Welcome to “Watch Party: Lord of the Rings”! If you‘ve just wandered in, don‘t worry, you‘re not lost! Join Jen and Michael as they delve too greedily and too deep into Middle Earth in anticipation of the upcoming Lord of the Rings series on Amazon Prime. Stay up to date on casting announcements and set leaks, speculate about the plot, all while rekindling your love of all things Tolkien. If you want to join the conversation, please email us at WatchPartyLOTR@gmail.com. We‘d love to hear from you! Hopefully Barliman Butterbur remembers to give us the message.

16 - The Lens of Adaptation
Wednesday Aug 25, 2021
Wednesday Aug 25, 2021
"I know we are going to take a very long road, into darkness; but I know I can’t turn back. It isn’t to see Elves now, nor dragons, nor mountains, that I want - I don’t rightly know what I want: but I have something to do before the end, and it lies ahead, not in the Shire. I must see it through, sir, if you understand me."
What does Amazon's move from New Zealand to UK mean for the show, and for all of our little hearts quietly breaking that we won't see New Zealand's beautiful scenery in future seasons? And the main event: we discuss our approach to analyzing cinematic adaptations of literary works.
