Join Dave and Wayne for genre television show news, a glimpse into what the hosts are currently watching, commentary and analysis of the Prime Video series The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power.

This week on the SciFi TV Rewatch podcast we discuss the tepid welcome Galadriel receives upon arriving in Numenor with Halbrand, but it’s her companion’s hidden past that opens up new narrative possibilities. We also lay the groundwork for later discussions about Joseph Campbell’s Hero’s Journey Monomyth and which characters might fit the framework.

In our What We're Watching segment, Dave wonders why it’s so difficult to find information regarding the international shows he and his wife are watching. Wayne admits both he and his son are happy they didn’t watch the most recent episode of House of the Dragon together.

In Listener Feedback, Fred from the Netherlands wonders about the show’s pacing but for now, will give it time to grow.

Remember to join the genre television and film discussion on the SciFi TV Rewatch Facebook group for the latest genre television show news and podcast releases.
