73. How Peter Jackson Changed the Wizard, the Pranksters, and Frodo’s Best Bud

Michael and I continue to analyze the general changes Peter Jackson made to Lord of the Rings. This week, we look at:

  • Gandalf, the Befuddled
  • Sam, the Best Bud
  • Merry and Pippen, the Pranksters

Are we right? Wrong? Did we miss something obvious? Let us know!

In our extended episode (available for our members for only $4/mo–free for the first month!) we talk about:
