The Gospel in Lord of the Rings In this episode of the Exploring More podcast, Michael Thompson and SJ Jennings journey through the epic world of The Lord of the Rings—exploring how Tolkien's masterpiece mirrors the deeper spiritual realities of our own lives. From the quiet comfort of the Shire to the battlefields of Middle Earth, the conversation follows Frodo, Gandalf, Aragorn, and the fellowship as they answer the call to adventure, face down evil, and sacrifice for something greater than themselves. Using the trailers from The Fellowship of the Ring, The Two Towers, and The Return of the King, Michael and SJ unpack the arc of the Hero's Journey and why it continues to resonate. They reflect on the pull toward comfort, the cost of leaving "the normal world," and the significance of choosing hope in the darkest places. The ring becomes more than a plot device—it's a symbol of the burdens we carry and the battles we face daily. With personal stories, spiritual insight, and reverence for the storytelling genius of Tolkien, this episode reminds us that every man is in a larger story—one filled with glory, grief, and a King worth following.

Forth Eorlingas! This week we toss Gimli face first into the forces of the Enemy. It's another four hour tour of Middle Earth, and this time, we brought Ents.Is the middle film of a trilogy ever the best one? In this case, the jury's out, but one thing is for certain: it has the weirdest title of all three.Topics explored this week include: Legolas's whole deal, the groundbreaking creation of Sméagol, Merry and Pippin blazin' it with Treebeard, Helm's Deep, Helm's Deep, and a LOT more Helm's Deep.Next week, we complete the holy trinity with RETURN OF THE KING (2003), and then we promise we'll never talk about Rings again (just kidding, the Ring has corrupted us and there's no turning back now).

Listeners, the Third Age is finally upon us. The nine companions are assembled. The recording is 4 hours long. It shall be… The Fellowship of the Duck!This week, Adam and Dom are embarking on a quest to save Middle-Earth and somehow make sense of the greatest trilogy in movie history. It's FELLOWSHIP, and we still cannot believe Peter Jackson actually pulled this off. There are simply too many Eye of the Duck scenes!Some points of discussion on our journey to Mordor: do the Rings movies function as self-contained stories? Is this the best the industry will ever be? Should Jackson be arrested for skipping Tom Bombadil? And when the hell is Warner Bros going to finally put out a 4K box set that contains the Blu-Ray Appendices?!Next week, the trilogy continues with another massive episode on THE TWO TOWERS (2002).

This discussion focuses on the differences between watching Two Towers now versus upon original release with many prompting questions asked about the charcters, the premise, and if the ideas are still relevant in 2025. It's an emotional visceral lookback with some nerdy lore moments too.  YouTube Version: https://youtu.be/uuU0NUXamy4?si=UJY7X6g-b_S4eYwD Connect w/ us on Discord! https://discord.gg/8FmrT9Drvu Join the Faithful for bonus episodes! https://lsgmedia.net/product/membership-options/ Acknowledgements Floyd Frye (Intro/Outro Voice): https://www.tiktok.com/@floydfrye George C Music (Music): https://www.youtube.com/@GeorgeCMusic

Transforming a work of literature into a trick-taking game is no mean feat, especially when that work is as influential as The Lord of the Rings. Today, we're joined by Bryan Bornmueller, creator of the trick-taking versions of both The Fellowship of the Ring and The Two Towers. Listen in as we discuss our background with both Tolkien and trick-taking, the difficulties of adaptation, and what's coming next.

A raw, no-fluff review of The Two Towers — the darker, tighter middle act of LOTR. I cover the split structure, why Book III feels punchier (Helm's Deep, Ents), why Book IV slows to a crawl before the Shelob crescendo, and how pain trains the will through Frodo's burden and Sam's rise. I read this over a couple of months and felt the weight, the world-building, and the payoff.Spoilers ahead: Gandalf's return, the march to war, Frodo/Sam/Gollum through the marshes, and that spider. If you value integrity, patience and quiet courage, this one hits deep. If you've read it, tell me your favourite moment (Helm's Deep or Shelob?). If you haven't: persevere — the last hundred pages cook.Chapters00:00 – Intro & why this book now00:26 – Edition & context (movies vs book)00:56 – Darker tone; two storylines01:23 – Reading over 2–3 months; dense lore02:34 – Detail overload: when it works/doesn't04:35 – Book split: company/Helm's Deep vs Frodo/Sam05:56 – Helm's Deep: thrill + I wanted more06:29 – Frodo/Sam/Gollum: the slow march07:35 – The drag before the payoff08:16 – “Shelob's Lair”: can't-put-down stretch09:40 – Sam takes the Ring; cliffhanger10:00 – “Pain is a teacher” & Frodo's burden11:44 – Sam's unsung heroism12:40 – Who should read; how to read it13:37 – Verdict: “savage, beautiful middle movement”Connect with Mere Mortals:Website: https://www.meremortalspodcast.com/Discord: https://discord.gg/jjfq9eGReUTwitter/X: https://twitter.com/meremortalspodsInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/meremortalspodcasts/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@meremortalspodcast Connect with Mere Mortals:Website: https://www.meremortalspodcasts.com/Discord: https://discord.gg/jjfq9eGReUTwitter/X: https://twitter.com/meremortalspodsInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/meremortalspodcasts/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@meremortalspodcastsValue 4 Value Support:Boostagram: https://www.meremortalspodcasts.com/supportPaypal: https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/meremortalspodcast

This week, Ben's pal Claire joins us to discuss "The Two Towers". As always, we hope that you enjoy the conversation!

