This week on Frame Work, the Lord of the Rings conversation continues, picking up where we left off. We’re delving deeper into the inner workings of the series here, with discussion of the extraordinary DVD releases of the films, JRR Tolkein’s humanism as represented by the hobbits, the extremely effective combination of models, CGI and natural geography in creating Middle Earth, and wrapping up with some effusive praise of the production design, a high water mark in cinema. And some talk about that wizard fight too.
You can download part 1 right here, or of course, on the podcast app of your choice, under the name Frame Work, along with all our recent conversations about David Fincher and superheroes. Just look for the artwork below:
