The 42cast Episode 205: Tolkien About Middle-Earth Part One – Coloring Outside the Lines

The 42cast

It’s a trip back to Middle-Earth this week as the cast takes an epic-length at the Amazon Prime series, The Rings of Power. In this episode the cast discusses the logic of a series that can only use the appendices of Lord of the Rings as reference. They get into the types of stories that they’re choosing to tell and whether or not there’s a significant loss of context. Along the way they also get into the casting and what they think of the portrayal of the characters. They also opine on the production values and the various controversies that surrounded this series.

Our five-minute controversy this week asks if Wizards of the Coast has overstepped with their new licensing agreement.

This week Anji, Keith, and Kimi join the cast.

Show Notes:
Wizards of the Coast tightening a hold of their IP
Golden Lasso Games