The Riders of Rohan chapter of The Two Towers is one of the most tense chapters of literature that I have read in a long time. I'm a movie fan, so I know Merry and Pippen are alive, but if you were reading this with no knowledge of the movies or the fate or Merry and Pippen I don't know if I've ever read a chapter that plays with your emotions more than this one.

If you've read The Two Towers by JRR Tolkien, you know that this book starts off guns a blazing. It is drastically different from it's film adaptation in that Boromir dies at the beginning of this book rather than at the end of the Fellowship. And the whole Company is in chaos at the end of the last book rather than the movie has, where there's chaos, but there's also closure, and a plan.

We are going on an adventure! Love The Lord of the Rings? Why not read along with us as we consider the books from the writer's point of view! Taking it chapter by chapter, novelist Julia Golding will reveal new details that you might not have noticed and techniques that will only go to increase your pleasure in future re-readings of our favourite novel. Julia also brings her expert knowledge of life in Oxford and English culture to explain some points that might have passed you by. (00:05) An Author's Look at Two Towers(12:30) The Three Hunters Chase Through Rohan(26:21) Meeting the Riders of Rohan(32:51) Journey, Wisdom, and Jeopardy in Fangorn(44:14) Mystery of the Old ManFor more information on the Oxford Centre for Fantasy, our writing courses, and to check out our awesome social media content visit: Website: https://centre4fantasy.com/website Instagram: https://centre4fantasy.com/Instagram Facebook: https://centre4fantasy.com/Facebook TikTok: https://centre4fantasy.com/tiktok

ACOFAE Podcast Presents: Lord of the Rings: A broad discussion with friend of show Gene! ACOFAE welcomes friend of show Gene for a broad discussion about the world of The Lord of the Rings, specifically the animated Hobbit film and Peter Jackson's first movie; Fellowship of the Ring. A wide-ranging discussion that starts with the lack of women in the series and ends with a pitch for Jessica Marie to sit down and watch Two Towers for reasons, ACOFAE and Gene delight in the details. Though he insists that he is not an expert, friend of show Gene is ACOFAE's expert and he shows it with deep lore drops about music,Tolkien's life, and a love of a specific character that did NOT make it into any of the adaptations that ACOFAE are familiar with! Join Laura Marie, Jessica Marie, and Gene as they broadly discuss Bilbo, Frodo, Sam, Aragorn, and the journey they take with the One Ring, and how that little piece of jewelry is big enough to shape the world.

Middle films are always the most difficult. In this episode Julia Golding and Jacob Rennaker continue their reconsideration of the Peter Jackson trilogy, turning their attention to The Two Towers. They consider the perfect moments and the fails, with one serious criticism which could definitely to revisited if a filmmaker takes it on again. Remember with them the wonder of Rohan, the storming of Isengard, and the introduction of Gollum. What was the big fail? It jarred at the time but now seems even more inappropriate.

One podcast episode to rule them all. Dan's brother Will joins Brian to hunker down and dig deep into Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings trilogy. In this part 1, they give some background context on the info, then dive into Fellowship of the Ring and The Two Towers. Dan, outed as a Tolkien skeptic in the podcast's previous episode of adaptations of the author's work (look up Animated Tolkien in our episode history), does his best to parse through the story and make sense of Tolkien's dense worldbuilding and bizarre naming conventions. Will offers the perspective an invested fan. Brian finds some middle ground. Join soon Part 2, which includes a discussion of The Return of the King and a review of some of the overarching elements of the trilogy.

“Lord of the Rings, Politics, and What's a Christian to Do?” That's the theme for our annual Fall Retreat (October 17-18) with special guest teacher Rev. Steve Pearson. Back for a third conversation in the series, Steve joined Pastor Chris to talk about the second movie in the trilogy, “The Two Towers.” Steve summarized the plot and characters, then he talked about themes in the movie through the lenses we've been using: power (the nature of); fellowship; and sovereignty and freedom. Food for thought: The second movie's title is "The Two Towers," both of which are evil: The tower of Saruman, the wizard, and the tower of Sauron, the main antagonist. But in some ways, Tolkien could have used "The Two Fellowships" as the title instead. There surely is a good fellowship, but to what extent are the evil characters also in a kind of fellowship? For more information about the retreat and Steve, please go here.
