"A Classic Text on the Japanese Way of the Sword"
This episode was originally released on March 16, 2020 Craig, Ryan, and Megan (no Kyle today) talk about book 3 of The Lord of the Rings, being the first half of The Two Towers.They take on the entrelacement writing technique Tolkien employs, Aragorn's character arc (yep, he has one!), and the nature of the palantiri. Craig is of course back with his recap poem, but Megan decides to one up him by singing on this episode. Trigger warning.

This episode was originally released on March 1, 2020 Craig, Ryan, Megan, and Kyle discuss the second book in The Lord of the Rings--or to put it another way, the second half of The Fellowship of the Ring. They get into lots of listener questions, like whether the Rivendell chapters are too long, whether balrogs should have wings, whether the fellowship sufficiently mourns Gandalf, and much, much more.

In this Book Nook mini series we dive into the great fantasy series by J.R.R. Tolkien. We are tackling it book by book so each episode will cover half a paperback volume. Journey with us through one of the greatest works of Christian imagination in a century that is all the more relevant today. Book One covers Hobbiton to Rivendell and the guys focus on the themes of Simplicity, Home, Temptation, and Hospitality. What does Tolkien teach us with the hobbits? What does the Ring teach us about evil? Join us for the conversation.
This episode was originally released February 9, 2020. The other episodes in this series are #268, #270, #274, #277, and #281. The time has come! Six years ago Craig and Ryan kicked off the Legendarium podcast with a read-through of the Lord of the Rings. Now they're back, and they've got Kyle and Megan in tow as well. In this episode they discuss a bit about the hobbits, the pacing, the poetry and the reasons for Gandalf's 17-year absence. If you're hoping to get your fix of Professor Craig, stick around, because that mostly happens toward the end. A note: If you're looking for an in-depth discussion of the minutiae of this book, look elsewhere! But you can enjoy a discussion amongst friends loosely based around the first book of The Lord of the Rings.

Peter Jackson's take on the confrontation of Gandalf on the one hand and Theoden and Grima Wormtonge on the other drastically changes the nature of what is going on in the scene. Some of that is somewhat dictated by the medium of cinema, but some of it is...not.

Last week (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nXinRWIi1yw&pp=ygUzbG9yZCBvZiB0aGUgcmluZ3MgYm9vayB2IG1vdmllIGdhbmRhbCBkaXNhcHBlYXJhbmNl) I discussed how the changes to how we experience Gandalf's disappearance and captivity in Peter Jackson's Fellowship of the Ring make sense given the limitations of the medium. A viewer commented that the case was rather the opposite with the Paths of the Dead and Aragorn's appearance in the Corsair ships, so in this video I explore what makes these two examples different.

Normally my book versus movie videos are about the changes in the actual substance of the story being told, but in this case I want to look at HOW the story is told differently because it shows us how adaptation does actually require changes to a story so it better fits the new medium.

Hello and welcome to the NotACast, the one true chapter-by-chapter podcast going through A Song of Ice and Fire...but not this episode! Since we're taking a month off from our Lord of the Rings coverage for patrons, this week we're making our latest LOTR episode available for everyone. In this episode, Emmett breaks down the climax of the story, in which Frodo, Sam, and Gollum struggle over the One Ring on the literal precipice of doom. If you like what you hear, there are dozens of LOTR episodes available for our $5+ patrons over on our Patreon! Next time: ASOS Samwell III, in which Sam and Gilly reach the village of Whitetree...or is it? No, probably not. Sam just can't catch a break.

The contrast between book Theoden and movie Theoden could hardly be more striking. Some of that is related to some plot changes introduced in the movie, but those don't justify movie Theoden's whiny attitude and complete lack of sense.

Here's our episode on Book 5, Chapter 6, "The Battle of the Pelennor Fields," in which Theoden's heroic charge is brought up short by the Witch-King, only for the latter to be defeated by two overlooked heroes: Eowyn and Merry.

Manu is joining us as the new co-host, and we'll be returning to ASOIAF with Sansa's third chapter in A Storm of Swords, released for patrons starting 8/18 and for everyone on 8/22.

Where Peter Jackson gave us a fairly flashy and bombastic scene with fist fights and exorcism, Tolkien weaves a much more subtle web of fear, hope, and drama. Also, Tolkien uses no magic in his version! This sort of follows my previous videos on tech vs. magic (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O44qroaf0Nw) and magic vs. art (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=12MZ58_tmjg) in Middle-earth.

