Every creature in Arda has a story. The panel examines Middle-earth's animals — Huan, the Eagles, Ungoliant's brood, Beorn, the Nazgûl's horses — and asks what separates the natural from the supernatural in Tolkien's world. The post Animals of Middle Earth appeared first on StarQuest Media.
Saruman has no time for the simples of peasants; Alan and Matt wouldn't mind if things were simpler. Join The Man of the West and The Nerd of the Rings as we get an in-depth look at Saruman's continuing jealousy of Gandalf as we conclude our four-episode study of The Hunt for the Ring from Unfinished Tales. Saruman knows it's a long day living in Isengard, Gandalf gives reasons why smoking is actually good, and Radagast gets stuck in the middle. We alliterate with Sean Connery, wonder where the non-smoking section is in Rivendell, and decide we clearly cannot choose the hobbit in front of you. Also, the Nazgûl's wet socks.

Gollum was peculiarly fitted to survive in Moria, though at cost of great misery; Matt is also able to survive his time on the PPP with the same cost. Join The Man of the West and The Nerd of the Rings as we get a closer look at Saruman's unenviable position in our third episode of four on The Hunt for the Ring from Unfinished Tales. Gollum doesn't know how to open a door, Saruman discovers there ain't no easy way out, and the Nazgûl make a new friend on the road north. We conclude that Númenor messed up Middle-earth timezones but agree they're still smart enough not to bother with Daylight Saving Time, agree with Bret Devereaux's conclusion that “Saruman is a dummy-wummy whose plans fail because they are bad”, and observe that we might be the only two people in the Venn diagram of sports fans and Tolkien fans. Also: Matt gets the munchies. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
Christopher Tolkien tells us that the manuscripts for this story are “in great, though hardly exceptional, confusion” — so it seems this podcast is in good company. Join The Man of the West and The Nerd of the Rings as we begin to sort through the various versions of the story of The Hunt for the Ring as our four-part look at the chapter continues. The Nazgûl, it seems, have an unexpected weakness; Sauron decides speed is more important than secrecy, but it's already late in the game; and Gollum successfully hides in Moria after a failed jailbreak-slash-murder attempt. We talk about shooting nerds in a barrel, speculate about Sauron's pro-con list, and examine the couch cushions of the Anduin. Also, you got lucky, babe, when you found us.

Christian Right Baal worshiping imperial agent Paul Weyrich said in 1980 “I don't want everybody to vote. As a matter of fact, our leverage in the elections quite candidly goes up as the voting populace goes down.” American full Nazgûl, otherwise called Republicans, (with to be fair - corporate Dems are half Nazgûl), have long known that their policies literally protect pedophiles and if truly communicated, are incredibly unpopular. So the only way they win elections is via their propaganda media networks, the electoral college, redistricting, electoral trickery, and almost most predominantly, voter suppression. The latter which they've been doing to African Americans for over 60 years and that's just since the passage of the voting rights act which the Opus Dei Supreme court of dark sorcery have been trying to chip away at. So let us begin by rescuing the phrase “voter fraud” from the swamp into which it has been deliberately dragged by criminal Trumpstein and this democracy hating crew. In any serious, legally literate discussion, one is not talking about the occasional miscast ballot, clerical error, or the lonely, almost always Republican voter who attempts to vote twice and is caught. One is talking about outcome-determinative fraud—that is, fraud on a scale sufficient to alter the result of an election.These insight sub-episodes are mirrored on our primary YouTube channel which can be found at https://www.youtube.com/@NilesHeckman/videos
Nazgûl, grimmigheid, transdimensionale monsters, epische oorlogen, escapisme: zowel fantasy als metal gaat er heerlijk op. Fantasyschrijver Sander Klijn legt in woord en muziek uit waarom deze culturen voor elkaar gemaakt lijken te zijn - alhoewel het huwelijk wat ongelijk uitpakt. Wij zijn vandaag bijeengekomen om getuige te zijn van het voorgenomen huwelijk van metal en fantasy. Metal en fantasy kennen elkaar al decennia, lonken ook al sinds hun geboorte naar elkaar, maar tot een formele verbintenis kwam het nog niet eerder. We zijn daarom verheugd dat in deze editie van Dood & Verderf de twee eindelijk de grote stap zetten. Onze Buitengewoon Ambtenaar van de Escapistische Stand heet Sander Klijn. Als schrijver van het fantasyboek Demonen én metalhead kan Sander vol overtuiging vertellen wie metal en fantasy precies in relatie tot elkaar zijn, waarom ze zo goed bij elkaar passen, welke opmerkelijke overeenkomsten ze vertonen, maar ook op welke valkuilen er voor hen op de loer liggen. De romantische muziek wordt tijdens deze huwelijksceremonie verzorgd door fantastische bands als Rotting Christ, Amon Amarth en The Great Old Ones. Sander zal daarbij elke compositie vakkundig becommentariëren, zodat we over een uur tijd niets anders kunnen concluderen dan dat metal & fantasy voor elkaar gemaakt zijn.

