The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom (2023) Part One   Manu (@ManuclearBomb) and Emily (@JRRTweetien) go moblin mode on the newest Zelda title, "Tears of the Kingdom!" We construct some takes and fuse our brain cells together as we dive headfirst into the game's design, narrative, and mechanics. Oh, and we're back with Token Tolkien as we look at the extremely LOTR moments in Hyrule! This one's mostly spoiler free, but we'll be back with a follow-up discussion later this summer for all the story stuff! --- Become a Patron of My Brother, My Captain, My Podcast   My Brother, My Captain, My Podcast Reference Guide My Brother, My Captain, My Podcast on Twitter My Brother, My Captain, My Podcast on Instagram Manu's Twitter Emily's Twitter

Emily and Manu are taking a mini break in the month of June, so we are making some of our old patreon exclusives available public as we gear up to cover The Return of the King!

 

The Road Goes Ever On, and this time it circles back to Fellowship of the Ring! In our first episode about the Extended Edition scenes, we lay out our general thoughts about the Extended Edition adaptations before diving into the choicest additions to the first film. This includes an extended introduction to Bilbo, more time in Rivendell, and Christmas morning with Galadriel.

We welcome our friend Wilf (@socialaskan) to discuss the study of history and the various pedagogies that inform how we conceive of the past, and how that plays out in JRR Tolkien's framing of the The Lord of the Rings and Legendarium, as well as the Peter Jackson's "end of history" take for the films!
