Take the Black Live: Is Amazon’s Lord of the Rings show already in trouble?

It’s time for Take the Black Live, our weekly dive into everything happening in the world of Game of Thrones, A Song of Ice and Fire, Lord of the Rings, Star Wars, Naked and Afraid, and all other things nerdy.

One of those may not be accurate. Nah, I’m sure it’s fine.

Anyway, we’re hitting two big topics this week: first, HBO is off and running on its Game of Thrones prequel series. Filming is ongoing in Northern Ireland, which is expected, and in Italy, which is less so. What can we take from the latest reports? Watch us below!

In other fantasy news, we review some the big developments on Amazon’s long and winding road to making a wildly expensive Lord of the Rings show. I know it’s early going yet, but there are some early signs that there’s trouble behind the scenes. Should we be worried, or will the show be everything we want it to be?
