Podcasts about Gollum

👉 La Comunidad se ha roto... pero la historia apenas comienza. En este episodio de Nakatomi Radio, nos adentramos en Las Dos Torres (2002), la segunda entrega de la trilogía de Peter Jackson. Una película más oscura, más bélica, y también más humana. Hablamos del discurso de Sam, de la evolución de Gollum, del asedio al Abismo de Helm y de por qué esta película marcó un antes y un después en la fantasía moderna. 🎙️ ¿Qué nos dice Las Dos Torres sobre la esperanza en tiempos oscuros? ¿Por qué muchos creen que es la mejor de la trilogía? ¿Y cómo se rodaron sus escenas más legendarias? 🧙‍♂️ Entra con nosotros en Rohan, en Fangorn, en las ruinas de la Compañía. Porque a veces, perderse es la única forma de encontrar algo más grande. 📌 Este episodio cierra nuestra temporada "LOST & FOUND", en la que hemos recorrido historias de búsquedas imposibles, identidades partidas, viajes sin mapa y regresos inesperados. Desde Karate Kid a Donnie Darko, pasando por El Cuervo, Bridget Jones o Salvar al soldado Ryan, cada película nos ha recordado que, en el fondo, todos estamos tratando de encontrar algo: un lugar, una persona, una versión de nosotros mismos. 💫 Y como dice Sam en Las Dos Torres, “hay algo bueno en este mundo, señor Frodo… y merece la pena luchar por ello”. Gracias por acompañarnos en esta aventura.

Arriva anche in Australia il film della regista Paola Randi. È la storia di tre adolescenti, il Frank e la Nina del titolo e Carlo, detto Gollum. La quarta protagonista di questa favola contemporanea è però Milano, una Milano segreta "che si nutre dei sogni di quelli che ci vanno all'inseguimento del futuro".

I am reading through Lord of the Rings for the first time, and I'm in chapter two. And I have to say, out of everything I have seen so far in this book, one of the things that surprised me the most was the sadness, hopeless, possessed story of Gollum.

Hochverehrte Zuhörerschaft, es wurde geweint, geschrien, gestritten – und gerechnet. Diese Folge ist eine kleine Auswertung des Lebens im permanenten Ausnahmezustand: Wer arbeitet eigentlich wie viel, wie viel ist Care-Arbeit, wie viel bleibt für Me-Time? Und wie fühlt sich das an, wenn man merkt: „Oh, ich gebe gerade 105%, aber ich schlafe trotzdem nicht“? Fanny und Alina sprechen über die Wutmomente, in denen man am liebsten gegen die Wand schlagen würde – oder es (ups) auch mal tut. Über das Handy, das sich wie ein Magnet anfühlt, auch wenn die Kinder zuschauen. Über die Scham, wenn man beim Chillen erwischt wird. Und über das Kind, das im teuersten Restaurant Berlins wie ein kleiner Gollum eine Limonade verteidigt, als ginge es um den Schatz von Mittelerde. Es geht ums Aushalten. Um Erschöpfung. Und um die Frage: Wie wollen wir eigentlich leben – und mit wem teilen wir die ganzen 100+ Prozent? Du möchtest mehr über unsere Werbepartner erfahren?

Tired of networking events that feel like one big awkward sales pitch? In this episode, I'm joined by Laura Gates Lupton for a real (and hilarious) behind-the-scenes look at how we created Networking Without the Schmooze an online event made especially for introverts, highly sensitive humans, and people who'd rather fake a power outage than give an elevator pitch. We talk about: Why traditional networking feels like Gollum trying to make small talk. The magic of prompts (and why they're not just “tell us what you do”). What really happens inside their monthly events (hint: no pitch slapping). How showing up as your full, unfiltered self can lead to the best connections. The power of brainstorming breakout rooms and permission to just be honest. Whether you're new to business, pivoting, or just sick of pretending everything's perfect, this is for you. Register for the next free event and check out the paid tier perks here: https://networkingwithoutschmooze.substack.com/ Real talk. Real people. Zero awkward icebreakers.

