At last, what you've all been waiting for . . . I discuss The Rings of Power!
My friend Richard Rohlin joins me for a wonderful conversation about the new series: what we like, what we don't like. Like so many of us, I was set up to hate the show on the front end; however, I must say - it's not THAT bad.
Sure, parts of it feel like an AI rendering of a Tolkien story. Sure, the show has little grasp on symbolism or transcendence. Sure, there are issues with conflicting types of journeys. But, all in all, I did find myself rooted in this world and even moved at certain points.
If you've been hesitant to give it a watch, I say go for it. As this is the first installment of my series on The Rings of Power, make sure you come back to work through it with us next time.
Oh, and, yes, every episode from here on out will be fresh, exciting content - I even open up with some life updates from yours truly. I will be having plenty of adventures coming up!
