Discussion of The Hobbit, Chapter Nine Join Maggie and Cam as they fight off drunken Wood-elves and stuff each other into barrels. This episode explores Bilbo's motivations and subconscious as he works to rescue the dwarves. Tolkien pushes us to reevaluate our "food and shelter" theory from last week. We also debate the power of the ring as both a practical tool and a narrative device. Cam leads a discussion about faith, magic, and luck.  During our Second Breakfast, we consider George Lucas' objectives in making Star Wars, inspired by the documentary "Empire of Dreams".
