Episode 9: Rings of Power Season 1 Finale Reaction with Dallas Amico

October 16, 2022

It's a special Sunday edition of the Make the Case podcast! First, at 01:09, reacting to a listener-submitted topic, Shwin and Conrad discuss why medium-budget thrillers like Se7en have disappeared from mainstream Hollywood (and also whether or not Top Gun: Maverick was good for America). Then at 23:08, Conrad welcomes back guest host Dallas Amico to react to the highly eventful Rings of Power season 1 finale! Discussion topics include 1) our favorite moments from the episode and how those moments effect a potential rewatch of the season; 2) where we think the story goes in season 2, and 3) Comparisons between the success of Rings of Power and House of the Dragon, as well as Game of Thrones vs. Lord of the Rings in general. SPOILERS ABOUND! If you have any feedback, comments, or takes you want to try out on us, call us at (818) 538-4966 or find us on Twitter at @makethecaseshow -- we want to hear from you!
