  • Episode 192: Seven Minutes In Samurai

    We're kicking off What the Spooklore with "the Peony Lantern" from Japan. How spooky is it? Our old friend the Spooktrolyzer is back to help us figure that out, but we'll say this: there are probably more ghosts than there really NEED to be.

    The phrase "crime tokens" in the new Spiderman game is a little misleading. What should it mean? Obviously they're something that criminals give to other criminals to show appreciate for their crime skills.

  • Episode 191: Bog's Burgers

    "Jack and His Master" is an old-fashioned fairy tale about some dum-dums who get into a mess they could have avoided. If any of them had just done the game theory (pushes glasses up nose) they would have known better.

    Editor's note: there's about a minute of audio that sounds a bit different, this was recorded later because we needed to make sure we had some facts straight.

    This episode brought to you by executive producer Liz Wilde, Aarne-Thompson type A1241, "Made From Clay "

    Suggested talking points: Jack Coolteen, pro four square moves, skin inches, game theory calculations, the many kinds of servants, upskirts of the Burgermeister, duck duck goose: survival, dark Ronald McDonald, a spot of boy torture, bog smokin', swamped with cow-bogs, Carman's punk rock playlist, folklore Amelia Bedelia

    Carman's stuck at home without a car, and we have a TV show pitch to keep her company. We're also renaming our fridge, which is... sort of related.

  • Episode 190: Clifford the Big Red Deadly Scorpion

    "The Story of a Scorpion Who Was the Son of Adam" is what we're reading this week, with periodic interruptions of Very Good Ideas that the right people on Twitter needed to know about immediately. The story itself is the result of someone really crunching to make a deadline.

    This episode brought to you by executive producer Mcatnip, Aarne-Thompson type 2033, "Henny Penny Thinks the Sky Is Falling"

    Suggested talking points: Mister Minister Minster, medieval gun, gunchucks from Monster Hunter, advanced haggling, tupperware goblet, ye olde thermos, dad wine kisses, scorpion swears, piggy bits, a botched rule of threes, keep it in your fig

  • Episode 189: Unprecedented Access to Fruit: The Goddess of Mercy Part II

    We're finishing up "The Goddess of Mercy: a Biography of the Bodhisattva" this week, though honestly, we probably could have just called it last week and it would have been fine. Tiger makes a comeback, which gives us something to hang on to throughout the many twists and turns of this story.

    Suggested talking points: the tiger temp, the sweet science of perfection, the Who album recommendations, mountain pirates, Ghost Buddies by Steven King, tricked out Buddha, priest shell, the stewmancer
