They Don't Understand TOLKIEN - with John Trent from Bounding into Comics

Bounding into Comics isn't the usual starry-eyed, Hollywood-glorifying, news magazine--the site reports on culture and geek news, but doesn't ever hesitate to call out the hypocrisy, double-standards, and cronyism seen in those coastal, gilded, navel-gazing circles.

Michael and Jonathan had the pleasure of talking with John Trent, founder and editor-in-chief of Bounding into Comics! We dive into Tolkien in the past, Tolkien in the present (Rings of Power :(), and Tolkien in the Future (the new Warner Bros films), while also examing faith, love, and why writers can't write anymore.
