In this episode we discuss the monsters in Beowulf, Grendel, his mother, and the dragon. Why monsters? Why fight them? Is the modern urge to feel sympathy for Grendel justified?

Then we figure out What It All Means. Is Beowulf some kind of elaborate Christian apology? Or is it just a cool poem about a bro fighting some demons or whatev?

After that, Jake goes to battle with Brandon again, in an attempt to reclaim his Kenning Contest honor.
