19. The Rings of Power IN-DEPTH Review : Episode 7 : Shadow and Flame. And a Leaf.
In our longest review yet, Jonathan, Michael, and Dan stand amazed at the volcano survivability rate in Middle-earth, stare bemused at Galadriels’ all new personality, sit frustrated at how the Harfoots apparently forgot their traditions, and collapse with frustration at the Mithril (aka Mithricillin) storyline being foisted on us. And there’s a leaf that delved too deep. BECOME A PATRON! Get access to the extended edition of this podcast, our private Discord chat, messageboards, and comments! Click here!

17. The Wisest Elves – Of the Sindar – The Silmarillion – 11
In “Of the Sindar”, Tolkien returns to the OTHER elves–the ones who never left Middle-earth for Valinor. These elves created the fairest dwelling that has ever been east of the sea, worked with the Dwarves, and shielded themselves from Morgoth. Join Jonathan, Michael, and Dan as they once again test their Tolkien aptitude with “All that is gold does not glitter”, and take a brief look back two decades to how media looked at fandom (the word “toxic” wasn’t automatically attached to it).
