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

Show notes

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!

The First Hobbit Film (1967) - with Jason Hilton of Movie Night Crew Feb 01, 2022

Show notes

Being the one hundred and thirty-fourth episode in which the production story is more interesting than the film, there are Groans and Grablins galore, and Tolkien would have hated PJ’s Helm’s Deep.

Timestamps for the watch along commentary (if you want to skip it or come back to it later): 24:42-36:12
