Episode 31: A Short Rest

Tolkien with Friends

In this episode, Kali and Andie dive into “A Short Rest,” which is chapter three of The Hobbit, and about 36 minutes of the extended edition of “An Unexpected Journey." This section is really where we start to get into bigger departures from the source material, while also weaving in more from the Appendices. Our discussion includes:

• The smell of elves — and how the elves act in the movie compared to the book
• A song about "a merry old inn"
• Wargs as pets?
• The White Council and the role it plays in the bigger picture
