Join Alan, James, and Sara as they ponder Pelargir, ruminate about Rhûn, admire Adar, and linger on Lindon in the second half of our post-season review of Season 2 of Amazon Prime Video's The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power!
We talk through the remaining storylines in the show, including high praise for some, and... less than that for others. Spoilers: all three of us gave S2 a better grade than S1, but the show's not on the Honor Roll quite yet.

034 – Most Valuable Dwarf Award
The envelope, please... Join Alan, Sara, and James as they talk about costumes, casting, and Khazad-dûm (it’s alliteration, folks) in what is only the first half of our post-season review of Season 2 of Amazon Prime Video’s The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power!
We give well-deserved praise to Bear McCreary, wonder where Círdan disappeared to, and chat about fan reception of the (in our opinion) improved second season of the show. Also, we talk about three of the show’s story lines, saving the rest for next week!

033 – Schrödinger's Podcast
Join Alan, James, and Sara as they avoid spoilers in this episode blurb, discuss the revelation of the Stranger's name, weep over a powerful father-son moment, and agree that the show has gotten better - all in their discussion of the Season 2 finale of Amazon Prime Video's The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power - 'Shadow and Flame'.
Annatar makes sure Celebrimbor gets his point, Glüg makes a questionable career move, and Kemen still has Middle-earth's most punchable face. From shadowy Balrog wings to a surprise appearance of a sword; from Yoda moments to another Princess Bride callback, the RoPWU team have more things. to. say.

032 – Under His Thumb
Join Alan, James, and Sara as they mourn Mírdania, remember Rían, and are apprehensive for Arondir in their discussion of Season 2, Episode 7 of The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power - 'Doomed to Die'.
Celebrimbor enjoys a cuppa during a delightful delusion, Glüg considers organizing an Uruk labor union, and Mister Mouse proves there's a glitch in the Matrix. From mountains made of Lego® bricks to Mírdania's unexpected battlefield knowledge; from Starship lyrics to Princess Bride quotes, the RoPWU team continue to have things. to. say.

031 – Tom's Trolley Problem
Listen in as Alan, Sara, and James talk through the things they love - and the things they don't love so much - about Season 2, Episode 6 of The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power - 'Where is He?' |
While we still ask that question about Celeborn, it's Adar asking the question about whatever Halbrand is going by these days. From the next-level gaslighting of Celebrimbor to the pronunciation of smial; from the amazing horns of Númenor to Disa's new bat-signal, the RoPWU team have got opinions. And yes, that includes the ripped-from-context use of an iconic book and movie line.
