The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring

"I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo. "So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to hear such podcasts. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is whether to twist and ka-chunk the cruciform keys given to us." That's right baby, we're back! In an episode they're calling "severely delayed by illness, auditions and the Olympics" we're opening up the doors to the vault and inducting Peter Jackson's 2001 classic The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring into the podcast canon, fresh on the heels of its 25th anniversary theatrical re-release. Fellowship was directed by Peter Jackson, written by Jackson, Fran Walsh and Philippa Boyens (off the novel by J.R.R. Tolkien) and stars Elijah Wood, Ian McKellan, Viggo Mortensen, Sean Astin, Ian Holm, Christopher Lee, Sean Bean, Billy Boyd, Dominic Monaghan, Orlando Bloom, John Rhys-Davies, Cate Blanchett, Hugo Weaving, Liv Tyler, and Andy Serkis. It's a movie that J Mo has now seen seven times in theaters, and one Hayley recently got engaged while in the middle of watching, so suffice to say this is a very special movie for both of us. We talk all about that and more, so get into it! No clue when we'll be back, but thanks for sticking with us, we love you.
