339 – You’re the Girl

Rosie is the girl that keeps Sam up at night, so they get married; we are the podcast hosts that keep you up at night – all we ask from you is to subscribe. Join The Man of the West and The Lord of the Mark as anniversaries become dark days for Frodo in the second of our three episodes on The Grey Havens. Frodo suggests Sam and Rosie move in to Bag End with him; Merry and Pippin cut a great dash in the Shire; Sam receives a large book and a mandate to complete it. We suggest a new small business opportunity for Merry and Pippin, wonder precisely how Widow Rumble is looking after the Gaffer, and speculate about Arwen’s QR code. Also: no, you shouldn’t name your child Frodito, no matter what Shawn suggests.

Here is the link to the 2009 fan film The Hunt for Gollum, directed by our guest Chris Bouchard.
