Podcasts about The Lord of the Rings

In this episode of In Search of the Crystal Skull, Arun and Patricia venture out into a new themed month: Fantasy Month! They begin with the 1977 animated TV adaptation of J.R.R. Tolkien's novel The Hobbit produced by Rankin/Bass and Topcraft. A hobbit named Bilbo Baggins is called in by a wizard named Gandalf to join alongside 13 dwarfs to help defeat a dragon named Smaug who had stolen their treasure and driven them away from their home at the Lonely Mountain. Bilbo, unsure if he's able to partake in a huge task, is convinced by Gandalf that he's the "burglar" they need for their quest. When it first aired on NBC, it was praised by critics for being faithful to the book in 90 minutes with it being an easy story for kids to get involved in as well as fans of the source material. However, some critiques over the years brought up its pace, constant songs, and uneventful journey, especially to those who are more familiar with the Lord of the Rings films directed by Peter Jackson. It currently has a rating of 69% on Rotten Tomatoes. Did Arun and Patricia begin their journey to Fantasy Month with an epic start or a mediocre path? Listen and find out. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/old-school-lane/support

The Star is one of the most iconic of the major trumps of the traditional tarot deck. It is also one of the most ambiguous. A woman is shown emptying two urns of water onto the parched ground. She is flanked by nascent plant life. Shining above her are those nocturnal luminaries whose "eternal silence" so frightened the philosopher Blaise Pascal at the dawn of modernity. Are the stars pointing the way to a brighter future, or are they stars of ill omen, warning us of what lies ahead? And what does that little bird in the background signify? In this episode, Phil and JF try to get to the bottom of the starry heavens, only to find out that starry heavens have no bottom.

J. R. R. Tolkien's "The Lord of the Rings" is one of the all-time great works of literature. While the story itself is an epic tale worthy of reading, the Catholic themes throughout it help us to gain new understandings of our faith. Joseph Pearce joins me for two episodes to discuss this great masterpiece and unpack many of the truths contained within it.

Episode 5: Eowyn might not be a man, but Pappy is all man, and he's hosting Episode 5 of our Return of the King podcast. ************* GROND! GROND! GROND! Frodo and Sam battle Shelob, and Denethor loses his mind. Rohan rides as the Battle of Pelennor Fields reaches a crescendo, and the Witch-King personally enters the fray. The trivia game is to guess if the clip is from the Streets or Tolkien. You get +1 for a correct answer and -1 for a wrong answer.

Lord of the Rings and the Chronicles of Narnia rank as many peoples' favorite epic tales. These fantasy classics have stirred the imaginations and inspired good action in millions of people around the world. As such powerful stories, they are evident examples of how stories play a role in our virtue formation. I'm glad to welcome Louis Markos back to the show to help us to understand the virtue-forming power of stories and how these books inspire such virtue through discussing his book On the Shoulders of Hobbits: The Road to Virtue in Tolkien and Lewis. Louis and I begin our discussion by talking about the shaping experiences of C. S. Lewis and J. R. R. Tolkien and why they are so influential today. He then explains why stories play such an important element in our lives. We finish off by examining the archetypes and classical virtues one can learn through the Lord of the Rings and Chronicles of Narnia. Louis Markos (Ph.D., University of Michigan) is a professor of English and scholar in residence at Houston Baptist University. He is the author of many books, including Myth Made Fact: Reading Greek and Roman Mythology through Christian Eyes, Ancient Voices: An Insider's Look at Classical Greece, From Achilles to Christ: Why Christians Should Read the Pagan Classics, Atheism on Trial: Refuting the Modern Arguments Against God, and Restoring Beauty: The Good, the True, and the Beautiful in the Writings of C.

In this episode, we take a look back at the epic JUSTICE LEAGUE MORTAL, the doomed JUSTICE LEAGUE film that was to be directed by MAD MAX: FURY ROAD and HAPPY FEET director George Miller. At one point, it was fully cast (including Armie Hammer as Batman/Bruce Wayne and rapper Common as Green Lantern/John Stewart), costumes were being designed by LORD OF THE RINGS' Weta Workshop, and large sets were even being built before everything came crashing down! Would it have been better than the Zack Snyder/Joss Whedon film that we ultimately got? Find out by clicking the video, and see for yourself!

