Hello and welcome to episode 427 of Geek's Guide to the Galaxy.

Today on the show we'll be discussing the animated movies The Hobbit, The Lord of the Rings,

the Return of the King, the Sword in the Stone, The Secret of Nim and Titan A.

And this will involve spoilers for all of those movies, so just be aware of that.

And this is a follow-up to our panel on animated 80s fantasy movies back in episode

413, so definitely check that out if you missed it. And I'm joined by three guests.

and her short fiction appears in the Writers of the Future Anthology, Fantasy

Magazine, and Light Speed.
