In this 8th episode of "Stolen Valar," our hosts recap the Rings of Power season finale! Halbron theory is finally confirmed, Man in the Moon theory is dispelled, & more obscure details from lore are debated in this one than possibly any other. Fiona Apple receives due admiration, Sadoc is mourned, & Frankie stubbornly decides to start believing that the Stranger is Saruman, just because all the Gandalf stuff is too on the nose. You also get to hear Sam & Frankie's Christopher Lee impressions!! What's next for the show? We'll find out...send any suggestions our way, because it's a long wait until season 2—but it shall be worth it. Namárië

In this 7th episode of "Stolen Valar," our hosts dive into Dwarf names, the dull nature of orange cinema, & emphasize the importance of keeping your Wizard in the party at all times. Macbeth is also discussed, as well as some speculation about Durin's true name. Could it be...Shlomo? Legally there's no reason it can't. We finally caught up! I hope you're as impressed with that as we were. Enjoy~
