540: More top-rated fairy tales from Grimm

What this episode covers

With special guest Longinus, the boys review Garage Beer, then discuss some fairy tales. The two stories reviewed in today's episode came in at #2 and #1 in a recent contest between Grimm's fairy tales. Pigweed, Crowhill, and Longinus review the stories and evaluate the imagery and messages they contain. Coming in at #2 is The Juniper Tree, which is a very grim Grimm fairy tale. It includes the classic child with an evil step mother, but this step mother's sins will curdle your blood. It includes a magical tree, a magical bird, biblical allusions, and more.
