Summary

This week, we're covering a series of films that has made everyone go, "What? Why?" It's The Hobbit trilogy, and joining us are LOTR superfans and hosts of The Fandom Show, Steph Malek and Kyah Green! We discuss terrible CGI, a scene that made Steph leave the theatre in sheer rage, and get into how much Benedict Cumberbatch clearly liked playing Smaug (a LOT).

0:50.3	two things to say. Number one, all of us, I believe, at this table, and probably in the world,
0:56.0	but just in case you're not, all of us at this table are more on the eye high than the by-lie side of
1:01.6	things. So if you don't feel comfortable for whatever reason with hearing a lot of thoughts about the
1:07.3	Hobbit, this might be an episode.
1:15.9	Number two, I want to say that this episode has the distinction of being,
1:21.1	exposing me to something that's never happened to me before in almost 10 years of doing this show, which is that every single person I told I was doing this episode, all of them
1:26.5	to one went, why?
1:29.3	Why would she do that?
1:30.9	As I described in last week's episode, our beloved producer and friend Diana actively described it as self-harm.
1:39.3	This is new.
1:40.6	And then when I was speaking with Steph and Kaya about this, Steph at one point was like, did we all just three-way bully cats?
1:49.0	Kind of.
