## Resource

This week, we're covering a series of films that has made everyone go, "What? Why?" It's The Hobbit trilogy, and joining us are LOTR superfans and hosts of The Fandom Show, Steph Malek and Kyah Green! We discuss terrible CGI, a scene that made Steph leave the theatre in sheer rage, and get into how much Benedict Cumberbatch clearly liked playing Smaug (a LOT). Produced by Andrew Ivimey as part of The From Superheroes Network Visit www.FromSuperheroes.com for more podcasts, articles, video series, web comics, and more.
