NOTICE: This episode contains massive spoilers for the LOTR: ROP Amazon series. It assumes anyone listening will have watched all of Season One. Listen accordingly.

Writers Paul Genesse and Robert J. Defendi join host Larry D. Curtis to take a look back at the first season of Amazon's new streaming series "Lord of the Rings: Rings of Power." As well-versed storytellers and Tolkienites the trio offer both specific and broad insights, details you probably didn't notice, clues, successes and shortcoming of the first season.

They also discuss characters, moments, backflips, hopes for the future seasons and the unfortunate toxic fandom that sometimes surrounds the show.
