In this episode, Elisabeth and Arica start their J. R. R. Tolkien series with the movie, The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey (part 1) in honor of the late Sir Ian Holm, who plays Bilbo Baggins in the Lord of the Ring Trilogy. They girls also have a special guest, Constance, which is Arica's 2 1/2 year old daughter and she sings and says hi to everyone and gives a little commentary on the movie. This week it is a little different, since all of the Hobbit movies are very long. It was decided that each movie will be done in two parts so that you don't have to listen to a 3 hour podcast/commentary all at once. For those that watch the movie along with us, we stop the movie at the timestamp: 1hr:23min:21sec. We will have the second half next week. Please remember to share us with all your friends and find us on all the social media platforms and give us a five star rating to help us grow. New episodes every Friday!!
