SHOWNOTES: One does not simply review the Lord of the Rings trilogy... but we'll attempt to! In Part 1 of our two-part episode on arguably the greatest film trilogy of all time, Ash and Beau discuss the movie adaptations of The Fellowship of the Ring and The Two Towers. We talk the many beloved characters, iconic landscapes from the Shire to Helm's Deep, and countless memorable quotes/meme lines of these two films. So, grab some of that hobbit pipe-weed, listen along, and stay tuned for Part 2, where we'll cover The Return of the King!
