September 15th, 2025

ACOFAE Podcast Presents: Lord of the Rings: A broad discussion with friend of show Gene!

ACOFAE welcomes friend of show Gene for a broad discussion about the world of The Lord of the Rings, specifically the animated Hobbit film and Peter Jackson's first movie; Fellowship of the Ring. A wide-ranging discussion that starts with the lack of women in the series and ends with a pitch for Jessica Marie to sit down and watch Two Towers for reasons, ACOFAE and Gene delight in the details. Though he insists that he is not an expert, friend of show Gene is ACOFAE's expert and he shows it with deep lore drops about music,Tolkien’s life, and a love of a specific character that did NOT make it into any of the adaptations that ACOFAE are familiar with! Join Laura Marie, Jessica Marie, and Gene as they broadly discuss Bilbo, Frodo, Sam, Aragorn, and the journey they take with the One Ring, and how that little piece of jewelry is big enough to shape the world.
