ed Edition] in Glorious 4K!

Join Cam and Maggie dive into the second half of Peter Jackson’s glorious Two Towers adaptation and find a whole host of echoes across the Middle-earth filmography. Théoden goes full Thorin, Helm’s Deep turns into the Battle of the Five Armies, the Ents save the day with water superpowers just like Arwen did in Fellowship, Aragorn has a near death experience mirroring that of Gandalf the Grey – there’s a ton to talk about here. We also examine the big change this adaptation makes, the Scouring of the Faramir. Why is the “Boromir the White” that we know and love from the books so different here? Which characters do the changes serve, and are the filmmakers trying to set up a more dramatic arc for the character going forward? All of these questions and more are answered in this brand spankin’ new episode of Second Breakfast. Also, someone finally calls out the rampant isolationism in this world – not that it makes much of a difference. Oh well.
