The battle for Middle-earth rages on as Philosophy in Film journeys into The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers. This episode delves into the shifting alliances, moral dilemmas, and heroic struggles that define the second chapter of Peter Jackson's legendary trilogy. Craig sounds the Horn of Helm's Deep with Producer's Notes (9:02), while Alain embarks on a perilous march through Synopsis Pass (19:35), charting the intertwined fates of Frodo, Aragorn, and the fractured Fellowship. Chris then lights the way in Philosopher's Corner (42:38), exploring Sam's rally of resilience, perseverance, and the fight for a better world. The Round Table (50:34) charges headfirst into the film's depiction of war, corruption, and perseverance, before Reviews (1:48:24) and #Mailbag (1:58:28) bring messages from the realm of listeners. As always, we discuss the philosophical and non-philosophical aspects of the movie—because when all hope seems lost, sometimes the smallest light can guide the way.

Grab your ring of power and join us on a quest through 2/3rds of 2/3rds of J.R.R. Tolkien's epic trilogy, rendered in eye-popping 70's animation! The Bung Boiz are back to review another classic piece of cinema, this time it's the cartoon “The Lord of the Rings,” complete with the weirdest character designs and worst voice acting you can imagine. Gandalf goes to outer space. All the Hobbits are chainsmokers. Bill the donkey gets ripped to shreds. It's an age of terrifying rotoscope and queer Gollums. An era of colorful wizards and Samwise with a possible learning disability. Will the Boiz make it to Mount Doom before they run out of time (in their episode)? Tune in because it all happens LIVE!
This week on Comics and Chronic, we finish out our coverage of The Lord of the Rings Trilogy with The Return Of The King directed by Peter Jackson. The boys recorded this episode one day before Trump takes his office. The boys gain another moniker. Is Return Of The King better on a rewatch? Is it the least favorite of all three movies? What are the differences between the ending of the movie and the end of the books? There are moments in this movie where the CGI doesn't hold up. Anthony doesn't put respect on Viggo Mortensen's name. Luigi Mangione is our Aragorn. Frodo loses our respect when he makes Samwise cry. Jake & Cody are Sméagol and Deagol. Is this movie really Pippin's movie? Is he responsible for Gandalf becoming OP? Almost every character including villains be getting high! Is there an orc in the movie that's supposed to look like Harvey Weinstein? Anthony gives us his connection to Regis Philbin. Is Back To The Future considered one of the best trilogies? What are the best comedy trilogies? The hype for Daredevil Reborn is strong. Cody hates the MCU so much he goes back & rewatches films to give them a lower score? Go listen now!

Embark on an epic journey with the gang as we delve into Peter Jackson's cinematic masterpiece, The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring. With the fate of Middle-earth resting on a perilous quest, the crew unites to explore the deep lore, unforgettable characters, and weighty themes that set this legendary saga in motion. Taking his farthest step outside the Shire, Craig sets us on the path with Producer's Notes (7:16), Alain braves the mines of the Beauclair Synopsis (23:26), and Chris embarks on a quest to unravel the secrets in the Philosopher's Corner (57:36).

In this week's episode of Unqualified Observers, Kelham and Thomas, sit down to discuss the original Lord of the Rings film from the 1970's. Does squeezing Fellowship and Two Towers into one film lessen the story, does the animation and rotoscoping hold up, does Gandalf hate Samwise more than the Dark Lord? These are just some of the important questions discussed in this fun conversation about Middle-Earth, the 70's, and how many belts a human is allowed to wear at once. Come join in the conversation and find out what we thought of this "classic?" film.

