The first Lord of the Rings film proves to be a huge step up from the Battle of the Five Armies. While there are still some problems (largely stemming from the fact that every scene is significantly longer than it needs to be), (Jason wrote that part) both Jason and Ryan agree that this is a pretty great film.

We discuss formalism, structuralism, whether we have the obligation to do something to benefit others if we can, and how best to address difficult obstacles in our lives.

Thanks again for listening in!
