Matt: Hobbit Holes… Here we come…

Ben: Much that once was, was lost. For none now live who remember

 

07:44AM CST, FOTR Disc 1 03:00

Matt: I already feel like we’ve gotten extended scenes

Ben: We haven’t

Matt: I feel like we have

07:51AM CST, FOTR Disc 1 11:26

Matt:  I just realized this morning, that the Hobbits live in Middle Earth, and in Norse mythology, Earth is called Midgard…woah…Thor.

Ben: huh?

Matt: Is this a Hobbit hole?!

Ben: Yep

Matt: Oh!!

 

8:04AM CST, FOTR Disc 1 21:35

Matt: CHARLIE!

 

8:06AM CST, FOTR Disc 1 23:00

8:12AM CST, FOTR Disc 1 29:20

(after Bilbo drops the Ring on the ground)

Matt: Whoa, it didn’t bounce!

Ben: Were you expecting it to?

 

8:15AM CST, FOTR Disc 1 32:00

Frodo: I don’t understand

Gandalf: Neither do I

Ben: That’s probably because of all the pipeweed

 

8:22AM CST, FOTR Disc 1 39:30

Matt: This is just like Harry Potter!

Ben: (gives Matt a very dirty look)

 

8:29AM CST, FOTR Disc 1 45:48

Matt (after pulling out his Greek flashcards): outos…

Ben: Yeah, you need to be reading those only in your head

 

8:30AM CST, FOTR Disc 1 47:00

Matt: Is that Sauron?

Ben: No, that’s Saruman

Matt: They should have made their names so similar. They should have called him Tauruman

 

8:38AM CST, FOTR Disc 1 55:00

Matt: They’re just like the soul eaters!

Ben: If you’re going to compare it to Harry Potter, at least get the Harry Potter name right

Matt: They’re not called soul eaters?

Ben: Nope

 

8:40AM CST, FOTR Disc 1 57:00

Matt: If the blackriders had mermaids on their side they wouldn’t be in this predicament

Ben: That might be the single dumbest comment I’ve ever heard

(Aragon returns to camp with a dead stag)

Matt: Does this have anything to do with House Baratheon?

 

8:56AM CST, FOTR Disc 1  01:12:56

Matt: You and I would do really well if we were on the run

Ben: We’d probably be dead

Matt: What? We wouldn’t be dead!

Ben: You think we could survive against Nazgul?

Matt: I’m assuming that we’re on the run on earth

Ben: Oh

Matt: Though I’m not saying the nine kings still wouldn’t be after us

 

9:00AM CST, FOTR Disc 1  1:17:00

Matt: I’m really hungry cause my Mini Wheets got soggy

Ben: …Mr Anderson

 

9:13AM CST, FOTR Disc 1  01:29:00

Ben: Out of eleven hours of movie, nine of them are closeups of the Ring

 

9:15AM CST, FOTR Disc 1  01:31:00

Matt: NED!!!

 

9:16AM CST, FOTR Disc 1  01:32:00

(after reading Dave’s comment below “Gandor, mortal enemy to the mighty Ring Bear. 😉 LOL”)

Ben: I’m going to reply to Dave and say you keep asking me when the Ring Bear is going to show up

Matt: Don’t, I’ve said enough dumb things already!

 

9:17AM CST, FOTR Disc 1  01:33:00

Matt: He looks young

Ben: Who, Ned… I mean Boromier

 

9:21AM CST, FOTR Disc 1  01:37:30

Just took advantage of a Peter Jackson Potty Break AKA an Aragorn and Arwen love scene

 

9:23AM CST, FOTR Disc 1  01:38:00

Matt: Grimly!

Ben: Gimli?

Matt: No, Grimly. Right?

Ben: Nope

 

9:26AM CST, FOTR Disc 1   01:42:09

According to Ned, “One does not simply walk into Mordor”

 

9:28AM CST, FOTR Disc 1  01:43:30

Matt: Did you see how much nose sweat Frodo has?

