In this episode Noah takes another whack at the topic of snakes, this time to remind everyone that maybe snakes aren't so bad. From the brothers grim to the ancient Greeks, snakes actually have a history as healers, and sometimes even as creators. While there may be a bit of a silver lining to these scaly beasts, we round out the episode with a quick discussion of chaos and how snakes have been keeping us on our toes for centuries. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/plusone2intellegnce/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/plusone2intellegnce/support…

On this episode, Noah and Sim talk about snakes and why they show up so often as evil entities in stories. From venomous vipers to deadly constrictors, snakes has some sneaky tricks up their sleeves when it comes to living as a carnivore with no limbs. Our hosts ponder how these features contribute to the universal fear factor that comes from snakes, and why snake features get used so often in monster design. They also talk about intelligence, and how the modern perception of snakes and their unintelligent reptile brains is very different from how the first story to include a serpent as an adversary treats them. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/plusone2intellegnce/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/plusone2intellegnce/support…

In this episode, Noah summarizes the the tale of The Wolf and the Seven Little Kids. A fairly traditional fairy tale of a family of woodland animals who face the trickery of an evil wolf who wishes to eat them, and the lengths he'll go to to get what he wants. Like all good fairytales the three strikes and you're out rule will come into play, and later a little bit of revenge will be had along with some medical malpractice. Afterwards we use the example of another German tale, Faust , to launch into a discussion of evil and how to stop it, and explore what it means to be a hero. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/plusone2intellegnce/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/plusone2intellegnce/support…

On this episode Noah and Sim talk about conspiracy theories. Where do the come from, where do they go, why are so many found by old Alex Jones?

On this episode Noah and Sim go through two of the original brothers Grimm fairytales. The first tale is called Our Lady's Child, and tells the story of a young girl who is taken to heaven, tells a lie, and is nearly burned at the stake for it. The second tale, The Story of the Youth Who Went Forth to Learn What Fear Was, is a confusing ghost story that follows a young lad who seems to be so dumb he doesn't even know what fear is. As he travels across the land in search of an answer, he finds many who try and fail to teach him until at last having overcome ghosts, skeletons, and a strange game of nine pins, he learns to shudder from a very unlikely source. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/plusone2intellegnce/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/plusone2intellegnce/support…

Episode 11: Predictable Villain Speeches? 1:00:57

1:00:57

On this episode Noah and Sim invite Noah's wife Becca onto the show to talk about one of Becca's pet peeves. Terrible villain speeches. While most villains have a speech of some sort that is used to explain their intentions to the hero, some of them are really bad. James Bond villains are the classic example, but today our hosts try to tackle a variety of speeches and find out why some are good and why some are good. Noah argues for the general validity of a villain speech as a concept, while Becca and Sim seem to think that villains would suddenly take over the world if they could just shut up. The discussion is heated and a lot gets lost through the cracks, but they put their hearts into it and give the villain speech topic a solid investigating. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/plusone2intellegnce/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/plusone2intellegnce/support…

38:40

In this episode Noah and Sim talk about their favorite Christmas character. Santa is too jolly and Frosty already melted (let's be real guys, he probably wasn't faster than the sun) so naturally it falls to Krampus. Occasionally the bad children need some negative reinforcement to straighten them out that coal from Santa just doesn't provide. Hence the need for a goat demon man to dispense harsh justice on Christmas Eve and make sure that life choices actually mean something, even during the holidays. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/plusone2intellegnce/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/plusone2intellegnce/support…

On this episode Noah takes to the mic by himself to explain a couple of the original Grimms' Fairy Tales. The two tales on the chopping block this week are The Frog-King or Iron Henry, and Cat and Mouse in Partnership. These two short stories are definitely not the childhood style of fairy tale that many of us are familiar with, and leave us with some hard lessons and bitter truths; not to mention a few questions about how all this magic stuff works. It's a wild ride, so strap in and enjoy! --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/plusone2intellegnce/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/plusone2intellegnce/support…

Spoiler warning for Attack on Titan season 4 part one, you might want to skip this episode until you're caught up. Don't worry if you haven't seen it however, since this week we are talking about a universal trope known as the sins of our fathers. Noah and Sim cover three ways this trope can be used, and how the morality of the trope can be twisted to seem either horrendously immoral, or can be a noble burden taken up by a son. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/plusone2intellegnce/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/plusone2intellegnce/support…