I've been revisiting Ursula K. Le Guin's brilliant essay "The Child and the Shadow". Le Guin was defending fantasy against the sterile modernism of her era—but what happens when that defence needs to evolve? We're no longer fighting a battle between "good" and "bad" fantasy. Instead, we're caught in something potentially more insidious: the tension between authentic imagination and the ersatz. From the disaster of Rings of Power to the destruction of Star Wars, from AI-generated Jung content flooding YouTube to the Soviet-style creative orthodoxy dominating our cultural institutions—we're witnessing the systematic neutering of the imaginal. But here's the thing: they can't actually touch the real. They break upon authentic creativity like waves upon rock. Through Le Guin's profound analysis of Hans Christian Andersen's "The Shadow" and Jung's psychology, I explore why confronting our shadow isn't just personal development—it's the key to understanding why authentic fantasy endures while corporate imitations crumble. Plus, I reveal how Bulgakov got there first in The Master and Margarita, showing us exactly what happens when the vital imaginal meets bureaucratic control. This isn't just about books or movies. It's about the difference between surface-level engagement and the depths where real creativity lives.

Aviewer recently asked whether Gollum is a “grey” character oractually two characters in light of his apparent split personality,and it made me think about an interesting parallel with the otherextended internal debate in the story: Sam's debate over whether toleave Frodo in Cirith Ungol. It's a fascinating comparison, as itturns out.OtherLinks: Playeur(formerly Utreon):https://playeur.com/c/TolkienLorePodcast/Rumble:https://rumble.com/c/c-355195Odysee:https://odysee.com/@TolkienLore:fTwitter:https://twitter.com/jrrtlorePatreon:https://www.patreon.com/tolkiengeekXeroShoes (affiliate link): https://xeroshoes.com/go/TolkienGeekDiscordserver invitelink:https://discord.gg/EVKynAj2m9(Iflink is expired contact me attolkienloremaster@gmail.comand I'll send a fresh invite link).

“He's made of knife.” This week's slimiest horror movie is... Terminator 2: Judgment Day. This film has everything: a corrupted Windows version of Gollum, a reality where John Connor skips leading the resistance and just lives his best life frothing lattes at a Glendale café, and a robot so anatomically gifted he can slice a sandwich with his knife-dick like he's the deli manager at Skynet Whole Foods.

Welcome to Director Watch! On this AwardsWatch podcast, co-hosts Ryan McQuade and Jay Ledbetter attempt to breakdown, analyze, and ultimately, get inside the mind of some of cinema's greatest auteurs. In doing so, they will look at their filmographies, explore what drives them artistically and what makes their decision making process so fascinating. Add in a few silly tangents and a fun game at the end of the episode and you've got yourself a podcast we truly hope you love. On episode 100 of the Director Watch Podcast, the boys are joined by AwardsWatch Associate Editor Sophia Ciminello to discuss the next film in their Peter Jackson series, The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers (2002). Once The Fellowship of the Ring released into theaters, and became the biggest film of the year, audiences didn't have to wait too long to go back and continue the journey in Middle Earth as the winter of 2002 brought the second chapter of The Lord of the Rings to the big screen. Continuing the events of the saga just after the separation of the fellowship, our heroes venture off into three separate but vital storylines for the ultimate destination of destroying the ring of power and saving Middle Earth from a dark war. Though the middle chapter, many, including Ryan, hold The Two Towers as their favorite entry into the trilogy, one with heart, action, and a new, game changing character in Gollum that makes for one of the most important villains in modern film. Ryan, Jay, and Sophia break down their thoughts on the film, the revolutionary work on Gollum, casting what ifs, the introduction to the Kingdom of Rohan and its incredible characters, why Jay doesn't think Legolas isn't that cool, what the gang was like in high school, space missions, favorite type of potato, and so many more thing about and not about the film. It's the 100th episode and it's a damn good one. You can listen to the Director Watch Podcast wherever you stream podcasts, from iTunes, iHeartRadio, Soundcloud, Stitcher, Spotify, Audible, Amazon Music and more. This podcast runs 2h54m. The guys will be back next week to continue their series on the films of Peter Jackson with a review of his next film, The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King.

