HBO Max is dead! Long live HBO… and, uh… Max! Just separately! But together! Also House Hunters is there! MAX! (Don't worry, we'll explain.) But first! Join us as we cruise through the week's other big streaming stories sipping champagne with Conor and the gang (like the HBO loving coastal elite we know you are): The Mario Movie broke records, but finding it on streaming will only break your brain. WWE and UFC merged, but what will that mean for everyone's favorite streaming bird: Peacock? Disney tries to reassure fans that Star Wars is definitely, maybe, probably going to make another movie… … and that they promise they won't make us watch another season of Obi-Wan Kenobi (uhh… kind of a weird flex, but okay!). But no troubled franchise is troubled quite like Amazon's The Rings of Power, which even fans struggled to finish. We'll share the eye-popping details from Kim Masters at The Hollywood Reporter. Rumor has it the mad scientists at HBO are getting ready to invent prequel inception with a Game of Thrones prequel prequel… … but first we're all taking a trip to Thailand with The White Lotus! And, of course, we convene an emergency check-in after last weekend's big episode of Succession. ———

Why didn't the eagles fly Frodo to Mordor? Were Sam and Frodo gay? Was The Lord of the Rings intended to be a Christian work of literature? Dr. Austin Freeman is at The Babylon Bee to tell us what the theology of J.R.R. Tolkien was and also whether Amazon's The Rings of Power should be cast into the fires of Mt. Doom. Dr. Austin Freeman is a lecturer at Houston Christian University and a classical school teacher who holds a PhD from Trinity Evangelical Divinity School. He has written a new book about the theology of J.R.R. Tolkien called Tolkien Dogmatics: https://www.amazon.com/Tolkien-Dogmatics-Theology-Mythology-Middle-earth/dp/1683596676 This is episode is brought to you by BetterHelp: http://betterhelp.com/babylonbee To watch the full interview, become a premium subscriber: https://babylonbee.com/plans?utm_source=PYT&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=description

In a pod, in the cloud, the Shuffle Bois and special guest BillBurr Baggins leave the POW camp of life and talk about a hopeful, optimistic, escapist fantasy, The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring. The first entry in Peter Jackson's masterpiece trilogy, so many things make it great: its fundamentally sincere and positive message, the spectacular worldbuilding and execution of Peter Jackson's vision, and its perfect pacing (despite its extended runtime). We also trace the behind-the-scenes making of the film, muse on what the movie would look and sound like if other directors had made it, and discuss the film's long-lasting impact on culture, whether that be through memes, the attempted cash cow that was the Hobbit trilogy, or the absolute trainwreck debacle that was Amazon's “The Rings of Power.” 00:00 Intro 04:16 Actual Topic Intro 16:00 Plot Walkthrough 34:00 Themes of LoTR 41:13 How did the movie get made? 1:02:00 Echoes in the culture 1:09:50 It's reception in 2000s Culture

Carl Trueman writes for First Things that romance is dead, and the sexual revolutionaries killed it. Romance depends on virtue and morality, and cannot exist in an environment where these things are abolished and scoffed at. This makes a lot of sense, and it is encouraging to hear a counter to the smear that everyone is obligated to watch a movie about gay men flirting with and seducing one another, or else they're bigots. Speaking of being accused of bigotry, I watched the entirety of Amazon's ‘The Rings of Power' series this week. It felt wrong to merely repeat the criticisms of others in this case, though I did recently pass along what some of those were from a review Daniel Coates published at Not the Bee. Some things are written as though they're supposed to sound very profound, like they're inspired by lines from the movies and books; but they have a clunkiness and lack of elegance if you consider them in more than a brief and superficial way. I'm inclined to agree with Ben Shapiro and Matt Walsh on this point, that Amazon just flat isn't capable of doing justice to Tolkien today, given their precommitments philosophically, politically, and culturally. The best they can do is imitate, but they cannot replicate. The result is more a caricature than a continuation in many places. The casting of ethnically diverse actors need make sense only along one very obvious line. Woke culture and politics demands racial diversity in casting. But a clearly white character can have a person of color for their mother or daughter or son, and the audience is expected to say nothing negative or critical about it on pain of denunciation for racism. This is a cheap trick, and an abuse of both the audience and source material. Speaking of abuse, the CDC is considering making the COVID vaccine mandatory for Public School attendance nationwide here in the U.S. Meanwhile, Boston University has developed a Covid strain that has an 80% kill rate in mice. That is to say that the idea that the original virus was engineered and released on a schedule is proven conclusively in my mind. Stories weekly of totally healthy people abruptly dying for no apparent reason. That is highly suspicious, and I'm going to say the quiet part out loud. But are these abrupt deaths due to the COVID vaccine? And is this just the beginning of a wave of significant population decrease? Megan Basham at The Daily Wire keeps on writing about how Francis Collins and Anthony Fauci waged a propaganda war to discredit and smear scientists and experts - like epidemiologists Dr. Jay Bhattacharya, professor of medicine at Stanford - when they spoke out against the lockdowns, and mandates for masks and vaccines. And for their part, prominent figures in American Evangelicalism corresponded and coordinated with Francis Collins, and were willing accomplices in maligning the integrity, maturity, and sincerity of American Christians who attempted to express dissent with COVID policies. In short, American Christians need a civics lesson. They may get one by reading works like ‘Reflections on the Revolution in France' by Edmund Burke, or ‘Democracy in America' by Alexis de Tocqueville. And they should. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/garrett-ashley-mullet/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/garrett-ashley-mullet/support

