Podcast: Exploring Tolkien
Episode: Clueless Elves, Big Beasts, and Bombadil Inverts Tolkien's Words
Description: Michael is back as we examine how wrong The Rings of Power treats the elves (as simple imbeciles), how the Númenoreans are now deciding rulers based on what big animals do, and how Tom Bombadil inverts one of Tolkien’s most important lines from Lord of the Rings into a disgustingly evil turn.
