The Hansel and Gretel Code

The Grimms Meet a Bond Villain, or Game of Dominos


Listen Later

The Grimm brothers challenge Goldfinger to a high stakes game of dominos. Nobody wins but somebody orders a pineapple pizza and history starts repeating itself. Dominos fall, Richie Havens sings, and the Grimm boys show their true color(s)

PART 1 [03:51] In which we quote some experts, and boldly go where none of them have gone before

PART 2 [08:17] In which we start counting dominos, while the Grimms become migrant workers and ex-pats

PART 3 [20:53] In which we name a few more falling dominos, and make a necessary political comparison because history just keeps repeating itself

PART 4 [33:23] In which we watch the final seven dominos fall and, after a leak, see them go viral

PART 5 [41:29] In which we find the brothers locked into an epic battle with a Bond villain, armed only with a feather pen and invisible ink