 

9:33AM CST, FOTR Disc 2 0:00

Disc 1 is done! Time for Fellowship of the Ring part 2!

 

9:37AM CST, FOTR Disc 2  04:00

9:38AM CST, FOTR Disc 2  04:50

Matt: I remember this from the Burger King commercial… They sold cups!

 

9:40AM CST, FOTR Disc 2  07:30

Matt: Oh no! They didn’t bring their snowpants!

 

9:48AM CST, FOTR Disc 2  15:00

(as Pippin and Merry throws rocks into the water)

Matt: These guys are morons. Now the alligator is going to get them… or the mermaids

 

9:52AM CST, FOTR Disc 2  20:00

Matt: My shirt is so soft, I love it! I love the material TeeFury uses! Can I touch yours?

Ben: No

Matt: Is it from TeeFury?

Ben: No

Matt: Where’s it from?

Ben: Woot

 

9:54AM CST, FOTR Disc 2 22:00

Matt: Is that Ian McKellen’s real nose?

Ben: Yes

Matt: I’m pretty sure it’s not. It looks fatter than usual

Ben: I’m googling it

one google search later…

Ben: You are right!

Matt: Put that on the blog!

 

10:02AM CST, FOTR Disc 2  28:00

Matt: What’s a Took?

Ben: That’s his last name. Pippin Took

Matt: Pippin took what?

 

10:09AM CST, FOTR Disc 2  35:00

Matt: Wait, what are those things?

Ben: Orcs

Matt: They can crawl upside down like that?

Ben: Apparently so

Matt: Oh my gosh, they have Spider-man powers!

 

10:13AM CST, FOTR Disc 2  39:00

Matt: All these years that staircase has been there and the one time they need it to work it cracks in half

 

10:15AM CST, FOTR Disc 2  41:10

YOU! SHALL NOT! PASS!

 

10:16AM CST, FOTR Disc 2  42:15

Ben: Worst archers ever

Matt: Didn’t even nick ’em!

 

10:20AM CST, FOTR Disc 2  45:30

Matt: Is that him?

Ben: Who? The Flight of the Conchords guy?

Matt: yeah

Ben: No, I told you he’ll be on in like 6 hours! He’s in Return of the King. Does this look like Return of the King yet?

 

10:21AM CST, FOTR Disc 2  46:30

Matt: Every time I hear Legolas I think of legos

 

10:29AM CST, FOTR Disc 2  55:00

Matt: Just like Narnia. She’s bad

Ben: She’s not bad

Matt: White Witch!

Ben: She’s not a witch

 

10:33AM CST, FOTR Disc 2  58:30

Matt: Don’t tell me everything that happens in Return of the King because I don’t remember that one exactly

Ben: Ok

Matt: well, I don’t remember any of them exactly

Ben: I kinda picked up on that

 

10:45AM CST, FOTR Disc 2  01:06:00

Matt: Live long and prosper

Ben: Why are you quoting Star Trek?

Matt: Galadrial waved her hand like Spock

Ben: No she didn’t

Matt: She did a little bit

 

10:49AM CST, FOTR Disc 2 01:10:45

Ben: Boromier wouldn’t have trusted Littlefinger

Matt: Totally

 

11:01AM CST, FOTR Disc 2  01:22:00

Matt: Who’s blowing the horn? Ned?

Ben: Yep

Matt: How did he have time to blow the horn while in battle?

(Very next shot if of Boromier doing exactly that)

Matt: Oh. Like that

 

11:03AM CST, FOTR Disc 2  01:23:30

Poor Sean Bean

 

11:04AM CST, FOTR Disc 2  01:24:30

(as Merry and Pippin are carried off)

Matt: I think they need some trees to help them

 

11:07AM CST, FOTR Disc 2  01:27:30

Boromier (to Aragorn): I would have followed you my brother

Matt: I don’t think so. You tried to steal the ring

 

11:09AM CST, FOTR Disc 2 01:30:00

Matt: Obi Wan

Ben: What?

