  • 68 - Middle-earth Conspiracies 2 - Electric Boogaloo
    Apr 13 2025

    Chris was indisposed, so I've returned to spill some home truths about the world.

    In this captivating exploration of Middle Earth, this truther delves into the hidden truths and conspiracies surrounding the Valar, Mount Doom, and the mysterious disappearance of the Entwives.


    He presents a compelling argument that Mount Doom is not merely a volcano but a clean energy reactor, and that the Valar have a vested interest in keeping Middle Earth in a state of stagnation.


    The discussion also touches on the enigmatic Nameless Things that consume history and knowledge, posing a dire warning about their influence on the world.

  • 64 - The Last Alliance - Sauron Part 8
    Feb 16 2025

    In this episode, we dive into Sauron’s return to Mordor after his disastrous beach trip to Númenor, his transformation from deceiver to full-blown terror lord, and the rise of Elendil and his sons in Middle-earth.


    We break down how Aragorn is connected to Númenor’s good side, the founding of Gondor and Arnor, and the Last Alliance’s war against Sauron.


    Also, we mourn the Entwives, question Elven leadership skills, and admire some good old fisticuffs.
