EGSM 4 - Fellowship of the Trivia
🕑 Added 2020-11-06 18:01:02 +0000 UTCThis is the first of three episodes about Lord of the Rings, since it turns out the Rusty Quill crew are very into Tolkien (whodathunk!). The other two episodes will be coming up later on in the run of the show.
For our first venture into Middle Earth, Helen is joined by Lydia, Annie, and Nico to discuss our initial forays into the Lord of the Rings; the making, impact, and experience of the films; and how the movies got the Elves wrong.
Top quote: “Not all that wanders is lost; well, maybe stop wandering and do your job.”

Helen Gould forcing herself to read book introductions. IMO, introductions are just one major spoiler and should be placed at the end for when you're done reading the thing and have time for a little quiet contemplation. I read this introduction for a translation of The Mabinogion that I got for my birthday a couple of years ago and regretted it deeply. Fast forward to the end of 2020 and I still haven't finished the rest of the book. Never say you're sorry, Helen.

Dear Sam. Sean Astin was robbed of an Oscar nomination.

Omg Annie bringing her copy and having passages marked out to discuss is the best thing I've ever heard and it makes my little English major heart sing

This was awesome! My friends and I do a Lord of the Rings Marathon/drinking game every year. We mostly make the same jokes and reference the same trivia each year. This has given me a few nuggets that are sure to impress! Thank you very much.
