The Lord of the Rings & Things

We made it! Can you believe it?? I can't. Planning around four grown adult schedules is HARD. But cheers- we are here!

We left off with Aragorn, Gimli, and Legolas recruiting the army of the dead living in the shadows. Meanwhile Frodo is fighting off a giant spider, and Merry and Éowyn are fighting the demographic odds by riding with the armies of Rohan to Minas Tirith. It is safe to say, the battle for Middle Earth has begun and so has my migraine because the editing is no joke.

Because of how long and dense these movies are, we aren't able to get to every single plot point and have all the wise things to say. This episode is evidence of that. Peter Jackson isn't playing around with this one. Like... we had time for a dinner and a glass of wine, and Jackson gave us a Thanksgiving meal plus biblical and moral allegories sprinkled in between appetizers and the main course and who has time for that Peter??? And put some shoes on!!!!

If you've been here from the beginning, we love you and are extremely grateful for you and how you love these movies just as much as us. Stick around, we aren't done yet! Check out Erica's solo podcast show "The Movie Buffs!"

Love, Melissa, Maya, Erica & Jennie
