Happy Holidays and Happy New Year, Tolkien Poppers!
Today’s episode is an audio version of an essay I wrote for The Tolkien Society’s journal Mallorn entitled “Middle-earth in South Park: ‘The Return of the Fellowship of the Ring to the Two Towers’ as Parody.”
Stay tuned for some exciting Tolkien guests in the New Year. I hope that your Yuletide is filled with plenty of Hobbit-sized meals and equal parts quality time with your friends and family.
Peace!
My friend Tillich Today designed some graphics and merch for Tolkien Pop! and you can get a shirt and/or a sticker from his website! https://byte-geist-shop.fourthwall.com/products/tolkien-pop
He’s collaborated with (Re)thinking Faith and has an amazing line of art and original designs that have a pop culture and philosophy vibe that I freaking love. You can see how he really captured my love for punk and Tolkien with his style. So, if you want to supportTolkien Pop! or Tillich Today, go get yourself some merch!
My book Tolkien and Pop Culture: Volume I is now available! This book is a selection of my Substack posts from the past couple of years, cleaned up, and formatted for publication. For the first time, you can get all these essays in print or in your Kindle library. It’ll look great on your shelf and be available for your own Tolkien purposes!
