Hosts Will Rose and Joshua Noel are joined by one of the esteemed Tolkien Heads, Nick Polk! Why were the Ents created? What role did the Huorns have in the battle? How did Saruman create the Uruk-Hai and half-orcs? How important was the battle of Hornburg? What can we learn about redemption, leadership, and pastoring from King Théoden? What can the strategic importance of Helm's Deep teach us about the importance of the war in Ukraine today? How did the movie and book differ in the telling of this battle in Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers? Is nature and creation more reliable than industry? How did the Valars, Yavanna and Aulë, factor into the foretelling of this battle? Was the battle of helms.deep the most important battle in Arda? How pivotal is this to the story of LOTR? How did a 20 page chapter become most of the film? Is a focus on industry at the cost of nature, a moral evil? We discuss all this and much more in this one!
