Second Breakfast - Rings of Power Name Reaction with Jason Hilton Feb 05, 2022

While recording the main feed episode about the first Hobbit adaptation, Jason and I unexpectedly went on a tangent about the LOTR Amazon Prime series (now named Rings of Power) and some of our expectations.

We recorded this before the character posters dropped on 2/3/22 so there won't be any mention of that. Enjoy!
