This month, Josh and Michial discuss the first half of a Sheherazadean tale so long it's basically a mid-length novel, "King Umar ibn-Nu'man and His Family." It's got everything from old ladies farting to holy wars to philosophical disquisitions, and we're talking about it all! Join us!

Episode 62: Wish
Josh and Michial take a sloth-driven break from the Grimms and talk about the 62nd full-length Disney animated feature, 2023's Wish. Spoiler alert: It's not as bad as everyone said it is, but it certainly doesn't instill us with any faith in the company. We also announce our next book series!
