Ep-88 The Two Towers (2002 film)

The Battle of Helm’s Deep set the standard for medieval warfare
put to screen, but there’s a lot else in The Two Towers that’s
worth revisiting. Peter Jackson’s masterwork continues with part
two of The Lord of the Rings by J. R. R. Tolkien, the
difficult-to-do middle movie in the epic trilogy. Luke &
James discuss all the ways it succeeds and its occasional
missteps along the way.


Topics: Andy Serkis’ legendary portrayal of Gollum, the saggy
middle, the absence of the battle with Shelob from the film,
Elijah Wood as Frodo and beyond, a soapbox moment about the
accusations of “Mary Sue” in today’s culture, Eowyn & Arwen’s
role in this male-dominated movie, Faramir’s changes from book to
movie, a spoiler-free comparison with Game of Thrones season
8x03, the carryover from this movie into the Marvel Cinematic
Universe, a quick BOOK GIVEAWAY announcement for GOOD OMENS, and
a final decision is made about which film we like better!
