It’s happening! Rings & Realms 💍 episode 1 is dropping imminently on YouTube. And now … back to filming Episode 2!

ICYMI: Rings & Realms 💍 Episode 1 is live! Dr. Maggie Parke and I, with the help of our amazing Studio Lab crew, have released so 1, have ep 2 in post, and are shooting ep 3 today. Lots of fun doing analysis of The Lord of the Rings Season 2. youtu.be/FuFTlEDO7Q8?si…

Corey and Maggie awake from their nap for Episode Four! And evil has awoken with them! And Tom Bombadil is here, too! youtu.be/ZyHORr13QhI?si…

A note on the Smooch issue. I wanted to address this early, so we can get on to the analysis of ep 7 without this oliphaunt in the room.