Amazon's “The Rings of Power” has generated a lot of debate, and one aspect of that is the common criticism that much of the show is unrealistic. Equally common, seemingly, is a rebuttal to the effect that the show is fantasy and therefore doesn't need to be realistic. But Tolkien would very much disagree with this statement. I've done some other videos on elements of Tolkien's “On Fairy Stories” in case you're interested: On Fairy Stories: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PnMG5HhKK50&t=1s Eucatastrophe: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HqYeBmw4ORY&t=25s Other Links: Utreon: https://utreon.com/c/TolkienLorePodcast/ Rumble at https://rumble.com/c/c-355195 Odysee: https://odysee.com/@TolkienLore:f Twitter: https://twitter.com/jrrtlore Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/tolkiengeek Discord server invite link: https://discord.gg/EVKynAj2m9 (If link is expired contact me at tolkienloremaster@gmail.comand I'll send a fresh invite link). --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/joshua6469/support

This week we break down Episode 5 of Amazon's The Rings of Power. Is this week's episode just filler? And who are those new folks in white!? Spoilers ahead!

Amazon's The Rings of Power and HBO's House of the Dragon are two of the hottest shows out right now. In this episode, we dig deep into the authors, fantasy universes and worldviews behind The Lord of the Rings and Game of Thrones.How are these works similar and different?

After shit-talking it in their House of the Dragon episode, Danny and Kevin discuss the two-part premiere of Amazon's The Rings of Power. While both agree that the show is not cheap-looking at all (like, at all, it looks gorgeous) only one enjoyed it and is looking forward to more. The other is a Negative Nori whose heart is as cold as Forodwaith. Is this show a worthy successor to the Peter Jackson trilogy? Is it a good adaptation of Tolkien's notoriously difficult-to-adapt ramblings When exactly in the bafflingly long timeline of Middle-Earth does this show take place? Where in this world is Carmen Sauron-diego? Is the gentleman in the meteor Gandalf? Spoilers, the gentleman in the meteor is almost certainly Gandalf. And spoilers, Gandalf is probably in this show. May a star shine upon your hearing of this episode.

Bryan became a father, Josh went on vacation & 343 released the road map all in the time since we last recorded an episode. We can't think of a better time to cover the first half of Amazon's The Rings of Power. They call it a MINE. A MINE!!

Have you ever had that experience of watching a Lord of the Rings movie and a character gives a passing reference to something only a big fan would know about? You want to fit in with your friends who claim to be self-entitled Tolkien Scholars, so you pretend to know what they're talking about; but in reality, you don't know and maybe you don't care. A moment like this happens in the latest episode of The Rings of Power and fear not! We Love That Podcast has got your back!

