In this bonus episode of The Cast Beyond the Wall, hosts Caleb Masters and Daniel Stull are rejoined by guest Daniel Bokemper from The Cinematropolis to review the first two episodes of Amazon’s The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power. The conversation starts with a discussion about each host’s relationship to the works of Tolkien before they provide a review of the series premiere episodes, “A Shadow of the Past,” and “Adrift.” We close the show by discussing whether we’ll stick with The Rings of Power for the long haul. Today’s podcast topics include:
- What’s our take on J.R.R. Tolkien’s original works and Peter Jackson’s trilogy 20 years later?
- Does the series premiere live up to its potential?
- What exactly is The Rings of Power about?
- Who are the key players?
- This show costs how much to make!?
- Who is the stranger?
According to the IMDB synopsis, Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power is described as: “Epic drama set thousands of years before the events of J.R.R. Tolkien’s ‘The Hobbit’ and ‘The Lord of the Rings’ follows an ensemble cast of characters, both familiar and new, as they confront the long-feared re-emergence of evil to Middle-earth.”
