The Pod Of Lost Play

Can The Rings of Power be great fantasy without being faithful Tolkien?

In Episode 2 of The Pod Of Lost Play, Cameron and Colin revisit Middle-earth to discuss the highs and lows of The Rings of Power's first two seasons, their hopes for Season 3, and the complicated relationship between adaptation and faithfulness to the source material.

First, though, there's trouble in Narnia. A moment in the new trailer appears to involve the destruction of Oxford's legendary Eagle and Child pub, the historic gathering place of Tolkien, C. S. Lewis, and the Inklings. What should we make of that?

Plus, another round of High, Low & Grindylow and a new debate around The Fireside Council.

The Pod Of Lost Play is a weekly father-and-son conversation about Tolkien, the Inklings, fantasy, film, television, and the stories we love.
