Episode Details

It's time to get the shields up once again as we return to the much unfairly criticized trilogies of all time, The Hobbit trilogy. Today we unpack part two, The Desolation of Smaug. We three really feel these movies get a bad wrap but there is much more here than most see. We get into everything! We also pick our Top 5 Dragons of all time in TV/Movies. So grab your ring of power, don't leave until the moonlight hits you, and be on the lookout for giant bears... it's time for The Desolation of Smaug on The Movie Defenders podcast!
