The Damn Dirty Drive-In

He's tall! He's bony! He's a hench! He's the talented Tim Ryder, writer and improvisational actor out of Chicago, and part of the new season of "Mystery Science Theater 3000: The Return." The podcast gang talks with Tim for their long-form interview. Greg, Kate and Ryan ponder drunken crayfish, and the scientists who make them that way. Then it's off for a raucous discussion of the Hong Kong tokusatsu flick, "The Super Inframan," a hallucinogenic rubber-monster mess that actually influenced the new season of MST3K. Greg recommends everyone see the body-switching anime romance, "Your Name." Meanwhile, in the Mini Soda Review, Frostie Orange Soda fails to wow the gang. But Kate and Greg overcome their boredom by sadistically gaslighting Ryan in A Very Adamant Stance. And in Reviewers in The MST, James and Ron tackle The MST3K Movie itself with "This Island Earth." All this and a band of scrappy kids braving a booby-trapped cave to find pirate treasure while being chased by bumbling gangsters, on this week's episode of the Revival League Podcast!

Then it's time for a weighty discussion on the importance of clean driveways with Felicia Day. The gang embrace their inner Sadie Hawkinses and sample the syrupy moonshine knockoff Kickapoo Joy Juice Fruit Shine Red Sangria. And Ryan's Very Adamant Stance goes horribly awry when Kate and Greg reveal their hands as frenemies. All this and Don Knotts wistfully wishing he was a fish, on this week's episode of the Revival League Podcast!
