Part 2 of our look into Peter Jackson's Tolkien film adaptations. This time we explore Jackson's "Hobbit" trilogy aka the bad ones. We do find a couple of kind things to say, but for the most part this is a — as Gollum would say — "stupid, fat hobbit." --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app
In this episode, the boys review the first part of Peter Jackson's The Hobbit. Will the boys hate it as much as the critics do? Listen and find out! Or don't, I'm not your dad.
Chances are you went to school, or work with a guy JUST LIKE Stephen Hunter, HELL, you might even be just like him... He and Heather met back at acting school when he was a scruffy haired ginger fellow who just loved to make people laugh. He was always written off by others as the guy who was "dabbling" in acting and probably wound't "make it". Then he got a role in Peter Jackson's The Hobbit, and oh how did it change his tune & peoples opinions. But at his core, he is still that fun loving ginger fellow who likes to make people laugh. What you don't know is, how many times he considered giving up. The level of work he puts in to make it look "easy" and "fun". Plus he really opens up about trying to work while grieving. Something we are all in this world, very familiar with. In his family home, Shunter welcomes in Heather with a coffee and a lemonade to discuss: The pain of losing the ones you love. How he had to try grieve two things at once. Staying grounded, when you’re killing it. As we get older, having to say goodbye. Accepting the good with the bad. Making sure you protect the one’s you leave behind. This episode is proudly sponsored by the gents at Body Armour, the smart drink from Australia, that has been tried and tested by experts.

Beauty and the Bitch are taking on part three of Peter Jackson's "The Hobbit" series. Will they be more bitchy than before? Will "The Hobbit" movies continue to be unneccarily long? What happened to Smaug? Can we hold our own attention? If anyone can do it, Beauty and the Bitch can! We continue on our path of jokes at the expense of Benedict Cumberswizzle, we mourn Smaug, we salute Martin Freeman (and his Bilbo), and we complain about everything. We also continue to confront the controversial love story of Tauriel and Fili: where do you stand on this invented melodrama? Not to be missed is (OF COURSE) the shade we are serving on a silver platter....and now I'm hungry. What's for second breakfast??? I DIGRESS. Thanks for tuning in to our three-part Hobbit podcastathon! We hope you love Tolkien...and tearing down great things as much as we do!

In this episode of Watch.Read.Listen., we discuss Peter Jackson's The Hobbit trilogy and explore both the things we like about and the things we don't. Overall, it doesn't work as a trilogy, and we wonder what would have been different if 1) Guillermo del Toro had stayed on to direct and 2) if these had been two films instead of three. We also look at these as adaptations of Tolkien's book. In our This Week section: Duane: Selected Shorts podcast for March 30: "The Sun and the Moon", Far Fetched Fables podcast episode 100 features a story by Michael Moorcock, and Star Wars Rebels David: Shudder horror movie service, Lucio Fulci's The Beyond
