Movie Typing | An Enneagram Podcast

We continue our dive into the characters of Magneto and Professor X, their heroism, their villany and what it says about us.

This episode continues our hero series with a deep dive into one of the most complex characters in comic book storytelling: Erik Lehnsherr, also known as Magneto.Alongside film expert Steve Morris, we explore the tension between Erik and Charles Xavier—two leaders shaped by radically different experiences of trauma, privilege, and power. The conversation moves through key scenes from the X-Men films to examine questions of justice, violence, and what it means to be a “hero” in a fractured world.We discuss the danger of reducing people to categories, the role of trauma in shaping moral vision, and the competing claims of nonviolence versus force. Along the way, the episode connects these themes to real-world conflicts, showing how easily the line between hero and villain can blur depending on perspective.This is a conversation about power, responsibility, and the kind of person we become when we decide how to confront evil.

In the grand finale of our Lord of the Rings typing series, Jeff and TJ take on the final—and perhaps most nuanced—characters of Tolkien’s epic. This week, the focus is on Frodo and Faramir, two deeply reflective and emotionally complex figures whose journeys illuminate the heart of the Enneagram. As the discussion dives into Faramir’s longing to be seen and Frodo’s heavy burden of the One Ring, the hosts unpack the traits of Enneagram Fours, their struggles, and their strengths.With humor and heart, Jeff and TJ also revisit the complete typing list of the Lord of the Rings universe, reflecting on themes of duty, empathy, and the profound emotional resonance of Tolkien’s characters. Whether you're a fan of the books, the films, or simply the Enneagram, this episode ties the entire series together with insightful conclusions, some surprising debates, and a celebration of what it means to truly know oneself.Join us for this epic conclusion as we explore Frodo's quiet resolve, Faramir's inner battle for recognition, and how the Enneagram continues to guide us in understanding the stories—and lives—that matter most.

Join Jeff and TJ as they dive deep into the Enneagram typings of two iconic Lord of the Rings characters: Meriadoc "Merry" Brandybuck and Legolas. Is Merry a loyal caretaker Type 2, and what does his relationship with Pippin reveal about his journey? Could Legolas's competitive nature and sleek precision point to him being a Type 3, or does his keen observational style suggest something else entirely? Along the way, we explore their growth, stress responses, and what these beloved characters teach us about ourselves.With plenty of humor, insights, and a few jabs at Orlando Bloom's portrayal, this episode is a must-listen for Enneagram enthusiasts and Tolkien fans alike.Around the Circle is your home for thoughtful Enneagram conversations, pop culture deep dives, and more.

In Part 6 of our epic Lord of the Rings Enneagram series, we dive deep into the personalities of four iconic Middle-earth characters. Join Jeff and TJ as they explore the complexities of Gollum’s internal struggle, Denethor’s volatile relationships, Galadriel’s ethereal wisdom, and Arwen’s steadfast devotion. How does the Enneagram reveal the deeper motives and emotional patterns behind their choices? And why do certain types resonate so powerfully in Tolkien’s world?This episode is packed with insights, debates, and a few surprises as we continue our journey through the greatest trilogy of all time. Plus, we set the stage for our next discussion with Mary Brandybuck front and center. Tune in, geek out, and maybe even leave us a review—because being the 200th reviewer is basically like holding the One Ring (without the corruption).Don’t forget to visit aroundthecircle.org for exclusive content, and may all good things be yours!

We jump into the first round of deep dives with Éowyn, Pippin, Gimli, Théoden and Boromir.

We start our mistyping conversation by dive deep into Fives and Sixes. From Gandalf’s wisdom and power struggles to Samwise Gamgee’s steadfast loyalty, each episode unpacks motivations, fears, and dynamics in Middle-earth.In this episode, we kick off a multi-part series with spirited debates on Gandalf’s complexity—Type 5 or 8?—Elrond’s reserved wisdom, and Wormtongue’s manipulative edge. We also tackle the heartfelt question: Is Sam a devoted Type 2 or a loyal Type 6? Whether you're an Enneagram enthusiast, a Tolkien fan, or both, this is your guide to understanding the inner lives of these iconic characters.🔗 Follow us on Instagram and Twitter, and don’t forget to rate, review, and share! 🌟
