Episode 259: Mid-Lion Crisis May 19, 2020

Show notes

This week on WTFolklore, we're covering Achol and Her Wild Mother, a Sudanese tale that we think is an absolutely perfect fit for the brand new and not at all desperate new streaming platform, Quibi!

Suggested talking points: Accidental EGOT, Entry-Level Lion, Bits of Important Limbs, Well-Rassled Steaks, For Quibi's Consideration

Episode 258: The Merchant of Venison May 12, 2020

Show notes

This week on WTFolklore we're reading The Enchanter and The Enchantress,a story so poorly titled it'll make your head spin. It does, however, sport some very compelling characters and some sexy, sexy magic.

Suggested talking points: Gendertoad, Scrambled Dog Eggs (with Ketchup), Internally-screamed Magic Spells, Myth-times Walmart, Crimebelina

Episode 257: Permanently Embarrassed Millionaires May 05, 2020

Show notes

This week we're reading the Haitian tale, The Gizzard, which may sound at first like well-worn territory for us, but in fact comes with many advancements in Gizzard Tech, as well as cautionary information about Yard Devils

Suggested talking points: Fart Margins, Oompa Boompas, The Bacon Flap, GizzPizz, Non-Consensual Blood Brotherhood, Boynana Sundaes, Brain Swag

Episode 256: Lil' Lickey Flame Boys Apr 28, 2020

Spoilers: You will hear 12 loud, unpleasant sounds played in succession from 43:13-43:52, if you would like to skip it.

This week on WTFolklore we're covering Final Fanta..mphg ghppphf splrf (sound of being gagged), (sound of being tied up with ropes)

This week on WTFolklore we're covering The Story of Mo-e Mo-e: Also a Story About Po-o and About Kau-hu-hu the Shark-God, and About Mo-e Moe's Son, The Man Who Was Bold in His Wish, A delightful tale within a tale within a tale within a tale from Hawaii. It's about a spear that can feel love, we think.

Final Folktale IX Mar 24, 2020

Show notes

You know what they say: ninth time's the charm. Nothing exemplifies that more than Final Fantasy IX, a story about virtue, existentialism, frogs, bugs, rat people, airships, canaries, wizard build-a-bears, two planets eating eachother, multiple dimensions, The Darkness of Eternity, and a crystal that manifested life as we know it. It don't get more Final than that.

Final Folktale VIII Mar 17, 2020

Show notes

It's the season of the witch this week, but also, it's always the season of the witch, cause time travel or something. Kids trade in their traumatic memories for ghosts that shoot lightning and a teenager falls in love with the comatose girl he carries like a backpack for 1/4 of the story. You know, just Final Fantasy things.
