    An excerpt of unused material taken from episode 33 of "What the Folklore?" in which we read "When The Little Blonde Shark Went Visiting" wherein we list our favorite of Shakespeare's numerous works, finalize where you can and cannot play music, look forward past Virtual Reality to "Reality Games", examine the bonds of camaraderie in the world of Pokemon, and uncover the secret union between trains and tornadoes.

  • Episode 32: Father Skeleton Horse

    We're looking at the polar opposite of last week's story. While D'Aulnoy likes to make her stories collapse under the weight of the combined plotlines, Hans Christian Andersen takes a more avant-garde approach: the plotless story. Which is basically just a list of crazy things that happened once. This is certainly the case in "the Elfin Mound."

    Suggested talking points: lizard illuminati, witch whale hunting, kidfinger salads, hemlock Chopped basket, elfin doomsday prepping, Elf Facetime, fairytime cocktail boogie, Hans Christian Andersen foretells the Iraq war

    An excerpt of unused material taken from episode 32 of "What the Folklore?" in which we read "The Elfin Mound" wherein we discuss a mortal kombat style game featuring aging rock stars, question the modern relevancy of kiss, and invent a family-feud style show to keep our thumbs on the pulse of America's desires.

  • Episode 31: If You Like It You Better Put a Pube On It, Part 2

    We're halfway through "The Yellow Dwarf," everyone. Keep your head tucked firmly between your knees if it helps you keep your bearings. We're going to go on some pretty crazy tangents. Really, it's all a tangent. There is no story anymore. Everything feels grey and unreal and the world is shrinking in around us. Send help.

  • Episode 30: If You Like It You Better Put a Pube On It, Part 1

    We're not any more comfortable with the title than you are, believe us. This is a two-parter everyone: Madame d'Aulnoy strikes again with her... opus might not be the right word. We settled on her Finnigan's Wake. It's long, confusing, and borrows bits from lots of other stories, and it's called "The Yellow Dwarf." Just strap in for this one, and hold onto something.

    Suggested talking points: Desert lions, Medieval Tinder, Nightcap truth test, Tree dwarf proposal, Dear desert fairy, Fairytime law, Fairy tale Honey Boo Boo. Secret tree door, Pubic promise ring

  • Episode 29: Doctorlope, MD
    This episode should be nice and relaxing by comparison to the last two. We're going to hang out with some animals in Africa while we read "The Bat and the Sun", exploring the passive aggressive rivalry between the bat and the sun, and their sort-of competent doctor acquaintance.

    An excerpt of unused material taken from episode 29 of "What the Folklore?" in which we read "The Sun and The Bat" wherein we blueprint future lung farming operations, troubleshoot robot babies, combat a spooky underground pterodactyl ghost, and reflect on our favorite improvised movie lines.

  • Episode 28: Backyard Manifest Destiny
    If this story sounds uncomfortably familiar, don't worry: you're not going crazy. This week we take a look at "Hudden and Dudden and Donald O'Leary," the Irish version of last week's story, BEFORE it got horrifying. Though it's full up on gang beatings, so maybe it's not THAT much better.
    Suggested talking points: Cow sludge, Butter Battle Property Line, the price of infinite money, rhyming friends, crazy bag person, cow-surfing, dark gritty fairy tale reboots, hamsacks
