“Bilbo Lost the Game” ITF Watch: The Desolation of Smaug (2013 film) ft. Kate Ristau

Author, folklorist, and the executive director of Willamette Writers Kate Ristau joins the show to talk all things dragons for this installment of The Hobbit! In episode 244 Luke, James, and Kate ride barrels together for far too long, spot a Peter Jackson cameo, wonder about elven physics, geek out about big scaley wyrms, and try to see things with childlike wonder, despite it all.

Join them next week for the finale, with "The Hobbit: The Battle of Five Armies!"
