In this episode of WCAT TV's discussion of Mount Doom, author Paul List and Tolkien scholar Joseph Pierce discuss their interpretations of J.R.R. Tolkien's "The Lord of the Rings" through a Thomistic lens.Paul emphasizes the book's themes of original sin, mortal sin, and the fear of death, linking characters like Tom Bombadil and Goldberry to the rational will and intellect. Joseph praises the book's comprehensive analysis but cautions against reductionism, suggesting that Tolkien's work is broader and more nuanced. They also discuss the potential impact of artificial intelligence and the importance of preserving Catholic tradition. Both agree on the significance of Tolkien's work in addressing contemporary spiritual and technological challenges. The discussion explores the connections between J.R.R. Tolkien's "The Lord of the Rings" and the themes of technology, artificial intelligence, and Christian faith.Paul highlights Tolkien's prescience, particularly his understanding of Alan Turing's concepts, which influences the portrayal of Sauron and the Eye of Sauron. Joseph emphasizes the importance of reading Tolkien's work as a story and of recognizing its deeper Christian themes, such as the long defeat and the ultimate victory of good over evil. Both agree on the need to return to faith and the dangers of worshiping technology.Concerning the book under discussion:In Mount Doom: The Prophecy of Tolkien Revealed, Paul List and Ali Ghaffari present a bold reinterpretation of J.R.R. Tolkien's mythology, arguing that a hidden philosophical and spiritual framework underlies The Lord of the Rings. Drawing from Catholic theology, Thomistic philosophy, psychology, and cultural criticism, the authors explore Tolkien's legendarium as a prophetic warning about technology, artificial intelligence, idolatry, and the crisis of the modern soul. This provocative study challenges readers to see Middle-earth—and themselves—in an entirely new way. Concerning the speakers:Paul List is co-author with Ali Ghaffari of Mount Doom: The Prophecy of Tolkien Revealed. Drawing on years of study in philosophy, theology, mythology, and Tolkien's legendarium, Paul has developed a bold and deeply original interpretation of Tolkien's work—one that connects The Lord of the Rings to questions of metaphysics, technology, artificial intelligence, and the spiritual crisis of modern civilization. His work challenges readers to reconsider Tolkien not only as a master storyteller, but also as a prophetic thinker speaking directly to our own age.Joseph Pearce, one of the world's leading Catholic literary scholars and biographers. A prolific author, editor, and speaker, Joseph has written extensively on J.R.R. Tolkien, C.S. Lewis, G.K. Chesterton, Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, and many of the great literary voices of the Christian tradition. His work has helped countless readers rediscover the spiritual, philosophical, and theological depth embedded within great literature.

Our biggest local con starts today, Fan Expo Denver. Over the past 10+ years, it has become a juggernaut. Some highlights this year, for me at least, include a pretty comprehensive Scream and Goonies reunion, most of the cast of The Boys, all the Hobbits, and a huge amount of voice actors, including Michael Bell, Peter Cullen, Frank Welker, and Matthew Wood. It has ballooned to a 4-day event. We'll do our shopping early today, then we do panels most of the time, and we'll squeeze in the exhibit floor as we have time. One of our favorite things to do is hit up celebrity row. Or I should say rows, nowadays. Since we're not big autograph people, we're too cheap, we love just walking that area and seeing our favorite celebs interacting with fans, hanging out, or even just being on their phones.

The Medieval Revival of the 1960s and '70s coincided and communicated closely with the LOTR books' surge in popularity at that time.Hippies and other sects of 1960s counterculture adopted the Shire and the Hobbits as their own, and produced expressions of art and culture that Tolkien was really kind of a curmudgeon about. In this episode we explore how medievalism (or MODievalism) permeated 1960s pop culture, in art, literature, media, and fashion. We also look at how different versions of Middle Earth were envisioned by various artists, from those influenced by the hippies' love for the books, to the artist Alan Lee, whose work reflected a reverence for Tolkien's particular preferences and went on to influence the aesthetics of the Peter Jackson films.See the images we reference on our Instagram.Further Reading:LitHub article on Alan Lee's illustrationsAmerican Cinematographer article on visualization in the Jackson filmsCollection of Tolkien's own drawings and paintingsSampling of LOTR book coversHobbits and Hippies article from BBCAnti-War Adoption of The Lord of the Rings paperMedieval revival of the 1960s and 1970s blog post

We're starting a new season and a new series, looking at all things "handed down."

We start out this week looking at the Hobbits and all of the things Bilbo hands down to Frodo (his home, his ring, his adventuring gear, and also his 'Tookish' adventuring spirit).

