We have something new for you today! Mostly because we couldn't stop talking about it off mic and we all happened to be in the same room for once, we decided to jump into our NBI hot-seats to talk about how we would adapt stories from The Lord of the Rings if an eccentric space-loving billionaire threw lots and lots of money at us to do it.

Tolkien lore spoilers abound, so take care if you happening to be reading The Silmarillion, but no spoilers for the actual Rings of Power TV show. 

Plus: Bad luck for Anne Boleyn, Orly's fee, Time's Square at 5pm on a Thursday, a smokin' Sauron, and the dark weird forest of interesting turns.
