Episode 121: Gordie's Awkward Party Corner May 09, 2017

Show notes

This week's story "The Boy With the Very Long Hair" has a reasonable foundation, but just needs a little bit of spice at the end to get things really popping. Which is where we come in. Sometimes it just takes a few dedicated people who are fixated on a couple of non-related topics to get a story right.

Suggested talking points: Google Spy, baby Schwarzenegger, hunting a place to belong, Winnie the Pool Psychic Puzzle Master, a quick diatribe on Remus Lupin, Harry Potter conspiracies, judging judges, personal year systems, spirit favors, spirit high school

Ramblecast 121 May 07, 2017

Show notes

This week we pause to consider the creators of things that are memed, parodied, and otherwise remade. Including the writers of folklore, and the creator of Clippy. Warning: there are some graphic pictures of that paperclip out there.

Episode 120: A Half-Empty Horse Receptacle May 02, 2017

Show notes

This story "The Princess Bellaflor" makes more sense when you start to consider the drug habits of horses, and do a little measuring as to the soul capacity of a horse's body. We didn't get a movie out of this story, but we did out of a pretty sweet related project.

Suggested talking points: the Mouse's sticky paws, the dairy bifurcation, hot-boxing ants, animal A-Team, crackhead horse soul, butt brains, Jimbo the Spanish Story Prodigy, the saloon door of drugs

Ramblecast 120 Apr 30, 2017

Show notes

We found a treasure trove of knockoff animated movies made by a Brazilian studio, and discuss why Netflix changed its rating system. The short answer is that Tyler abused the old one.

Episode 119: Multipass Fashion Pack Apr 25, 2017

Show notes

What we initially hoped was a dinosaur-centric story turned out to be... not quite that. "Clever Lass" refers to a human woman, not a dinosaur. But we still think it was a worthy gamble.

Suggested talking points: Mr. Science Fiction/Witcher Author Michael Crichton, dinosaur priorities, proto-knife girl, blogging instincts, stored riddles

Ramblecast 119 Apr 23, 2017

Show notes

We're exploring all of the ways Disney has missed opportunities with their fairy tales, and updating their plots to involve modern conflicts.

Episode 118: The Hula Hoop of Destiny Apr 18, 2017

Show notes

This week's story, "Molly Whuppie," is one of those that just needs a little bit of massaging for it to really take shape, which is where we come in. But at least it features a competent main character, and those are hard to come by.

Suggested talking points: a triple cannibal murder, an extreme ding dong dash, Tyler's pizza adventure, reverse peeing, enemy grinds, gateway party drugs, a better lumberjack calendar

Episode 117: Brought to You By the Letter D Apr 11, 2017

Show notes

What happens when the book of fate is very non-specific, and/or wrong? Is the error fated, or do you just chalk it down to some kind of clerical goof-em-up and move on? We're going to found out in "The Prince and the Three Fates." Also if you're into mixing animals together, stay tuned.

Suggested talking points: A William Faulkner fairy tale, how we want to die, animals that start with D, peepin' the D, centaur breeding, more species classifications, snake milk trap
