124. Lord of the Rings: Rings of Power -- The Return to Middle-Earth Podcast

from Socially Distanced · host The Pop Break

Socially Distanced makes its return to Middle-Earth! In this episode host Bill Bodkin is joined by Alex "The Grey" Marcus -- the wizard of all things podcast on Pop Break and Rachel Freeman -- The Galadriel of The Pop Break (aka Comic Books and Anime Editor) to discuss Amazon Prime Video's high-priced new series, Lord of the Rings: Rings of Power. In the episode we discuss our relationship with Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings trilogy (yay!) and his Hobbit trilogy (booooo) and how that impacted our anticipation for Rings of Power. Other topics discussed includes the set design and visuals of the series, the return of Elron and Galadriel, as well as new characters Nori, Bronwyn, Arondir and more. They discuss the "stranger" and if he just might be a wizardly character, the disconnect with some of the stories, the controversy over non-white characters in the series (spoilers: that controversy is stupid), and so much more.
