Episode Description

This holiday season we are back to dive into one of the biggest trilogies of all time in J.R.R. Tolkien's Lord of the Rings! Jordan and Colin join Edwin and Alex to break down The Fellowship of the Ring, the first installment from Peter Jackson that kicked it all off in 2001.

After discussing our personal backgrounds with the movie and going over the basics we discuss:

- The most important scenes to us (22:05)

- Delightful moments (39:44)

- Best decision by a character (58:43)

- Worst decision by a character (1:03:25)

- Best specific fight moves (1:09:22)

All that, plus the greatest death on film, how to re-cast this to make it bad, favorite lines, where we'd live in Middle Earth, and so much more.

So put on your mithril vestments, catch the Bucklebury Ferry, and blow the horn of Gondor to kick off a sprawling epic!
