In our extended episode (available for our members -- https://theonering.com/members) we talk about:
* How could Sauron have been better portrayed in the films?
* Did Christopher Lee regret playing the changed Saruman?
* Did Peter Jackson kill off Saruman just to get rid of the Scouring of the Shire?
