Mythology Blown Apart: The White Snake (Grimm’s Fairy Tales)
This episode of Mythology Blown Apart will proceed a bit differently. We will attempt to defuse this one carefully, so please take a pair of goggles that Fox is handing out and go behind the concrete barrier. For all its humble appearance, and origins, this one carries quite a bit of explosive power. (Maybe because,…