Book IV of The Lord of the Rings follows Frodo and Sam as they slowly journey towards the Land of Mordor. After leaving the Fellowship behind, they become lost as they wander through the wilderness. Gollum has been pursuing them at length, and finally comes to them as they wander. Rather than hiding or attacking, they take him in as their guide. Gollum guides them eagerly through the Dead Marshes and to the Black Gate, however they soon realize they will need to enter Mordor through a different path. Gollum tells them of a different, secret path which will lead them through a tunnel…
Before Sam can declare "I'm back" at the end of Book VI, Frodo must destroy the ring and Aragorn must be enthroned. But nailing down the climax of The Return of the King proved challenging for J.R.R. Tolkien. How do you destroy the ring and resolve such an epic adventure that took eleven years to compose? In the sixth and final installment of the Into The Lord of the Rings series, Drs. Crystal and David C. Downing, along with Producer Aaron M. Hill, discuss the many partings of The Nine Walkers and various ways in which hope, in the end, returns to our hero and the beauty of Middle-earth prevails against Sauron's forsaken land.

In the opening of Book IV of The Return of the King, Beregond gazes out over Pellenor, realizing that soon, "all realms shall be put to the test, to stand, or fall—under the Shadow." In this fifth installment of our series on The Lord of the Rings by J.R.R. Tolkien, Drs. Crystal and David C. Downing, along with Producer Aaron M. Hill, explore how each of Tolkien's characters respond to this great test. Will Théoden, Éomer, Éowyn, Denethor, Aragorn, Faramir, Pippin, and Merry be pulled down by the "ever-deepening gloom," will they use others as pawns to accomplish their ends, or will they ride gloriously into battle to face fate with humility and grace?
In a 1944 letter to his son, J.R.R. Tolkien shared his surprise at the sudden entrance of Faramir: "I am sure I did not invent him, I did not even want him, though I like him, but there he came walking into the woods of Ithilien." In part four of the Wade Center Podcast's series on The Lord of the Rings, Drs. Crystal and David C. Downing, along with Producer Aaron M. Hill, uncover numerous allusions, motifs, and deeper meanings as they retrace the lonely and tragic steps of two little hobbits, Frodo and Samwise Gamgee, and their slippery guide, Gollum (or Smeagol) in The Two Towers.
Book Three of The Lord of the Rings brings about many changes for the members of the now-broken Fellowship. A lot of this book feels like atonement for past mistakes -- for Boromir, he has paid with his life; for Aragorn, he seems desperate to discern the correct path forward; for Theoden, he has finally been freed from Grima's influence; for Saruman, the Ents have brought about his well-deserved destruction. And Gandalf has returned against all hope!
In the first half of The Two Towers by J.R.R. Tolkien the Company of the Ring scrambles to interpret strange signs as legends, such as the Ents, stride "on the green earth in the daylight." In part three of our series on The Lord of the Rings, Drs. Crystal and David C. Downing unpack the allusions, symbolism, deeper meaning, and significance found in Book III, as well as the story behind new characters such as Treebeard, Grima Wormtongue, Eowyn, Theoden, Eomer, Quickbeam, and Gandalf the White.
In this second installment of the Wade Center Podcast's six-part series on The Lord of the Rings," Drs. Crystal and David C. Downing, along with Producer Aaron M. Hill, dare to delve too deep into the darkening world that is Book II. Follow along as Crystal, Aaron, and David deem the doom of Sauron's ring and discuss the themes, character development, and consequential chapters of the latter half of J.R.R. Tolkien's epic fantasy, The Fellowship of the Ring.
You're listening to Tea with Tolkien, a Podcast for the Hobbit at Heart.Join us as we chat about the works and faith of J.R.R. Tolkien, and strive to carry a little piece of Middle-Earth into our own daily lives.This is the second in a seven-part book club series on The Lord of the Rings. These episodes will be released on the first of each month from now through March to accompany our Book Club as we're reading The Lord of the Rings! If you'd like to join our book club, you can visit www.teawithtolkien.com/book-club.Book Two Recap: Major Themes You Do Not Have to Go Alone: In this book, we see the formation and departure of the Fellowship of the Ring. Finally, the quest has fully begun. While Frodo is willing to take the burden of the Ring onto himself, he acknowledges that he doesn't even know where to begin in terms of getting it to Mordor. And Elrond understands that he cannot go alone. However, he doesn't send him forth with a host of great warriors -- rather he sends him in a small group meant to represent all