S5E27- Lord of the Rings books, films, cartoons & games (with Dina)

Everything Lord of the Rings is detailed! The films, the upcoming show predictions, the books, the 70s cartoon films, the badass video games and the overall fandom (as well as some of the fan-films!). Why is the original LOTR trilogy so damn perfect in our eyes? Why is it cool to knock the "long ending" to Return of the King these days? What chapter from the first book did they wisely omit from the film's narrative? What famous Action blockbuster director directed the 2nd Unit action scenes/pick-up shots? Who else could had come up with better set design? What original casting choice might we had personally gone with instead? Why does The Hobbit just tank as both a stand-alone film trilogy and as a book adaptation? Will Amazon Prime be able to make its own upcoming version truly stand out? And more musings by Tolkien buffs! #lotr #lordoftherings #action #fantasy #scifi #peterjackson #trilogy #epic #musings #videogames #badass #cool #atmospheric #riveting #music #howardshore #adaptations #hobbit #newzealand #filming #cinematography #writing #directing #artdirection #sets #designs #wardrobe #casting #originalcasting #acting #actors #speeches #books #jrrtolkien #freaky #scary #intense #cool #electronicarts #warnerbros #newlinecinema
