What The Folklore?

Latest Episodes:

Episode 98: The Shaun White Mystery Machine: The Snow Queen Part I Dec 13, 2016

Show notes

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: kinda opus, a cheerful demon, the spinach mirror, modern day witch covens, dire frats, 2 Bad Shardz, medieval skitchin', saying your nightly multiplication tables, double evil, evil married

Ramblecast 98 Dec 11, 2016

Show notes

Excerpts of unused material from various episodes of WTFolklore, wherein we redefine the marketing world by applying an insect-bite pain index to product ratio, and found Folklore Island, a dictator's home away from home.

Episode 97: Farewell, Mr. Potato King? Dec 06, 2016

Show notes

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 mines, a bad robbery plan, slaughter by punching, sausage bladder, ancient vore, potato recipes, the value of a kreuzer coin, farmer advice, a zebra cake chicken, an exploration of the fetishes

Ramblecast 97 Dec 04, 2016

Show notes

On this week's ramblecast, we take a long hard look at Pixar's marketing tactics and suggest some Pixar movies of our own.

Episode 96: The Bony Connection Nov 29, 2016

Show notes

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. But it does paint an awfully pretty picture. This week we're reading "The Golden Apples and the Nine Peahens."

Cricket’s Opening Remarks, #followthefunny, A Dance of Sex Without Any Dress, Rebellious Apples, A Witch on Retainer, The Hair Olympics, A Whistle That Makes Edison Go to Sleep, Prince Bloodmancer, Keeping Up With the Khans, Johnny Appleswag

Show notes

Excerpts of unused material from episode 96 of "What the Folklore?", wherein we catch Pokemon fever!! (Not to be confused with Pokerus)

Episode 95: Denmark to Dunkostan Nov 22, 2016

Show notes

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. But at least they're focused on what really matters in life: dunks, as we read "Blockhead Hans."

Suggested talking points: loose tenderloins, dunkdunk, donkey donuts, shoe-turkey, a bird's natural jellies, cranblasted, Baron Sorkin, bucket sofa paper, Tilda Swinton library card, Shrek endings, the Trunchbull defense, Patton Oswalt ant golem

Ramblecast 95 Nov 20, 2016

Show notes

This week we're revisiting our very first story, to take a look at some crucial details that were overlooked. Madame d'Aulnoy strikes again.

Episode 94: A Heartfelt Family Cashgrab Nov 15, 2016

Show notes

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 talking points: Blasted Husk of “Rome II,” 2DS Therapy, Joke Scraps, Soft-Serve Cow, Mario Taught Us Well, Child-Based Economy, The Luxury of Breastfeeding, Shyamalan Half-Chub, Chicken Kiln, Fairy Beanstalk Investigator, Opening the Murder Door

Ramblecast 94: #ShitPresidentsSay Edition Nov 13, 2016

Show notes

So, this Ramble is a little unorthodox and may be mostly un-funny, but in our defense, it wasn't a very funny week.
