This episode we talk The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers by J. R. R. Tolkien. We battle, we make friends, and talk orcs, rings, and talking trees. 

Robert von Hagen returns to help me in this complex world. Can we get to the bottom of the towers? Gollum? In honor of the 20th anniversary of the film, we revisit Middle Earth and get into Beowulf, the long version, The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers.

Next episode will be on A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens, so read along with us and watch your favorite version (mine has the Muppets). We will be taking off the rest of December, but in January we will return with two episodes a month!
