This week, Noah, Daren and Summer talk about The Hobbit trilogy as a whole, and how it reflects on the novels, and affects Peter Jackson’s legacy. Would the movies have been better made as 2 films, or as one? Was Jackson too close to the material to be able to reign himself in creatively? How will viewers rate the Lord of the Rings trilogy in comparison if people begin to watch them in chronological story order?
This 4-hour THE HOBBIT recut focuses on Bilbo Baggins, the way it should have all along: http://t.co/75lZqcGi4a

Noah also highly recommends the BBC radio plays of the Lord of the Rings, for those who have an interest in Tolkien’s stories but who have trouble accessing the prose of the novels. Summer also recommends The Fionavar Tapestry by Guy Gavriel Kay as a Tolkien-inspired epic tale. And definitely check out Stephen Colbert’s interview with Smaug:
