Ep-88 The Two Towers (2002 film)
The Battle of Helm\u2019s Deep set the standard for medieval warfare put to screen, but there\u2019s a lot else in The Two Towers that\u2019s worth revisiting. Peter Jackson\u2019s masterwork continues with part two of The Lord of the Rings by J. R. R. Tolkien, the difficult-to-do middle movie in the epic trilogy. Luke & James discuss all the ways it succeeds and its occasional missteps along the way.
Topics: Andy Serkis\u2019 legendary portrayal of Gollum, the saggy middle, the absence of the battle with Shelob from the film, Elijah Wood as Frodo and beyond, a soapbox moment about the accusations of \u201cMary Sue\u201d in today\u2019s culture, Eowyn & Arwen\u2019s role in this male-dominated movie, Faramir\u2019s changes from book to movie, a spoiler-free comparison with Game of Thrones season 8x03, the carryover from this movie into the Marvel Cinematic Universe, a quick BOOK GIVEAWAY announcement for GOOD OMENS, and a final decision is made about which film we like better!\xa0
