My dear friend Angie Bailey-Rennie, who isn't really into fantasy movies--especially not movies that are four-of-so hours long--watched all three extended movies with me and is sharing her experience!

Grab your popcorn and join us for Part 1 of My Very Special Guest, Angie!

Saruman is certainly a cautionary tale, isn't it? So wrapped up in himself in his hidey-hole. We can learn so much from him...in short, don't be a dick.

Today we talk about that brave captain of Gondor, Boromir, and his bad patch. But Sean Bean's bad patch isn't as bad as it seems...listen now!

I'm so lucky to be joined by my friend Chris Rennie today, who lived in New Zealand during the filming of our favorite trilogy! Listen in for a peek inside the 'real' Middle-earth!!

Merry and Pippin kept our hearts as full as a second breakfast with the fun and the lightness they brought the Fellowship and the story of The Lord of the Rings. We could learn a thing or two from these two.

When it comes to being a kick-ass leader, you can't beat Aragorn. Or Strider. Or Ellesar, Telcontar, Thorongil, or Estel. Call him whatever you want, just don't call him late for dinner. (unless it's Éowyn's stew.)

Gimli, son of Gloin--such a diamond in the rough, a geode with glittering crystals hidden inside. A glittering crystal that burps and farts, mind you. My kind of guy.

OK, so maybe we don't have the Elven qualities of being flawless and living for thousands of years, but that doesn't mean we aren't immortal. Let's talk Legolas.

Argue with me all you want; I think ALL of the Fellowship members are the heroes of this story, but I think Frodo is the bravest.
