Summary

Frodo and Sam have passed the Dead Marshes with the help of Sméagol, went to the Black Gate of Mordor and found it impassable, decided on an alternate route, and coincidentally ran into men of Gondor, the captain being Boromir's brother Faramir who succeeded in what Boromir failed. Thanks for sticking with us as today we tackle the final five chapters and finish The Two Towers in it's entirety by covering The Forbidden Pool through The Choices of Master Samwise. Keep up as we stay with Frodo & Sam as they receive the blessing of Faramir to leave the temporary safety of Ithilien with Sméagol and continue their journey, view the evil city of Minas Morgul where the King of the Wraiths resides with an army set for war, climb along the secret pass to a tunnel, fall into a trap, fight for their lives against an ancient evil, and Sam having to make seemingly impossible choices. With Chase & Josh providing the major takeaways from each chapter, notating key full circles and foreshadows, pointing out a potential plot hole, coming up with our own draft of who each of us would take in a Fellowship re-do of who goes on the journey from Rivendell, and debating some fun scenarios, don't miss out! "He spun round, and rushed wildly up the path, calling and calling his master's name. He was too late. So far Gollum's plot had succeeded." https://gofund.me/4bacd516

0:07.0	the Welcome back, folks, it's Jason Josh, Factor Fantasy. That's Jason. I'm Josh, and we're here to give you part four of the
0:37.9	Lord of the Rings and the two towers today, where we are going to be tackling chapter 17 through
0:43.2	chapter 21 and also finish the entire novel. So that's going to be really exciting. We're going to get
0:49.4	to the end of the second book in this big series today. There's a lot of action. There's a lot of unsuspecting
0:56.3	players making big moves. I'll say that. And so we're excited to jump on in. Before I do,
1:02.5	I'll turn the floor over to Chase and let him say a few words.
1:05.7	Back in the saddle, baby. Back in the saddle. Yeah, I'm excited for this one. We got some good action today.
1:15.1	And just on a side note here, just like I mentioned last episode, you know, it's wild how fast
1:20.4	we've kind of flown through this thing. Because after today, you know, we have the two differences
1:25.3	episodes and then we're on the last installment of this big, you know, we have the two differences episodes, and then we're on the last installment of
1:28.1	this big, you know, one can argue, one of the most famous fantasy series of all time. So,
1:37.1	it's good stuff, man. And I'll let Jay Nellie take it away. Yeah, absolutely. You're absolutely
1:41.5	right. It's definitely, it's very arguably the top fantasy fiction franchise that was ever created.
1:47.3	So it's definitely in the top three if you don't have it in your number one.
1:51.6	You know, maybe one day down the road when we are years and years into this, maybe Chase and I will do a rankings episode of all the fantasy fiction things that we cover and see which one hits number one.
1:59.9	That'd be kind of cool.
