Gobcast Episode 5: What Color is your Goblin? and why is it green?
Season 1, Ep. 5
•
Recently, when watching The Hobbit (1977), I realized that goblins were not always the lovely emeral hue we have today. So how did we get here? Was it Dungeons & Dragons? Warhammer? Warcraft? Lord of the Rings? Was it a troubling seed sprouting in the collective unconscious of humanity, at last vitalized and coming to life? All of those and none of them.
This is a video asking those questions and trying to get to some kind of answer. It's a long journey with lots of pictures and references, so who knows exactly where we'll end up. But we don't stop digging until we've dug too deep and then we dig just a little bit more, for kicks.
If you have any additional information, let me know. Maybe we'll find some more tunnels to explore to get to the very very bottom of this.

4. Gobcast Episode 4.5: The Gobcast Running Commentary on The Hobbit (1977)
52:42||Season 1, Ep. 4This was my original running commentary of The Hobbit (1977). When I saw how long this commentary was going, I finished this up but realized I needed to do something different to shorten things up and stay focused on just the goblin parts. So this is kind of a scene by scene collection of thoughts while watching this excellent film. I really got into it. So in a way, this is more about my thoughts than just hitting the goblin perspective.