Matt: That was Obi Wan

Ben: No it wasn’t

Matt: Gandalf was speaking to Frodo after he died. Just like Obi Wan

Ben: That was a memory

Matt: Kind of. It was kind of a memory

 

11:12AM CST, FOTR Disc 2 01:32:00

Ben: I drank too much tea. I have to pee again

Matt: Oh no!

Ben: It’s not that big of a tragedy

Matt: No, I meant Boromier going over the waterfall

Ben: Oh

Matt: That’s a terrible use of a boat. I’m just say’n

 

11:13AM CST, FOTR Disc 2  01:33:30

Aragorn: If we hold true to each other

Matt (pretending to be Gimli): I don’t know what that means!

 

01:14AM CST, FOTR Disc 2 01:35:00

Fellowship of the Ring is done!! Onto The Two Towers but first a brief break

 

The Two Towers

11:30AM CST, TTT Disc 1  0:00

The Two Towers begins now!

 

01:32AM CST, TTT Disc 1  01:20

Matt: Giant birds are so useful! I was just thinking about that. What a mess there would have been without the giant bird

Ben: But on the other hand giant birds would make a pretty big mess on their own

Matt: Good point

 

01:33AM CST, TTT Disc 1 02:30

Gandalf: Fly you fools!

Matt: That’s a hint that he’s about to fall onto a giant bird

Ben: He doesn’t fall onto the bird

(seconds later)

Matt: He falls into the water! No wonder he survives

 

11:42AM CST, TTT Disc 1  10:30

Matt: He’s gonna turn into a zombie!

Ben: Who, Sam?

Matt: Gollum bit him!

 

01:47AM CST, TTT Disc 1 12:30

(as Frodo chooses to trust Gollum)

Matt: He’s pulling a Ned!

 

11:50AM CST, TTT Disc 1  15:30

(as the orcs pour suspicious liquid into Merry’s mouth)

Matt: What do you think that was?

Ben: Just some bad crap

Matt: Oil probably

Ben: I don’t think it was oil

 

11:53AM CST, TTT Disc 1  19:00

Legolas: They’re taking the hobbits to Isengard!

Matt: No! Not Isengard!

 

11:54AM CST, TTT Disc 1  20:00

(as Saruman’s forces destroy more trees)

Matt: Oh no! Not this again! I bet all the liberal activists had a fit about this

Ben: Why? He’s evil

Matt: So?

Ben: It’s like a pro tree message!!

 

11:55AM CST, TTT Disc 1  21:00

Orc to Saruman: We don’t have enough fuel to feed the fire!

Matt: I’m givin’ it all she’s got cap’n!!!

 

11:55AM CST, TTT Disc 1  21:30

Peter Jackson cameo #2!

 

11:56AM CST, TTT Disc 1 22:00

Matt: This kid should have his own movie… set in the future!

 

12:00PM CST, TTT Disc 1  25:00

Matt: Creepy guy with evil eyes! Can’t trust him!

 

12:02PM CST, TTT Disc 1  27:00

Wormtongue: This order comes from the king. He signed it this morning

Matt: hmmm, something suspicious about that signature

 

12:12PM CST, TTT Disc 1  37:00

(as Aragorn tracks Merry and Pippin)

Matt: How does he do this?

Ben: He’s just that good

Matt: At tracking?

Ben: Yeah

Matt: Like Kate! And Locke!

Ben: No

 

12:14PM CST, TTT Disc 1  39:30

Pippin (hanging on Treebeard while Merry is almost killed by an orc): Merry!

Matt: Pippin’s the worst! He just sits there!

 

12:26PM CST, TTT Disc 1  50:00

Ben: Now that the nazgul have taken flight they’re probably like, “take that mermaids!”

 

12:29PM CST, TTT Disc 1  52:30

(as Gandalf the White shows up)

Matt: Jesus?

