Billy Boyd

They have that scene where

Bill...

I'm not tied to Frodo.

He's just the vehicle it's going through.

Okay.

Okay.

We have nothing to say about Billy Boyd.

He's, as in this movie, just completely glossed over.

We're going to get into some of the supporting roles.

My man Billy Boyd shows up again.

I can't wait to shout him out.

But what I really, really was walking away impressed with was the goddamn sound design for this one.

I'm calling him Pippin.

He's not Pippin.

He's Billy Boyd.

Billy Boyd.

And I remember literally watching this with women and they said, ooh, who is that blonde elf? Who is that guy? Yeah.

John Rhys-Davies as Gimli, Billy Boyd as Pippin, Dominique Monaghan as Mary, Liv Tyler as Arwen, Cate Blanchett as Galadriel, Christopher Lee as Saruman, Hugo Weaving as Lord Elrond, and Ian Holm as Bilbo.

That is an amazing cast.

And there are other people in this film as well.

Virtual audience, thank you for joining us.

We are here to celebrate another Billy Boyd, and we, in fact, have done this for every single Billy Boyd, haven't we? I believe so.

Yep, been together through the whole thing.

I think it is a fascinating series, partly because there are real people blended with the fictional people, and especially in this new book you're really going to love it because we have ian fleming and we have the windsors and we have sort of not actual earnest hemingway but

So maybe that's something we can try out online.

The game's going to feature Billy Boyd from Lord of the Rings as Mac Brushy.

He's a talking and singing Scottish power tool.

Yeah.

I forget his name.

Listen, I only know Billy Boyd.

Richard Noble.

Richard Noble.

Pippin gets Gandalf to end the madness, and Denethor jumps to his death.

um i so speaking of trans things and i i promise i will not make everything about gender uh but i always have like very trans vibes and very queer vibes with faramir as like a metaphor with that character of like daddy didn't love this one who doesn't fit like sort of typical gender norms and trying to live up to like some form of masculinity um so i always love that and this is this is one of my favorite sequences i really love this like sense of like i hate my this son he doesn't live up to this gendered aspect for that i have my mind that boromir does we get that green screen shot of boromir that always weirds me out every single time it's really terrible um and then we also get the really great song um by uh by pippin i believe um uh and that actor i'm blanking on his name is it dominic monaghan billy boyd billy boyd yeah he he's such a beautiful voice he even does the final song for the hobbit movie Really, really great.

So yeah, this whole sequence is fantastic.

But Caitlin, what do you think of it?

So Kim, what do you think of this? I

love listening to you both talk.

So never apologize or think that I'm... tapping my toes over here waiting to talk about cherry tomatoes um no you you guys truly uh you truly covered most of it I will just shout out I love the way that the scene the scene of um Denethor eating Billy Billy Boyd's character of Pippin singing is intercut with this uh this ride out to their death effectively um or at least for like most of the people and the way that like There's just increasingly more orcs showing up to oppose them.

The way that...

part of hairy toes yes i believe it i could see him rocking like a trousers like overalls it's a sign of health you know how long hobbits live We went

to the fellowship panel that was hosted by Claire Lim and featured Billy Boyd.

Elijah Wood was supposed to feature David Wenham.

And it was interesting.

Five minutes before they came out.

Yeah, there was a splash screen with John Rhys-Davies there as well.

We're like, is he showing up? What's going on? But it was just Billy Boyd and Elijah Wood.

And Claire Lim did such an excellent job of hosting, I think, the biggest takeaway.
