August 18, 2021 448: SilmFilm 5-36: Sets, Locations, and Props
Silm Film 5-36 (08/12/21) Sets, Locations, and Props
Corey Olsen and Dave Kale are joined by Marie Prosser for a post-production session to discuss the possible Locations, Set Design choices, and Props that will be used in Season 5, based on listener suggestions on the messageboards. Location scouting for the Forest of Brethil, Nan Elmoth, Tarn Aeluin, and the Ascar-Gelion confluence results in choices moving forward. We also discuss the appearance of the leadership symbols of the Three Houses of the Edain - the stole of the Wise for the House of Bëor, the spear of Haleth, and the Dragon-helm of Dor-lómin.

August 05, 2021 447: SilmFilm 5-35: Season 5 Episode 10 Continued - Fingolfin's Vision
Silm Film 5-35 (07/29/21)
Corey Olsen and Dave Kale are joined by Nick Palazzo to continue discussing Episode 10. While the story of Aredhel's death is told in detail by Tolkien, the topic of this session is the most controversial adaptation choice of Season 5 - Fingolfin's vision that will lead to his fruitless big push against Angband and his eventual duel with Morgoth at the end of the season. An appearance by a surprise character and the influence of Men on the story make the final form of this episode new to everyone.
