Tolkien: The Man, The Legend, The Movie
In our first episode, we discuss the 2019 movie "Tolkien," directed by Dome Karukoski and starring Nicholas Hoult and Lily Collins. We explore the inspiration that Tolkien drew from his idyllic childhood home and the trenches of World War I, as well as the effects of trauma on the brain and the power of art and beauty to heal that trauma.
Intro and outro music (“Splanchnics Riff)” composed and performed by Clare T. Walker.
