Boromir, Man of Gondor

Not Another F**king Elf: A Lord of the Rings Character Guide

One does not simply walk into pop culture history. This week, Paul and Catherine are looking at Boromir, man of Gondor, in all his forms, from Michael Graham Cox to Sean Bean. Why is Bigwig from Watership Down the Boromir of Rabbits? Who is the People's Boromir? All this and more in the latest episode of this in-depth Lord of the Rings character guide podcast.

Every week, Paul Ridd and Catherine Bray look at a character’s place in Tolkien’s mythos, their place in pop culture, literature and adaptations. We look at Peter Jackson’s adaptations, Ralph Bakshi’s Lord of the Rings (1978), the 1979 Mind’s Eye radio adaptation, Return of the King (1980) from Rankin-Bass, the 1981 BBC Radio adaptation, and the 1990 Rob Inglis and 2020 Andy Serkis audiobooks.