 

12:31PM CST, TTT Disc 1  54:00

Gandalf: I threw down my enemy and smote him on the mountainside

Ben: Smote is one of the greatest words of all time

 

12:34PM CST, TTT Disc 1  57:00

Aragorn to Gandalf: In one thing you have not changed my friend. You still speak in riddles!

Matt (as Gandalf): Who are you again?

 

12:41PM CST, TTT Disc 1   01:04:00

(upon seeing two more trolls at the Black Gate)

Matt: Oh no! Not more of those guys!

Ben: Did you think the one in the cave was the only one?

Matt: No but you said it was a cave troll

Ben: It was

Matt: So this is a bridge troll?

Ben: No…

Matt: Using your logic it would be. If there was one here you’d say it was a house troll

Ben: No. The one in the cave was a cave troll. These are just regular trolls

Matt: So the only adjective you can attach to a troll is cave?

Ben: I guess

Matt: What if there was one on a tree. Would that be a tree troll?

Ben: How would a troll fit in a tree?

Matt: Not in a tree. Like on top of one

Ben: A tree couldn’t support a troll’s weight

 

12:45PM CST, TTT Disc 1   01:07:20

Merry: I could really use a whiff of Old Tobey

Matt: A whiff of Old Tobey?

Ben: Pipeweed

Matt: Really?

Ben: It’s like tobacco not marijuana

Matt: Oh. I thought it was a person

 

12:53PM CST, TTT Disc 1  01:16:00

Matt: What’s that guy’s name

Ben: Grima Wormtongue

Matt: Wormtongue? That’s a clue

Ben: I know, right. Who takes advice from someone named Wormtongue?

 

1:01PM CST, TTT Disc 1  01:23:30

(after Aragorn stops Theoden from killing Wormtongue)

Ben: That would be Aragorn’s “Ned” moment

 

1:07PM CST, TTT Disc 1  01:29:00

Rohiram Captain: We’ll make for Helm’s Deep!

Matt: Oh! Helm’s Deep! There’s a battle there! The Battle of Helm’s Deep… right?

 

1:08PM CST, TTT Disc 1  01:30:00

Matt: I love Gandalf. And Aragorn. And I love Pegasus

Ben: Um… do you know it’s real name?

Matt: White Horse!

Ben: Nope

Matt: What is it?

Ben: Shadowfax

Matt: Like, I’m faxing you this document?

 

1:09PM CST, TTT Disc 1  01:31:00

(as Aragorn saddles his horse)

Matt: Is he speaking a little elf action to this horse?

 

1:10PM CST, TTT Disc 1  01:32:00

Aragorn (referring to his horse): Turn this fellow free. He’s seen enough of war

Matt: Turn him free? He’ll be lonely! What’s he gonna do?

Ben: Probably die

 

1:30PM CST, TTT Disc 2 0:00

3 discs down, 3 to go!

 

1:45PM CST, TTT Disc 2  14:00

(after Aragorn falls off a cliff)

Matt: I predict he lives!

Ben: Good guess

Matt: No one’s saying anything nice about him. Like “He’s a nice guy. He was a great ranger.”

 

1:48PM CST, TTT Disc 2  17:00

Matt: How’s he gonna get into Helm’s Deep? Oh! I know! He’ll use the secret river entrance!

Ben: Who? Aragorn?

Matt: Yep

Ben: He’s just going to walk through the front door

Matt: No. Secret river entrance!

 

1:49PM CST, TTT Disc 2  18:00

Wormtongue to Saruman: My Lord that would take tens of thousands. There is no such force!

(He walks outside and see thousands of orcs)

Matt: How could he have missed that many soldiers?! Didn’t he walk through the front door?

Saruman to orcs: A new power is arising!

Matt (as orcs): WE CAN’T HEAR YOU! SPEAK UP!

 

1:52PM CST, TTT Disc 2  22:00

Matt: I wonder if Peter Jackson will make a live action Lord of the Rings tv show

Ben: Why would he do that?

