Episode 175 - The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers

We're still walking to Mordor, please wait for the beep!.  Join your favourite TransAtlantic podcasting crew: Ian, Liam, and BFF of the BFE: James DeGuzman (Ethan and Georgia are trapped on top of a giant puppet over lunch break) as we're heading back to Mordor, Gandor, Rohan, Helms Deep and Isenguard in The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers. It's a split personality of a 175th episode as we discuss:

• When is a mistake not a mistake?
• What error will Ian not stop making
• Ian shares an issue with a guitar purchase
• When does runtime become a legit hinderance for a film?
• Felix has a 2nd job and shares some of his early work
• Whether Howard Shore is the most underrated composer of all time
• Is Middle Earth a place we want to spend more time outside of the LOTR trilogy
• Is the LOTR trilogy a must watch for people or only if you're into fantasy?
• We give one of the actors in this film a 2nd job, and that's the bottom line
• Whether or not The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers is the Best Film Ever
