That’s right. I will be taking my love of the show and my ignorance for its specifics to a new level. I will be recording weekly recaps of the episodes with some of my friends from various forms of Philly comedy. Each week I will be joined with some variation of Andrew Stanton, Jessica Ross, Kevin Petit and Corin Wells and likely other special guests. We will discuss the show and give our take on its events, so listen after you watch it. Though I’ll fight against it every step of the way, the differences between the show and the books will likely get brought up. As will my lack of retention when it comes to the show’s details likely leading to a weekly debate about why I’m even bothering with this. I have a cat named Arya. That’s reason enough. The show premieres Sunday, 3/31 (AKA Easter). The podcast should be up on Monday. I don’t anticipate this being like the Gettin Close podcast in terms of length. So, you can shut up about that now. Name TBA. Hope you listen and hope you like!
Khazad-damn!: ROP S02E08
In this episode of the Beacons are Lit we’re discussing The Rings of Power S02E08. This is the season finale, which means after this episode, much like the Balrog of the Misty Mountains, the Rings of Power disappears for a long period only to come back when Amazon digs too deep. The Dwarves show up to save whoever is left at Eregion, Celebrimbor tells Sauron he’s going to the bad place, King Durin goes toe to head to horn with the Balrog, Adar gets a glow up shortly before getting Jon Snowed, Elendil has r-u-n-n-o-f-t as Numenor turns on the faithful, Isildur leaves his babe behind to go back home, Kemmen continues to grow his hater base, Cirdan is nowhere to be seen, and lots more for better or worse. We’re on another break, but will return soon with our awards episodes for The Two Towers and Return of the King. Lots more planned… but not scheduled.
