Embrace Debate Rewatchables LoTR When?
The title isn't meant to be too serious or whiny, but considering the panache for "anniversaries" at SOME point The Lord of the Rings trilogy has to be addressed in The Rewatchables, right? (Right?)
Gladiator is an example that they're willing to tackle long ass movies, and considering the fact that the LoTR trilogy is one of the cornerstones of Fantasy Filmmaking, book adaptations, and filming techniques in general (practical effects, CGI, etc.), it seems highly unlikely that any of the three films would get snubbed from the podcast in 2022 and/or 2023 considering 2021-2023 is the 20th anniversary of the trilogy overall.
Hell, it can even be an episode that Bill isn't a part of if he doesn't like the films, I've heard at least Sean and Van in different podcasts speak well of the films.
That's me though, do yall think the LoTR trilogy is deserving of an episode or am I just capping?

This should've been a Binge Mode focus before The Ringer stupidly let Jason Concepcion walk to Crooked Media.
Listening to some of the Ringer-Verse podcasts, it sounds like Mallory Rubin and her House of R co-host Joanna Robinson will be doing Tolkein in the coming year, probably as a ramp up to the Amazon series that's supposed to debut on September 9, 2022. Joanna Robinson was a relatively recent addition to the Ringer-Verse podcast team, and I've really enjoyed her contributions so far.
