    For Rapunzel's hair to get as long as it did, it would have had to grow a lot faster than anyone else's.  Maybe she would have even been something of a medical oddity.  Maybe the witch thought she was doing Rapunzel a favor by taking her from her parents.  Join me as we imagine a completely new version of the Rapunzel story!

    You remember Hansel and Gretel, right?  Two children are left to die in the woods by their parents.  Ah, those were the days!  The children get caught by an evil witch who uses a house made of tasty treats to lure her victims in.  One kid gets caged and fattened up for the kill.  The other kid is kept around for slave labor until she has an opportunity to kill the witch and escape.  As hard as this story is to believe, what if it actually covers up a much more bizarre and horrible truth?

    For our first episode, we butcher the tale of Goldilocks and the Three Bears.  In the modern story, a little girl called Goldilocks finds a house in the woods.  She finds no one at home with the door unlocked, so she just strolls right in and helps herself.  She breaks a chair by sitting in it, eats some porridge left out to cool on the table, and falls asleep in one of three beds only to wake up to the inhabitants of the home, a family of talking bears, looking at her.  Goldilocks runs away in fear and that's where the story usually ends, but what if there was more?  Does Goldilocks really get away with her wanton acts of vandalism, theft, and trespassing?  Let's find out.
