The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King with Dr. Stanley Miller | Howard Shore
Q: Stan, could you let the Settlers know sort of where your passion for the Tolkien series began?
Stan relates his passion to when he fell in love with the trilogy in high school and highlights the depth of Tolkien's world-building.
Wicked | John Powell
Q: What do you think is the reason for the existence of the movie adaptation of Wicked?
I think people have been asking for a theatrical adaptation of Wicked for two decades now, and it sort of feels incomplete to the story of The Wizard of Oz.
