    #58: The Dog and the Sparrow
    Nov 10 2024
    This week we have a wonderful tale of friendship and kindness. Oh, and vengeance -- brutal, absolute vengeance. It's sweet and to the point and we quickly slotted it straight into the A tier.

    #57: The Golden Bird
    Nov 4 2024
    We seem to be on a roll with this theme of making poor decisions, though now it's just willful ignorance and stupidity. A real FAFO situation. It's still entertaining, though, so we gave it a solid B.

    From the depths of your darkest imagination...just in time for Halloween...we return. It's been a long time! Here's a rollicking tale of idiot decisions and unlikeable characters that we averaged out to a C. Mike even wrote a pitch for once!

    #55: Rumpelstiltskin
    Aug 19 2024
    We're on a tear with the big names lately, even if they end up a little flatter than others and this one is no exception at a B. We find ties to lots of other themes, though, and even uncover what the modern day Rumpelstiltskin may be.

    #54: The Knapsack, the Hat, and the Horn
    Aug 12 2024
    This is a weird one, it gets a B. There are similar themes from other stories but muddier here. We spice it up with a little Game of Thrones, a dash of Magic: the Gathering, and a heaping tablespoon of Guns N' Roses.

    It's a big one! Phil ranks this one S-tier but Mike's not convinced. Join our gullible AF heroine in a surprisingly poetic tale with callbacks to The Juniper Tree and learn about its darker twists in earlier editions.

    #52: King Thrushbeard
    Jul 29 2024
    Behold a real villain of a prince in this C-rank tale full of gaslighting and humiliation. The moral is trash but we manage to spin some raunchy metaphors and a superior 90s revenge fantasy pitch movie out of it!
