Has anyone listened to the SilmFilm podcast by Corey Olsen et al.? It's a project where they imagine a hypothetical adaptation of the Silmarillion as a prestige TV series, just for the fun of imagining it.

I've seen a couple of YouTube videos of Corey Olsen, and his stuff has largely struck me as more didactic than anything I'd be interested in (I know Tolkien's work well enough that I don't need to be lectured on it). But this seems like an interesting exercise for the imagination. On the other hand, I've listened only to the first episode so far and I'm already vehemently disagreeing with their choices . . .
