Episode 33: Riddles in the Dark
Manage episode 371545308 series 3322409
On this episode, we welcome Minhas (aka @MinhasMorgul) to help us discuss one of our favorite chapters, Riddles in the Dark. For this episode, we focus solely on the riddles scene from Peter Jackson's extended edition of The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey and chapter five. While the movie cuts back and forth between the dwarves and Bilbo, we stay with Bilbo and Gollum for the full episode. We discuss:
- Whether or not Gollum is wearing pants or not
- The riddles you may have missed if you've only seen the movie
- Gollum's various interpretations over the years
- Bilbo's pity for Gollum and how it's expressed in the book vs the movie
