In Ep.39 the Grimms write a clunky, cranky op-ed piece and raise the ghost of Virgil Sollozzo Part 1 [11:16] - In which we find the Grimms embellishing the truth, and sneaking some personal complaints into the story… complaints that only you and I were supposed to hear Part 2 [17:58] - In which we debate the meaning of belief in turtles and end up …
