- 4:58We just did our off. Hers episode there and then we
- 5:02have our great newly released the Art accosting blogcast After
- 5:07Dark where we talk about what film Daniel.
- 5:13The Lord of the Rings, The Fellowship of the Ring?
- 5:16Yeah that was a fun run to edit. It was and I'll tell you why
- 5:22because it's after dark. You guys are having a few
- 5:24drinks. He drinks.
- 5:27And like as I'm editing it you could just slowly hear their
- 5:32descent into drunkenness true or just very passionate about Lord
- 5:40of the Rings. I mean basically we did the
- 5:42entire thing by memory to the slides everything we just close
- 5:47to tears a couple times I did cry at the end or was it the
- 5:51beginning? I remember Daniel, but I cried
- 5:54over Gandalf at one point understandable.
- 5:57The nerd. We need a sound.
- 6:00I know that just says, nerd. We should all do it together.
- 6:05All three of us, doing it as like a sound bite.
- 6:07Oh, that's a good one. Okay, yeah, let's do that.
- 6:10I love that everyone's listening in, on our Blog cast impromptu
- 6:13meeting as an episode. So yeah.
- 6:19So this week, we're doing things a little differently.
- 6:21We will not be giving you a new episode, we are currently on
- 6:24break. So Daniel will actually Playing
- 6:27us a 10 to 15-minute clip from our patreon exclusive episodes

- 6:49about orc, Daddy's Gandalf for Frodo, stab faces, our, and Fat
- 6:57equation with elves. We do some impersonations
- 7:01Elizabeth does a real great Liv Tyler as Arwen impression that I
- 7:06just think it's worth the subscription.
- 7:09It's all good stuff. It's all excellent and
- 7:12everybody. I hope you enjoy the art
- 7:15accostumed blogcast patreon episode of The Fellowship of the
- 7:19Rings future, Daniel hit it. And I love the cave troll.
- 7:33That's how you do a troll. I hate the cave.
- 7:34Troll thing is it scary. The thing is scary.
- 7:39Like every time I watched it, this is a scene that may be the
- 7:42most uncomfortable because you really think Frodo is going to
- 7:45die, right? I mean he does gets to have
- 7:49Danny does one of his famous ugly Frodo, stabbed faces
- 7:52Islands, one of my favorites actually but I don't know.
- 7:56Just the thought like the truth. I don't like it.
- 8:01She said next prey. Also Gandalf.
- 8:10Clearly knows that there's something like a balrog in the
- 8:13mines of Moria that also should have been a red flag.
- 8:17I know that he said, let the ring bear decide but I also
- 8:20would have been like, oh, by the way, all the dwarves are dead
- 8:23and there's a giant fiery fiery like skull demon down there,
- 8:28like you can. Not give him the eighth, the
- 8:31information to make an informed decision.
- 8:37He withheld, crucial information from Frodo.
- 8:42Well he pays for it with his life that's trimmed get the
- 8:47famous scene where Gandalf says You shall not pass and he falls
- 8:52before it Fly you fools this part.
- 8:55I don't remember saying this film for the first time as a kid
- 8:59actually. Hi.
- 9:00I'm Maria. Imagine I was very disturbed.
- 9:04Probably, I don't really remember.
- 9:06It's like such a vague memory because it's been up.
- 9:08You know? It's been around as long as I
- 9:10feel like I've been alive at this point.
- 9:12It's been 20 years. Yeah, it's insane.
- 9:15Also, there's a shot when they leave and there's a shot that's
- 9:20used in all the promotion of Lord of the Rings but never
- 9:23actually happens. It's all the Moria Orcs leaving
- 9:26Moria and chasing the fellowship and I I wish that got included
- 9:31because the work they did on the costumes.
- 9:33Were networks are like actually really brilliant.
- 9:36Yes, I actually love this because you can see that chain
- 9:38mail I was talking about earlier and I'm like yeah, it looks like
- 9:41chain mail, right? And the helmets and it's just
- 9:45all so good and you never I guess to people listening.
- 9:49Can't see what we're talking about but we'll put in the notes
- 9:51but it's such a great scene, it is and like I just the way they
- 9:56did the chain mail really blows my mind because it just It
- 9:59doesn't look like little tiny plastic washers.
- 10:02It just doesn't right. So good.
