  • My Liver's Still Stained From Eating Trix | Of Thingol and Melian

    Maddie, Nick, and Lee discuss terrible book design (skip to 32:19 if you'd rather not listen to them talk about book covers you can't see, or watch on YouTube). Then they finally move to the next chapter of the Silmarillion "Of Thingol and Melian" and consider some of the metaphysical and *perhaps* incarnational elements of this short but provocative chapter.

    Oh and there are cereal reminiscences and then the trio recasts the doomed new LOTR production.
