135. The Greedy and Petty Elves of Mirkwood – The Hobbit #22

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?
