Michael and Ethan present extremely good theories regarding The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, by Mark Twain.

In this episode:

Plagiarism encouraged

Prosecuted, banished, and shot

A wife’s theory shamefully rejected

Is Mary real?

Is Huck Don Quixote?

Or is Huck… much more sinister still?

Tom Sawyer is both a jock and a cop

Sorry we assassinated Huck’s character. Or, not sorry
