🧚‍♀️🩸 Episode 161: FAIRY TALES ARE TERRIFYING 🩸🧚‍♀️

Once upon a time, two brave, beautiful, and moderately unhinged men set out on a quest…

This week Matty & Andrew go down the breadcrumb trail of fairy tale horror — the actual famine that birthed Hansel & Gretel, why Little Red Riding Hood was never really about a wolf, the patriarchy hiding inside every "happily ever after," and how the Brothers Grimm themselves softened their own stories until biological mothers became stepmothers (because heaven forbid a real mother abandon her kids).

Also: Jacob Grimm wanted to be remembered for his German dictionary. Nobody remembers the dictionary. đź’€

And then we watched some movies. 🍿

🎬 GRETEL & HANSEL — Oz Perkins (yes, Anthony Perkins' son) gives us a witchy coming-of-age fairy tale shot at the literal Hell Fire Club in the Dublin Mountains. Sophia Lillis. Alice Krige. Vibes for days.

🎬 THE UGLY STEPSISTER — Cinderella from the villain's POV. Norwegian feminist body horror. Tapeworms. Surgeries. A 96% on Rotten Tomatoes. Sundance 2025's buzziest midnight title and we are OBSESSED.

Plus: Horror in Real Life, Whatcha Been Watchin' Bitch, and a closing game of DID DISNEY LIE?
