Joining a great many film critics and movie fans alike, the hosts of the Cinephile Hissy Fit podcast sponsored and supported by the Ruminations Radio Network are quick to genuflect at the altar of filmmaker Peter Jackson. His The Lord of the Rings trilogy came at a time after 9/11 when a lift of epic adventure and spirit was just the kind of entertainment the world needed. Those massive movies based on the books by J. R. R. Tolkien hit that sweet spot and became genre masterpieces. They deserved a series of talks on the podcast.

For their 165th episode, two Middle Earth critics, two hobbit-footed dads, and two heroic teachers,
Will Johnson and
Don Shanahan, begin the first of a three-episode series discussing Peter Jackson’s
The Lord of the Rings trilogy. Will recently devoured the recent three-night Fathom Event anniversary showings of the Extended Editions of all three films on the big screen. This first episode of the Cinephile Hissy Fit podcast covers their thoughts on how they first encountered the trilogy back in the 00s and analysis of
The Fellowship of the Ring and
The Two Towers. Come learn more and stay for the mutual love and respect for the fun movies encapsulate. Enjoy our podcast!