- 10:07The hobbits are disturbed because I just watched her old
- 10:09pal Gandalf fall into the pits of Hell.
- 10:12Merry and Pippin or not the same after this point.
- 10:15No. Because a lot of this has to do
- 10:18with merry and Pippin, fucking it up inside the caves most of
- 10:22all Pippin, which Gandalf holds a grudge and he holds his Grudge
- 10:27for a little while, so rightfully So don't forget that
- 10:31one Pippin. No, no.
- 10:37But then we finally make it to the woods and make it to low
- 10:42Florian and we get to see Hall dear.
- 10:45He's one of the elves who works for our favorite boss.
- 10:49Cate Blanchett as Galadriel. Yeah, and I love Hall.
- 10:52Dear, he appears in this film and the two towers and he's just
- 10:55a great character. He is, I'm like, he's clearly
- 10:59Like the business manager, you found sir.
- 11:04He's a bouncer of lothlórien for glad role he's just like, you
- 11:09cannot bring the ring in here, you can't?
- 11:12No, no, don't do it. But of course Galadriel is like,
- 11:17do it. Bring them in.
- 11:18Yeah, and this is when like you're talking about earlier, we
- 11:21really get to see the difference between the Rivendell Elves.
- 11:25And the low Florian elves because they are very Eight.
- 11:30Very muted, Light blues. Lots of glowing not-so-great.
- 11:37Beautiful, Angelic colors. Yeah, lots of gray.
- 11:40Lots of Dove gray. But we have glad real who is
- 11:46beautiful and perfect because that's who Cate Blanchett is
- 11:50also scared the shit out of me as a kid.
- 11:54Yeah, she has a little bit of a tantrum also and it used to
- 11:58confuse me as a kid. And I was like, oh my gosh,
- 12:00she's evil, but now she's not evil, she's testing herself.
- 12:04And she's like, oh, so that's what's going to happen.
- 12:06If I put the ring on, like now you could keep it.
- 12:10She's like, no, I gotta get out of here.
- 12:13You gotta go, I love Galadriel. She's I think probably my
- 12:17favorite film character of all time, like it.
- 12:21That's just what it is truly. And Nyla said she was supposed
- 12:25to be like the epitome of what an elf was supposed to be in
- 12:29this. The world and she really is,
- 12:33she's the ultimate elf and they just you she said they looked
- 12:38for the most like expensive unique beaded fabrics for her,
- 12:47just so beautiful. So rich, she looks like a
- 12:50statue. Then we get to see Legolas and
- 12:53his pajamas and his pajamas are just as good as everything else.
- 12:57He waited they are. I mean, Clearly, they're
- 13:00provided by the law Florian's, but he wears them well, right?
- 13:04He, yeah, I want some low Florian pajamas, he's just
- 13:08standing listening to like, and being like, oh, they're morning
- 13:11Gandalf's passing, like, because you think it's just like the
- 13:16score, but the like know that beautiful Angelic noise is
- 13:19supposed to be the elves singing.
- 13:22All right? Elizabeth for wrapping it up
- 13:23here. And our fellowship is on their
- 13:26way to taking their boats. Another red flag is when The
- 13:29Aragorn and leg lifts are starting to notice that
- 13:32something is wrong. They're hearing noises birds are
- 13:36flying away, but of course, no one says a thing, because that's
- 13:39what we do in a Lord of the Rings.
- 13:40Something's wrong, you keep it to yourself and you just keep
- 13:43going. I mean, the problem with all
- 13:46white people and this brings us to when Sean beans, real, not
- 13:55Sean Bean, I should say when boromir's real Frat.
- 14:00Bro. Moment comes out.
- 14:02Yeah, this is like a desperate. Scary bo-ra mirror, who very
- 14:08quickly realizes he like Snapped and did the wrong thing.
- 14:13But it is like, I think this was the first time I was like, solid
- 14:17character and was like, they were supposed to be the good
- 14:19guy, and they weren't right. It was disturbing, I was like,
- 14:23oh my gosh, she snapped, they're still wearing the same costumes,
- 14:27so, no costume changes. Your butt Boromir just suddenly
- 14:32becomes like quite a villain, but we do have a new costume
- 14:35coming up or acai we have to talk about lurtz.
- 14:40The your acai leader already Elizabeth.
