About this listen

 Michael and Nick have both viewed the critically acclaimed Peter Jackson films multiple times since their release, but neither of them have read the iconic books from J.R.R. Tolkien! So join them as they rectify this pop culture calamity by engaging in a chapter-by-chapter reaction and discussion of one of the most iconic stories of all time, including characters, events and their similarities/differences to the films, and an odd tangent here and there as well.Michael Simpson Art

    A Knife in the Dark

    Meet Michael and Nick for the twelfth time as they catch the shining glimmer of A Knife in the Dark.


    Michael wonders whether the end of the chapter was an appropriate cliff hanger, adores the tale of Tinuviel, and is beyond confused over the whereabouts of Aragorn as Frodo is stabbed by the ringwraith.


    Nick expresses his dislike for the scene change away from Frodo's perspective, further analyses the ringwraiths teamwork and abilities, and ponders the possibility of Frodo being killed off this early in the book.
