@@kommissar.murphy Gosh I haven't tallied it up, but 3 months production with multiple editors, animation/game dev bespoke sprites etc - we're into thousands of dollars
I've watched this episode so many times (it's even my "to fall asleep" episode, and c'mon we all do it) and I still fail to get Jay's riddles everytime lol.
🍻 Thank you for TEN YEARS of OSW! We're still going thanks to your support, no foolin'! Love u guys 💚 Tell us, what's the first OSW you watched/which arc did you become a fan? Next OSW update: updates.OSWreview.com
Been watching religiously since 2016. My first video was an all-time great: Royal Rumble 2001. Still one of the funniest podcasts I've ever listened to. Can of coke to the loads and a happy 10th birthday to my favourite podcast on the Internet.
When I see the Goblin King all I can think of is "Sullivan my son,by the bones of Amankara and the moons of Jupiter...the Dungeon of Dooms monster truck is far superior! "
I stumbled on the channel when I saw a 90 min "review" of wwe and Scooby Doo. I thought it had to be a sneaky way to get the whole movie onto RUclips I clicked it and went back watched everything you made twice over and have been a fan ever since.
That terrible Ballantine Books cover at 20:00 is absolutely real. It was the copy we had in my middle school library in the late 90's that got me started on the entire series! I'd be willing to bet that book is still there to this day.
I would honestly listen to the Lads review pretty much anything. Well done on 10 years you have brought lots of joy, laughter and distraction to many many people. Looking forward to 10 more years. Thank You
I love all of your animation. Just to add. I wouldn't want you guys to do something you wouldn't really want to, but since you guys are all up for it, for sure do the whole trilogy.
One of my favorite jokes about the Eagles “plot hole” is a prediction of what bad faith Internet commentary would look like in a parallel universe where the Eagles did carry them all the way to Mordor. “Wouldn’t it have been so much better to just have all of the fellowship go it on foot? Yeah, it would take longer, and it would be more dangerous, but it alleviates several risks and is better for the narrative. Like, the characters barely have enough time to learn or interact with one another, none of the hobbits have obtained any combat experience before being shoved right into the heart of the enemy, the Eagles were immediately subdued by the drakes and fell beasts, and the Ring of Power easily could have just been stolen by the Eagles, beings of incredible power. Not to mention that we barely see any of Middle Earth, so we don’t get as much of an idea that it’s just as much the land that’s being saved from corruption as the people.” All in all, no amount of narrative changes would’ve stopped pedantic nerds from giving out, and trying to outsmart a work of fantasy fiction.
Ah great to hear from ya! And congrats on the edit, it's so slick. Snipping out Thorin getting jobbed and straight to the eagle rescue. Whopper! 🗡️ Check out Dustin's Durin's Folk and the Hill of Sorcery here! vimeo.com/130716015
@@OSW Thanks friend, there were so many tough editing decisions that were made while putting it together. Cutting out a simple scene or moment could have a ripple effect down the line. It was fun but very challenging!
Happy 10 years ya lads! Thank you for all the amazing content, so many quotable moments and great coverage! I started watching around 2014, not long after WM30, and my first exposure was the Arquette trilogy! Thank you lads!
13:37 so fun fact, the word "Macguffin" was misused by George Lucas to mean what it does today. Originally, it meant a barely important object that contributes only to get the movie going in act 1. What we know as Macguffin today is actually a plot coupon, something that drives the plot from one part to another actively.
Hands down the best part of this episode was the cut list for the dwarves (which btw, was so very needed in the movie. Introduce them, yes, but after that they don't all need to be in every scene). The "Survivor Series" backdrop was golden. Quality work as always gentlemen. Big fan of the Hobbit series. It did not need to be 3 movies though, that was obviously all $$$ related. The story arc was intentionally drawn out to get three movies out of the series but it left to much filler feeling in the movies. The Hobbit series is needed, just like Star Wars Phantom Menace, Attack of the Clones, and Return of the SIth. It helps to set up the gaps before LOTR and answer some questions but just imagine how this would have played out had the Hobbit gone first to screen before LOTR.
i went to the hobbiton with some friends in new Zeeland when i was over there for a week during my travels in 2013. we walked some hills, looked at the hobbit houses (from the outside), saw a broken tree, and tried the shitty beer,. the highlight of the tour was when one of the lads stole a cup from the crew food hall, he thought that it could be peter Jacksons personal cup.
Happy 10th anniversary to OSW Review! Glad to see you guys still going strong after a decade. I regret not jumping on board earlier (started in early 2017 when the TNA arc started) but glad I did and easily it has become one of my all-time favourite RUclips channels/podcasts. Loved this episode, probably my favourite film review yet. Lord of the Rings is my favourite film trilogy and the extras for them are the best behind the scenes stuff I have seen of any movie since I enjoyed how they did certain things with the minatures, VFX and all that stuff. I am definitely down for you three to do The Desolation of Smaug and Battle of the Five Armies. Even though I own the extended editions of them on Blu-Ray, I have never watched them (only seen them once at the cinema upon release). Make them a yearly thing like the film releases themselves. Oh and yes to Justice Beague also. :P
AW YEAH! XD Movie review! I remember seeing this in that 48fps 3D screening... which took a slight bit to get used to, was kind of cool... but i was dealing with a swollen/sore ankle during it, so not my favorite movie going experience. XD Still, great vid, can't wait for more! HAPPY TEN YEARS OF NOGGER GOODNESS!
Yeah, I vaguely recall that the parts where you played as Kong himself were pretty janky, but the FPS sections fighting off raptors with spears were a total blast.
@@lutherheggs451 What are then? I loved Spiderman 2 and some of the old Lord of the Rings games, but in general movie tie-ins are known less for their quality and more for rushing out a quick product to capitalize on the hype from a recent film's release.
Paused for each riddle and I couldn't figure out the first one, but nailed the rest after. The first riddle is always the hardest. This should be a segment every show. Loved it!
Crazy how 10 years fly Happy Anniversary OSW and heres to 10 more years in the business, also i really like the hobbit triology, the characters were fantastic and the music was great to
Love the review, I thought the whole concern with the dragon was. if, Sauron came back he could get the dragon to join him and it would be a huge threat to the whole world. That's why Gandolf wanted to go confront the dragon.
@@MsCholmondley-Warner While I do think Gandalf was right in a better-safe-than-sorry sort of way, I was never able to imagine Smaug saying anything other than, "...Sauron? Nah, mate. Wake me up if the one guy I might actually still respect ever comes back." Sauron, even before he lost most of his power creating and losing the ring, was fought to a standstill by one admittedly super-awesome elf, jobbed out by an admittedly super-awesome dog and mortally wounded two-on-one by an Elf and a man. Hard to imagine a dragon of Smaug's power considering him worth paying much attention to, particularly when he's already got everything he wants out of life. The first two happened even before the _first_ time he was significantly depowered.
I actually had that black and teal softback version of the Hobbit they showed here. It was my introduction to the world of Tolkien. It was a book club free book in school and I chose that book bc of that cover. I was instantly in love with the story and couldn't believe they then made epic movies from them. Brilliant.

