New Line Cinema's announcement of The Hunt for Gollum as part of their official Lord of the Rings universe has sparked heated debate, and we're diving right into it. Why do we think this spin-off is an objectively bad idea? We break down the creative, narrative, and franchise implications of this bold move.

An OFFICIAL Lord of the Rings movie has come and gone with very little to do... and it's a shame. While Ben and Jess are able to find real positives with the animation, The War of the Rohirrim, we're still left with the feeling that the movie was just...

While there isn't a lot to say that hasn't been said, Ben & Jess attempt to succinctly close out "The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power" season 2... and fail. BUT we share our thoughts on what it was like watching the series alongside you and look forward to what might happen in season 3 when it premieres 5 years from now.

Do you realize the series will likely conclude in 2030? Like... will we even make it til then?
Better in 1080p. Available on YouTube!