In Episode 93 of the WGI Unleashed podcast, we're excited to introduce you to Grant Farley, EIT, a Senior Graduate Engineer in our MEP (Mechanical, Electrical, Plumbing) Division based out of WGI's Austin, TX office. Grant joined hosts Dan and Katie for a lively conversation full of laughs, career insights, and fun stories. From his small-town Texas roots and a childhood fascination with robotics to designing electrical systems for complex infrastructure projects across the country, this episode offers a look into the life of a young engineer making waves at WGI and proving that passion, curiosity, and a great team can take you far. From East Texas to Texas A&M Born and raised about 50 miles east of Dallas, Grant grew up in a town so small that his high school graduating class had just 47 students. But don't let the size fool you - Grant's drive and curiosity were anything but small. He was a standout athlete, an all-state football player, and a self-proclaimed tinkerer who loved pulling apart computers and competing in state-level robotics competitions. It was clear from early on that Grant was destined for a career in STEM. After high school, he enrolled at Texas A&M University and pursued a degree in Electrical Systems Engineering Technology, gravitating toward coursework focused on microcontrollers, embedded systems, and energy-efficient building technologies. Though he originally considered cybersecurity and IT due to family influence, Grant's experience in college steered him toward something more tangible - designing real-world electrical systems and infrastructure. Launching a Career with WGI Grant's professional journey with WGI began at a Texas A&M career fair, where he connected with company recruiters and "saw the light," so to speak. He immediately saw alignment between WGI's core values and his own - especially our commitment to innovation, integrity, and a people-first culture. Fast forward three years, and Grant has already earned a promotion from Graduate Engineer to Senior Graduate Engineer, taking on more responsibility and autonomy in the design process. He now collaborates directly with architects, project managers, and other disciplines to develop sophisticated electrical systems for buildings and infrastructure projects across the country. Spotlight on Projects: EV Infrastructure, Parking Garages, and Life Sciences Grant has had the opportunity to work on a diverse range of projects that reflect both the breadth and depth of WGI's capabilities. Some of his most notable contributions include: A major parking garage in Georgetown, TX – one of Grant's first opportunities to lead electrical design, from incoming utility coordination all the way down to branch-level circuits and lighting. Fleet EV (Electric Vehicle) charging infrastructure – part of a national initiative, these projects have deepened his expertise in power distribution and are helping drive the future of sustainable mobility. One of Austin's largest life sciences lab developments – a technically complex and 'power-dense' facility that has challenged Grant to apply creative thinking to a new project type for WGI. These experiences have taken him across the country - from St. Louis and Chicago to Louisiana and Arkansas - giving him valuable field exposure through punch walks, site investigations, and even topping-out ceremonies. A Day in the Life A typical day for Grant involves reviewing project scopes, breaking down design tasks, collaborating with internal teams, and diving deep into electrical layouts and code compliance. He frequently references the National Electrical Code, which serves as a standardized framework for his designs across state lines, with some jurisdictional nuances along the way. While the bulk of his work is rooted in design, Grant also appreciates the field-side experiences that bring his designs to life - literally seeing a project go from paper to reality. Life Outside of Work Outside the office, Grant is just as interesting. He's an avid fisherman and enjoys annual trips with his wife and her family to Port Aransas, TX, where beach days, charter fishing, and jetty-side hangs are a tradition. He even once rescued a sea turtle caught in the rocks - snapping a selfie before safely returning it to the ocean. He's also an occasional golfer, a dedicated sci-fi fan (currently working through The Expanse series), and a proud pet parent to what he jokingly calls a “mini zoo”: two dogs, two cats, and two ball pythons. From a sweet orange tabby named Kitty to their newest rescue cat Cipher, Grant and his wife have created a home that's as full of personality as he is. Oh—and he does a mean Gollum impression. You'll have to listen to believe it. Why WGI? When asked what makes WGI special, Grant doesn't hesitate: the people. He reflects on the supportive, collaborative environment and how the open design of WGI's new Austin office encourages cross-disciplinary conversations and teamwork. According to Grant, WGI's people-first culture is a key reason why he's not only stayed, but thrived. “Being able to go to work with people you enjoy, who support your growth and push you to do your best—that's what sets WGI apart.” Tune In This episode is packed with memorable moments—from rescuing sea turtles on the Texas coast to designing cutting-edge electrical systems across the country.

