In this episode, we welcome Haley (aka @haleydegagne on TikTok) to discuss the chapter "Fire and Water" and the corresponding section of Peter Jackson's Hobbit trilogy. Our discussion includes:

- Smaug's attack on Lake-town

- Bard's expanded role in the films

- The return of the talking thrush!

- And much more!

In this episode, we’re excited to welcome back one of our favorite people, Nic aka Fornost42, for kind of a special episode. We say “special,” because this chapter is effectively not in the movie. So join Andie and Nic as they dive into the chapter “Not at Home.”

Kali and Andie welcome Miranda (aka @exlibrismir) to the podcast and welcome back Emily (aka @silmaremily) to discuss every second of "Eldest," the fourth episode of season two of Rings of Power. In this episode, we discuss:

• Who the standout characters are so far this season
• Several moments taken directly from the Lord of the Rings books
• How Andie would have improved the Barrow-wight scene
• Theories about who the Stranger and Dark Wizard may be
• Adar's quick appearance and what it could mean for his character
