joke review: this passed the bechdel test (bilbo and gandalf are women to me)

real review: I feel like I've been craving vintage fantasy for a while, this really delivered. Delivered more than if I had actually read the Hobbit, I think.
This was a radio play, not an actual reading of the text. It was also made in the 60s, meaning that all the voice acting, all the music, was done in that very cute old timey way. Kazoos, dude. They scored this with kazoos.
I had a good time! There were moments I wasn't paying so much attention, but that was fine to me. I really rate the voice acting on this, and the sound design. Bring back the radioplay I had a ball in this bitch.