Chapter 9 - At the Sign of the Prancing PonyThe man stared after the hobbits for a moment, and then he went back to his house. As soon as his back was turned, a dark figure climbed quickly in over the gate and melted into the shadows of the village street.Q1 - What is this? ‘Mind yourself! Don't get lost, and don't forget that it is safer indoors!'Q2 - Are you shocked that Merry and Pippen were the two who stayed behind?Suddenly Frodo noticed that a strange-looking weatherbeaten man, sitting in the shadows near the wall, was also listening intently to the hobbit-talk. He had a tall tankard in front of him, and was smoking a long-stemmed pipe curiously carved. His legs were stretched out before him, showing high boots of supple leather that fitted him well, but had seen much wear and were now caked with mud. A travel-stained cloak of heavy dark-green cloth was drawn close about him, and in spite of the heat of the room he wore a hood that overshadowed his face; but the gleam of his eyes could be seen as he watched the hobbits. He felt the Ring on its chain, and quite unaccountably the desire came over him to slip it on and vanish out of the silly situation. It seemed to him, somehow, as if the suggestion came to him from outside, from someone or something in the room. He resisted the temptation firmly, and clasped the Ring in his hand, as if to keep a hold on it and prevent it from escaping or doing any mischief.Q3 - What is happening with Frodo here?‘Certainly!' said Frodo; but his heart sank. He wondered how many private talks he would have before he got to bed, and what they would reveal. Were these people all in league against him? He began to suspect even old Butterbur's fat face of concealing dark designs.Q4 - Is this Frodo, or the Ring?Chapter 10 - StriderWell, you know your own business, maybe,' said Mr. Butterbur, looking suspiciously at Strider. ‘But if I was in your plight, I wouldn't take up with a Ranger.' ‘Then who would you take up with?' asked Strider. ‘A fat innkeeper who only remembers his own name because people shout it at him all day?Q1 - What do you think of book Strider?All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost; The old that is strong does not wither, Deep roots are not reached by the frost. From the ashes a fire shall be woken, A light from the shadows shall spring; Renewed shall be blade that was broken, The crownless again shall be king.Q2 - Amazing way to end a letter. Chapter 11 - A Knife in the DarkThere was a faint stir in the leaves, and a cock crowed far away. The cold hour before dawn was passing. The figure by the door moved. In the dark without moon or stars a drawn blade gleamed, as if a chill light had been unsheathed. There was a blow, soft but heavy, and the door shuddered. ‘Open, in the name of Mordor!' said a voice thin and menacing.Q1 - Fatty Bolger is a brave hobbit!Q2 - How terrifying is this?Q3 - What do you think of Sam reciting that poem?Q4 - What do you think of the Beren and Tunivial story?Chapter 12 - Flight to the FordQ1 - What is happening to Frodo being stabbed?Q2 - Do you like the amount of songs in the book?Q3 - What do you think of Glorfindel?
Jon, Danny, Jenn, and Lizzy embark on a journey, much like young master Frodo and the Fellowship. In this episode, they talk about the things they know about Lord of the Rings and what they expect from the series as they begin to read.

Church on the Rockers, What do Peter, Rocky, Elle, Rudy, Jamal, Forrest, and Samwise all have in common? They are the underdogs of the story. (Bonus points if you can name the movie they're in) They are the unlikely characters who come out on top at the end of the story line. The below average men and women of the story who are seen as unintelligent, unskilled, and unable to do great things. This weekend we're going to hear the story of Philip, one of the Helenist complainers elected to service, filled with the Holy Spirit, and SENT by God to build His Kingdom. What we're going to see in the story is not the will power and effort for human success, but the power of God at work in the lives of those who repent, submit, and give their lives to a Wonder Working, Miraculous Savior who was also the underdog and came out on top! Pastor Matt McCarter
In this episode, I explore the connections between love, virtue, and emotional experiences. I discuss whether true love can extend to pets, arguing that moral virtue is essential. I analyze the literary trope of orphans, showing how it allows authors to address resilience and redemption without familial complexities.I also tackle unequal friendships, emphasizing the need to recognize and address exploitative dynamics for healthier relationships. Sharing insights from my entrepreneurial journey, I stress the importance of family support during transitions. In romantic contexts, I highlight red flags in potential partners and the value of personal growth and mutual respect. I conclude with reflections on loyalty, inspired by Samwise from "The Lord of the Rings," encouraging listeners to pursue genuine connections based on shared commitment and emotional health.GET MY NEW BOOK 'PEACEFUL PARENTING', THE INTERACTIVE PEACEFUL PARENTING AI, AND AUDIOBOOK!https://peacefulparenting.com/Join the PREMIUM philosophy community on the web for free!Also get the Truth About the French Revolution, the interactive multi-lingual philosophy AI trained on thousands of hours of my material, private livestreams, premium call in shows, the 22 Part History of Philosophers series and much more!See you soon!https://freedomain.locals.com/support/promo/UPB2022

Today I had the great pleasure of talking with one of my favorite YouTubers, Sam of the channel Master Samwise. He is an insightful film and TV critic, and has created several video essays on the virtuous masculinity of some of my favorite fictional characters: Aragorn and Samwise Gamgee of The Lord of the Rings and Iroh of the Fire Nation from Avatar: The Last Airbender.