Hollywood Heroes: How Your Favorite Movies Reveal God - https://amzn.to/3yo0OXb   Frank Turek is an award-winning author or coauthor of several books, including "I Don't Have Enough Faith to Be an Atheist" and his latest, "Hollywood Heroes". He hosts a weekly TV program  broadcast to 32 million homes and an apologetics podcast on over 180 stations. As founder and president of CrossExamined.org, Frank speaks over 100 times  per year, often to youth and college students. He has debated several prominent atheists, including Christopher Hitchens and Michael Shermer.   Seven fictional stories — Captain America, Iron Man, Harry Potter, Star Wars, The Lord of the Rings, Batman, and Wonder Woman — point us to the Ultimate Hero, Jesus Christ.   Think about it. What if Batman knew your name and wanted to be friends with you? What if you were the one Tony Stark died to save? What if it was you Luke Skywalker would stop at nothing to redeem? Hollywood Heroes will awaken you to these questions and help you see the God who stops at nothing to redeem you. And it will strengthen you to invite others into conversations of faith and life in Jesus.   Fictional stories about heroes help us realize that there is evil to fight, there are souls to be won, and there is growth to be achieved. These heroes help us recognize that regardless of religious or cultural beliefs, sacrificing your life for another is a powerful and beautiful display of love.   Fictional heroes help us to reconsider what is tangibly in front of us through the lens of story rather than just living through another day in our ordinary lives. Appealing  straight to the heart, the stories bypass artificial barriers that would normally block them because our worldview has been threatened.    When we examine out-of-this-world qualities like idealism, genius, a willingness to sacrifice, discipline,  loyalty, humility, courage, wisdom, focus, power, and love, we discover that Jesus practices them perfectly.   Connect with Dr. Turek & Cross Examined: Website - https://crossexamined.org/   YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/c/CrossExamined   Podcast - https://pod.link/1297439270   IG - https://www.instagram.com/drfrankturek/   --   Connect with Frank and The Super Human Life on Social Media: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/coachfrankrich/   Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/584284948647477/   Website: http://www.thesuperhumanlifepodcast.com/tshlhome   YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCjB4UrpxtNO2AFtDURMzoKQ

ROBSERVATIONS host, Robert Meyer Burnett, explains how storytelling works and the importance of setting - and sticking to - consistent rules that help define the world in which your story takes place. Rob reviews this article in Polygon ( https://thepgs.co/3KJG138), which celebrates modern Star Trek's abandonment of 50 years' worth of established structure in favor of putting the individual feelings of characters before the verisimilitude of the Star Fleet organization that serves as the main framing device for all Star Trek stories.By abandoning the very structure that defines 50 years' worth of stories, the writers of modern Star Trek are on the verge of breaking the backbone of the franchise itself.This short take is a segment from ROBSERVATIONS episode number 788, which streamed on February 12, 2022.

Andrew & Lindsey are back and are excited to be recapping Disney+'s The Quest (premieres May 11) To gear up for the season, A & L are sharing some thoughts on the WonderCon panel and their interviews with the creators and producers.In this episode, you will hear interviews with...Jane Fleming (Court Five | Lord of the Rings)Mark Ordesky (Court Five | Lord of the Rings)Elise Doganieri (The New Media Collective | Amazing Race)Michael Williams (Scout Production Inc | Queer Eye)Rob Eric (Scout Production Inc | Queer Eye)For thousands of years, Everealm has been a land of unrivaled beauty and powerful magic. Now, the realm is threatened by a powerful evil Sorceress. As a last hope, the noble Fates summon eight strangers known as Paladins from a world beyond to work together to fulfill an ancient prophecy and vanquish the Sorceress. The Paladins must unlock the hero within through a series of challenges that push their limits to restore balance to Everealm. If they fail, all will be lost. Heroes will rise. Kingdoms will fall. Brought to the screen by the Academy Award®- and Emmy®-winning teams behind “The Lord of the Rings,” “The Amazing Race” and “Queer Eye,” “The Quest” is a groundbreaking, immersive, hybrid competition series that drops eight real-life teenagers (Paladins) into the fantastic, fictional world of Everealm, where they must save a kingdom by fulfilling an ancient prophecy. Throughout the eight-episode series, these heroes are immersed in a fantasy world come to life, complete with a castle, royals, ethereal fates, all forms of mystical creatures and a sorceress intent on destruction and power. “The Quest” combines the best elements of scripted and unscripted content to create an immersive competition series where fantasy and reality collide as the teens compete in challenges in a fully-realized world of adventure. Each Paladin's mind, body, and soul will be put to the test with new surprises around every corner of the unknown land, changing not only the fate of Everealm, but also their own.This episode is sponsored by Athletic Greens!

