It’s not that the trolls aren’t scary… or are they? Did Tolkien mean for them to be frightening? In this episode we get into how the trolls find a balance, of sorts, between, fear and goofiness–and maybe it all starts with their accents (Michael breaks down exactly where their accent is from too!).


We discuss:

* The Hobbits and The King

* Troll Accents

* The Brave Burglar

* The Incompetent Dwarves

* The Incompetent Wizard


In our extended episode (available for our members) we talk about:


* Dwarven Law and Bilbo’s Contract

* What would Dwarf jelly actually taste like… and what if it’s seasoned with Hobbit?

* Would the key have also turned to stone if they never dropped it?
