WLM - The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers
Added 2022-09-01 17:23:35 +0000 UTCOn this month’s WLM, the gang is chatting about the fantastic second installment of one of the greatest film trilogies of all time, The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers!
In the extended edition, how hilarious are all the additional Christopher Lee puttering around his house scenes? Has Ian McKellen been any better than his transformation from Gandalf the Gray to Gandalf the White? And how great does Aragorn look for 87!?! PLUS: Gandalf insures the life of “Gandalf the Gray” for a surprisingly large amount!
The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers stars Elijah Wood, Ian McKellen, Viggo Mortensen, Orlando Bloom, Sean Astin, Billy Boyd, Dominic Monaghan, Miranda Otto, Bernard Hill, Christopher Lee, John-Rhys Davies, Liv Tyler, Andy Serkis, Hugo Weaving, David Wenham, Sean Bean, John Noble, and Brad Dourif as Wormtongue; directed by Peter Jackson.

2024-11-28 11:42:36 +0000 UTCCan't believe we got the final LOTR!! Thanks so much. Watching Rifftrax's rendition of the films followed by y'all's WLMs during a particularly lengthy bout of work thangs. Great times as ever. Here's hoping for HP5 for the final commentary of the year. :) Stay safe out there, don't forget to wear the blue!

2024-11-14 08:50:07 +0000 UTCSo you could build on the Merry and Pippen entdraught thing. So they do get larger, permanently. They go down in hobbit records books as the largest hobbits ever. So they could totally use this ent water as hobbit PEDs for whatever sports are popular in the shire. Yeah the East/West racism is pretty obvious. It was mellowed a little by the fact that big hero Aragorn was called "Lean, dark, tall," and imagined by many to be Persian or Indian in skin tone. Sorry I am behind. I intermittently get chunks of time to catch up on your content. My favorite podcast and I am always sniveling "well in the book..."

2022-09-04 22:32:24 +0000 UTCI enjoy Dourif in all the weirdo roles he gets, but he was so good in dramatic roles like Cuckoo's Nest, Mississippi Burning, Wise Blood....I wish he would have gotten more of those. It seems like I remember a behind-the-scenes from Two Towers where someone commented that he was a weird guy though - so maybe all the weird guy roles are more fitting.

2022-09-04 15:07:14 +0000 UTCoh my God amazing. Uh mazing! Peter Jackson's editor used a J Cut!!!

2022-09-04 11:54:34 +0000 UTCNeed moment: Mortensen broke a toe in the scene where Aragorn kicked the Uruk-hai helmet in anger after he thought that Merry and Pippin had been killed

2022-09-02 23:09:21 +0000 UTCThe boys not seeming to understand that the nanny is about a bunch of rich business weirdos faxing each other like they’re texting is the joke.

2022-09-02 22:48:48 +0000 UTCClassic ep. Rings of Power has a lot of potential but a mixed bag so far. It may be a better show taken as a whole so I might wait until more episodes drop to catch up. In the meantime, I'm adding the WLM on Return of the King to my most anticipated of 2023 and I'm going to listen to Fellowship now thank you.

2022-09-01 23:48:13 +0000 UTCNerd moment: The orc liquor that the Uruks force down Merry's throat is actually glycerin + grape juice, if the commentary is to be believed.
Marc Wilczynski
2022-09-01 23:26:25 +0000 UTCI’d watch a show about this Elven country club. It’s probably pretty exclusive. The only time you’ll see a dwarf there is if he’s carrying some elves clubs because you know Elrond isn’t allowing carts.

Michael Daniels
2022-09-01 20:39:17 +0000 UTCNice. Nerd time: Orlando Bloom hopping on that horse looks so fluid because IT'S 100% REAL. Bloom broke a rib doing it, too.

Eren Keskin
2022-09-01 18:49:36 +0000 UTCI can't remember the last time I watched this movie on its own. After Aragorn's speech at the end of Fellowship I'm so amped up that this gets played immediately. LET'S HUNT SOME ORC!
MK
2022-09-01 18:26:44 +0000 UTCI've only ever seen these films once in theaters...but TT was definitely the best outta the trilogy for me.
Frank Grimes
2022-09-01 18:25:31 +0000 UTCYES!! I'm listening now and so happy you all are back!! Hell of a thing with which to start.

2022-09-01 18:21:45 +0000 UTCI'm so excited for this one!

Nena Aguilar
2022-09-01 17:42:27 +0000 UTCYes! I've been waiting for this one! Hopefully there will be lots of Faramir vomiting when he sees the hobbits!
Graham Richardson
2022-09-01 17:34:20 +0000 UTCBest movie of the trilogy, looking forward to listening to it.

2022-09-01 17:32:24 +0000 UTCThank you so much, guys. This dropped at a moment I really needed it.
