“…however, the way the hosts feel about Galadriel, is precisely the way I feel about the commentary. Like I stated, I appreciate their time, especially the content with the Lorehounds.”

“This is low quality content. The first several episodes with the lore hounds were a good primer for the series but once we actually get into the breakdown and analysis of each episode the pod begins to devolve. The hosts, whose names I can’t remember, are broken records commenting over and over...”Read full review »

“David and John of the lore hounds were great to kick this podcast off. When it transitioned to Aaron and jim(?) the show goes severely downhill. They’re incredibly negative and complain about literally every part of the show. I was so relieved when they brought back the lore hounds for the finale...”Read full review »

“TROP had its issues but the guys did a good job talking through the highs and the lows. I am very familiar with Tolkien and have read from Silmarillion through Unfinished Tales etc. The guys helped me enjoy and appreciate the show and were entertaining as well.”

“Normally Jim and Aaron have solid analysis of script, story, and acting - all of which are TERRIBLE in this offensively stupid show. I’m not sure why they avoid all the obvious plot holes, the boring/slow/repetitive pace, and the stone-faced acting. Are they afraid that criticizing this...”Read full review »

“Dear Lord of Darkness, I can now use my palantir like device to listen to a couple unread bros talking about Tolkien? When I could Easily overhear a more informed discussion at Macdonald at 1am? They can’t even pronounce let alone clearly recognize Valinor? Give me a break.”

“Between the frequent whining and profanity, it is really hard for me to take this podcast seriously. They are representing themselves as people who will look for any reason not to like the show, which doesn’t make me respect their opinions very much. Hopefully they’ll improve for season two.”

“Jim and A.Ron also always make it interesting and I love when they have a pod for a show I’m watching. Bald Move is the best around for pop culture content. Worth the listen every week. Less cursing would be a bonus. I see a lot of negative reviews because they talk politics, I’m a catholic...”Read full review »

“I’ve truly enjoyed their GOT podcasts, but this was a let down. Only one of them has read the Silmarillion and it’s obvious they’re just not as into Tolkien’s works as they should be in order to talk about such a dense subject. There’s more rambling than information provided.”

“This is the next best RoP podcast I’ve found for when I want more content after listening to the Ringerverse recaps. These guys appreciate the show’s best moments in a relatable way. Cons: they often get some names wrong and 1 guy doesn’t know much about LotR at all.”

“First of all, I really enjoyed Bald Moves GOT podcasts, and I was hoping for something similar.
I'm really disappointed.
The two of them do not know the source material and yet they ramble on and on with annoying viewpoints.
For example, they complain that "fantasy books" (which...”Read full review »

“This is a podcast about LOTR by people who know nothing to little about LOTR. The Lohrhound guys are awesome but the main hosts of this show just sit there and trash on things they know nothing about.
Gimme more of the Lohrhound guys. Help me understand the plot more by breaking this show down...”Read full review »

Personally, I’ve fallen off HotD but I still stream it with the TV off in support of my love for most of GOT. Like ROP I’ve read all the GOT books but the time jumps in HotD just pull me out...”Read full review »

Perfect for people of all levels of Tolkien knowledge. Also, they are clearly friends and know how to...”Read full review »

“These two cannot be outdone. So smart, funny, everything you are looking for in a podcast covering tv. I’ve been listening for years and so glad they’re covering T.R.O.P. Also, listen to the Lorehounds podcasts that works with them for a deep dive on the background info.”

“I listened to the first half of the Adrift episode. One of the cohosts “doesn’t like Tolkien” and then listening to them stumble over how to pronounce names and general lack of accurate detail in recounting the show. I wouldn’t anticipate any brilliant post show breakdowns from these guys.”
