  1. The newest -- and so far, longest! -- episode of #ByTheBywater is live! It's our look back 20 years at #TheReturnOfTheKing by #PeterJackson and team, the conclusion to their massive hit trilogy adapting #TheLordOfTheRings by #Tolkien. (Links to our episodes on the other two films in our show notes!) megaphonic.fm/bythebywater/57

  2. The latest #ByTheBywater is live on #MegaphonicFm and it's time to talk about @schwindter's choice of topic, the #Noldor -- #Tolkien definitely made it so they were always extra, except when they were tired. Illustration by #JaredPechacek as ever! megaphonic.fm/bythebywater/56

  3. And the latest episode of #ByTheBywater is live on #MegaphonicFm -- and this time we're looking at one of the worst adaptations of #Tolkien ever, the #RankinBass version of _The Return of the King_, which even Rankin admitted in later years wasn't good. Listen to @schwindter and #JaredPechacek and I despair accordingly. Art as always by Jared, who said: "I put exactly as much effort into my drawing as they did into their screenplay." megaphonic.fm/bythebywater/49

  4. Full times on my end given #BytheBywater podcast prep and the like, but two quick notes:

    1) #GlassOnion was a delight of course; absolutely nodded to its #LastofSheila and #EvilUnderTheSun lineage and more, and the accidental timing of its release is deeply fortuitous.

    2) Latest Weekly Music Notes went up on Friday and do give a read and a listen. patreon.com/posts/some-weekly-
