Meanwhile, Ron McAdams chats with Cory Hylton about his experiences at DragonCon, and Ryan and Robb debate which was worse: “Manos: The Hands of Fate” or “Pod People”. All of this and a painfully long discussion of “Doug” and “Rugrats”, on this week’s episode of the Revival League Podcast!

Rise up, comrades, and join the Revival League’s “Labor Day Worker’s Soda Review!” The “Gang of Four” -- Greg, Ron, Robb and Erica (plus special guest Frank “Zombie Nightmare” Dietz) -- sample sodas from across Eastern Europe. The results are anything but revolutionary. It’s a Long March as the gang questions the means of soda production, all while sipping such Iron Curtain flavors as tarragon, elderberry, bitter lemon, sour cherry, quinine and anise. Soft drinks from Slovenia, the Czech Republic, Georgia, and Bosnia and Herzegovina all march across everyone’s taste buds, until their poor palates start Stalin out. This Labor Day Special certainly left its Marx. The consensus: most of these beverages would be improved with a stiff shot of vodka. All this, and a long winter’s bread line, on this week’s episode of the Revival League Podcast!

Next up from the set of Season 12 of "Mystery Science Theater 3000," the Revival League interviews Test Subject and Show Host Jonah Ray... but something seems a little off. Who will win in this battle of wits... Jonah Ray, or his stand in, Fauxnah Ray (who noisily eats a sandwich during his interview)? Greg heads to Salt Lake City for a MSTie baby shower, and hangs out with James. In the Mini Soda Review, Greg and James dive into the purple, syrupy horror that is Bedford's Marionberry Cream.

On this episode of the Revival League Podcast, things go horribly awry when Ryan inadvertently uses a poorly thought-out expression and Greg, James and Robb spend the rest of the episode berating him. Also, the gang talks way too much about 80s TV staple "Hardcastle & McCormick" and discuss "Ant Man and the Wasp". Plus, Ron interviews Nick Evans, the voice of ICWXP's Topsy Bot 5000.
