Join fairy tale enthusiasts Drew and Cassie as they discuss the world of film and literary adaptations! Each month they will choose a specific fairy tale, and each week they will discuss a different book, movie, or musical adaptation of that fairy tale, exploring the way authors and artists retell, change, twist, conserve, and diversify the same stories over and over.

Ep. 103: Shelley Duvall's Faerie Tale Theatre: Rumpelstiltskin (1982)

November 23, 2022

Drew and Cassie are thrilled to be joined by Kimmy and Ryan from the Aloreing podcast for our third week of Rumpelstiltskin Month! We return once again to Shelley Duvall's Faerie Tale Theatre to discuss the second episode of the series, Rumpelstiltskin, starring Shelley Duvall herself as the Miller's Daughter. This episode of the show is a relatively straight forward adaptation of the Brothers Grimm story, and though it gets goofy, it doesn't go off the rails nearly as much as some of the other episodes of Faerie Tale Theatre! Along the way, we discuss Shelley Duvall's wig, the trumpeter's wig, the trumpet itself, Shrek, Dwight Schrute, Li'l Sebastian, and more!
