George R.R. Martin, J.R.R. Tolkien Duel In ‘Epic Rap Battles Of History’ Season Five Premiere

Nine months after the conclusion of its fourth season, Epic Rap Battles of History is back. The popular web series has launched its fifth go-around with a showdown between fantasy authors past and present: In one corner, George R.R. Martin, author of Game of Thrones; in the other, J.R.R. Tolkien, the scribe behind Lord of the Rings.

The new episode is the latest example of Nice Peter and EpicLloyd’s winning formula. As in previous installments, the battle between Tolkien (played by Peter) and Martin (played by Lloyd) features savage disses, plentiful references to each author’s career, and, of course, elaborate costumes. A behind-the-scenes video

shows that Lloyd’s GRRM costume took more than four hours to put on.

ERB’s long hiatus (minus a one-off bonus battle featuring Deadpool and Boba Fett) gave the show’s creators some time to head out on tour while also allowing them to preserve the novelty of their work. Even so, it’s good to have them back. Here’s hoping for a fun season five.