the peoples of Middle-Earth, a group formed largely around friendship! So we see the theme of Fellowship carrying through into Book II. The life-saving, life-giving virtue of friendship. Rivendell & Lothlorien: In this book we are introduced to two of the great homes of Elvendom in Middle-Earth, Rivendell and Lothlorien. Within the bounds of these two realms, the world feels different entirely. It has been preserved and protected by the power of the Elves, and serves as a refuge for those who visit. Heroic Leadership Requires Sacrifice: Looking at Gandalf and Aragorn specifically, we see in this book the way that great leadership requires sacrifice. In Gandalf's case, he was willing to give up his own life to protect the Fellowship from the Balrog. In Aragorn's case, we see that he is willing to deny his own desires -- both to stay in Rivendell and to go straight to Gondor -- for what he realizes are the greater good of the Fellowship. The Protection of Elbereth: Despite being referenced several times by hobbits and elves even in these first two books, the character of Elbereth remains relatively unexplained throughout The Lord of the Rings. However, with a little help from The Silmarillion, we can begin to understand her more clearly. Elbereth Gilthoniel is the Sindarin name for Varda, one of the Ainur and Queen of the Valar. As the creator of the stars and most beloved by the Elves, the name of Elbereth is invoked in times of distress, darkness, and great need. Her beauty is beyond measure or description, and she is feared and hated most by Melkor. In Three is Company, Gildor says to Frodo, “May Elbereth protect you!”; in A Knife in the Dark, Frodo cries out, “O Elbereth! Gilthoniel!” as he is stabbed by the Morgul blade. And as we journey deeper into the story of The Lord of the Rings, her name will be invoked many more times—keep an eye out for it. I'll see you over on our Discord chat for Book II! I hope this episode was helpful and will spark some good discussion. If you aren't a part of our discord server yet, you can join by signing up for our Book Club with your email address at www.teawithtolkien.com/book-club. I'll be back on November 1st to begin our discussion of Book III, which is the first half of The Two Towers. Discord Chat Discussion Prompts:Keep in mind these are just meant to spark discussion and you don't have to answer every one of these! Thoughts on The Council of Elrond: Did you learn anything new? How has reading the Council of Elrond in light of the Silmarillion changed your perspective (if this isn't your first time reading it)? Discuss Saruman's plans as recounted in the Council of Elrond. Do you think he is lying to Gandalf, or do you think he truly believes that he can still achieve his original purpose in the end? Do Balrogs have wings? The Elves as “Perilous and Fair”? Discuss the different approaches towards Galadriel from the different members of the Fellowship as they enter into Lothlorien, especially that of Gimli and Boromir. How has Gimli's heart softened towards the Elves? At what point did this change occur, and how is its timing significant? How does Galadriel's gift to Gimli mark the beginning of a renewed friendship between Dwarves and Elves? Of all of Galadriel's gifts, which stood out to you as the most interesting or meaningful? How did each gift correspond to its recipient, equipping them according to their needs? Have you noticed any other characters in The Lord of the Rings thus far that remind you of Mary? If so, who and why? Thoughts on Boromir: Do you feel sympathetic towards him? Do you find him relatable?
After finishing the second half of The Two Towers by J.R.R. Tolkien we have a discussion about Frodo, Sam, Smeagol and the Oliphaunts! We go over how to live like a Hobbit and how to deal with the stinkers and slinkers out there.

Sauron's Ring acts very differently in Peter Jackson's movie trilogy than it does in the original novel, and those differences have pretty significant implications for the plot….

The Wade Center Podcast's six-part, in-depth exploration of The Lord of the Rings has arrived precisely when it was meant to—just in time for Tolkien Week and Hobbit Day! In this first installment, Drs. Crystal and David C. Downing, along with Producer Aaron M. Hill, discuss many of the major themes, characters, and opening chapters of J.R.R. Tolkien's epic fantasy novel about Frodo, Gandalf, Aragorn, and the Company on Nine's legendary quest through Middle-earth to destroy the Ring of Power.
The events at Bree are pivotal to a lot of the story in Lord of the Rings, but because Peter Jackson's movies truncated so much of the Fellowship, a lot of Tolkien's version got left out. In this video I go over some of the major differences between the book and the movie. Here's the video I did on how Tolkien retconned the Hobbit: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eIbXfJ72j4c
