2. The Hobbit, Part 2

In their second (and much longer) episode Cooper, Isaiah, Tanner, and Matthew talk about when and where they first experienced the Hobbit. They compare the movies to the book quite a bit (sorry 'bout that), and talk about what Tolkien would have said about the movies; namely the Elf-Dwarf love story. Then Cooper claims that the last 25% of the book is the weakest part and the others jump to the end's defense. Later on, they talk about why parents are more willing to let their kids read the Hobbit and the Lord of the Rings over Harry Potter even though the Bible condemns magic of all shapes and sizes. Did they make a good case as to why parents let their kids read Tolkien rather than Rowling? Listen to find out.

4. Sign of the Beaver, Part 1

For hopefully the last time, Cooper gets the name of the book wrong in the intro. Once he's corrected, they're off. First, they apologize again for last week, then they say to scrap almost everything else and give the real updates. Then they're into the book, discussing about how scared they'd have been if they had been in Matt's (the character) place. They talk about their emotional struggles with Latin, and much more! Also, sorry about Matthew's audio quality. He and his family just moved and he couldn't find his mic.
