The Dead Marshes
Manage episode 306217328 series 2999744
Join your two hosts Johnny and Dave, aka The Mellon Heads, for some laughs, interesting facts, riddles and our takes and views on some of our favourite aspects of both the movies and the books. No matter how much of a casual or die-hard fan you are, if you want to have a good time, this is the podcast for you!
On the episode this week we discuss one of the creepiest and most mysterious locations in Middle-earth - The Dead Marshes. We see these wetlands fantastically portrayed in Peter Jackson's depiction and it gives us some idea of what this area could have looked like. But what happened here before the events of Lord of the Rings? Who were the dead people in the water? Why did the dead light candles? And why was Frodo drawn to them? We answer these questions and take a look at other events and wars that led to this wasteland getting its famous name - The Dead Marshes!
As always, you'll be greatly entertained with some fun facts, interesting tidbits, music and funny soundbites! Please get in touch with us on social media! We want this to be an interactive experience for the listeners so we would love to hear all your comments and suggestions on any of our social media platforms.
