Description

Bilbo fully embraces his role as hero and finds a way to save the dwarves — but not before we find out how the Elvenking distrusts the dwarves while comparing himself to the great wealthy kings of old.


This week we also look at:



  • The announcement of a new Lord of the Rings land/attraction in a new Universal park.

  • The significance of the elves residence in caves.

  • Why is the elf king so petty?

  • The strength of Dorwinion wine.

  • How effective are these magic doors really?


In our extended episode (available for our members) we talk about:



  • AI Tolkien reading his “Noel” poem.

  • What would be a right and proper Lord of the Rings ride?

  • Do we have any confidence in someone building a Lord of the Rings attraction?
