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!"
