Part 2: Review of "The Hobbit: Desolation of Smaug" by Peter Jackson

The journey of Bilbo (sort of) continues as Ben, Alex, and Jess breakdown the second half of "The Hobbit: Desolation of Smaug." If you take Benedict Cumberbatch's performance and combine it with the behind the scenes mocap, you got yourself a pretty darn great movie. -- Alex knows a lot. Jess knows a little, and every week they sit down to discuss all things Tolkien, from shows, to movies, to books, to animation, to canon, to speculation. Join us on the journey!