Zoë comes over for dinner.By Quinn_McMullen, in 8 parts. Listen to the ► Podcast at Explicit Novels. Chapter 5Later, Zoë called and said Friday would be a nice evening for dinner. I asked if there was anything she couldn't eat and she said she avoided anything spicy; it wasn't good for her stomach. I called Chris for dinner advice and she said that Zoë eats anything, but she ate like a bird. Small portions would be smart.The next day, Friday, I tuned up my bicycle. I was surprised I didn't get a visit from Chris. I did laundry, setting up a drawer in the bedroom for her work clothes. I also tidied up around the house, dusted and vacuumed. It wasn't that I was a neat freak, but I wanted Zoë to see my farmhouse at its best.The dinner plan was a basil, mozzarella chicken dish that I had invented for Roz. I hadn't made it for at least five years. I was growing fond of Zoë. While a romantic dinner did not fit into the profile of a friend with benefits, I wanted to let her know that I treasured her friendship. For me, making the chicken dish for Zoë felt like a unique gift I could give her. I was unwrapping a piece of my past and presenting it anew.I had fresh zucchini, tomatoes, lettuce greens, green beans, oregano, parsley, and basil from the garden. I also picked a quart of late season raspberries from my bushes. On the way into town, I was inspired to stop by the hardware store and have two extra house keys made. I stopped by the liquor store and selected a nice Napa Valley chardonnay.Zoë was due at six, so I showered and shaved extra close at four. Figuring commando was best, I put on a pair of Dockers and a dress shirt. By quarter to six, I had the dinner all prepared and the table set. I made sure that the portions were small so that she wouldn't feel bad if she left something on her plate. It was still light outside, but I decided to light the candles anyway. I hoped they would create the kind of atmosphere that I was looking for. I got out my good china and set the dining room table according to Emily Post's etiquette guidance. Everything was prepared, all I had to do was serve the meal.Zoë appeared at my mudroom door at five to six. She was going to knock, but she saw me coming and smiled. I opened the door and she stepped in.Normally Zoë's hair was straight, but this evening it had a bit of curl and wave to it. Her dress was a pastel green. It reminded me of a dress from Greek mythology. It came up and fastened behind her neck leaving her shoulders, back, and arms bare. The neckline plunged to a little gold band that encircled her waist. While the dress was daring, it didn't expose anything. The hem was below her knee, and she wore matching flats.She immediately put her arms around my neck, "Hey."I put my hands on the small of her bare back, as she went on her tiptoes, closed her eyes, and gently kissed me. She hung her small purse on a coat hook by the door."Zoë you are simply mesmerizing this evening.""Thanks. Chris helped me get ready.""Well, thank you for taking the time to be such an enchanting dinner date."I offered her my arm, "Please come in my dear. I have a very nice dinner prepared."I escorted her to the dining room.She exclaimed, "Oh, this is so nice!"I held out the chair for her and she sat down.I went into the kitchen and brought out the bottle of wine, then returned for the salad. "What type of dressing would you like, my dear?""Do you have ranch?"I nodded. I retrieved two bottles of dressing: ranch and creamy Italian. I sat down and poured a little wine in each of our glasses. I wanted us both stone cold sober, but the wine went well with dinner.Zoë was glowing, "This is a beautiful salad, Quinn.""It's all from my garden.""You are quite the gentleman farmer, aren't you?""It keeps me out of the bars."She smiled. We finished our salads without any conversation. I didn't know if she was being bashful or was just naturally quiet, but she just looked at me and smiled a lot. I cleared away the salad bowls.In the kitchen I plated the chicken, roasted zucchini, and green beans. I remembered small portions for Zoë. I put a little garnish of parsley on the side. I put the plate in front of her from the side as a waiter would do and then set a basket of dinner rolls in the center. I joined her at the table."Oh Quinn, this looks wonderful.""It's my own recipe that I invented for Roz many years ago. I wanted to make you something special.""Not only a gentleman farmer, but a chef!""I hope you enjoy it, my dear."She placed her hand on my arm, "Do you have any idea how sweet this is?"She was smiling intensely as a tear rolled down her cheek."What the matter?""Quinn, this is one of the most thoughtful things anyone has done for me. I feel like royalty. You are treating me like a princess."I put on my fake British accent, "Only the finest for her majesty."She squeezed my forearm, "Thank you.""You are most welcome."Zoë cut a small bite off the chicken and placed it in her mouth. Her eyes went wide.She chewed and swallowed, "Oh Quinn, this is so good.""I'm glad you like it."She took a bite of zucchini, "Oh, this is good too. What did you do to it?""Not a lot. Some quality Spanish olive oil, a sprinkling of crushed fresh basil and oregano. About 20 minutes on each side on the grill. The beans are only steamed with melted butter.""Well, it is so good."Trying to keep the conversation going I asked, "So what have you been up to since I saw you last?""Mostly I have been trying to get used to having a five-year-old in my house. I am definitely not cut out for motherhood. I don't know how Chris or any other mother does it. Jackie