ACOFAE Podcast Presents: Lord of the Rings: A broad discussion with friend of show Gene! ACOFAE welcomes friend of show Gene for a broad discussion about the world of The Lord of the Rings, specifically the animated Hobbit film and Peter Jackson's first movie; Fellowship of the Ring. A wide-ranging discussion that starts with the lack of women in the series and ends with a pitch for Jessica Marie to sit down and watch Two Towers for reasons, ACOFAE and Gene delight in the details. Though he insists that he is not an expert, friend of show Gene is ACOFAE's expert and he shows it with deep lore drops about music,Tolkien's life, and a love of a specific character that did NOT make it into any of the adaptations that ACOFAE are familiar with! Join Laura Marie, Jessica Marie, and Gene as they broadly discuss Bilbo, Frodo, Sam, Aragorn, and the journey they take with the One Ring, and how that little piece of jewelry is big enough to shape the world.

What makes An Unexpected Journey the strongest Hobbit film? Jeff Haecker, Thomas Salerno, Patrick Mason, and Rob Leonardi debate Bilbo's wit, Thorin's grit, Radagast's quirks, and whether Jackson's changes strengthened or weakened Tolkien's tale. The post The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey appeared first on StarQuest Media.

In Folge 14 tauchen wir in das Kapitel „Auf der Türschwelle“ aus Tolkiens Der Hobbit ein. Bilbo und die Zwerge erreichen den Einsamen Berg, doch anstelle von Vorfreude auf den Schatz breitet sich eine düstere Stimmung aus: Verfall, Stille und die wachsende Furcht vor Smaug prägen ihre Reise.Wir sprechen über Bilbos Rolle als unfreiwilliger Anführer, die Planlosigkeit der Zwerge und die Frage, ob es sich um ein erzählerisches Plothole oder um ein bewusstes Stilmittel Tolkiens handelt.Also Kopfhörer auf und RingCast – Ein Fantasy Podcast – ab!

On a tous une manière de peupler le monde, et le monde en retour à ses façons bien à lui de nous modeler. Dans cet épisode de Tangram, on s'intéresse à nos lieux de vie et à ce qu'ils disent de nous. On ira chercher la pauvreté jusque dans les quartiers les plus riches de France, on rencontrera une architecte qui essaie de moderniser une vieille technique de construction, et on se plongera dans le monde des fourmis pour voir si elles sont différentes selon qu'elles vivent en ville ou à la campagne.Intervenants :François Cusin, professeur des universités et enseignant-chercheur en aménagement de l'espace, urbanisme et sociologie à l'Université Paris Dauphine-PSL.Ola Nashed Kabalan, architecte et chercheuse en thèse au laboratoire Géométrie, Structure et Architecture (GSA) de l'École nationale supérieure d'architecture de Paris-Malaquais (ENSAPM-PSL). Découvrez ses travaux en images sur l'Instagram de PSL : https://www.instagram.com/psl_univ/reels/Claudie Doums, directrice d'études à l'École Pratique des Hautes Études (EPHE-PSL).Lecture :Un extrait de Bilbo le hobbit, de JRR Tolkien, lu par Émilie Kang, du CNSAD - PSL.L'Université PSL est labellisée "Science avec et pour la société" par le Ministère de l'Enseignement supérieur, de la Recherche et de l'Innovation.Hébergé par Ausha.

Bilbo und die Zwerge erreichen endlich die Seestadt – doch der Empfang fällt ganz anders aus, als man erwarten würde. Während Thorin großspurig seinen Anspruch als „König unter dem Berge“ verkündet, bleibt Bilbo als Einziger mit Bauchschmerzen zurück: kein Plan, keine Waffen, dafür ein Drache vor der Tür.Wir sprechen über Kapitel 10 „Ein warmes Willkommen“ aus Tolkiens Der Hobbit, vergleichen Buch und Film, lachen über kuriose Übersetzungen, LAN-Partys mit nur einem Song in Dauerschleife und diskutieren, warum Bilbo vielleicht der Einzige ist, der den Ernst der Lage wirklich kapiert.Also Kopfhörer auf und RingCast – Ein Fantasy Podcast – ab!

