ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Guillermo del Toro spent two years developing The Hobbit before quitting, forcing Peter Jackson to step in at the last minute and direct without proper pre-production—turning a short Tolkien children’s book into a chaotic, overstuffed trilogy. In this episode of All Things Considered, we break down how studio deadlines, MGM’s financial collapse, and a rushed production led to massive CGI overload, the controversial 48 frames-per-second experiment, and a bloated nine-hour adaptation stretched across three films. From Ian McKellen’s emotional green screen breakdown to the New Zealand union dispute that sparked protests and created the infamous “Hobbit Law,” we break down how The Hobbit trilogy truly scores, with All Things Considered.