Maarten vertelt dat de plaat wederom wat melodischer klinkt dan het voorgaande werk. Maar, zegt hij ook: “Met daarop weer wat échte oorwurmen, zoals deze luistertip voor Sander.

Welcome to a special Holiday Interlude of the Seers See Podcast: Seers See the Lord of the Rings.In this mini-season, Doug explores how J.R.R. Tolkien's world can retrain us to think supernaturally—helping modern readers recover the enchanted, pre-materialistic imagination that both Tolkien and Scripture assume.Episode 1 lays out the purpose of the series:- Why Tolkien helps us reawaken a supernatural worldview- How The Lord of the Rings subtly reveals unseen spiritual forces- Why Dr. Cory Olsen (The Tolkien Professor) inspired this approach- How this mini-season bridges into Season 2: Seers of the Bible with Emily in 2026If you've ever wanted to see the spiritual dimension within Tolkien's world—and recognize similar patterns in our own—this episode is your invitation to step through the door and into the unseen realm of Middle-earth.In this opening episode of our Holiday Interlude, Doug explains why Tolkien is the perfect guide for anyone seeking to understand the supernatural world. Tolkien writes with a medieval imagination—a worldview where spiritual beings, providence, enchantment, corruption, and hidden powers operate behind the visible world.Drawing on insights from Dr. Cory Olsen, “The Tolkien Professor,” Doug shows how The Lord of the Rings trains modern readers to notice the spiritual activity Tolkien shows but never over-explains.This approach mirrors how Scripture invites us to recognize unseen forces shaping events, identity, and calling.This episode sets the stage for the mini-season, which will explore:- The Ring Poem (Episode 2)- The Prologue as ancient historiography (Episode 3)- Gandalf's spiritual authority, providence, and the Nazgûl (Episode 4)- Tom Bombadil, nature spirits, singing as spiritual warfare, Caradhras, and moreJoin us as we rediscover the supernatural imagination Tolkien intended—and learn to see the world around us with new eyes.
I det här avsnittet av Efterspelet följer vi med Brödraskapet på deras farliga resa i The Lord of the Rings: Fate of the Fellowship, det senaste spelet i Pandemic-serien. Den här gången är det inte sjukdomar som hotar världen, utan mörkrets krafter som jagar Frodo och ringen genom hela Midgård.Varje spelare tar kontroll över flera hjältar och måste balansera mellan att skydda Brödraskapet, hålla Nazgûlerna på avstånd och stå emot Saurons vaksamma öga. Nya mål och händelser gör att varje parti känns annorlunda, och precis som i berättelsen är spänningen hela tiden närvarande: kommer hoppet att hålla, eller faller allt i mörker?Jens, Kalle och Åsa pratar om hur temat vävs ihop med stommen från Pandemic, vilka ögonblick som fick oss att jubla (eller svettas) och om spelet lyckas leva upp till både arvet från Tolkien och från Pandemic. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
What do Tolkien's ghosts reveal about sin, redemption, and the afterlife? Jeff Haecker, Thomas Salerno, Patrick Mason & Rob Leonardi uncover the undead of Middle-earth—from barrow-wights to Nazgûl—and their spiritual meaning The post Ghosts and Undead of Middle Earth appeared first on StarQuest Media.
I det här avsnittet av Efterspelet ger sig Jens och Kalle ut på en resa rakt in i Midgårds hjärta när vi spelar The Lord of the Rings: Duel for Middle-earth, det nya tvåspelar spelet som bygger vidare på klassikern 7 Wonders Duel.Här står mycket på spel: spelar du som Sauron som med hjälp av Nazgûlerna jagar Frodo och Sam för att ta tillbaka ringen? Eller som Ringens Brödraskap, som kämpar för att föra ringen hela vägen till Domedagsberget? Tre olika sätt att ta hem vinsten öppnar för ständiga taktiska val, och varje kort du tar kan vara skillnaden mellan triumf och förintelse.Vi pratar om hur spelet lyckas (eller misslyckas) med att fånga den episka känslan i Tolkiens värld, hur det står sig mot 7 Wonders Duel och vad vi själva tyckte om kampen om Midgård. Häng med för färska intryck, oväntade vändningar och svaret på om detta spel är värt din tid! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Hark, Void! Middle-Earth's 007, Gamgee, Samwise Gamgee, saves the world from ring-obsessed Gollum while Frodo staggers into danger constantly. Literally, Elrond will only let Arwen marry Aragorn AFTER he's defeated ultimate evil in the world. Now THAT'S a father-in-law. ORCS HAVE NAMES TOO!! And feelings! No one hates orcs more than other orcs! Aragorn runs like a Muppet, Gandalf acts like a dad on a road trip, wraith tractor-beams, Jennifer Coolidge has thoughts on Minas Morgul, and Osgiliath is such a pleasant word to say. But really, this movie is about the Rohirrim and Theoden's epic speech. But also, they should just have armies of women to fight the Nazgûl. DEEEAAAAATTHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!(Cue tears)

