  • Episode 40: Sackless Dummy Says What?

    If your friend is literally named Malice, that should probably be a warning sign to you. Especially when he starts doing you favors, like offering to teach you a king's secret dance. In episode 40 of "What the Folklore?" we read "Bouki Dances the Kokioko" which is just a rush for everyone to figure out a king's super special dance tech.

    Suggested talking points: Folklore Geneva convention, Fairy tale king syndrome, the Quentin Tarantino of dance, stupid dance contests, Malice the Gardener, So You Think You King Dance, the hammer samba shuffle

  • Episode 39: This Is Bread Town

    This episode ended up being oddly Laurence Fishburne-centric. Somehow. Maybe because this whole story, "Tsarevna Frog," is a pretty good parallel to the Matrix. Except it has frogs in it.

    Suggested talking points: Birthday Name Re-training, The Omnipresent Laurence Fishburne, TV Writing Machine, Tsar-Tsar Binks, Aggressive Marriage Proposals, Huge Tracts of Land, Laurence Fishburne the Frog, Waitress Speed-dial, The Indescribable Loaf, BYORug, Wonderball, Hey, It’s Laurence Fishburne Again, The Yagaverse, Coachella The Deathless, Frog Princess Reloaded, Laurence Fishburne Gets the Final Word
