The last part of the last movie has finally arrived. It took less time for Frodo and Sam to take the ring to Mount Doom, but we made it. In this episode we talk about Huge giving stage directions to Liv Tyler, the Elves discussing what to do with Bilbo, too many Eagles and not enough Eagles, Aragorn getting cold feet during his big speech, a surviving Wraith coming back for revenge on the anniversary of Weathertop, and so much more.
 
A day may come when we stop podcasting about Lord of the Rings, but it is not this day. We have more to say about Return of the King, the music of Lord of the Rings, maybe the Hobbit series and animated movies, the books??, the Rings of Power, and other special episodes taking us back to the original trilogy. Thank you, our fellowship, for joining us. Rate and Review info below!
