Gollum is bad ... or is he? We complete our trilogy-within-a-trilogy with one last deep dive into The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers, including the possible alternative ending for Gollum put forward by J.R.R. Tolkien himself.

You can't spell "hope" without at least one jovial "ho ho ho!" Which is totally the reason why we've published Part 2 of our (re)read of The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers during the Christmas season.

We loved The Fellowship of the Ring. Will the second one live up to the first? The epic (re)read saga continues with part two of JRR Tolkien's fantasy trilogy: The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers!

It's Morgan's birthday (kind of), which means we break all the rules ... much like Disney's 2001 film, Atlantis: The Lost Empire! Which is a movie. That we're talking about on (Re)Read. A podcast about rereading books. 

Grab the scuba gear and the bottle of whiskey as we plum the depths of a film that Disney would rather you forget!
