"We come to it at last, the great podcast of our time." – Gandalf, sort of

Intrepid hosts Lindy West and Meagan Hatcher-Mays battle common dismissals of the fantasy genre and tell us what they love and don't love about the beloved series, "The Lord Of The Rings."

And speaking of beloved, would you marry Gimli or Aragorn? Kill Frodo or Pippin? The hosts play the most epic game of Eff Marry Kill you've ever heard with the heroes from the Fellowship Of The Ring. And finally, Lindy and Meagan make TMB history with their very first guest ever.

May this episode be a light to you in dark places, when all other lights go out.
