The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (2001)

 

Manu (@ManuclearBomb) and Emily (@JRRTweetien) are finally here, at the end of all things Fellowship. It's an action-packed episode, with memorable set pieces and heartbreaking moments abound. With all these swords and tears, it's a perfect opportunity to talk about this film's take on masculinity, a softer incarnation than usually seen in pop culture!
