Happy Hobbit Day! Let’s explore what makes JRR Tolkien’s
original children’s novel so iconic to this day. In episode 242,
Luke & James return to Hobbiton and Middle Earth for one more
journey that starts with the written word, but will cover all three
of Peter Jackson’s films. Topics include the greatest fantasy song
of all time, what Father Christmas might have in common with
Gandalf, a philology professor’s single line, the changes made to
the "Riddles in the Dark" chapter, a raven with an unfortunate
lineage, and what we all can appreciate about Thorin Oakenshield’s
final words.
Join them next week for "The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey!"
