033 – Schrödinger’s Podcast

Join Alan, James and Sara as they avoid spoilers in this episode blurb, discuss the revelation of the Stranger’s name, weep over a powerful father-son moment, and agree that the show has gotten better – all in their discussion of the Season 2 finale of Amazon Prime Video’s The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power – ‘Shadow and Flame’.

Annatar makes sure Celebrimbor gets his point, Glüg makes a questionable career move, and Kemen still has Middle-earth’s most punchable face. From shadowy Balrog wings to a surprise appearance of a sword; from Yoda moments to another Princess Bride callback, the RoPWU team have more things. to. say.
