The Most Iconic Moment of the ‘Lord of the Rings’ Movies

This week, Dave, Neil, and Joanna debate the most iconic moment of the Lord of the Rings movies! But first, they check in on the Big Movie Bet to see where things stand as the summer comes to a close (4:04). Then, they get into Lord of the Rings by talking about what the franchise means to each of them (12:21) before getting into pretrial awards and dismissals (27:31). Later, they reveal each of their top three choices and listen to some of your picks to figure out which four should make it to the final poll (42:55).

Now it’s up to you to decide! What is the most iconic moment of the Lord of the Rings movies? You can vote for the winner at ⁠TheRinger.com⁠, on The Ringer’s X feed, and in the Spotify app, where you’ll find Trial by Content. The winner will be announced on the next episode!
