In this week’s episode, Fern teaches Julia about fairy tales! Join us as we explore the history of folktale, the rise of the literary fairy tale, the tropes and conventions of the genre, and J.R.R. “Jorts” Tolkien’s most famous essay, “On Fairy Stories.” How does our understanding of Star Wars shift and develop when we consider it in the context of this literary tradition? What do fairy tales and stories like Star Wars “offer” us in our adult lives? And will Hank Green finally admit that Star Wars is more fantasy than science fiction?
Points of Interest: There is Only One Step and it is Crab, Jorts Tolkien, Snow White’s Jazz Party, Ezra Pound’s Little Fascist Podcast, Special Babies, Julia and Hank Green’s TikTok Beef