Link to charity fundraiser and socials: https://linktr.ee/lotradhome This week we take a look at the Lord of the Nazgûl and his very long history. This guy is like 4000 years old, and we only see him for a short time in Lord of the Rings. Criminal. Let's look at why he was the chief of Sauron's servants.
Ever wondered about the untold epilogues of your favorite "Lord of the Rings" characters? Join us as we venture through the fates of heroes like Frodo, who finds peace in Valinor, and Aragorn, whose reign is marked by prosperity. We're not just stopping at the end of the third age; our episode traverses the enduring bond between Legolas and Gimli, the noble roles Merry and Pippin embrace in the Shire, and of course, the beauty and tragedy of Aragorn and Arwen's tale. It's a celebration of the paths walked by Tolkien's beloved characters after the fall of Sauron, and an invitation to those enchanted by the lore of Middle-earth.Are you ready to put your Middle-earth knowledge to the test? Our co-host Tom steps up to the plate in a thrilling trivia quiz that spans the intricate details of J.R.R. Tolkien's universe. As he tackles questions about the White Tree of Gondor and the steeds of the Nazgûl, you'll be reminded of the profound mythology that has captured the hearts of fans worldwide. Meanwhile, we switch lanes and dive into the immersive experiences of the latest PS5 exclusives, dissecting a top-tier horror title and the creature-collecting craze of "Palworld."

