One podcast to rule them all! It’s the last episode of 2021 and the boys are walking their big, hairy, Hobbit feet back to December 19th, 2001 to celebrate the 20th anniversary of Peter Jackson’s epic trilogy opener, THE LORD OF THE RINGS: THE FELLOWSHIP OF THE RING. And throw on your fanciest wizard robe and polish your staff, because the boys are celebrating…themselves! Yes, it’s the 2nd Annual Golden Sheila Awards! YOU SHALL NOT PASS up Episode 67 of Opening Weekend!
“I wish it need not have happened in my time,” said Frodo.
“So do I,” said Gandalf, “and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide.
All we have to decide is which song shall win the Golden Sheila for Best Hand-Fart.”
It’s December 2001 and The Fellowship of the Ring are being terrorized by Saruman and pursued by ravenous orcs.
Meanwhile, in December 2021, that same Fellowship are being terrorized by Omicron and reviewed by ravenous dorks!
While Sam and Frodo were forming a Fellowship in Middle Earth, Dan and Jason were forming their own Fellowship in Middle Village (Well, Astoria, but close enough). Jason wanted to invite Merry and Pippin but Dan said “Over my dead man-flesh!”
Meanwhile, Fred was off in Cleveland playing the great Elvish composer, “Isengard Balrog.” (Who ended up changing his name to "Irving Berlin", because it sounded less Jewish)
If you thought Gandalf perishing in the Mines of Moria was depressing, wait until ya hear the one about Fred’s dead grandma!
GIMLI some more of that, ‘miright?!?!
And moving from self-indulgent melodrama to self-indulgent mega-nostalgia, the boys take some time to pat themselves on the back for a year well done and hand out the 2nd Annual Golden Sheila Awards!
You’ll be GaLADriel you tuned into Episode 67!
