0:00.0	Hi, I'm Michael and welcome to Beyond the Screenplay, the podcast where each week we do a conversational deep dive analysis into a film.
0:13.7	Today, we are talking about the Lord of the Rings, the Fellowship of the Ring.
0:18.3	Yay!
0:20.6	The YouTube.
0:21.7	Dun, done, da-da-da-da-da.
0:24.4	There's a lot of excitement around this 2001 film directed by Peter Jackson, screenplay by Fran Walsh,
