Pull up a chair at the It Comes and Pints Pub for an engaging discussion on The Return of the King, the grand finale of Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings trilogy. From Frodo and Sam's intense journey to Mordor to the heroics of Aragorn, Legolas, and Gimli, we cover it all—including all those multiple endings we all love.

As we navigate the emotional depths of The Return of the King, expect to revisit iconic moments like Aragorn's heartfelt tribute to the hobbits and the film's subtle depiction of the Shire. We also discuss the choice to keep Sauron as an abstract threat, enhancing the menace of villains like the Witch King, made even more epic by Howard Shore's majestic score that comprises a set of songs which underscore the epic tale of good versus evil.

Prepare for a few laughs as we share behind-the-scenes stories and outrageous "Would You Rather" scenarios. We tackle the trilogy's enduring impact, discussing how elements have aged over time and making a few predictions about future Tolkien projects like The Rings of Power. Whether you're a die-hard fan or a casual viewer, this episode promises an entertaining and thoughtful exploration of a timeless cinematic adventure.

Today we reminisce about Peter Jackson's unforgettable film, "The Two Towers." From theater posters to the stirring Last March of the Ents soundtrack, we stroll down memory lane, sharing the scenes and quotes that have etched themselves into our hearts.

Finally, we recount the epic moments and behind-the-scenes stories that bring The Two Towers to life. Hear about the physical toll on Viggo Mortensen, Orlando Bloom, and Brett Beattie during the intense Rohan chase sequence, what made Andy Serkis's dynamic performance as Gollum so special, and why Frodo, Sam, and Gollum's trek through the dead marshes remains the most horrifying moment in Middle Earth history. 

Grab a pint and join us for an evening brimming with nostalgia, excitement, and a deep appreciation for one of the most beloved films in the Lord of the Rings trilogy.

This week on It Comes in Pints, join us on an adventure into the world of Peter Jackson's 2001 adaptation of J.R.R. Tolkien's famous work, "The Fellowship of the Ring." Through dissecting what made the this movie so special, this episode is a must-listen for all hobbits, dwarves, men, elves and even a few orcs! We also debate over the film's characters and celebrate the enduring legacy of this cinematic masterpiece... We also debate who we'd fair better in a cage match against—a cave troll or Shelob—as well as what weapon of choice we would use (cue Rapunzel). 

So, grab a beverage, pull up a chair, and join the fellowship as we raise a toast to this FLAT OUT work of art.