Same thing i tell my girlfriend
That's what she said.
Happy 10 year anniversary OSW!
Here's to 10 more ya' fookin animals!
Its yerself!
Need a crossover mate.
Definitely need to see a crossover!
OOC having a Lord of The Rings tramp stamp is now my favorite piece of OSW lore
So this is why OOC got his pick. Now I get it.
"that men can blam on"
Without question
Would explain his gravitation to Tramp Stamp Hoyt
I love the gimmick of OOC leading the conversation only once every 10 years. Very in character
“Have you not read ‘Of Mice and Men’”??

I think I got on board in 2014, during the ECW arc
I found you during the TNA arc. Watched the whole back catalog multiple times and can't, but inevitably will, wait to see what's coming up next!
I’ve been on this ride since the hulkamania era and I don’t plan on leaving! Congrats on the success boys!
Andy Serkis playing Gollum for little children made my freaking day. Thank you for that clip, lads!
You're welcome! Seemed the perfect place to put it, and it's so heart-warming to see 🙂

That’s how they got me too 😂
Jay splicing footage of Bilbo's leap over the pumpkin when OOC says "it's a big leap"... WHAT A MANEUVER!

Pretty sure I stole my copy of that same version from my elementary school library. Still got it too!
Lord of the onion rings, battle of the bacon double cheeseburger.
V1 selling of a movie he doesn't like is like Lex Luger selling of wrestling
AAHHH! OHHH!!
@@OMGpandemic I feel like I can actually hear your comment as a sound.
V1 is perpetually "FURIOUS!" at things he doesn't like
I love the irony of Cromwell getting the biggest pop of the review
OOC with the one ring tattoo: WHAT A MARK!
Bilbo Baguette is the first version of The Hobbit that I read
Same! I love that cover Haha
Mine as well, always thought that cover was fucking hilarious.

Congrats on 10 years boys. Here's to anther 10!
Agreed
I thought V1 would be Radagast being homeless and all.
Great video, lads. Made my day! Happy 10th!
I'll have to bring this up next time 😂
He would’ve snapped those poor rabbits’ necks and stomp on their lifeless bodies (probably in front of Lena)
I'm literally crying at "Bilbo Baguette" 😂😂
Two words to describe OOC's Lord of the Rings tattoo... Lance. Hoyt. 😂
The Hobbit 1966 HAD to be the inspiration for the Simpsons Russian Itch & Scratchy skit....."What the hell was that!?"
What a great shout! We need more Worker and Parasite!
BAH, you beat me to it. “Worker & Parasite” was my EXACT thought when watching that part! 🤣
@@OSW If I knew how to edit... I’d splicey-splicey that shit!
Eɴᴅᴜᴛ! Hᴏᴄʜ Hᴇᴄʜ!
OOC hearing that V1 had not seen the 2nd or 3rd Hobbit movies almost turned into his reaction to a 10-hour wrestling show
That is totally the paperback cover of The Hobbit I grew up with!
I love all of your animation. Just to add. I wouldn't want you guys to do something you wouldn't really want to, but since you guys are all up for it, for sure do the whole trilogy.
Yes, it is a kid film - and if there's one thing kids love, it's sitting still for three hours.
I was having a crap week until Jay started talking about middle earth characters using wrestling terminologies. Life is good.
This is a serious affliction! I think in terms of kayfabe and shoot
Didn't expect to see a Tales From Genesis Space reference, but OSW never ceases to surprise me
Thanks to this review, I can't get "The Ballad of Bilbo Baggins" out of my head.
I can confirm that cover is real. We had that copy of The Hobbit in my Junior High's library.
Just here to say: YES to more OSW content, so bring on the other two movies 👍
That Ricky Gervais bit had me crying.
I hope OSW goes on...
“Forever...forever...forever...forever!” - Terry Funk
“....forever!” - Terry Funk
The only movie I've ever seen where I put my hoodie on the back of my seat and just.......fell asleep.
Can imagine OOC coming into the room with jay and v1 saying, " your not running this podcast, I am because I'm o o fucking c" on this review 🤣
OOC knows "Run Lola Run?"
