If Rob watches one more minute, this will be the most Hobbit movie he's ever seen...

We're marching on with our unexpected adventure, which this week means watching the second of Peter Jackson's Hobbit films, The Desolation of Smaug. Rob has only seen half of this film before, leaving the cinema back in 2013 thanks to 48 frames-per-second-induced motion sickness. Nath has seen the whole thing and doesn't like Beorn's sideburns. And yet somehow look yonder, in the distance, next to the Lonely Mountain - are they the green shoots of positivity?
