Episode 7: Lord of the Rings Part 1 with Dallas Amico

Even the smallest podcast can change the course of the future. In Part 1 of this mega-pod, our friend Dallas Amico taps in to tackle the entire Tolkien ouevre: the books, the Peter Jackson movies, and the new Rings of Power show from Amazon. Spoiler: we like it all! But Dallas doesn't disappoint: he brings several spicy takes on Peter Jackson's trilogy. Topics include 1) critical changes between the books and the film; 2) the environmentalist messages in Tolkien's work, and 3) the similarities between the Grateful Dead and the Lord of the Rings. Yes, we're serious about that last one! Part 2 of this pod will post on Friday.
