The Two Towers (Film) | KnockBack: The Retro and Nostalgia Podcast Episode 174

During episode #167 of KnockBack, we spent nearly three hours gushing about Peter Jackson's 2001 rendition of The Lord of the Rings' first book, Fellowship of the Ring. Naturally, we couldn't merely stop there. The following year -- in 2002 -- the second of three Lord of the Rings movies came out. It's called The Two Towers, and this is the flick and book alike that many people consider the best in Tolkein's Trilogy. But does the film hold up, particularly with a heavy mix of special and practical effects? How about the performances and the story? We've much to discuss, of course. So join us as we delve back into Middle-earth, where things are just starting to heat up...

I was wondering if the sequel was going to be talked about. Can't wait for Return of the King!

Something you guys might want to consider (with regards to watching the movie on 4K tv). Many of the newer TV's have the feature called "Motion smoothing" or "TruMotion" which is a type of motion interpolation that smooths out motions in the movies and really makes them look bad. Turn that setting off before watching any movies. Maybe this is effecting the way LOTR looked on your TV Colin.
