Andie and Kali welcome designer and Tolkien collector, Myla (aka @MylaMalinalda) to the podcast to discuss the eighth chapter of the Hobbit, "Flies and Spiders," as well as the corresponding scenes from Peter Jackson's "The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug." In this episode, we cover:

How Mirkwood is described in the book vs what we see in the movie
What we learn about wood-elves in this chapter — and how that differs from Peter Jackson's depiction
Mirkwood's various creepy crawlies
How Bilbo's role is reduced
Our hopes for the future of adaptations