In the third of five special episodes to celebrate this podcast's 300th episode, focused on J.R.R. Tolkien's fantasy epic The Lord of the Rings, this episode is the second middle chapter, with no beginning and no end, just like The Two Towers.The Two Towers ups the ante from The Fellowship of the Ring, balancing intense action with rich storytelling. This episode focuses on the pivotal Battle of Helm's Deep and the groundbreaking introduction of Gollum, a character that redefined motion capture in film. Gollum's evolution from CGI concept to a fully realized character, is thanks to Andy Serkis' groundbreaking performance. The filming for The Two Towers included gruelling night shoots, and the sheer scale of the battle scenes meant that the crew ended up with "I survived Helm's Deep" t-shirts. It was a monumental filmmaking achievement, taking months to shoot under challenging conditions. The Lord of the Rings wouldn't be The Lord of the Rings, if it didn't feel like The Lord of the Rings, and esteemed Tolkien illustrators Alan Lee and John Howe were brought on as conceptual designers, ensuring visual continuity with the imagery many readers associated with the books. The artistry behind the sets and props in the series reflects a rich history, with every detail crafted to enhance the authenticity of Middle Earth. We wants it, we needs it.This episode is Part 2 of a three-part story, as well as Part 3 of a five-part group of episodes.

Episode 94: The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King Our long journey through Middle-earth reaches its end as the gang takes on the towering finale of Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings trilogy: The Return of the King. Craig lights the beacons with Producer's Notes (8:03), rallying the realm for the final leg of our quest. Alain draws his sword for the Beauclair Synopsis (20:22), charting the last stand against darkness with Aragorn's path to the throne and Frodo's climb toward Mount Doom. Chris raises the light of Eärendil in Philosopher's Corner (47:28), exploring the steadfast, selfless resolve of Aragorn, whose enduring hope inspires unity and courage in the face of overwhelming odds. The Black Gate then opens for a hearty discussion at The Round Table (1:00:16), before Reviews (1:54:04) and Mailbag (2:05:41) make the final climb in this epic and enduring saga. As always, we reflect on the philosophical and non-philosophical burdens carried along the film's long road—because even at the end of all things, there's still light to be found.

Solamente Dios». Romanos 7:24-25En El señor de los anillos, el profesor J. R. R. Tolkien presenta una criatura bastante peculiar: Sméagol, un hobbit que asesina a su pariente Déagol para despojarlo del anillo único, al que bautiza con el nombre de «precioso». Con el tiempo, el anillo altera el cuerpo y la mente de Smeagol, que pasa a llamarse Gollum, y cuando los protagonistas lo encuentran, Gollum «ama y odia el anillo tanto como se ama y se odia a sí mismo. Pero no puede deshacerse de él».* A lo largo de la obra de Tolkien, el lector ve cómo las dos personalidades de Gollum luchan entre sí. Smeagol quiere ser bueno y librarse de la influencia maligna del anillo; pero Gollum fantasea con la idea de recuperar su «precioso», intentando asesinar a Frodo en el proceso.La triste situación de Gollum no es más que un pálido reflejo de la lucha interna que existe en el interior de cada ser humano. En Romanos 7, el apóstol Pablo presenta su condición y la de cada ser humano. Todos tenemos un Smeagol interior, que quiere ser bueno, que reconoce que «la ley en sí misma es santa, y el mandamiento es santo, justo y bueno» (vers. 12), que tiene «el deseo de hacer lo bueno» (vers. 18) y le gusta «la ley de Dios» (vers. 22). Pero hay también un Gollum dentro que «se opone a mi capacidad de razonar» (vers. 23), que me engaña (vers. 11) y me hace «débil, vendido como esclavo al pecado» (vers. 14), de manera que «aunque tengo el deseo de hacer lo bueno, no soy capaz de hacerlo. No hago lo bueno que quiero hacer, sino lo malo que no quiero hacer» (vers. 18-19).Dejarnos gobernar por nuestra naturaleza pecaminosa nos llevará a la destrucción eterna, así como le sucedió al personaje ficticio Gollum, que murió al caer al interior de un volcán. Sin embargo, Pablo destaca que en Jesús hay esperanza, ya que Dios tiene el poder de liberarnos de nuestra naturaleza pecaminosa. Él puede convertirnos en nuevas criaturas que busquen las cosas del cielo, donde Cristo está sentado a la derecha de Dios» (Colosenses 3: 1). Por nuestras propias fuerzas, tú y yo no podemos despojarnos del pecado que consideramos «precioso», pero al entregarle nuestra voluntad a Jesús, él nos transformará.

