The Hunt for Gollum vs. Rings of Power: Future of LOTR ft Luke Tazbier | The 5 Escapes Podcast Ep. 6

What happens when modern fantasy stops respecting the worlds that built it? This week on The 5 Escapes, we're joined by Luke from Carry the Day for our first full dive into fantasy. We get into The Hunt for Gollum, the impossible task of replacing Viggo Mortensen as Aragorn, Peter Jackson returning to Middle Earth, and why we're cautiously optimistic about going back to Tolkien's world. #LordOfTheRings #RingsOfPower #Tolkien #Fantasy #The5Escapes Chapters: 00:00 Welcome Luke from Carry the Day 02:59 The Hunt for Gollum 20:37 Books vs Movies: Who Owns the Character? 28:39 Did Tolkien Create Modern Fantasy? 32:21 Game of Thrones & George R.R.
