  • Episode 107: The General Mills Truther: Prince Ariel Part I

    It's our second anniversary, which can mean only one thing: Madame d'Aulnoy strikes back with another four-part story, called "Prince Ariel,"and it has all of her hallmarks: made up stuff that makes no sense, long flashbacks, filling in the wrong plotholes, the whole nine yards. Joining us this week is a special guest, Brandon from the podcast Jump Kick Punch!

    Suggested talking points: the human chode, here comes the Madboy, that wombo combo, a General Mills Truther, Gumpin' it, rumspringa for fairies, vengeance on Joe Chill, the truth behind Lucky Charms

  • Ramblecast 107

    Cherry Man keeps coming back. From obscurity to fame, he's become something of a fixation for us. We're talking about his origins, what exactly he is, and how he got his powers.

  • Episode 106: Kanky Spanks

    We're back on schedule following a hectic two weeks or so, and we have a pretty involved theory about this main character's backstory as a cryptid egg/football player whose career went awry. It fills in the gaps of "Cinderstick" very nicely.

    Suggested talking points: Holy day split, the Twisted Fire Stopper, kanky spanks, a Yeti digression, real cryptids, Cinder Rave, too brief a smokebomb, an egg with a football history, footballsman, Everybody Loves Debra

  • Ramblecast 106

    In this week's ramblecast, we're discussing the best way to get in close to be friends with a Tiger, and any legal ramifications involved, as well as addressing the kind of content Youtube needs.

  • Episode 105: The Ariel Parallel

    We got stuck on the Little Mermaid for awhile here, even though there's really no great tie-in. But we're not about the easy life, we'll work hard to make an analogy stick, especially when it doesn't really fit. This week we're reading "The 12 Months."

    Suggested talking points: the Reboot, Prague: Boom City Boom, mermaid reproductive patterns, grub sister, road sniffs, the apple problem, January Fusion Dance, the call of the knife

  • Episode 103: The Church of the Knife

    We accidentally invented a whole new religion for this episode, in which we're reading "Unanana and the Elephant." There are some ties to a recent popular addition to the Folklore Mythos, and what we like most in a story: a character with a plan.

    Suggested talking points: Choo Choo 99, super round babies, police extensions, Babar gets gutted by an angry woman, the bean payoff, the Tony Robbins of the Way of the Knife, knife miracles, the Beauty-Eater, beauty-flippers

  • Ramblecast 103

    The news this week is a little bit too juicy not to dive into this week, so we're contemplating our existential democracy. It's a pretty messed up world out there, but we're here to filter everything for you into something more palatable.

  • Episode 102: Reverse Matilda

    Suggested talking points: an aristocratic reading stand, centaur-bear, beef buds, a treasure trove of iconography, Twisty Rick the Oakslinger, a stingy baker's dozen, notarized beef squadThis week's story "John the Bear" makes a nice addition to the Ur-Story, giving us some room to speculate wildly as to what's going on. A quasi-bear-man kills a bunch of devils in this week, it's pretty weird all around.
