## Resource

It’s canon episode 100, the listener-picked film: Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring, released is the hazy mists of time: 2001. The much-loved first film in Peter Jackson’s Middle Earth trilogy finally gets its due on MYFF. It’s one of Joe’s faves of all time - he says it’s art. Adam is a little more chilly on it, has this rewatch softened his heart and made him an admirer? They discuss the love and craft that went into the flick, the beautiful Balrog, Sean Bean’s film-stealing Boromir, the wrong lesson Hollywood learned from Lotr’s boffo box office and cultural impact, plus the artistic folly of going back to recapture magic, and lots lots more.
