Exploring Tolkien » Peter Jackson vs. Lord of the Rings (Tolkien's Version)

About this episode

Hey there, fellow travelers!

I was recently a guest on the Exploring Tolkien podcast from TheOneRing.com. We had a great discussion looking at some of the changes in Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings films and asking the question: Are we OK with these changes?

Some of the issues we discussed include:

Do Men Want Power MORE THAN Immortality?
Did Jackson SCREW UP The Last Alliance of Men and Elves?
Does The One Ring REALLY Have A Mind Of Its Own?

To listen to the whole thing, subscribe to the Exploring Tolkien podcast by heading over to TheOneRing.com.
