  • I love that he just said that Frodo sees Smeagol almost as an addict would see another addict, because really that is exactly what is going on with regards to what is going on with the ring, whether JRR Tolkien meant it in that way or not. Something, a substance or otherwise, that you love at first and feel empowered by ultimately enslaves you and destroys you and Smeagol/Gollum sees that in the younger Frodo. He simultaneously wants to take it back but the humanity within him decides to help Frodo. But he, too, is also constantly surrounded by temptation. Temptation to steal it back even if in his heart he knows that it's bad for him. That's what the ring truly is an allegory for from the modern lens -- addiction to something that is infinitely more evil and powerful than yourself.

  • It was bittersweet to see Dominic and Billy have Sean and Elijah on their various podcasts, because they have that connection like friends of old - reminiscent of Bilbo and Gandalf - but their memory of the events of filming LotR had faded dramatically. In the 20+ years since they were working together, they have each gone on so many other journeys as actors that it has become a distant memory with spotty details. It was the pinnacle of Hollywood cinema; an art that hasn't been equaled since, and sadly for many of us who remember it when it was fresh and can hold onto it as fans, the actors have had to become so many different people since that they it is slipping away for them. SIDE NOTE: Elijah did tell them about his brief work on The Hobbit series and how much better the hobbit feet process had become - it was basically now a sock that went all the way up to the knee, looked better, and easily slipped on and off. Compared to the glued on, fragile prosthetic they had to wear for LotR.

  • I love how LOTH actors to this day love, appreciate and embrace their roles. So many young actros who became famous for playing a particular character wish it wouldn't have overshadowed their following roles. But Elijah Wood, while having a successful career afterwards, still being best known as Frodo, still talks this passionate about this exact role in an interview years later.
