Episode notes

"There is shame in Gandalf though in realizing that the leader of his order, Saruman, the person he trusted most has been betraying him," says director Ben Wheatley. "I think we see that a lot in this movie where people have really close relationships to others and really shape their identities like we all do around a relationship that they're in."

The Fellowship of the Ring: Shame, Dissociation, and Trauma Bonds:
One does not simply discuss Lord of the Rings….so we teamed up with Southgate Productions and headed to Mordor to discuss the first Lord of the Rings film, Fellowship of the Rings! We discuss the impact of shame in the decision making and sense of identity amongst the fellowship. We also discuss the many ways that dissociation presents in the film as well as the concept of trauma bonds. So join us and hang on to your cloaks!
