128. A Courageous Hobbit and Disloyal Dwarves : The Hobbit #16

Bilbo makes it out of the Misty Mountains with more courage than ever before, while the dwarves prove their disloyalty. This is the chapter where Bilbo finally comes into his own as a Burglar–he’s becoming the hero of a great tale as he embraces his Tookish side.

This week we look at:

• Middle-earth’s 1st connection to Anime (not War of the Rohirrim!)
• Bilibo’s Courage
• Dwarves Disloyalty
• Gandalf’s confidence
• Tolkien’s growth as a master of prose

In our extended episode (available for our members) we talk about:

• How Michael would have changed War of the Rohirrim
• War of the Rohirrim and the Bechdell test
