Listen to Episode 111, “Eleventy-One”

Gobbledygeek episode 111, “Eleventy-One,” is available for listening or download right here.

Bust out your robes and light your pipes; the boys take a look at Rankin/Bass’ 1977 animated adaptation of The Hobbit. Which also happens to be trippy as balls.

Plus, Paul catches up on some comics, AJ is conflicted over the forthcoming Kindle Fire HD, and someone apparently remembered that we have a Formspring.

Next: an enlightening discussion of film criticism, I’m sure.
