Pop Medieval is back for Season 4! Doc and Nina discuss the most expensive television show ever, "The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power." Their mutual consensus: negative, to varying degrees. Why does this show "insist upon itself?"

Topics include: Nina's GED in Lotrology, David Bowie's codpiece, elven swimming abilities, how to time soap opera pacing, Thomas Kinkade, the demon children of elf heaven, Spirit Halloween Numinorians, and how any show -- regardless of the subject matter -- can be improved with dinosaurs.
