We brought our original amigo, Dan Coats, back to talk about Tom Bombadil, The Rings of Power, The Hunt for Gollum, and more!

Listen as Billy Boyd and Dominic Monaghan discuss their relationship with Peter Jackson, what it took to get through years of filming, and how working on Lord of the Rings changed them!

The films brought us a dark and evil Bree -- but Tolkien calls it "friendly" and "familiar"!

Dropping the Barrow-downs removes one of the most important callbacks in the final Battle of the Pelennor Fields before Minas Tirith.

Tom Bombadil is a polarizing figure in Middle-earth. Some hate him, some love him. Peter Jackson decided to completely avoid that discussion and simply excise him from the film.

The first REAL dangers outside of the Shire were cut from the films... but did that decision improve them?

Peter Jackson cut the one Hobbit who had the backbone to stand up to a Nazgul, the one who struck fear in the hearts of other Hobbits!

Peter Jackson made some pretty significant changes to Orthanc... especially when it comes to that Wizard's Duel!

We spoke with Lord of the Rings composer Howard Shore. He really goes in depth on his thoughts and composing process!

As season 2 of the Rings of Power approaches, Michael and I decided to look back at our favorite scenes, favorite characters, and favorite quotes from our favorite television show!