We've got hopes as high as the budget. HOTD caps their budget at a humble $20 million per episode. Meanwhile, Bezos goes full tilt funneling $500 million into The Rings of Power. For comparison, Peter Jackson made the LOTR trilogy with an average of $94 million per movie, modest by today's high fantasy standards. Fans of fictitious languages, HOTD will have something to tickle your articulators. Will TROP and HOTD be friends, or fight on the streaming playground?

We are joined by a former white supremacist and now a devout Catholic man of letters, Joseph Pearce. We discuss his conversion to Catholicism from a life of hatred, G.K. Chesterton, and why men must read poetry. Joseph shares with us the intimate tie between poetry and prayer, he clarifies our thoughts on truth and beauty, and drives home how poetry identifies and assists in the completion of an authentic man. Please join us in this conversation. "True perception comes with virtue, specifically the virtue of humility, it is humility that gives us a sense of gratitude, it is gratitude that opens the eyes to wonder, and it is only when the eyes are open to wonder that we are moved to contemplation, and it is only when we are moved to contemplation that the mind is open to dilation, and it is dilation which is the full opening of the mind to reality." - Joseph Pearce on The Catholic Gentleman Joseph Pearce is a premier literary biographer and author of our time, especially in reviewing the depths of the Catholic literary tradition. He is the author of acclaimed biographies of G.K. Chesterton, Oscar Wilde, Hilaire Belloc, and J.R.R. Tolkien, and books on English poetry and literature. He has hosted two 13-part television series about Shakespeare on EWTN, and has also written and presented documentaries on EWTN on the Catholicism of The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit. His verse drama, Death Comes for the War Poets, was performed off-Broadway to critical acclaim.

An exciting new voice in espionage fiction joins the Crew as former naval intelligence officer M.P. Woodward sits down with the boys to discuss his acclaimed debut, THE HANDLER. NYT Bestselling author Mark Greaney calls it “a brilliant thriller… one you don't want to miss.”   A disgraced former CIA operative must go back in the field with only his ex-wife as his handler in this electrifying thriller from a former intelligence officer. Meredith Morris-Dale is a CIA case officer and a damn good one…even if this last mission did go terribly wrong. Now she has been summoned back to Langley where she expects to be fired. Instead, she is met by the Deputy Director with stunning news.  A single well-placed CIA mole in Iran's uranium enrichment program has kept the terrorist nation from building a bomb by sabotaging the performance of their covert centrifuge arrays. But after losing his daughter in an airliner shootdown, the mole wants out—leaving the world on the brink. His one demand: a reunion with the only handler he ever trusted, John Dale—Meredith's disgraced, fired, wayward ex-husband. As Meredith and John struggle through their fraught relationship, a craven CIA political hierarchy, Russian interference, and the rogue spy's manipulation, they must reach deep within their shared connection to maintain, recover, or kill the asset.     “A spectacular tale, brimming with intrigue, suspense, and richly-drawn characters. Fantastic storytelling.”  —Marc Cameron, New York Times bestselling author of Tom Clancy Chain of Command     M.P. Woodward is a former naval intelligence officer with the U.S. Pacific Command. In multiple deployments to the Persian Gulf and the Far East, he worked alongside U.S. Special Forces, CIA, and NSA. Woodward recently stepped down from heading international distribution marketing for Amazon Prime Video, having launched Amazon's original video content in more than forty countries. He developed the international distribution strategy for the upcoming serial adaptation of The Lord of the Rings.     Don't forget to subscribe to The Crew Reviews, hit the "LIKE" button, and leave a comment.