Matt: You know, to stick it to George Lucas

 

1:53PM CST, TTT Disc 2  23:00

Matt: Why can’t they make Aragorn immortal?

Ben: He’s not an elf

Matt: Can’t they just give him some elf juice?

 

1:54PM CST, TTT Disc 2  24:00

(as Elrond explains to Arwen how Aragorn will die before her if they marry)

Matt: She could just get remarried

 

1:56PM CST, TTT Disc 2  26:00

Matt: I think Arwen’s making the right choice to leave Middle Earth. Cause it’s like she gets to go Elf Village, right?

Ben: Not really. It’s symbolic of them going to Heaven

Matt: What? This is a horrible idea! They’re all going to go die and go to Heaven? Elrond is the worst dad ever! He’s like Dr. Kevorkian

 

2:04PM CST, TTT Disc 2  33:40

Ben: It’s Walter and Ned! This is like a Game of Thrones/Fringe crossover!

 

2:17PM CST, TTT Disc 2 47:00

Aragorn: Their goal is to destroy the world of men

Matt: But not all the men are at Helm’s Deep

Ben: Well, it’s their overall goal. They’re just starting small

Matt: Oh that makes sense. You know what they say about how you eat an elephant

Ben: What do they say?

Matt: One bite at a time

 

2:19PM CST, TTT Disc 2  49:00

Theoden: Where was Gondor when the Westfold fell?

Matt: Up north! Haven’t you looked at a map recently?

Ben: Actually it’s a bit southwest

 

2:22PM CST, TTT Disc 2  52:30

Matt: They have the dirtiest kids ever! Give them a bath! Doesn’t it ever rain in Rohan?

 

2:32PM CST, TTT Disc 2  1:00:30

Matt: they can probably just relax. Aren’t the orcs going to get a good night’s rest before the battle?

Ben: Likely not

 

2:34PM CST, TTT Disc 2  1:02:30

Matt: They should get the cave trolls out. Oh, I mean the marching trolls. Sorry, my mistake

 

2:39PM CST, TTT Disc 2  01:07:30

Merry: Our friends are out there. They’ll die without us!

Matt: Live together, die alone!

 

2:42PM CST, TTT Disc 2  01:10:40

Matt: If was them I would have raised my drawbridge

Ben: There’s no moat at Helm’s Deep

Matt: They should have prepared for something like this

 

2:47PM CST, TTT Disc 2  01:15:10

Rohan soldier: Draw your swords!

Matt: You know what they need? Shields!

 

2:48PM CST, TTT Disc 2 01:16:00

Matt: You know who would make a good king? Aragorn!

Ben *dumbfounded stare*

 

2:49PM CST, TTT Disc 2 01:17:00

Matt: They should use their hooks to pull down the wall instead of climbing over it

Ben: I don’t think that would work

Matt: How do you know? It’s just a wall

Ben: It’s a freaking castle!

 

3:00PM CST, TTT Disc 2  01:28:15

Matt: The orcs can’t be in the sun because their skin burns

Ben: No

Matt: Like vampires

 

3:01PM CST, TTT Disc 2 01:29:00

Theoden to Aragorn: Let this be the hour that we draw swords together

Matt: What has he been doing all night? Worst king ever!

 

3:02PM CST, TTT Disc 2  01:30:00

(after an Ent is shot with a fire arrow)

Matt: Looks like they found the trees’ secret weakness!

 

3:16PM CST, TTT Disc 2  01:44:45

Matt: So Sauran and Saruman don’t live in the same neighborhood

Ben: No

Matt: Ok. I got that now

 

3:17PM CST, TTT Disc 2  01:45:30

Frodo: Frodo wouldn’t have got very far without Sam

Matt: Creepy use of third person

Ben: Ben couldn’t do the podcast without Matt

 

Return of the King

3:27PM CST, ROTK Disc 1  0:00

One more to go! Time for Return of the King

 

3:28PM CST, ROTK Disc 1  1:00

Matt: Yep, Circus. Like clowns

 

3:36PM CST, ROTK Disc 1  9:00

Sam: The should be enough food

Frodo: For what?

