  • Absolutely obsessed

    Perfect pod for any adoring LOTR fan. Emily and Manu are both brilliant and give caring and reverent insight. It’s really delightful. They’re both pretty opinionated, and I don’t alway agree with them, but I’m always delighted to learn (like in a deep-dive way) about the LOTR films and canon from two clever and charismatic fans.

  • This podcast whips

    I have especially loved the Andor recap episodes, Emily and Manu are both brilliant and funny, and Emily’s perspective on some of the Scottish and Irish tie ins and locations.

  • Passionate, Articulate, Interesting

    I don’t always agree with Manu and Emily on their Lord of the Rings or Star Wars takes, but they are consistently insightful and engaging when discussing material.

    I also appreciate that they go deeper than plot, themes, or even wider lore in talking about the entertainment industry and society writ large and the places LOTR and SW fall in that content.

    Both hosts offer something different, as well, leading to consistently diverse takes on material. Would hugely recommend for die-hard LoTR f... more