On this episode of Expanded Perspectives, Kyle kicks things off by recounting a recent trip he and Luke took to San Antonio for a horror festival—an event packed with eerie atmosphere, strange encounters, and plenty of inspiration for the unexplained.From there the show dives straight into a series of chilling listener stories. One woman shares a disturbing encounter deep in the woods of West Virginia, where she claims to have stumbled upon what appeared to be a clan of feral people living far from civilization. Another strange report comes out of rural Arkansas, where a witness describes a large, Bigfoot-like creature sneaking onto her property and stealing chickens in the dead of night.After the break, Kyle explores a far more unsettling corner of folklore and legend—the terrifying side of the world's little people.Most people imagine these beings as harmless figures from fairy tales: gnomes beneath toadstools, fairies dancing in moonlit glades, pixies darting through the trees like sparks of light. Across many cultures, these small humanoids are said to dwell in hidden corners of the world, quietly watching from forests, caves, and ancient hillsides. But not all of the stories paint such a gentle picture.Kyle examines darker legends of mysterious tiny beings reported across the globe. From the eerie tales of the Ebu gogoon the Indonesian island of Flores, to the clawed, nocturnal river creatures of Cuba known as the Guije, and the mysterious underground builders of Hawaii called the Menehune.Along the way, the discussion even touches on the real-world discovery of Homo floresiensis, the tiny ancient humans uncovered on Flores—nicknamed “the Hobbits”—and the unsettling possibility that some legends may have deeper roots in reality than we once believed.From strange sightings in Epping Forest to bizarre wartime encounters on the windswept cliffs of Orkney Islands, tonight's episode explores the darker side of a legend most people think they understand.Sponsors:IQBAR: Right now, IQBAR is offering our special podcast listeners 20% off all IQBAR products, plus get FREE shipping.

Welcome to the first game review of 2026, and it’s a doozy. Fantasy Wargaming: The Highest Level of All, edited by Bruce Galloway, and published in 1981, is famous (notorious?) for clunky rules, odd premises, and far too much about how terrible the Dark Ages were. Despite no Halflings or Hobbits in the game, your Fab 4 Halflings review the game and blame DM Mike for choosing it after years of threats to do so. Come for the Lions with one head and two bodies, stay for the Devil Worship! No PCs were harmed in the making of this podcast, though female PCs are pretty ticked off!

*VIDEO AVAILABLE ON SPOTIFY AND YOUTUBE*This week on The Sisters of the Shire Podcast, we're still riding the high from an absolute blast at Fan Expo Portland — because yes, we met the Hobbits in real life and we are not emotionally recovered. We're sharing what the convention was like, the moments that made us lose all composure, the unexpected highlights, and why Tolkien fans might just be the best people on the planet. From celebrity encounters to nerdy joy overload, this episode is a cozy, chaotic recap of a weekend that felt straight out of every Tolkien Nerd's dream.

The Shameless Plug is never late. Nor is it early. It arrives precisely when it means to, roughly halfway through the on-sale cycle of the latest issue of Empire. To which, after all, this show is dedicated to shamelessly plugging. And once again, the Fellowship of the Plug — Chris Hewitt and Empire editor, Nick de Semlyen — have assembled in the Podmines of Moria for that plugging. You have Nick's microphone, and Chris' copy of Adobe Audition, and if the deluge of Lord Of The Rings references hadn't already clued you in, the duo are here to talk about issue 450 of Empire, which is dedicated to celebrating 25 years of The Lord Of The Rings: The Fellowship Of The Rings. Nick regales us all with tales of reuniting the four Hobbits and Sir Ian McKellen, virtually collecting the rest of the Fellowship, plus Cate Blanchett, Liv Tyler, Peter Jackson, Philippa Boyens, and getting Andy Serkis to write a piece for us. It's not all LOTR, with tales of Raimi-wrangling, a bit of Gore, and a Gollum impression you will never be able to unhear. Simples. Enjoy!

What if The Lord of the Rings was never just a story?What if Tolkien was encoding a spiritual map for men living in the modern war for the soul?In this episode of The Manly Catholic, James Caldwell speaks with author and philosopher Paul List, co-author of Mount Doom: The Prophecy of Tolkien Revealed, to expose what Tolkien was really writing about: original sin, virtue and vice, artificial intelligence, and so much more.Paul reveals how Tolkien's mythology is a Catholic psychological map of the human soul. Hobbits as habits. The Ring as addiction. Sauron as AI. Middle-earth as the mind. Vice as Orcs. Virtue as the Fellowship. Faith and reason as elves and men.Temperance, fortitude, prudence, and justice as the cardinal virtues sent on a mission to destroy the Ring.This conversation connects Tolkien to Aquinas, Aristotle, St. Augustine, and how prophetic his beloved stories really are for the modern man.James also issues a direct challenge to men:Stop living passively. Clean up your habits. Reject pornography. Reject the virtual world. Build competence. Build virtue. Cultivate discipline. Become dangerous in holiness.This is not entertainment.This is formation.And neutrality is no longer an option.Push play if you're done being comfortable and ready to become dangerous for Christ.

To prepare for Homer, Virgil, Beowulf, the Eddas, and Dante—The Heights begins with Tolkien. In a talk from 2016, former middle school core teacher and current upper school classics teacher Tom Cox defends the place of J. R. R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings in the epic tradition.