goes non-stop and then he crashes. I know, I'm supposed to call him John, but a name is a hard habit to break.""My grandkids do the same to me.""How old are they?""Seven, five, and three. I love them dearly, but they are exhausting."We had a very nice conversation on how to deal with little kids.Zoë ate most of her meal, then looked a little sheepish, "Quinn, please don't think I didn't love this, I've just had some intestinal issues recently and I don't want to press my luck.""That is quite all right, my dear."I removed our plates. In the kitchen I placed the raspberries into small bowls with a dollop of freshly whipped cream on top.I placed the bowl in front of her, "Fresh berries and cream for her majesty.""Oh, I love raspberries.""I picked these this afternoon."She took a dainty bite, "Oh, those are so sweet. I didn't know you had berry bushes.""Blueberries too, but they're out of season now.""Quinn, you are just more and more impressive each moment. Lean over here, I need to kiss you."I leaned over and she softly pressed her lips to mine. She opened her mouth and I touched her tongue.Zoë leaned back with her eyes closed.She opened them slowly, "That may be the nicest part of this entire dinner."I took my wine glass, "May I make a toast, my dear?"She picked up her glass and smiled."Here's to a stunningly beautiful dinner companion and a treasured friend."We clinked glasses and took a sip.Zoë said, "If I may." She looked into my eyes, "Here's to the kindest, sweetest, and sexiest date a girl could ever have."We clinked glasses again. I finished my berries and cream first and just looked at Zoë. I could feel a wide grin on my face.She looked at me, "What?""This makes me very happy. Making you a nice dinner, spending some quality time with you. I can't remember when the last time I had such a delightful evening."Zoë blushed and put her hand on my arm again, "You're the best." We finished dinner. I put the leftovers in the fridge and left the dishes for later. We went into my living room. I turned on the end table lamps as the daylight was fading. I sat down on the couch. I expected Zoë to sit next to me with her back to the couch. Instead, she hiked up her dress and sat down next to me, but cross-legged facing me. The dress still covered her legs. She took my hand and held it in her lap. She looked serious and I could feel a serious conversation coming on.Zoë began, "Yesterday, I went on a really long hike. I did a lot of thinking."I opened my mouth to say something, but she placed her finger on my lips. "You'll get to talk Quinn, but you've got to let me say this. If you interrupt me, I'll lose my train of thought."I nodded.Zoë took a deep breath. "First, what you said in your toast goes for me too. I absolutely treasure your friendship. You are the sweetest and dearest man I know. I don't ever want to do anything that will hurt us or hurt you. You are such a dear, sweet man. I just said that." She laughed at herself, then took another breath. "The other day was magical. I have had sex with three men before you, but I don't think I would say that I made love to any of them. Wednesday was the first time I made love. It was so special."I started to say something and she held up a finger, "Wait. There's more."She took a deep breath and she seemed to struggle to find the words, "I love you Quinn McMullen more than you will ever know."My mind started racing. She loves me. I barely know her.Zoë continued, "Even though you probably love me too, I know your heart belongs to Chris. You can't deny this. I've seen the way you have looked at her ever since she came here. Your conversations look like your hearts are joined through your eyes."She wiped her eyes, her voice started to break a little, "Quinn, I am so cool with that. When we were talking about being married the other day and you talked about finding the right person, I knew I could never be that person for you. I think Chris is that person. Chris and I talked about it for hours after Jackie went to bed last night."She took another deep breath, "Wait there's more."Another deep breath and Zoë continued, "I really like Chris' idea of a friend with benefits. Neither one of us are in a real relationship, but we can care for one another. I care for you so deeply. I love you so much. At times my heart aches for you. We can give each other pleasure. We can be so good for one another."She took another deep breath, "Okay, I'm done for now.""I can go for that.""That's all you have to say?" She looked shocked."First, Zoë, please don't write yourself off. I don't want to give you false hope, but before this week I really didn't know you. I still don't know much about you. Yes, Chris and I have been eye flirting for years. Yes, I do love her so. Here's the thing. I don't know if I can be a father again. We talked about it earlier this week. She is a package deal. She comes with baggage called Jackie. Actually, she doesn't think I could be a step-dad again."I took her hand, "Zoë, when you told me just now that you loved me, I never knew you cared for me like that. I probably have been too self-centered in my grief to realize it. Please don't write yourself off. You're a beautiful, brilliant woman with a heart of gold."I brought her hand to my lips and kissed it. "After Chris put the idea in my head about friends with benefits, I had to go do some research. I think it is a good idea, but it sounds like we need to agree to rules.""Oh, that's a good idea.""Okay, so the first rule should involve dating others.""We can absolutely date others. Should we have to tell each other about it?"

