It's been a rough week for Amelia and Razz, with sickness, technological issues, failing to acquire 'very legal DVDs' of Brokenwood Season 3 and being negged in the New Zealand books media, but the gals are back and focussed on the only thing that really matters: S03E01 The Black Widower.Ray Nielson is more than just the proprietor of the Frog & Cheetah, he's also the owner-operator of Ray's Tours: a knock-off Lord of the Rings tour company that swindles non-English speaking tourists into paying outrageous prices for a close up look at Rivendella and Helmet's Deep. But what really brings them in is the special lunch. What doesn't bring in the tourists? Ray's wife Debbie being found dead wrapped up in cobweb suit as part of a recreation of Biblo Baggins' famous battle with Shelob the giant spider. In other news, Jared's a horse guy now. And Kristin won't stop asking Mike about his drowned wife. All of this and more! Amelia's been on Shelob the spider's Wikipedia. Rebecca thinks that Brokenwood needs a German consultant. We also hear the backstory of how the podcast came to be but more importantly, a fascinating anecdote about when Amelia got bullied after seeing Revenge of the Sith in 2005. Karawhiua.
