Final Destination

LotR December is underway, and we begin in The Shire, in a hobbit hole in Hobbiton, with a Rankin/Bass animated classic that achieves in under 90 minutes what Peter Jackson failed to do with an entire 10 hour trilogy... If you're a LotR stan, feel free to clock our misinformed lore, and if you're not, join along with Middle-Earth-Virgin Emily in watching these epic adventure films for the first time! Down Down To Goblin Town!! We also recorded this the DAY before the Spotify/Apple Wrapped came out, and to report back Emily's top artist was Greta van Fleet, Dara's was Hozier, and Jen's was The Script. And a huge thanks to those who've shared with us that The Swamp made it's way onto yours!  Cynthia Erivo Doing The Wicked Riff In Target, But It's SlowSend us a textSWAMP stuff:PatreonTikTok: @theswamppodcastInstagram: @theswamppodBluesky: @theswamppodcast.bsky.socialOur Letterboxd Accounts: @okaydara and @ekievraYouTubeOur website: https://www.the-swamp-podcast.com/Email: [email protected]
