Episode 18 - The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring

To commemorate the 20th anniversary of its cinematic release, the Bloobcast revisit the first instalment of Peter Jackson's legendary Lord of the Rings trilogy - The Fellowship of the Ring. They discuss how the film adapted the book to the screen, why the Fellowship not taking the eagles to Mordor isn’t a plot hole, the incredible special effects and how well they hold up today, the merits of both the theatrical and extended cuts, and justify the absence of Tom Bombadil. Music Used: The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring score by Howard Shore The Ballad of Bilbo Baggins performed by Leonard Nimoy Paranorman Score by Jon Brion