Starting The Fellowship of the Ring and feeling overwhelmed by names, races, and places you're “supposed” to know already?You're not alone.In this episode of Fantasy for the Ages, Jim breaks down a clean, beginner-friendly Who's Who of The Fellowship of the Ring — the characters who actually matter, what their roles are, and why you should care, without drowning in Tolkien lore, appendices, or homework.We'll cover:• Every member of the Fellowship• Key Elves, Hobbits, and Men you'll meet along the way• The ancient beings and quiet side characters that add emotional weight• The shadowy forces that set the stakes for the entire journeyWhether this is your first time reading Tolkien, a reread after years away, or you've only ever watched the movies and want to try the books, this episode is designed to make Middle-earth feel approachable, not intimidating.

Most people haven’t read how Tolkien actually wrote how The Hobbit precisely connects to The Lord of the Rings.  In The Quest of Erebor (first published in Unfinished Tales) Tolkien explains precisely how every major event in The Hobbit is connected to the greater story in The Lord of the Rings. And it’s not only the historical/factual connections–Tolkien clearly connects the philosophical underpinnings of Middle-earth more clearly into The Hobbit too! We take a look at: The three published versions of the Quest for Erebor—and why the Annotated Hobbit's is the longest and most complete Gandalf's “absurd” commitment to Bilbo, and why he pushes for a stealthy quest instead of open war Why Gandalf was concerned about the Hobbits forgetting the  “high and perilous” figures of legend. The crucial role of Smaug as the north's wild card, and why Gandalf fears a Sauron-Smaug alliance In our extended episode (available for our members) we talk about: How Tolkien could have retconned: stone giants, Beorn's descendants, Gundabad orcs, and trala-lally elves into The Lord of the Rings How Gandalf's mysterious “waking mind” connects to fate and agency in Tolkien's world Listener corrections and deep-dives into Hobbit trivia

Fr. Anthony talks with returning host, Deacon Seraphim Richard Rohlin, as the Hobbits have a very unsettling after-dinner conversation.

Tiny Terrors (Part III) - Elves! Leprechauns! Imps! Goblins! Green Goblins! Hobgoblins! Hobbits! and Halflings! Just in time for the annual Halloween-Christmas special, Snobby Bobby and CRD reunite to discuss a more traditional tiny terror - the Rumpelstiltskin - more specifically the 1995 straight to video (probably) Mark Jones directed version. But before all that, they sensually express their love and friendship through gift giving and banter about movies people have already talked about on the internet. MERRY CHRISTMAS!!  Rumpelstiltskin review starts at: 1:02:20 Movie Recap: Unconventional Christmas watches 80s Ninja Movies The Empty Man (2020) Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair (2025) IT: Welcome to Derry (2025) Support: patereon.com/notforeveryone Drink more coffee: https://www.foxnsons.com/  PROMOCODE: NFE

O advogado Igor Vasconcelos recorreu à obra clássica de J.R.R. Tolkien, especificamente ao livro 'O Senhor dos Anéis: As Duas Torres', para defender seu cliente, Sérgio Ricardo Cavalieri, no julgamento da trama golpista.A analogia narra a cena em que os Hobbits, após escaparem, encontram o ente Barbávore.Ao descrever uma montanha como "morro", Barbávore conclui que a palavra é "apressada demais" para descrever o tamanho e a história da montanha.Em O Antagonista, você encontra um jornalismo de investigação, com análises precisas e opiniões sem concessões. Acompanhamos de perto os bastidores da política, da economia e as principais notícias  do Brasil e do Mundo.    Siga O Antagonista no X:  https://x.com/o_antagonista     Acompanhe O Antagonista no canal do WhatsApp.    Boletins diários, conteúdos exclusivos em vídeo e muito mais.        https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029Va2S...       Ouça O Antagonista | Crusoé quando quiser nos principais aplicativos de podcast.      Leia mais em www.oantagonista.com.br | www.crusoe.com.br

We are finally done talking about Sex and the City!We conclude our discussion with an examination of Miranda and Charlotte as foils of one another, and through the lens of archetypes rather than fully developed characters, branching off from our talk last episode about the theory of the three other women as facets of Carrie.This leads to the most interesting part of the entire series, where we delve into the classic four-character-group dynamic, with the archetypes of Patriarch, Matriarch, Craftsman, and Clown. We spend way too much time (probably) talking about famous groups of four characters and how they fit in to these archetypes, leading with Sex and the City, The Golden Girls, and the March sisters from Little Women. We found the pattern fits for the Beatles, the Plastics from Mean Girls, the Hobbits from The Lord of the Rings, and many more...Further Reading:Arrested Development creator Mitchell Hurwitz talks about the archetypes and the Bluth siblingsBuzzfeed breaks down a bunch of four-character groupsBuzzfeed also highlights how Miranda was always the worst