- 14:44I'm ready there. I've been waiting to see this
- 14:47piece with you. My favorite piece of Journalism
- 14:51came out in early, twenty twenty one is called it's from polygon.
- 14:59Dot-com and it's called the orc Daddy's of Middle-earth.
- 15:02Ranked did you know that lurtz the leader?
- 15:09The Yokai has such like a following of people who find him
- 15:12attractive. I can't believe it so much so he
- 15:18was ranked number one on the list of Ork.
- 15:21Daddy's to rule, middle are not gonna lie.
- 15:26I see the attraction. Like there is clearly a gorgeous
- 15:33man, they're doing all of that. The caption is the only logical
- 15:42choice for number one. This Dom top is most famous for
- 15:45filling Boromir with a flurry of giant arrows.
- 15:48But did he have to do it while serving such intense Hottie with
- 15:51a body realness? Of course it doesn't.
- 15:55It's impossible. Tonight is supercharged grinder.
- 15:58Hiccup gone. Wrong fight with Viggo and
- 16:00knock-down drag-out fight scene. So unbelievably horny and makes
- 16:05call me by your name. Look like the streets to fuck.
- 16:09Is it goes on, but it's just my favorite pieces of Journalism,
- 16:17ever. And I just, I love lurtz.
- 16:21He's a great guy Tom. This is so good.
- 16:36I there's way more. I can't argue, I can't argue
- 16:40with that. Yeah, he's a scary dominant guy.
- 16:46I feel the need to see what this actor looks like to justify.
- 16:52Well, yeah, I could, will show it to you later.
- 16:58She's looking it up now. She's like I need to know.
- 17:00Yeah. But they're not talking about
- 17:03the actors. They're talking about the orc
- 17:05itself I know. But it's clearly that what did
- 17:08you say? His name was Lurch alerts with a
- 17:12flirt tell you, rtz where I can't find him.
- 17:18Oh there he is. Oh, he is.
- 17:23Yeah, I was right. That is a handsome fellow
- 17:27underneath. Okay.
- 17:31Yeah, I always I can't deny that.
- 17:34I always thought he was kind of attractive but yeah, not a lot
- 17:42of works from the fellowship, make it onto the list.
- 17:45That's a lot of Two Towers Orcs coming at you coming in to tap
- 17:49like honestly this is the only or Work II?
- 17:52Remember well I guess what? Oh my gosh.
- 17:55No, the The Two Towers when they have that big ol.
- 17:59See next to fangorn Forest I guess I don't know when I think
- 18:02of the Oreck. I think of him Meats back on the
- 18:05menu boys. All right.
- 18:09Not him him but not here. So just for reference number 13.
- 18:14Was that Mario or work with the big eyes?
- 18:18We really made it 13. Yeah.
- 18:20And then going To number 19 was does, trees are strong work, but
- 18:25he lost a lot of points for cutting down the forest, which
- 18:29was frowned upon. I got to be honest.
- 18:31Like if they made like an article just about lurtz, get
- 18:37it. That's where you draw the line I
- 18:45can't. Anyways, Elizabeth.
- 18:50I love The Fellowship of the Ring episode.
- 18:53It's so funny. At the way that I was like,
- 18:56saving that article for you for literally, maybe a year.
- 19:02I was just holding on to it. I did not see the orc daddy's
- 19:05coming. You know, you drop the bomb.
- 19:08So excited. I was like, finally, I can't
- 19:11read this out loud. It's such a good article.
- 19:15So funny. Yeah.
- 19:17Alerts is kind of Daddy. I get it, I get up.
- 19:19People's are saying I do, I do to anger, the fury.
- 19:25The muscles is definitely one of our funny moments from that
- 19:33episode. And if you subscribe to our
- 19:36first here, Daniel has amassed quite the collection of funny
- 19:41moments for you all to listen to.
- 19:43Oh yeah, almost every single episode has like So many funny
- 19:48moments that I just, you know, make separate audio for and
- 19:51upload to the patreon. Let me see that one is the our
- 19:55first here for Maestro. And on top of that we also
- 20:00upload unheard bloopers. You hear some like, at the very
- 20:03end of each episode but there's actually like three, four, five,
- 20:07sometimes like six or ten, golden nuggets in there that I
- 20:13wish I could just like play, but it just fits better with

- 23:29sniffing like her hair and her underarms like a, she's stinking
- 23:34Edwards over here acting like she's all musti.