In „Fässer unverzollt“ schleicht sich Bilbo unsichtbar durch den Elbenpalast, schmiedet einen waghalsigen Fluchtplan und kämpft gegen nasse Klamotten, nervige Zwerge und kaltes Flusswasser.Dazu gibt's Diskussionen über Waldelben vs. Hochelben, Portwein in Portugal / Düsterwald und die Frage: Wo würde man im Elbenpalast eigentlich am besten schlafen?Also Kopfhörer auf und RingCast -Ein Fantasy Podcast- ab.00:00:00 Begrüßung00:07:41 Der Hobbit (Kapitel 9)

I want to revisit the very first essay I published on the very first chapter of Lord of the Rings the Fellowship of the Ring. In that essay I talked about the Loneliness of Bilbo Baggins and how I thought there were a lot of underwritten things as well as overt things that showed that Bilbo didn't really seem to have too many good friends. And that he only realized a little too late how dear a friend Frodo was. And the same with Frodo…he only realized how much he loved Bilbo after Bilbo had left for another adventure.

Bilbo finally becomes a real burglar in this chapter, venturing alone into the heart of the Lonely Mountain.

If you've seen or read Tolkien's The Hobbit, then you know that Gandalf convinced Thorin and the dwarves to take Bilbo Baggins, a simple hobbit from the Shire. But you may not know why Gandalf chose Bilbo in the first place, or how Gandalf and Thorin met, or how Gandalf received the map and key that he could pass along to Thorin, and still yet how unlikely the whole story is and how the tale is tangled up in the larger fight against Sauron. Today we explore the tale called “The Quest for Erebor” from JRR Tolkien's Unfinished Tales.Share this episode using this link:ringspodcast.com/221Who are you?Please tell me a little about you: ringspodcast.com/surveyWander Farther: A Free Reading GuideDownload my FREE guide for reading Tolkien's Silmarillion: https://ringspodcast.kit.com/a982347493Deals for you, my fellow wandererExclusive discount for Lore of the Rings Listeners: 25% off your entire order at Manly Bands.

Mae govannen, dear listeners, and welcome to Season 2 of For the Shire.We begin, as all great tales do, in shadow, by turning our gaze to the One Ring:That which devours.That which disembodies.That which destroys.“What have I got in my pocket?”A riddle, a chance, a doom.The Ring holds many powers, but perhaps its greatest gift was not to Bilbo, nor to Gollum, nor even to Sauron. But to Tolkien himself. It gave him something solid, something glinting in the dark, to seize amidst the vast, swirling depths of the mythic world he was weaving. Down in the endless blackness of the Misty Mountains, the Ring gleamed, metallic, crisp, and cold, and Bilbo's fingers closed around it. So too did Tolkien's imagination close around this talisman, forging from it the legend that would shape his life's work.And so we, in turn, hold fast to the Ring. We follow where it leads:Into the underworld,To the fiery chasm from whence it came,To the hidden realms beneath the seen world where ancient forces stir and archetypes rise.On this journey we pass through the lands of animism, of mass consumption, of charisma, uniqueness, nerve, and The Tower. Each step draws us deeper into the heart of the story and the heart of ourselves.And so we ask you, listener:What is it that you have in your pocket?Love the pod?

In this episode, we discuss one of The Hobbit's quieter chapters, where Bilbo and the dwarves finally reach Erebor's hidden entrance.

We wrap up our first book for the summer! Bilbo's courage and wisdom save the day and the finally makes his way back home. What did you think? If it was your first read, how did you like it? If you've read it before, what stood out to you this time around?

We continue our read-through the Hobbit with chapters 11-15. (or as Ron would call them, the DRAGON CHAPTERS!!) We go from the dwarves (and Bilbo) first entering the mountain to the point when they barricade themselves inside against those who want a part of the treasure.

At long last, we begin our read-through of the Hobbit, going from Bilbo's unexpected party to the riddle-battle under the mountain. What are your favorite parts of those first few chapters?

Without Bilbo, there would be no J.R.R. Tolkien. Without "The Hobbit," there would be no "Lord of the Rings" or "Silmarillion." Bilbo's tale, as Tolkien himself insists, is the linchpin, the essential connecting link, of his entire legendarium.Today, we embark on a journey to unravel how "The Hobbit" stands at the heart of Tolkien's myth as we delve further into the mysteries of the Waldman Letter. Along the way, we'll explore Tolkien's disdain for allegory and dissect the profound meaning he gives the word “Magic”.

