79. Tolkien’s Christmas poem was lost for 80 years!

In 1936, Tolkien wrote a poem published in an obscure school magazine–and it was only found again 10 years ago! Michael and Jonathan look at how the poem was found, what the poem means, and what makes it unique in the landscape of Tolkien’s creativity.

In our extended episode (available for our members) we debate whether the Lord of the Rings can be considered a Christmas movie (there’s a lot of leeway if Die Hard is a Christmas movie, right?!).
