082: Book vs Movie: The Hobbit Chapter 1

14 min • 2 februari 2023

We explore the opening of the movie The Hobbit, an Unexpected Journey, and compare it to the chapter in JRR Tolkien’s classic children’s book, The Hobbit. We will see how a seemingly-small change in the prologue shifts the entire story away from Tolkien’s tale.
