What's your poison? Beer? Wine? Mead? Or what about just having a night in smoking weed from your pipe?

We are binging through all the alcohols consumed in Middle-Earth by all the different races. Would you ever find an orc drinking Elven alcohol or would you ever see an Ent chilling with the broskies having pre-drinks at the Entmoot?

We discuss all these and quiz eachother on the different inns, pubs and taverns in Middle-Earth along with some brilliant games and Mad Libz!

This is all encompassing a drinking game throughout so please feel free to grab a can and play along with us 😁🍻

Please drink responsibly.

The mysterious and haunting beings in Tolkien's Middle-Earth that are too terrifying to be included in Peter Jackson's films.

We don't shy away from them here as we discuss the story of the hobbits creepy encounter with them! 💀 Where did the spirits originally come from? Why are they protecting the burial grounds? Why didn't they take the Ring and where does their allegiance lie?

We answer all of these questions and even discuss some possible names of the Barrow-Wights that we know about! The scariest part about this episode as always is the stupid jokes and puns heard throughout, enjoy! 😁

On today's episode, Dave and Johnny break down The Rings of Power Season 2 New Official Teaser Trailer!

How does it compare with Season 1? We look at all the tiny details and try to explain whats going on in our opinion and throw a dash of comedic stupidity in the mix. Of course this conversation gets into wild theories and segweys into other LOTR and general geeky nonsense as you're well used to if you're a regular listener. However, you will find yourself informed and entertained nontheless.

We also break down the Behind The Scenes video released by Prime on the same day. Have a listen and let us know your thoughts!

On todays episode of The Council of Elrond, we talk about the ever secretive and elusive Blue Wizards. These are the two lesser known wizards who roamed Middle-earth which make up the 5 istari (wizards) along with Gandalf, Saruman and Radagast. Why don't we know much about them? Do they appear or get mentioned in Peter Jacksons movies? What area of Middle-earth did they live in? All these questions are looked at and your two hosts give their insights (lol) and opinions on these mystical mavericks.

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!

Today you have been summoned for jury duty. The defendant, Gollum. Johnny is backing his corner as the defense and Dave as the prosecutor.

Your duty is to listen to both sides of Gollums story and come up with a verdict. His life is in your hands. Is Gollum Good or Evil? You decide.

As a continuation of the series Tolkien vs Jackson, where we discussed many of the changes the films made from the books, we wanted to spend more time to explore the changes of Sarumans Demise and also the omission of the final chapter of the Return of the King book - The Scouring of the Shire. You will find out what ACTUALLY happened at the end of the final book and our thoughts on the deviation. As always, you'll have humour,  hidden details, interesting tidbits and funny soundbites.
