Samwise Gamgee
About this episode
Britt and Chris discuss the character Samwise Gamgee, exploring his relationships, themes of hope, and various interpretations of his role in the story.
Britt and Chris have a great time talking about their original #bestboy, Sam! They discuss his determination, his love for Frodo, his status as a gardener in a group of literal royalty and nobility, and his treatment of Gollum. They also find an interesting empire metaphor in the One Ring, consider a Japanese American reading of Samwise, entertain cute AUs, and learn from the hope Sam enacted even under the darkest shadows.
