"Heroes" is finally here.

We are starting the deep dive into our favorite heroes in film and their Enneagram types.

This is our introduction to thinking hard about Heroism at times like this.

With humor and heart, Jeff and TJ also revisit the complete typing list of the Lord of the Rings universe, reflecting on themes of duty, empathy, and the profound emotional resonance of Tolkien’s characters. Whether you're a fan of the books, the films, or simply the Enneagram, this episode ties the entire series together with insightful conclusions, some surprising debates, and a celebration of what it means to truly know oneself.

Join us for this epic conclusion as we explore Frodo's quiet resolve, Faramir's inner battle for recognition, and how the Enneagram continues to guide us in understanding the stories—and lives—that matter most.

Is Merry a loyal caretaker Type 2, and what does his relationship with Pippin reveal about his journey? Could Legolas's competitive nature and sleek precision point to him being a Type 3, or does his keen observational style suggest something else entirely? Along the way, we explore their growth, stress responses, and what these beloved characters teach us about ourselves.

With plenty of humor, insights, and a few jabs at Orlando Bloom's portrayal, this episode is a must-listen for Enneagram enthusiasts and Tolkien fans alike.

Around the Circle is your home for thoughtful Enneagram conversations, pop culture deep dives, and more. Subscribe now and join the journey!

This episode is packed with insights, debates, and a few surprises as we continue our journey through the greatest trilogy of all time. Plus, we set the stage for our next discussion with Mary Brandybuck front and center. Tune in, geek out, and maybe even leave us a review—because being the 200th reviewer is basically like holding the One Ring (without the corruption).

Don’t forget to visit aroundthecircle.org for exclusive content, and may all good things be yours!

In this episode, we kick off a multi-part series with spirited debates on Gandalf’s complexity—Type 5 or 8?—Elrond’s reserved wisdom, and Wormtongue’s manipulative edge. We also tackle the heartfelt question: Is Sam a devoted Type 2 or a loyal Type 6? Whether you're an Enneagram enthusiast, a Tolkien fan, or both, this is your guide to understanding the inner lives of these iconic characters.

30 years ago two of America’s great films were released on the same day.

Neither the Shawshank Redemption nor Pulp Fiction won the Academy award for best picture, but they commonly top lists of the most beloved films of this generation.

We are picking up the second of the two in our double feature. Pulp Fiction is a redemptive story of profane, deeply flawed human beings. It is a perfectly constructed, very adult film with rich characters worth talking about.

With that, we dive into arguably the most celebrated piece of art made in the 1990’s Quinton Tarantino's Pulp Fiction.

On October 14, 1994, two of the greatest American films were released.

The Shawshank Redemption, an adaptation of Stephen King's novella, was the directorial debut of Frank Darabont. Though it opened in only 33 theaters and won no Academy Awards, it now holds the #1 spot on IMDb’s list of the greatest films of all time. In 2020, TJ and I wrapped our Enneagram and Villainy series with a deep dive into this timeless classic, exploring the story’s primary antagonist, Warden Norton, through the lens of an Enneagram Nine.

The second film, Pulp Fiction, was the highly anticipated follow-up from Quentin Tarantino. Regularly ranked alongside Shawshank as one of the most important films since the 1970s, Pulp Fiction is a dark, ensemble piece filled with characters in desperate need of redemption.

In celebration of the 30th anniversary of these iconic films, we’re excited to present a double feature. First up, our recut deep dive into The Shawshank Redemption. You can also explore our Enneagram villain series on our sister podcast feed, Movie Typing, linked in the show notes. Whether you’re curious about villainous Nines, Fours, or Sevens, it’s well worth a listen.

Next week, we'll release our treatment of Pulp Fiction, focusing on the inner lives of Enneagram Fives, Eights, Fours, Sixes, and Ones.

TJ and I have had a delightful time walking through the beats and themes of this film and found all the beats highly discussable.

In the minds of some, The Muppet Christmas Carol is not only the best telling of the Scrooge story, but the best Christmas movie ever.

To get into their motives you need a language for motive, a tool to expose what is taking place inside the characters we love.

We have that tool and this is an intro to using it.