Case and Sam are looking back at the earliest episodes of the show! Check out their thoughts on the seventeenth episode when Case sat down with Ben Milton and Addy Thomas and chatted about The Hobbit Trilogy! Overview   In the latest Podcast Discussion meeting, hosts Case and Sam explored a meta-review of their previous episode on The Hobbit trilogy, originally recorded after their first year of podcasting. The discussion began with an overview of the original episode, highlighting a consensus that three films were excessive for the source material. They praised Martin Freeman's casting as Bilbo while critiquing Peter Jackson for trying to align the film's style with The Lord of the Rings, particularly noting that the addition of the villain Azog was unnecessary. They also pointed out issues with character design and narrative structure, suggesting a two-film adaptation could have better captured character arcs and pacing, particularly with scenes involving Smaug. The Battle of Five Armies was identified as the weakest film, marred by excessive padding and a lack of personal stakes compared to earlier battles in the franchise. The hosts expressed the importance of subtlety in fan service and connections to The Lord of the Rings while reflecting on their own views from the initial episode. They concluded by sharing their love for film and announced upcoming episodes focused on Captain America and Alien Resurrection, while encouraging listener engagement through their Discord server.   Notes Introduction and Episode Context (00:00 - 09:47) Case and Sam introduce this meta-episode reviewing a previous podcast about The Hobbit trilogy The original episode featured Case, Ben, and Addie discussing at 'CPOV Studios' They note this was recorded after completing the first year of the podcast Main critique established immediately: three movies was far too many for The Hobbit source material The hosts mention they didn't rewatch the entire trilogy for this meta-review Initial Critique of The Hobbit Films (09:48 - 19:09) The hosts praise Martin Freeman's casting as Bilbo as a perfect choice that connects to Elijah Wood's Frodo They criticize Peter Jackson for trying to make The Hobbit fit the style and scale of Lord of the Rings The unnecessary villain Azog (the pale orc) is identified as a major problem They note Jackson used artificial narrative structures to create three separate arcs where the source material didn't support it Discussion of how Lord of the Rings doesn't rely on personified villains, but on evil as a force ‍️ Character and Design Issues (19:09 - 28:25) The hosts criticize the framing device that has Bilbo explaining the dwarven kingdom's history They argue Bilbo should be an uninformed viewpoint character discovering the world along with the audience The dwarves' inconsistent design is highlighted as problematic (either caricatures or just normal people) They discuss how the dwarves don't feel cohesive like in Lord of the Rings and lack distinct personalities Case praises the Gollum scenes as genuinely excellent despite other issues ️ Proposed Two-Movie Structure (28:25 - 37:07) Case suggests ending the first movie at Lake Town as a natural breaking point This would create a moment where Bilbo has a true choice to continue or turn back They discuss how this cut would make Bilbo's character arc work better for the first film The second film could focus on Thorin's character arc They criticize how the actual film cuts (especially the Desolation of Smaug ending) feel like TV cliffhangers Smaug and Pacing Issues (37:07 - 46:35) The hosts praise the actual Smaug and Bilbo conversation scenes They criticize the extended Smaug chase/forge scenes as unnecessary padding Discussion of how Jackson is good at bringing book scenes to life but struggles when expanding material They propose that the second movie should open with the dwarves finding the door to the Lonely Mountain They critique the narrative weight of many extended sequences that don't actually advance the story ️ Battle of Five Armies Criticisms (46:36 - 55:45) The Battle of Five Armies is identified as the weakest film with the most padding They argue the battle should have been the third act of a movie, not an entire film Discussion of how the battle needed to feel smaller and more personal than Lord of the Rings battles They appreciate the decision to make Bilbo more active in the battle than in the book The hosts criticize the 'video game' quality of action sequences like the barrel rider scene ‍️ Fan Service and Connections to Lord of the Rings (55:45 - 01:04:58) They discuss how Legolas' inclusion made sense for the first film but was forced in later films They appreciate seeing Saruman before his fall to evil The hosts criticize heavy-handed references to Lord of the Rings (like mentioning Aragorn/Strider) They note how forcing connections to the original trilogy hurt the story Discussion of the 'video game' quality of action sequences compared to Lord of the Rings Meta-Discussion of the Episode (01:04:58 - 01:15:51) Sam and Case reflect on the original episode, finding it thorough and well-argued Sam admits not rewatching the trilogy for this meta-review as it would be too time-consuming They reaffirm that the trilogy's main problem is its excessive length Sam praises the costumes while Case notes the 48 FPS format made everything look fake They discuss how watching the entire Middle-earth saga chronologically would be challenging Final Thoughts and Upcoming Episodes (01:15:51 - 01:32:34) Case reiterates that a good two-movie cut exists within the trilogy's footage They agree the first film is the most watchable of the three Both hosts express their love for the first Captain America film (their next episode topic) Sam mentions she didn't rewatch the Hobbit films as they would take 10+ hours They provide information about their Discord server and social media presence Upcoming podcast episodes announced: Alien Resurrection and Captain America: The First Avenger Action items Join and participate in the Discord server for further discussion (01:31:00)