Well, I cannot defy or deny the people, so I went down to Al's of Hampden in Enola on the West Shore and got the interview...and then hung around and visited some more breweries: Ever Grain, Mellow Mink, Sworn, Hemauer, and Liquid Noise. I got in a visit to Sugar Run Brewing in Duncansville as well, and I'll tell you about opening night at the newest bar in Millheim: our home bar, First Draft, is finally complete, and spreading joy among our friends. And if you're interested...check out the @stagpodcast Instagram page to see a picture of our new Corgi puppy, Samwise! Next episode?

Samwise (yup, that's his name) and his boss, Jonathan, don't see eye-to-eye about how Sam manages one of Jonathan's stores. But things take a turn after Sam feigns amnesia after hitting his head on a bathroom display after Jonathan fires him after a disagreement. Not wanting to be sued, Jonathan invites Sam to stay with him until he is fully recovered from his concussion, or until he can start remembering. But Jonathan doesn't know that Sam really doesn't have amnesia, not in the least. What starts off as a contentious relationship between two men who have hurtful pasts, turns into a beautiful pairing of two people who need each other to move forward. While this paragraph seems super serious, this book is hilarious and fun with its quick quips and amazing narration. Listen along as we fall into so many different emotions with Sam and Jonathan. ***We would love and appreciate it if you could Subscribe then Rate & Review us on iTunes!

Want to request a song? Tell us your rating? Send us a Text Message right now! We are joined by an old friend of the podcast Samwise Hemmings and he has a NEW podcast called "Mum's Friend Energy! Listen to it HERE"U Remind Me" by Usher is a song that explores the concept of memory and its role in romantic relationships through a scientific lens. The lyrics depict the protagonist encountering a new romantic interest who bears a striking resemblance to a past lover. This triggers a cascade of memories associated with the previous relationship, leading the protagonist to feel hesitant about pursuing a new connection due to the emotional baggage carried from the past.From a neuroscientific perspective, the song touches upon the phenomenon of memory consolidation and retrieval. The protagonist's experience reflects the intricate neural networks involved in encoding and recalling past experiences, particularly those linked to emotional events. The recurrence of memories triggered by the new romantic interest highlights the interconnectedness of emotions and memory processing in the brain. Ultimately, "U Remind Me" portrays the complexities of human memory and its influence on decision-making in matters of the heart.DUBBY DUBBY is declaring WAR on big Energy!

In this episode, we grab a pint with Sam's dad at the Ivy Bush as we resume our exploration of Lord of the Rings Book 1 Chapter 1 A Long Expected Party by considering the section from “Twelve more years passed…” to “...this very month as-is.”The bulk of this section concerns Hamfast Gamgee, aka The Gaffer, and his conversation with other Shire-folk including Daddy Twofoot, Sandyman the Miller, and Old Noakes.Through their humorous back and forth, we'll come to understand how Bilbo and Frodo are generally viewed around the Shire, and discover something of where the Gaffer's son, Samwise, gets his personality.Join us!EXECUTIVE PRODUCERS:- Kaitlyn of Tea with Tolkien- John R- Melkor27- KGWATCH THE VIDEO » https://youtu.be/bpQbSAi7M2IWATCH AD-FREE » https://www.patreon.com/posts/100016347LISTEN AD-FREE » https://www.patreon.com/posts/100016452FOLLOW & SUPPORT THE TOLKIEN ROAD:PATREON » SUPERFANS!TWITTERFACEBOOKINSTAGRAMLINKS & MATHOMS:- take 10% OFF Tolkien Road merch at True Myths Press » https://truemythspress.com/discount/TENOFF (enter code TENOFF at checkout)- listen to TOLKIEN'S WORKS for FREE » https://www.audibletrial.com/everon- buy Tolkien's Requiem » https://tolkiensrequiem.com/ - buy Tolkien's Overture » https://tolkiensoverture.com/SPECIAL THANKS TO THE FOLLOWING PATRONS:- John R- Kaitlyn of Tea with Tolkien- Melkor27- KG- Emilio P- Jonathan D- Richard K- Paul D- Julia- Werty- Chris B- Tuor91- Carolyn S- Emiel K- Brian O (the 2nd)- Jonathan R- Seb M- Ms. Anonymous- Andrew T- Redhawk- Shannon S- Brian O (the 1st)- Zeke F- James L- Chris L- Asya V- Ish of the Hammer- Teresa C- David of Pints with Jack- Eric BAS WELL AS THOSE CELEBRATING THEIR PATRON ANNIVERSARY IN MARCH OF 2024- Peter B- Paul D- Steven S- Jay Z- Bethany E- Daniel D- Kaitlyn of Tea With TolkienThank you so much for sticking with us over the years!!!

