Set 183 years before the events chronicled in the original trilogy of films, “The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim” tells the fate of the House of Helm Hammerhand, the legendary King of Rohan. A sudden attack by Wulf, a clever and ruthless Dunlending lord seeking vengeance for the death of his father, forces Helm and his people to make a daring last stand in the ancient stronghold of the Hornburg— a mighty fortress that will later come to be known as Helm’s Deep. Finding herself in an increasingly desperate situation, Héra, the daughter of Helm, must summon the will to lead the resistance against a deadly enemy intent on their total destruction.   River and Tony geek out over the newest Lord of the Rings chapter, War of the Rohirrim, diving into its anime-inspired style and intense battle vibes. They break down the legacy of Helm Hammerhand, the epic siege at Helm’s Deep, and the emotional punch behind the film’s character arcs. The duo gets film nerdy with deep cuts on the animation, direction, and killer score while comparing its tone to the OG trilogy and Amazon’s take on Middle-earth. From brutal betrayals to big lore drops, they serve up sharp takes on what worked, what didn’t, and what this means for the future of the franchise.   ----more----   🎬 Join the film conversation with Legit Cool Podcast   Follow us on YouTube Instagram and X   Email: legitcoolpodcast@gmail.com