Dibyendu Bhattacharya, a versatile Indian actor with deep Bengali roots, has carved a niche in theatre, film, and digital media through iconic roles and artistic integrity. Born in Kolkata, his journey began with a shift from cricket to storytelling, followed by formal training at the National School of Drama (NSD), where he honed his craft alongside peers like Irrfan Khan. His theatrical genesis includes 55+ plays and socially charged performances with Jana Natya Manch, establishing his unique stage presence. In cinema, Dibyendu gained recognition with Satya (1998), delivered breakthrough roles like Chunni in Dev.D (2009), and ad-libbed the iconic line “Keh ke loonga!” in Gangs of Wasseypur. His digital acclaim includes Criminal Justice (2019) and The Railway Men, earning awards for portraying Kamruddin, a heroic railway worker during the Bhopal Gas Tragedy. Noteworthy roles span morally complex characters like Sub-Inspector Imtiaz (Ab Tak Chhappan) and Yeda Yakub (Black Friday), alongside supporting figures like sports journalist Debashish Banerjee (Goal). Beyond acting, Dibyendu practices Vipassana meditation, draws inspiration from Buddhist philosophy, and mentors talents like Parineeti Chopra. A connoisseur of Bengali literature and Satyajit Ray’s films, he quietly supports NGOs for child education and rural theatre. His disciplined lifestyle, shaped by overcoming childhood asthma, and versatility across media—including voicing Gollum in Hindi—cement his legacy as a multifaceted artist bridging cultural heritage and contemporary narratives.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Are our phones becoming our “precious”? Rabbi Josh Feigelson explores how our relationship with technology mirrors Gollum's obsession with the Ring of Power in the Lord of the Rings Series. Drawing on Jewish wisdom and the spirit of Shabbat, Rabbi Feigelson offers practical steps to reset our digital habits and create a meaningful “tech sabbath.” In the fourth installment of a miniseries on mindfulness and Shabbat, discover how unplugging—even for just a few hours—can lead to greater presence, mindfulness, and connection with what truly matters. Soulful Jewish Living: Mindful Practices for Every Day is a production of Unpacked, a division of OpenDor Media, and the Institute for Jewish Spirituality. This episode was sponsored by Jonathan and Kori Kalafer and the Somerset Patriots: The Bridgewater, NJ-based AA Affiliate of the New York Yankees.
