Time to take a long expected journey with actor and director Joe Raik as we delve deep into JRR Tolkein's seminal masterpiece, The Lord of the Rings. As is fitting a saga of this stature, we simply couldn't complete our quest in one episode. This week we'll start with our childhood memories, our favorite moments, and we'll just dip our toes in the shallow end of the cringe pool when we talk about Middle Earth's racial politics.