Sam: The journey home

Matt: A little overconfident if you ask me

 

3:47PM CST, ROTK Disc 1  20:00

(after Eowyn and Aragorn share a drink)

Matt: uh oh, they’re married now. I saw this on Firefly

 

3:58PM CST, ROTK Disc 1  31:00

(as Pippin writhes in pain on the ground after looking into the Palantir)

Matt: He totally had this coming

 

4:02PM CST, ROTK Disc 1  35:00

Ben: I sense a spinoff buddy comedy here with Pippin and Gandalf

Matt: no

 

4:05PM CST, ROTK Disc 1  37:00

(looking at elves)

Matt: Targaryans

Ben: What?

Matt: Targaryans

Ben: Why do you keep saying that?

Matt: They all have white hair like the Targaryans

 

4:06PM CST, ROTK Disc 1 38:55

Bret McKenzie cameo!

Matt (singing): “Because I got high! Because I got high”

 

4:21PM CST, ROTK Disc 1  54:20

Peter Jackson cameo #3!

 

4:23PM CST, ROTK Disc 1 56:00

(Gollum leads Sam and Frodo into Minas Morgul)

Matt: If I was Sam I would really put my foot down. It’s like, “Ok, I heard him say he wants to kill us and now he’s leading us to a place called the dead city”

Ben: That’s a fair point

 

4:24PM CST, ROTK Disc 1  57:20

(As Minas Morgul shoots its signal into the air)

Matt: It’s like the Death Star. They’re trying to blow up Alderaan

 

4:31PM CST, ROTK Disc 1  01:03:00

Faramier: The’yre not coming from the north!

Matt: Assumptions lead to all sorts of orcs sneaking up on you. If they’d just look they could see them

 

4:34PM CST, ROTK Disc 1  01:07:11

(during the lighting of the beacons)

Matt: This will take them a while. It’s almost dark time

Ben: You mean night?

 

4:54PM CST, ROTK Disc 1  01:27:00

(as Sam, Frodo and Gollum fight while on the edge of a precipice)

Matt: Reminder, you’re on a cliff!

 

4:57PM CST, ROTK Disc 1  01:30:30

Gandalf: Your father loves you Faramier

Matt: Just not as much as he loves your brother

 

5:10PM CST, ROTK Disc 1  01:43:00

Eowyn to Aragorn: We need you here!

Matt (as Aragorn): I don’t even know your name. Quit following me

 

5:18PM CST, ROTK Disc 1 01:52:00

Ben and Matt simultaneously: Drum troll!!!

5:28PM CST, ROTK Disc 1  02:01:30

Denathor: Theoden’s betrayed me

Matt: He’s on his way! Hold your horses… You could literally hold your horses back then.

 

5:32PM CST, ROTK Disc 1  02:04:40

Matt: They’re actually wearing hard hats like construction workers. Construction worker trolls!

 

5:41PM CST, ROTK Disc 2  0:00

Almost there! only one more disc to go!

 

5:48PM CST, ROTK Disc 2  06:00

Matt: Oh my gosh, just jump spread eagle into a web. Worst strategy ever!

 

5:51PM CST, ROTK Disc 2  10:00

Galadrial: This task is appointed to you Frodo. If you do not find a way no one will.

Matt: No pressure

 

5:56PM CST, ROTK Disc 2  14:50

Matt: Battle trolls!

 

5:57PM CST, ROTK Disc 2  16:00

Ben: At this point in the theaters all arachnaphobes were dying

Matt: I don’t like spiders but this doesn’t bother me

 

6:01PM CST, ROTK Disc 2  20:00

(as Sam tries to revive Frodo)

Matt: Give him the light juice