Whitey and Damo are joined by Jeff from MCU's Bleeding Edge and they go head first into Middle Earth again for the Two Towers"The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers" is a cinematic masterpiece that continues the epic journey begun in "The Fellowship of the Ring." Directed by Peter Jackson, this second instalment in the trilogy is a compelling blend of fantasy, adventure, and drama, set in the richly imagined world of Middle-earth.The film opens where the first left off, with the Fellowship scattered. Its members are now divided into three groups, each facing their own challenges. Aragorn (Viggo Mortensen), Legolas (Orlando Bloom), and Gimli (John Rhys-Davies) pursue the Uruk-hai to rescue Merry (Dominic Monaghan) and Pippin (Billy Boyd). Meanwhile, Frodo (Elijah Wood) and Sam (Sean Astin) continue their perilous journey to Mordor, guided by the treacherous Gollum (Andy Serkis). The third narrative thread follows the wizard Gandalf (Ian McKellen), believed dead, as he returns in a new guise to aid the people of Rohan against the forces of Saruman (Christopher Lee).The film excels in expanding the scope of Middle-earth, introducing new landscapes and cultures. The kingdom of Rohan, with its horse-lords and majestic halls, is a standout, beautifully realized with a keen eye for detail. The besieged city of Helm's Deep, where much of the film's action converges, is a marvel of set design and visual effects, providing a backdrop for one of the most spectacular battle scenes in cinema history.Jackson's direction is both grand and intimate. He masterfully balances large-scale battles with quieter moments of character development. The film's pacing is excellent, interweaving the various storylines seamlessly and keeping the audience engaged throughout its three-hour runtime.The cast delivers outstanding performances. Mortensen's Aragorn is both regal and rugged, embodying the reluctant hero with a sense of gravity and depth. McKellen's Gandalf is a source of wisdom and strength, while Serkis's groundbreaking performance as Gollum is both pitiable and unsettling. The CGI character of Gollum, a blend of animation and performance capture, was a significant achievement for its time and remains a high point in the use of digital characters in film.Howard Shore's score is another highlight. His music perfectly complements the on-screen action, enhancing the emotional resonance of each scene. The themes introduced in the first film are expanded upon here, with new motifs that reflect the evolving narrative.The adaptation of J.R.R. Tolkien's work is respectful and inventive. While changes were made for cinematic purposes, they serve the story well, maintaining the spirit of the source material. The screenplay by Fran Walsh, Philippa Boyens, Stephen Sinclair, and Jackson is a careful balancing act of staying true to Tolkien's vision while making the story accessible and engaging for a modern audience.The visual effects are groundbreaking. The integration of practical effects and CGI creates a believable, immersive world. The Battle of Helm's Deep, in particular, showcases this blend to stunning effect. The use of forced perspective, miniatures, and digital effects to create the various races of Middle-earth is seamless and convincing.The Two Towers also delves deeper into the themes of power, corruption, and redemption. The film explores the seductive nature of power through the characters of Saruman and Gollum. Saruman's fall from grace and Gollum's internal struggle with his 'Smeagol' persona are poignant illustrations of these themes. The film also examines the bonds of friendship and the resilience of the human (and hobbit) spirit in the face of overwhelming adversity.The movie is not without its flaws. Some fans of the books may take issue with the changes and omissions in the adaptation. Additionally, the film's middle position in the trilogy means it lacks a true beginning and end, potentially leaving some viewers unsatisfied. However, these are minor critiques in an otherwise outstanding film."The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers" is a triumph of filmmaking. It is a rare sequel that not only lives up to its predecessor but also deepens and enriches the overarching narrative. The film combines a strong story, well-developed characters, impressive visuals, and a magnificent score to create an unforgettable cinematic experience. It is a testament to the power of storytelling and the potential of the fantasy genre. For fans of Tolkien, cinema, or just great storytelling, "The Two Towers" is an essential film that continues to resonate and inspire.Check out The MCU's Bleeding Edge Youtube channel and check out what Jeff, Cyber and Andres have been up to.

