In this inaugural episode of Catch the Wizard, I discuss how Peter Jackson adapted the attack on the hobbits at the Prancing Pony in Bree, how it differs from Tolkien's version, where this scene may have come from, and how it informs our reading of Tolkien's original text.
I am indebted to Corey Olsen's Exploring The Lord of the Rings for this idea, as well as his great contribution to my own understanding of Tolkien's works over the years. Check out his show on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YFYxUlqp0vs&list=PLasMbZ4s5vIWPwDhtmXRcn1s0q8qONMGz
