This week's story session is a 2-for-1! The first is another story that sets unrealistic expectations for what to expect from animals if you do them a single favor, while the second answers the question nobody is asking: "why do beans look like that?" All that and more in this week's story session!

This week's story session features Herr Fix-It-Up, a tale about a fellow with psychotic levels of confidence who only cares about one thing: get the job done. You can (and should) question his methods and motivations, but you can't question that the guy gets results... horrifying, bloody results. All that and more in this week's story session!

This week's story session features the classic Hansel and Gretel, that old tale about abandoning children to die in the woods, only for them to be kidnapped by an old witch who can only do food magic and doesn't really seem to be a legitimate threat in any way. I honestly don't know why this was such a difficult situation for the kids to get out of. We'll get into all that and more on this week's story session!

This week's story is Rapunzel, the first big recognizable name of Grimm's Fairy Tales! Of course, the original is much more twisted and nonsensical than modern retellings and it's debatable whether anything is actually better at the end of the story than at the beginning. I don't want to spoil it, so go right ahead and dive right into another story session!

Little Brother and Little Sister, the next of Grimm's Fairy Tales, features some classic fairy tale tropes and some new twists - evil stepmother, animal transformations, and ANOTHER king finding a maiden in a tree in the forest! Just when you think you know what's going on, boom! Ghost! And of course it wouldn't be a classic folk tale without a good dose of casual murder. Dive on into another story session!

This week's episode features the next of Grimm's Fairy Tales: Riffraff, an absolute mess of a tale following two ne'er-do-well chickens who rampage across the countryside subjecting their neighbors to theft, violence, forced labor, and harmful pranks.
