In the early 1800s, the Brothers Grimm famously collected German folk tales and recorded them for posterity, launching what's now known as the modern fairy tale. Join Philippe, Mike, and guests as they explore one story at a time with humor, history, and digressions at every turn.

#60: The Two Brothers

Our thrilling conclusion to season 4 is what has got to be the longest Grimm tale ever, a solid B+ full of animals, treachery, and our first slapstick beheading.

#59: Frederick and Catherine

In what Phil calls "Amelia Bedelia Goes to Germany," we have another A-tier based solely on its comedic value. If anything, it's the greatest cheese retrieval story ever told.

#58: The Dog and the Sparrow

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

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.

#56: Sweetheart Roland

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

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

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.

#53: Little Snow White

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. CW: miscarriage
