#64: The Golden Goose

Did the Grimm Brothers have an idiot younger brother? With another return of Simpleton, we can't help but wonder. This story only netted out to B-tier but may have inspired Katamari Damacy. CW: miscarriage/abortion

#63: The Three Feathers

Here's a funky little story of helpful frogs and absolutely insufferable older brothers. We were split on grading, but let's call it an A-?

#62: The Queen Bee

This week we have a delightful little story about helping animals that we, unsurprisingly, managed to spin into conversation of gay erotica and beheading the French aristocracy.

Welcome to season 5! We're kicking off a slew of short -- but mighty -- stories with this tale about the smartest idiot in town paired with a dash of adultery for flavor. Enjoy!

#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.