Frodo's journey through the wilds takes a dramatic turn as the wounded hobbit nears the Ford of Bruinen. This episode explores three pivotal moments from the chapter Flight to the Ford in The Fellowship of the Ring. First, Sam Gamgee reveals his hidden depth through an imaginative troll-song, echoing Tolkien's ideas on fairy stories and the role of poetry in Middle-earth. Then, the hobbits encounter the buried remnants of Bilbo's earlier adventure, signaling the final narrative departure between Bilbo and Frodo. Finally, the mysterious rider Glorfindel arrives—not Arwen, as seen in the films, but a radiant elf-lord with deep roots in the First Age. With insights into Elvish reincarnation, the symbolism of bells and light, and the layered history behind Glorfindel's return, this episode highlights Tolkien's brilliance in mythmaking and the layered reality of his world.Part 3 of 4 exploring "Flight to the Ford" from JRR Tolkien's Fellowship of the Ring.Share this episode using this link:ringspodcast.com/210Who are you?Please tell me a little about you: ringspodcast.com/surveyWander Farther: A Free Chapter GuideDownload my free chapter guide for "Flight to the Ford": ringspodcast.com/flightDeals for you, my fellow wandererExclusive discount for Lore of the Rings Listeners: 25% off your entire order at Manly Bands.

Case and Sam are looking back at the earliest episodes of the show! Check out their thoughts on the seventeenth episode when Case sat down with Ben Milton and Addy Thomas and chatted about The Hobbit Trilogy! Overview   In the latest Podcast Discussion meeting, hosts Case and Sam explored a meta-review of their previous episode on The Hobbit trilogy, originally recorded after their first year of podcasting. The discussion began with an overview of the original episode, highlighting a consensus that three films were excessive for the source material. They praised Martin Freeman's casting as Bilbo while critiquing Peter Jackson for trying to align the film's style with The Lord of the Rings, particularly noting that the addition of the villain Azog was unnecessary. They also pointed out issues with character design and narrative structure, suggesting a two-film adaptation could have better captured character arcs and pacing, particularly with scenes involving Smaug. The Battle of Five Armies was identified as the weakest film, marred by excessive padding and a lack of personal stakes compared to earlier battles in the franchise. The hosts expressed the importance of subtlety in fan service and connections to The Lord of the Rings while reflecting on their own views from the initial episode. They concluded by sharing their love for film and announced upcoming episodes focused on Captain America and Alien Resurrection, while encouraging listener engagement through their Discord server.   Notes Introduction and Episode Context (00:00 - 09:47) Case and Sam introduce this meta-episode reviewing a previous podcast about The Hobbit trilogy The original episode featured Case, Ben, and Addie discussing at 'CPOV Studios' They note this was recorded after completing the first year of the podcast Main critique established immediately: three movies was far too many for The Hobbit source material The hosts mention they didn't rewatch the entire trilogy for this meta-review Initial Critique of The Hobbit Films (09:48 - 19:09) The hosts praise Martin Freeman's casting as Bilbo as a perfect choice that connects to Elijah Wood's Frodo They criticize Peter Jackson for trying to make The Hobbit fit the style and scale of Lord of the Rings The unnecessary villain Azog (the pale orc) is identified as a major problem They note Jackson used artificial narrative structures to create three separate arcs where the source material didn't support it Discussion of how Lord of the Rings doesn't rely on personified villains, but on evil as a force ‍️ Character and Design Issues (19:09 - 28:25) The hosts criticize the framing device that has Bilbo explaining the dwarven kingdom's history They argue Bilbo should be an uninformed viewpoint character discovering the world along with the audience The dwarves' inconsistent design is highlighted as problematic (either caricatures or just normal people) They discuss how the dwarves don't feel cohesive like in Lord of the Rings and lack distinct personalities Case praises the Gollum scenes as genuinely excellent despite other issues ️ Proposed Two-Movie Structure (28:25 - 37:07) Case suggests ending the first movie at Lake Town as a natural breaking point This would create a moment where Bilbo has a true choice to continue or turn back They discuss how this cut would make Bilbo's character arc work better for the first film The second film could focus on Thorin's character arc They criticize how the actual film cuts (especially the Desolation of Smaug ending) feel like TV cliffhangers Smaug and Pacing Issues (37:07 - 46:35) The hosts praise the actual Smaug and Bilbo conversation scenes They criticize the extended Smaug chase/forge scenes as unnecessary padding Discussion of how Jackson is good at bringing book scenes to life but struggles when expanding material They propose that the second movie should open with the dwarves finding the door to the Lonely Mountain They critique the narrative weight of many extended sequences that don't actually advance the story ️ Battle of Five Armies Criticisms (46:36 - 55:45) The Battle of Five Armies is identified as the weakest film with the most padding They argue the battle should have been the third act of a movie, not an entire film Discussion of how the battle needed to feel smaller and more personal than Lord of the Rings battles They appreciate the decision to make Bilbo more active in the battle than in the book The hosts criticize the 'video game' quality of action sequences like the barrel rider scene ‍️ Fan Service and Connections to Lord of the Rings (55:45 - 01:04:58) They discuss how Legolas' inclusion made sense for the first film but was forced in later films They appreciate seeing Saruman before his fall to evil The hosts criticize heavy-handed references to Lord of the Rings (like mentioning Aragorn/Strider) They note how forcing connections to the original trilogy hurt the story Discussion of the 'video game' quality of action sequences compared to Lord of the Rings Meta-Discussion of the Episode (01:04:58 - 01:15:51) Sam and Case reflect on the original episode, finding it thorough and well-argued Sam admits not rewatching the trilogy for this meta-review as it would be too time-consuming They reaffirm that the trilogy's main problem is its excessive length Sam praises the costumes while Case notes the 48 FPS format made everything look fake They discuss how watching the entire Middle-earth saga chronologically would be challenging Final Thoughts and Upcoming Episodes (01:15:51 - 01:32:34) Case reiterates that a good two-movie cut exists within the trilogy's footage They agree the first film is the most watchable of the three Both hosts express their love for the first Captain America film (their next episode topic) Sam mentions she didn't rewatch the Hobbit films as they would take 10+ hours They provide information about their Discord server and social media presence Upcoming podcast episodes announced: Alien Resurrection and Captain America: The First Avenger Action items Join and participate in the Discord server for further discussion (01:31:00)

