Peter Jackson convinced Hollywood to fund three epic films at once, then filmed them back-to-back in New Zealand. Madness, and it changed cinema. John, Westy, and Matt journey to Middle-earth to explore how a low-budget horror director made the impossible: a fantasy epic that satisfied Tolkien purists and mainstream audiences. From the epic production, through groundbreaking innovations to an actor's fear of flying (hence all that walking), we're telling the story behind the film that launched a thousand memes, with some big opinions and laughs as we go. After second breakfast of course.
Telling the story of Hollywood, one film at a time.
