About the Book
The neurotic Throbbit Bobo Buggins is kidnapped by a throng of Dweebs and forced to aid them in regaining their technological treasures, which are trapped beneath the Silicon Mountain. On a mission led by Randolf the Wizard, they must overcome a costly Troll Booth, the David Bowie-esque Gooblin King, drunken frat boy Elfises, a contest with the creature Scrottum, and ultimately a fire-breathing Drag Queen called Smag.
Richardson Productions in association with Pixel Stream Pictures proudly presents The Throbbit. Watch the film and then read about how this epic parody was made with loving and irreverent care by director Tim Richardson and his co-writers Michael Kouroubetes and David Boyer.
Featuring an incredible cast (some returning after also performing in The Dork of the Rings), a fantastic crew, and an incredible award-winning art team, The Throbbit is a satirical masterpiece of J. R. R. Tolkien's The Hobbit, as well as director Peter Jackson's adaptation.
In this detailed book, the cast and crew describe in their own words what it was liking working on the film: from pre-production all the way to nationwide screenings, including the Gen Con Film Festival in Indianapolis and the Orlando Nerd Fest.
