What The Folklore?

What started off as a pretty innocent story took such a nonsensical turn partway through that it has embittered and angered us forever. And it's not even the part about a king's creepy wife-hair doll obsession, or stealing healing birds from needy babies. In episode 57 of "What the Folklore?" we read "Kate Crackernuts."

Suggested talking points: ​Creepy hair dolls, chicken lesbians, worst bread parts, egg-based languages, the Chik-Fil-A Bunker, noticeably unnoticed, go where the people aren't, dusting for magic, pot no surgeon, carpe yesterday, how you Cronkite, the Fault In Our Sta-a-a-a-a-ars

Excerpts of unused material taken from episode 60 of "What the Folklore?" Despite our intentions, this ramblecast is very Nicholas-Cage centric. We spend some time thinking about his best screen partners, theorizing on his acting methods, and otherwise trying to peer into the crawling chaos that is Cage.

The noble Polish people have a complete lock on the absolute best fairy tale names. Though, considering fairy tales' overall tendency to not name anyone, maybe that's not a high bar. Our cast of characters for our story "Prince Unexpected" involves the prince himself, and one Immortal Bony. Enjoy.

If "The Feather of Bright Finist the Falcon" one sounds a little bit familiar, that's because fairy tale writers really liked to rip each other off. Just add a coal-eating horse and some spatially-challenged witches to the Greenish Bird story, and you've got this one!

Suggested talking points: Clothing long con, cat sweater marriage, sweatpants commitment, window-shopping in church, knife the windowsill, knifeboots, the stink of Russia, fire-eating Mr. Ed, falcon-man's falcon-times, some omnipotent asshole, fizzy lifting to the moon

In this week's ramblecast, we discuss how Japanese Robin Hood is just Star Wars, plot out a movie about Weepee Berman's ordinary day, and try to solve the problem of getting stuck in the front row of the theater.

This story, "The Weaver Fairy and the Buffalo Boy," might not make a lot of sense, but war never does. Episode 57 is our Vietnam War/CCR themed episode, and while we don't end up filling in a lot of plotholes, we do discover the new, highly-marketable genre Buffalo YA fiction.

We're finishing "The Green Serpent" this week. It's almost over, everyone. Just hold on a little bit longer, and you're free. If you detect notes of fatigue and despair in our voices, that's no joke. Spoiler alert: there's a whole, unrelated story inside this story. There are no words, just listen.
