We have endeavored on a two-parter, so buckle in for a meatier story. We're reading "The Snow Queen" by Hans Christian Andersen, which is the source material for Disney's Frozen. We don't usually tread so close to Disney territory, but there are reasons for this one. And suffice to say that Disney goofed up pretty hard when deciding on what material to use. Suggested talking points: kind...

This protagonist ranks in pretty high on the "worst heroes" list, complete with a circuitous journey that ultimately doesn't lead to much. But he does reconstruct a sausage with his colon (we think) so that's fun. Our story this week is "Thumbling as Journeyman." Suggested talking points: Avian bone syndrome fact-checking, an honest Kraftsman, the first Yelp app, chalkboard min...

The threads of the Fairy Tale Mythos become further interwoven as we take some big leaps in logic to try to get Immortal Bony into as many stories as possible.

Tyler and Gordie are back in control of the Fairy Tale express, and have steered her into strange waters with a story that really doesn't pan out in the end.

You can put your minds at ease, Gordie got his 2DS, and we'll all be there together for its Maiden Voyage. A little less importantly, we might have hit on a complex, tangled web of lies and betrayal surrounding fairies and giants that spans the entire of the known folklore universe. Mario Kart is pretty fun though. Our story this week is a version of "Jack and the Beanstalk". Suggested t...

We have an extra meaty episode this week to make up for last week, so dig into a hefty, weird, nutso story called "The Maiden With the Rose On Her Forehead" that underutilizes the best character: the Cherryman.

We might have our worst main character yet this week, a fun mix of an extremely petulant child, and general uncaring incompetent adult. He's also "The King of Waterfalls", which is the title of our story, but there are no waterfalls in this story. Go figure.

Some weeks you just don't want to talk about the story much: in this case "The Girl Without Hands." It could be because it's full of a cast of characters resignedly going through the motions of the plot, or because you've hit on some great folklore themed party games, and developed certain suspicions about the children's toy Mr. Bucket. Suggested talking points: survival of the shittest,...
