This week we Return to the Cringe with special guest Joe Raik and the conclusion of our conversation about The Lord of the Rings! Last week we leaned heavily on our love and affection, so of course this week will be a closer look at what parts of Middle Earth make us flinch: the narrative importance of blood purity, the flatness of the female characters, and Frodo's fan base amongst the alt-right against Tolkien's record on racism. On the bright side, we make time for Ultimate Boyfriend Samwise Gamgee and the many memes of our childhood.