Katie and Bridget spend 20 years trying to play football at Notre Dame as they re-watch the movie: Rudy! It's a story all about how if you have a dream, you're gonna have to work your 5-foot-nothing butt off to make it happen AND potentially become homeless along the way! Come along as we meet Rudy, a guy who's name is thankfully not actually Rudy Ruettiger. He spends his life aspiring to play football the University of Notre Dame, but faces hurdles when he doesn't have the grades, talent, or even height to make it happen right away. With a little help from his newfound hype man - aka D-Bob - Rudy gets the grades to get into the school (thankfully without having to become a priest). Rudy gets put on the team as a personality hire and soon he teaches all his teammates about what it means to be DEDICATED. At the last home game of his senior year, Rudy is given a chance to play and SPOILER ALERT HE MAKES US ALL CRY. Will Rudy be able to earn the respect he wants at the end of it all? Does Fortune's tear-jerking speech answer that question while simultaneously making us cry!? Released in 1993 (the best year for movies), it stars Jon Favreau, Ned Beatty, and Samwise the Brave himself: Sean Astin.
It's another episode of 2 Guys and a Goalie presented by Coolbet Canada with Dustin Nielson, Matt Kassian and Joaquin Gage! The boys preview the Edmonton Oilers hosting the Dallas Stars and what can be expected from Sam Gagner.
Tuesday means a fresh episode of Oilersnation Radio is wrapped up and ready to get you through the middle portion of your week. This week, we're recapping the Heritage Classic, the Adam Erne/Sam Gagner swap, and much more. Kicking off the podcast, we got started with a look at the breaking news from earlier today that has the Oilers waiving Adam Erne and replacing him with the newly signed Sam Gagner. Given that Erne was barely playing before his demotion, does it make sense to bring up Sam Gagner and do the same thing? How much will Samwise play? With the news out of the way, we looked back at Sunday's Heritage Classic and how the event was a spectacular experience for anyone lucky enough to be there. Whether it was winning a big game over the Flames, the depth scoring from throughout the lineup, or how Oilers fans made Sunday night a huge success, the Heritage Classic was a blast in every possible way. After breaking down what went down at C0mmonwealth Stadium a couple of days ago, we looked at some of the daily news that's come out in the days since to ensure you're up to date. Lastly, we wrapped up the Tuesday episode of ONR with another round of Woz's new segment, 'Can You Clear This Up for Me' to help make sense of everything that's happening these days. Hosted on Acast.

It's been a trying time for Oilers fans through these first couple of weeks of the season, and that led to a spicy Monday episode of the Real Life podcast.Kicking off the Monday episode of Real Life, the guys got going with the Sam Gagner contract news that came out earlier this morning. Now that Gagner is getting set to kick off his year with the Condors, we wondered how long it may take for Samwise to make the jump back to the NHL. From there, the guys started doing an ad read for Alberta Blue Cross before quickly getting derailed by the news of an Aqua concert that's happening while the fellas are in Seattle. Since the boys will be going to a football game on that trip to Seattle, Chalmers asked Tyler what the hell is going on with Buffalo as the Bills just dropped a game to one of the league's worst teams. Getting back to the Oilers, the guys discussed the Oilers' implosion from Saturday night and how that loss resulted from avoidable errors that simply cannot happen. And now that the team will be without Connor McDavid for the next week or two, the boys wondered who will step up in the captain's absence and whether or not the team can turn this skid around without their best player. Lastly, the guys wrapped up the Tuesday episode of Real Life with another round of podcast reviews after a few people dropped us a line about the podcast and its meaning to them. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
On this episode we interview Samwise to talk about his background with D&D, his days in Living Greyhawk, the Jebli Freestate, and his heresies!

Nielson and Gazzola are back with another episode of the Oil Stream, presented by Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen on Edmonton Sports Talk! Gazzola joins Dusty in the new Edmonton Sports Talk offices to dive into the rumours swirling around a possible reunion between the Oilers and Sam Gagner. During the Boston Pizza Appetizer Tommy points out that the Oilers offered Gagner a hockey ops job three years ago and how it makes sense that his post playing career begins in Edmonton. Where did things go wrong with Steve Staios and why is he no longer a part of the organization?

We highly recommend checking out her honest, thought-provoking, and whimsy-filled Instagram posts, which is how we first connected with her.Stephanie has been a guest twice on the Fable and the Verbivore podcast for an author interview and in an episode ealier this year talking about The Wistful Wild poem collection. Here are those episodes: - Episode 50: Interview with Stephanie Ascough - Episode 182: The Wistful WildKate is an author of dark fantasy romance and contemporary fantasy stories.