Mount Doom threatens to burn the land and boil the sea; Matt threatens more “where there's a whip” references. Join us as we're joined by Tom Hillman to talk about his book Pity, Power, and Tolkien's Ring just in time for said ring to be destroyed in our final episode on the chapter Mount Doom. Sam finally feels pity for Gollum, the Phial of Galadriel's batteries die, and Frodo thinks he has a better idea for the Ring after all. We discuss the many alternate endings that Tolkien envisioned here, speculate about how quickly the Nazgûl could arrive, and confirm that Santa Claus is Eärendil. Also, Matt coins a new word which is really just an old word.
Embark on a profound exploration of Middle-earth as Tom and I, sans our third musketeer Hayden, immerse you in the mystical world of "The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring." Revel in the rich tapestry woven by J.R.R. Tolkien, from the eerie transformation of men into the Nazgûl to Frodo's perilous journey with the One Ring. Our discussion spans the ancient origins of Gandalf the Grey to the thunderous battle between Gandalf and the Balrog, inviting you to uncover the layers of complexity within Tolkien's universe.Feel the palpable tension as we scrutinize the strategic formation of the Fellowship, the weight of secrecy, and their daunting mission to thwart Sauron. We consider the mystical might of elves, the dwarves' storied past, and the legendary figures that loom large in Tolkien's epic saga. The poignant last stand of Boromir and the Fellowship's heart-wrenching decision to part ways are recounted with fervent detail, setting the stage for the ensuing chapters of the trilogy.As our journey through Middle-earth concludes for the moment, Tom and I confront the contentious notion of a "Lord of the Rings" film series reboot. We share candid thoughts on the cinematic legacy of the original trilogy, the artistry of sword master Bob Anderson, and the delicate balance of honoring a masterpiece while entertaining the prospect of reimagination. We may not have mystical rings or elvish cloaks, but we've certainly woven an episode brimming with passion for one of the greatest fantasy tales ever told.Support the show
Back with another BIG "what if" question, Nick Polk invites return guest, Tripp Fuller, to help answer "What if a Nazgul were redeemed by Iluvatar?" We discuss the Lord of the Rings, Rings of Power, and the Silmarillion, as we wrestle with the idea of redemption in Arda! We explore the nature of the Nazgul and their history, as well as examples of redemption throughout the story of Middle Earth!.Is Ilúvatar a God? Did Ilúvatar create humans? Who are the nine Nazgûl? Why is Isildur a Nazgûl? Who is the strongest Nazgûl? How is Aragorn related to Isildur? Why are orcs hated in Lord of the Rings? Why did Smeagol turn into Gollum? Is Gollum good or bad? What is an example of redemption? What is the redemption in The Lord of the Rings? What if Gollum was redeemed? What did Waldreg do? Who is the owner of the tavern in The Rings of Power? Why did Adar want the sword? Will Waldreg become a Ring Wraith? Who were the 9 Ringwraiths? Did Waldreg create Mordor? Will Waldreg find redemption? Who is Geoff Morrell? Can Satan be saved?

Frodo and Sam get out of the predicament in the Tower only to have to head further into Mordor, as Alan and Matt get out of their QAN predicament only to have to… well, do this. Join us as Sam exaggerates the lengths of thorns while we begin our four-part walk through The Land of Shadow. Nazgûl cries just don't hold the same terror anymore, Shagrat is not delivering water despite Sam's professed interest, and we spend way too much time talking about the wind. Also, we laugh at the Rankin-Bass RotK Witch-king.

Denthor submits his application for Father of the Year, making Alan and Matt feel great about their parenting skills in the process. Join us as we celebrate the seventh anniversary of The Prancing Pony Podcast, and Matt's first digression as co-host, as we continue The Siege of Gondor! Faramir speaks of Frodo's peril, Gandalf freaks out a little bit, and we learn that Denethor wasn't always this way. Alan interviews the Nerd of the Rings - conveniently, since he's already here - and we don't talk about Nazgûl no, no.
Sam desperately tries to get through the blocked passage while the Orc captains — oblivious that their eaves are being dropped — continue complaining about their bosses (side note: we're seriously creeped out by the fact that the Nazgûl actually give Orc officers the creeps). But when one of the captains reveals some new information, Sam suddenly realizes that getting to Frodo is more urgent than he thought. All this, plus Orc dialogue delivered with increasingly sore throats, a long sidebar on the moral code of Orcs, and an excerpt from our recent interview on the Rings of Power Wrap-up podcast with dialect coach Leith McPherson.
Today Chase & Josh close out The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers in its entirety as we compare the second half of the Extended Edition film, to its corresponding sections of the novel. Keep in mind the sequences do not line up as the perspectives shift focus so there are moments that happen early in the novel, that do not occur until later in the film and vice-versa! Tag along as we discuss some of the notable differences found between the movie and the book such as; the Isengard wolves ambush of Rohan, the budding love triangle of Arwen, Éowyn and Aragorn, the portrayal of Faramir's character, who Gandalf brings on the first light of the 5th day to save Rohan at Helms Deep, and Frodo coming face to face with the Nazgûl. With the Riddikulus Crew discussing the main notable differences that stood out to each individually, providing a numeric grade in regards to Part 2 of the film as well as a numeric grade for matching moments of the novel, giving an overall score for the Two Towers as a whole and comparing an epic battle scene with another franchise, this is one you don't want to miss. "But fear no more! I would not take this thing, if it lay by the highway. Not were Minas Tirith falling in ruin and I alone could save her, so, using the weapon of the Dark Lord for her good and my glory. No, I do not wish for such triumphs, Frodo son of Drogo." - Faramir
