Get ready to dork out with your fork out! Continuing on to the main courses of our film feast, we're diving deep into Peter Jackson's groundbreaking adaptation that launched a thousand cosplay outfits: The Fellowship of the Ring (2001).

Join Matt and Jonathan for an episode so it necessitated two guests! They welcome the ultimate Middle-earth power couple, Katie Duennebier and Andrew Hollingworth, for a breakdown that's more loaded than Gandalf's fireworks bag. We'll explore how this film transformed blockbuster cinema, geek culture, and New Zealand tourism in one fell swoop. Expect passionate debates about practical effects, Viggo Mortensen's method acting, and exactly how many Fellowship characters that Andrew can impersonate.

The Fellowship of the Ring is streaming on multiple platforms (free on Max), so grab your elvish wine, prepare your most dramatic Aragorn impression, and join our quest through cinema's most beloved fantasy epic!
