Frodovember continues as we begin the quest to destroy the One Ring with guest Dave Jackson (the "Tales from the Backlog" podcast). Released to massive critical and financial sucess in 2001, the first film of Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings trilogy masterfully condenses and adapts the first third of Tolkien's seminal work with winning performances from an all-star cast, and all the powerful emotional depth the story contains. Bring a second breakfast, because this pod goes ever on and on.
