Join hosts Caleb and David as we fill in for our good friend Andy on his podcast, The Galactic Core Podcast! And we are talking ALL things "The Rings of Power".

We open the episode discussing the most common gripes from the fandom regarding season 1 of the series and if we agree with them or not, as well as what our own personal gripes were with the season. We also give our TOP 5 moments from the season, with a few OLI's! (Outside looking in)


After our discussions about the first season, we dive into season 2. What to expect, analysis on some of the things we saw in the trailers released so far, if we think it will be better than season 1, and more! We also contemplate what seasons will be better by the end of it, House of the Dragon S2 or The Rings of Power S2?

Finally, we discuss the upcoming projects coming out of Middle-Earth: The Hunt for Gollum and War of the Rohirrim.

All of this and MORE!
