Return to the land of Mordor with the MMM as we tackle the next Lord of the Rings film, The Two Towers.

As with our last Lord of the Rings commentary, we have used the theatrical cut of the film, not the DVD release.

Like slipping on a pair of old moth eaten shoes (which is ironic considering hobbits don’t wear them) the team get back into talking about grimness, orcs, sword-weilding saviours and magical wizards.

Come celebrate with the MMM team with this, our 100th commentary!

The epic story of tiny men doing very important things continues.* In this multi-hour installment the two very different towers come into sharp focus. You see, where as one tower is the domain of a once great but now evil sorcerer who rules over an army of orcs and is bent on destroying man and taking possession of the One Ring, the other tower is the domain of a once great but now evil sorcerer who rules over an army of orcs and is bent on destroying man and taking possession of the One Ring, but – BUT – his name begins with an “S”, and also contains the letters “a”, “u”, “r”, “n”, whereas the other tower guy’s name begins with an “S”, contains the letters “a”, “u”, “r”, and “n” HAS NO “m” AND ADDS AN “o”! And the differences don’t end there: one of the guy’s names is seven letters whereas the other has six!

Mike, Kevin, and Bill strap on the wizard’s hats, snap into some fortifying lembas and head on the down the road that goes ever on and on…

*”The hobbits’ quest to destroy the cursed ring” not “Martin Short, Michael J. Fox and Danny DeVito’s performances in ‘Mars Attacks’”.

The Renegade team return to the world of magic and Elves. Come inside and listen to the tales of Middle Earth like they’ve never been told before! The pure manliness of Aragorn, Sam gets a job as a motivational speaker and the sheer evilness of men with no eyebrows!
