Miserable Retail Slave is a long-running improv comedy podcast. It’s like an early morning radio show designed to entertain you. We deal with life, love, and the odd daily occurrences that make life interesting. Come join our journey as we attempt to escape from day jobs and ascend to the jobs in entertainment that we’ve always dreamed about.
Someone's Favorite Movie podcast talks about two 1980s slashers: Killer Workout (AKA Aerobicide) and Death Spa. These are hardly horror classics, but are they at least fun? Joining me is special guest, Dan from the Netflix n' Swill podcast and Tom Coe from Jake and Tom Conquer the World.
Read MoreStay Tuned is that sort of edgy PG “family” movie that was made in the early 90s. There isn’t much in the way of vulgarity or sexual situations.

It's wired into the nation's DNA. America started life as the anemic little brother of England. Every immigrant that ever passed through Ellis Island had big dreams, but plenty of doubters back in their homeland.
Pop culture is nothing, but a reflection of the likes and dislikes of society itself. From the Rocky series to Spider-Man to The Karate Kid to Rudy, the underdog has become a popular and important part of entertainment. The underdog makes us cheer for him, makes us smile and feel good when he achieves his dreams, and lets us believe that we can overcome our own obstacles and persevere in the face of adversity.
