Description

It’s episode 95 and the Sinister Sisters are celebrating by reading Sarah’s drunk Mardi Gras texts! Drunk Sarah was, yes, but grim she was not. In today’s group episode, the sisters discuss the history of the Brothers Grimm and share some of their favorite fairy tales from their collection. Morgan tells the story of The Frog Prince - a tale about a frog with a lot of demands and a rude princess that cares none - and Death’s Messenger - a fairy tale that feels like it should be a Blockbuster movie. Erin retells the tales of Rapunzel (not to be confused with the Mandy Moore version) and The Juniper Tree where a bird breaks out in song. Sarah ends the episode with a telling of Fitcher’s Bird where a mysterious sorcerer and a secret room scream big red flags. If you’re beautiful the sun will shine on you more!
