Jump off the fishing boat into the mythology pool, spooky kids, because today we're going back to the twelfth century via 2003, with the animated film Y Mabinogi! For this whirlwind introduction to Welsh mythology, Ren Wednesday and Adam Whybray are joined by returning guest Mattie Dogrose to chat skeletal horses, mouse gallows and of course, carrying the giant severed -- but still living -- head of your leader home from Ireland.
Many thanks to Mattie to introdcung us to this film and these stories!

Who Framed Roger Rabbit & Terrorvision
Ren Wednesday and Adam Whybray are joined by returning guest Ava Foxfort (veteran of our Deptford Mice episodes) to talk about the beloved 80s masterpiece Terrorvision, and also some film called Who Framed Roger Rabbit. The Bob Hoskins Appreciation Society is fully represented, and the adjective grody finds its perfect application. Grab yourself a specific brand of lager beer, and get on into it!
*Unlike the movie Terrorvision, this podcast is not sponsered by any American beer companies.

Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator
We've got a sequel on our hands, spooky kids, and you'd better believe it's disquieting and unsatisfying! Ren Wednesday and Adam Whybray are back to discuss Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator, Roald Dahl's hodge-podge of a sequel to his beloved classic Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Hotel employees are eaten alive by aliens! Willy Wonka reveals the chocolate factory contains a hell dimension! And there's some really tedious poems! You'd be forgiven for skipping this book, but have a listen to the episode.
