Recently, the Pop Docs attended an unexpected showing of The Fellowship of the Ring on a big screen, which they found to be as majestic and epic as it was when it debuted in theaters. Inspired by this opportunity, the Pop Docs decided to devote any entire episode to talking about Tolkien's world. Tune in to hear the Pop Docs wax poetically about The Lord of the Rings trilogy! Hear Joseph express his frustration that The Rings of Power diverts time and resources from The Wheel of Time! Listen as Deni discusses how The Hobbit trilogy is . . . ok! But be wary, dear listeners, for spoilers abound!