Here are those episodes: - Episode 175: Writing sex scenes- Episode 190: A panel on neurodiversity and creativityTowards the beginning of this episode, Fable mentions a post that Kate had on Instagram about the male friendships in this series. That post can be found here. In this conversation, we reference several different quotes from the LOTR books. They are:Sam: “His thought turned to the Ring, but there was no comfort there, only dread and danger. No sooner had he come in sight of Mount Doom, burning far away, than he was aware of a change in his burden. As it drew near the great furnaces where, in the deeps of time, it had been shaped and forged, the Ring's power grew, and it became more fell, untameable except by some mighty will. As Sam stood there, even though the Ring was not on him but hanging by its chain about his neck, he felt himself enlarged, as if he were robed in a huge distorted shadow of himself, a vast and ominous threat halted upon the walls of Mordor. He felt that he had from now on only two choices: to forbear the Ring, though it would torment him; or to claim it, and challenge the Power that sat in its dark hold beyond the valley of shadows. Already the Ring tempted him, gnawing at his will and reason. Wild fantasies arose in his mind; and he saw Samwise the Strong, Hero of the Age, striding with a flaming sword across the darkened land, and armies flocking to his call as he marched to the overthrow of Barad-dur. And then all the clouds rolled away, and the white sun shone, and at his command the vale of Gorgoroth became a garden of flowers and trees and brought forth fruit. He had only to put on the Ring and claim it for his own, and all this could be. In that hour of trial it was his love of his master that helped most to hold him firm; but also deep down in him lived still unconquered his plain hobbit-sense: he knew in the core of his heart that he was not large enough to bear such a burden, even if such visions were not a mere cheat to betray him. The one small garden of a free gardener was all his need and due, not a garden swollen to a realm; his own hands to use, not the hands of others to command. 'And anyway all these notions are only a trick, he said to himself.”― J.R.R. Tolkien, The Return of the KingFrodo: 'It's a pity Bilbo didn't kill Gollum when he had the chance.'Gandalf: 'Pity? It's a pity that stayed Bilbo's hand. Many that live deserve death. Some that die deserve life. Can you give it to them, Frodo? Do not be too eager to deal out death in judgment. Even the very wise cannot see all ends. My heart tells me that Gollum has some part to play in it, for good or evil, before this is over. The pity of Bilbo may rule the fate of many.' Frodo: 'I wish the Ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened.'Gandalf: 'So do all who live to see such times, but that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us. There are other forces at work in this world, Frodo, besides that of evil. Bilbo was meant to find the Ring, in which case you were also meant to have it. And that is an encouraging thought.”― J.R.R. Tolkien, The Fellowship of the Ring“A time may come soon," said he, "when none will return. Then there will be need of valour without renown, for none shall remember the deeds that are done in the last defence of your homes. Yet the deeds will not be less valiant because they are unpraised."She answered: "All your words are but to say: you are a woman, and your part is in the house. But when the men have died in battle and honour, you have leave to be burned in the house, for the men will need it no more. But I am of the House of Eorl and not a serving-woman. I can ride and wield blade, and I do not fear either pain or death.""What do you fear, lady?" he asked."A cage," she said. "To stay behind bars, until use and old age accept them, and all chance of doing great deeds is gone beyond recall or desire.”― J.R.R. Tolkien, The Return of the KingWe also referenced several movie clips from the films in this conversation.

Happy Easter everyone! (we're Catholic, and so was Tolkien, so it's still Easter...) In this episode, we read Samwise's astonished awakening in The Field of Cormallen after the destruction of the One Ring, and discuss how it relates to the overwhelming joy of Easter. “The Resurrection was the greatest ‘eucatastrophe' possible in the greatest Fairy Story – and produces that essential emotion: Christian joy which produces tears because it is qualitatively so like sorrow, because it comes from those places where Joy and Sorrow are at one, reconciled, as selfishness and altruism are lost in Love.” ~ J.R.R.

Sure it's 3 months away, but if that doesn't stop WOTC from sharing The Lord of the Rings: Tales of Middle-earth spoilers, what should stop us from talking about the summer's straight to Modern set? We chat about Frodo, Samwise, Gollum and the One Ring, and somehow convince ourselves that maybe these cards can work in a deck with other lands and spells..? Then we dust off our old Arena accounts to play some new Innistrad cards. We break down which decks get the biggest boost from the latest update, bringing Explorer one step closer to Pioneer. And take count of which decks still have a way to go due to critical, missing pieces.
