And the latest episode of is live on -- and this time we're looking at one of the worst adaptations of ever, the version of _The Return of the King_, which even Rankin admitted in later years wasn't good. Listen to @schwindter and and I despair accordingly. Art as always by Jared, who said: "I put exactly as much effort into my drawing as they did into their screenplay." megaphonic.fm/bythebywater/49

Full times on my end given podcast prep and the like, but two quick notes:

1) was a delight of course; absolutely nodded to its and lineage and more, and the accidental timing of its release is deeply fortuitous.

2) Latest Weekly Music Notes went up on Friday and do give a read and a listen. patreon.com/posts/some-weekly-
