Actress and host extraordinaire feliciaday chats with Screen Rant about PrimeVideo's official podcast for TheRingsOfPower and how it feels to step into the world of TheLordOfTheRings after being a Tolkien fan for so long:
Actress and super-fan Felicia Day breaks down getting to host the official The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power podcast, her massive passion for J.R.R. Tolkien's universe, and potentially returning to the Supernatural franchise. After the conclusion of Peter Jackson's The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit trilogies, the Tolkien franchise finally made its way to the screen, but this time as a television series on Prime Video.
I know you hosted Rings of Power events and panels, but can you tell me about getting that call to host the official podcast? I'm a fellow podcaster, so I can only imagine what a dream that must be for you as a fan getting to host a show about one of your favorite fandoms. Felicia Day: Yeah, I guess the finale is out, It's out today! I can't believe it. It's been so secretive, so it feels weird to be able to talk about it.
Felicia Day: I didn't really suspect it, I didn't go there, to be honest with you. But at the same time, I agree with you, and if you rewatch the episodes, you actually will see it. I think I'm on my third rewatch with the family now, and the details are stunning. The performance by Charlie is very layered. He is honest. If you take every single one of his lines, the double meaning and everything that he does is so clever; so well-written and acted.
Felicia Day: Thinking about that, I love Beren and Lúthien, I love that story. There are some things that are not in the timeline that I would love [to see]. There's a story about a king on Numenor and his wife who was like, 'You can't go to sea again,' and he kept doing it. He was like, 'I'll never see you again.' That story is amazing, too. Tolkien is so deep and rich, there are so many stories to be mined in this particular timeline.
Felicia Day: I just love seeing the elves brought to life. If you've read The Silmarillion, it's a little dry because it's a lot of facts, and the world-building is fascinating. and But I understand that there's not a lot of character interactions that you're like, 'Oh, that's bringing it to life.' You have to have the specifics of characters and scenes and see how they talk to each other to really bring things to life.
For me, even though there is compression with the timeline and all that stuff, the pace that we're learning about these days, we're learning about the people and a more in-depth thing. We're not just glossing over those character moments that would inevitably be cut to get to the big battles and story points if you had to make it even more compressed.
The hour with the showrunners is probably the most exciting interview I've ever done because not only do I learn things about the show that I've watched a lot that I would never have noticed had we not talked about it, but just the labor of love the details, and the sheer scale of the show. Getting that on a human level really made me want to go rewatch the show again, which I've done and appreciate even more now.
I'm looking forward to what they're gonna say about The Stranger now that we know he's an Istari. It makes me go, 'Is that Gandalf or are they trying to throw me off?' They were really toying with us and making me think he was Sauron, but that was almost more upsetting than Halbrand being him, feeling 'No, this sweet old man protecting the Harfoots, it has to be someone else.
Felicia Day: Oh, I can not wait to see where they go, I literally am so excited. I got my map out. I was like, 'Where? Where are they going? What's over there?' We don't know, it's territory that we haven't explored, and that's what's so exciting about the show. They're so reverential to the source material, and yet we're diving into areas where it is right for playing around in a way, and I'm very excited.
Felicia Day: I can't say one way or another, I could only hope. They're certainly shooting season 2, so I'd love to dive back into this world as long as they will have me.
