Hey dol! merry dol! ring a dong dillo! A.Rondir and Jimifell wonder…who’s the real problem in Numenor? Galadriel cannot be trusted. This show has superior map scenes. And Tom Bombadil finally appears in a Tolkien adaptation! Get the lore and laughs you need in this episode of Dug Too Deep.
You said their names three times, now Jim and A.Ron are here to discuss Beetlejuice Beetlejuice (2024). Tim Burton’s current goth girl protege, Jenna Ortega, stars in this long awaited sequel. The film is a charming blend of Tim Burton’s style, practical effects, and great performances. Grab your Handbook for the Recently Deceased and dive in!
Lord Commander A.Ron and King Jimhaerys consult the ancient tome of Fire & Blood by GRRM. Was the confrontation between Aemond and Aegon part of the plan, or a surprise opportunity? Would you rather get married or bond with a dragon? Dragon…obviously.

Elves are just better than everyone else and that’s all there is to it. Jimifell and A.Rondir are horrified to discover the existence of Orc babies. Arondir, the elf, fights A.Ron’s ick. Can the Numenoreans be a little more interesting please?
A.Rondir and Jimifell dig deeper into season 2 of The Rings of Power. What’s a misdirect and what’s a complete rewrite of the LOTR books? Galadriel is compromised. Elrond is unyielding. And the Swedish Death Metal Band is on tour.
Steve and Anthony delight in the masterful storytelling of Rook’s Rest. Then Dr. Philiip Haberkern discusses House of the Dragon as great television and as a window into historical institutions. Phil discusses (among other things) historical parallels to Criston Cole’s necklace.
It’s a solid start to the season with solid characterizations, beautiful landscapes, and only a couple minor pet peeves.
Lunchtime!
