RCWAF is BACK! Hopefully you'll be hearing from us more regularly but also we're pretty bad with regularity. This episode we focus on THE WORST (again) after we had so many requests for a follow up. We had so much fun last time we explored this topic, and really there are so many 'so bad they're good' movies and books out there that we will probably never run out of THE WORST episodes. We also delve into some pretty revealing questions and things unexpectedly get pretty real. Challenges on this episode of THE WORST 2.0: Nick Carter's film "Dead 7" and the children's video "Dream Bunny in Dream Land."  Next episode we are delving into the world of COMEDY and we hope you're ready.  Also please leave us a recorded message on our Anchor Site with some questions you'd like us to answer, something you think we've failed to address, or challenge us to some of your favourite or unfavourite shows/books/things. Or you can drop us a DM on our Instagram page @RCWAFpodcast .  --- Send in a voic

You want this week’s challenges? Well here they are: 2015’s “The Sand” and the webcomic “Sweet Bro and Hella Jeff” This is it! The worst episode of RCWAF! Things get a bit punchy when Francine and Charlie go off the rails exploring the theme of the worst. Jerkitronic antics make it hard for Francine to get through her interview smoothly, despite her obvious talent for sound effects. You think you can handle next week’s challenges? Try these: M83’s 2016 album “Junk” and short story collection “Vampires in the Lemon Grove” by Karen Russel. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/rcwaf/message

Solace for some might be not so soothing to others. Charlie eventually comes up with an interview question that works and they learn about places where solace can be found.
