The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King

We're glad to be with you, here at the end of all things. Frodovember closes with our look back at Peter Jackson's incredible capstone to his adaptation of The Lord of The Rings, which collected a record-tying 11 coveted gold Oscar statuettes in exchange for the destruction of one pesky gold ring. Jacob Price of the Pre-Order Bonus podcast joins us to celebrate a film that can only be described as precious. I will not say, "Do not weep", for not all tears are an evil.
