New Line Cinema's announcement of The Hunt for Gollum as part of their official Lord of the Rings universe has sparked heated debate, and we're diving right into it.

While there isn't a lot to say that hasn't been said, Ben & Jess attempt to succinctly close out "The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power" season 2... and fail. BUT we share our thoughts on what it was like watching the series alongside you and look forward to what might happen in season 3 when it premieres 5 years from now.