Bilbo fully embraces his role as hero and finds a way to save the dwarves.

Frodo retraces Bilbo's footsteps through troll-country, but the path is darker, colder, and far more perilous. This episode explores the rich narrative echoes between The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings, revealing how Tolkien uses familiar landscapes—ruined towers, ancient roads, and petrified trolls—to contrast the lighter tone of Bilbo's adventure with the shadowed weight of Frodo's quest. From icy wounds and haunting dreams to sunlit stone trolls and old northern legends, we examine how the past lingers in Middle-earth and how memory becomes both a burden and a guide.Part 2 of 4 exploring "Flight to the Ford" from JRR Tolkien's Fellowship of the Ring.Share this episode using this link:ringspodcast.com/207Who are you?Please tell me a little about you: ringspodcast.com/surveyWander Farther: A Free Chapter GuideDownload my free chapter guide for "Flight to the Ford": ringspodcast.com/flightDeals for you, my fellow wandererExclusive discount for Lore of the Rings Listeners: 25% off your entire order at Manly Bands.

Erkenbrand takes command of the West-mark after the death of Théodred; Matt makes it clear that, in the event of Alan's death, he wants no such responsibility. Join us as there is a coincidence of calendars in our second episode on The Battles of the Fords of Isen from Unfinished Tales. Grimbold stands firm by the Fords, Elfhelm is the Admiral Ackbar of Rohan, and none of it really matters because quantity has a quality all its own. Matt breaks out his best Ent voice, we lament the adaptation fates of Erkenbrand, Tom Bombadil, and Glorfindel, and agree it would be a nice day for a white wizard. Also, in Bilbo's next book, he interviews Fingolfin on challenging Morgoth: “I've had better days.” Finally, here's the link we promised for Tom Shippey's talk: https://www.swarthmore.edu/news-events/tolkien-book-to-jackson-script-medium-and-message Learn more about your ad choices.
