17 - FOTR Part 1: Concerning Hobbits - with Jordan Rannells!

"The world is changed. I feel it in the water. I feel it in the earth. I smell it in the air. Much that once was, is lost, for none now live who remember it."

The day has finally arrived! Today we begin our watch party of Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings films, starting with the first 25 minutes and 30 seconds of The Fellowship of the Ring (Extended Edition). Joining us is the wonderful Jordan Rannells from the Music of Middle Earth Podcast.

Exactly how good was the prologue? Did Isildur really kill Sauron? Do Hobbit doors make sense? We discuss it all on today's episode. And Happy Labor Day to all of our US and Canadian listeners! We hope this episode brings you joy over the long holiday weekend.
