Who wrote The Frog Prince, Cinderella, Rapunzel, and Little Red Riding Hood? The Brothers Grimm! And who wrote a terrible letter telling Richard not to marry Emily? Perhaps someone even more terrifying! This ep takes a closer look at the fairy tales you probably grew up on, as well as the much more gruesome versions you probably didn’t. We talk a not-so-great movie with Matt Damon and Heath Ledger, our favorite fairy tales as kids, and why the Grimms would be shocked by a certain letter found in the Gilmores’ basement. Plus, a special fairy tale story reading courtesy of Kyla’s mom!