The upside-down world continues to spin into chaos. Obama seems to dislike Biden as much as we do. The Left continues to show hypocrisy when it comes to accepting outcomes of elections. Will more COVID shots be in our future? After all, the reason God made us is to get vaccines. Healthy athletes are suspiciously getting more blood clots recently. Amazon's "The Rings of Power" has an amazing viewer count for its opening weekend, but it appears that not many people enjoyed it. Rotten Tomatoes gives it an abysmal viewer rating. Stu Burguiere joins the show for the over/under on the upcoming football season. Just how far are we now on the ten stages to genocide chart?

HBO and Amazon are competing for which show will attract more viewers: “House of the Dragon,” or “The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power?”

Special interview with Michael Dunn! Chicon 8 is coming up! Try to be there! Thoughts on Amazon's "The Rings of Power," and Nexflix possibly pulling the plug on "The Sandman." Multiple writers groups springing up all over Milwaukee. Timothy Zahn gets poured a Cold One.  

To whet your appetite for Amazon's The Rings of Power we talked with Tolkien illustrator Kip Rasmussen. He shares how he was lucky enough to have the same art teacher through middle and high school who exposed him to a variety of mediums. The influence Tolkien's work has had on him and how the three "Frank's" have influenced him. He also shares some great advice if you want to be an artist or author. You can find him at www.kiprasmussen.com and at a convention near you.

WIth one week to go before the release of Amazon's The Rings of Power, I talk about my expectations at this point, and review the latest trailer (8/24).RINGS OF POWER Controversies » Why Compressing The Second Age Timeline Is Wrong » LOTR on Prime » https://youtu.be/RfJraeLEjzALINKS:- FOLLOW » https://twitter.com/tolkienroad- SUPPORT » https://patreon.com/tolkienroad- WEBSITE » https://tolkienroad.com/

This week we discuss if Sandman is getting a season two and the state of Netflix. Plus, as AMC stocks plummet and Cineworld (who owns Regal Cinemas) heads towards Chapter 11 bankruptcy, what is in store for the theater experience? We discuss. Top Gun: Maverick producer Jerry Bruckheimer says there's too much CGI in movies and Maverick soared because of real authentic stunts. Is this true and should we go back to more practical effects? HBO gave us a teaser for their upcoming slate and tagged at the end we get our first footage of "The Last of Us" series based on the popular video game of the same name starring Pedro Pascal · Joel ; Bella Ramsey · Ellie ; Nick Offerman · Bill ; Merle Dandridge · Marlene ; Anna Torv · Tess, coming in 2023. Then HBO's House of the Dragon debut is their biggest opening ever for an original HBO Max series even crashing their site. The show stars Paddy Considine · King Viserys Targaryen ; Emma D'Arcy · Princess Rhaenyra Targaryen ; Matt Smith · Prince Daemon Targaryen ; Rhys Ifans · Otto Hightower. But how is the show and will the audience stick around? In other news, Dan Harmon gives us a Community movie update based on the show, it's still possible! Plus rumblings that DisneyPlus is developing a King Kong series based in the world of Godzilla vs Kong and will see a return to Skull Island. Then for our See It or Skip It, Amazon's The Rings of Power gets a longer "final" trailer for the upcoming show. What did we think of the trailer and the upcoming show? Then we have some twitter questions around MoviePass returning and movies we love from the actor John Lithgow. Do you have questions, topics, or movie recommendations for us?? Tweet us @watchfultweets or with #watchclosely, we love talking movies online and we'll discuss any related topic or questions on the show.

We talk about their time working on Peter Jackson's The Lord of the Rings movies, their new podcast The Friendship Onion, and everything in between.

What's got Reese in such a feisty mood? Is it the Ragnar in him? The Coldbros are back to talk more about Middle Earth and the continued drama behind Amazon's The Rings of Power. More developments means more discussion, and some developments have some Tolkien fans alarmed. We also jump into our first IDAO (I'll do anything once) segment in a long while! In our Coldbow Awards episode, Troy nominated the film The Harder They Fall for best musical score. A nomination he felt went overlooked a bit - so he decided to make a whole damn episode about it! The Harder They Fall is a western film that released on Netflix in 2021. It stars Idris Elba, Jonathan Majors, Zazie Beetz, LaKeith Stanfield, and more in a story about revenge, bank robberies, and cowboy gangs. The Coldbros discuss the film's soundtrack, story, history, cinematography, & gratuitous violence. The hip slinging gunster in Troy can't get enough. Reese why you so mad, bro?
