“Friendship Over Greed” ITF Read: The Hobbit (1937 novel)

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!"
