This week's challenges are Jim Jarmusch's  "Only Lovers Left Alive" and the Netflix Original "Dead To Me." 

Charlie and Francine deal with the hair-raising topic of things beyond logic and reason. They talk about the different ways they deal, and then they deal with the challenges. Be wary of minor spoilers, though the hosts tried their best to avoid big ones this episode!

Next week's challenges are to try to read Erich Von Däniken's "Chariots of the Gods?" and listen to episodes 26 and 27 of the Chilluminati podcast over at https://tinyurl.com/y43jpjmd.

9: The challenges for this week are the short story collection “Vampires in the Lemon Grove” by Karen Russell and the musical album “Junk” by M83.

Charlie and Francine really go the distance with this week’s theme, Theme! After some light literature review touching on themes, the hosts share their own personal hypothetical movie soundtracks. Get a taste of the songs on today’s episode but check out the full listings over at Fran’s blog at francinecunningham.ca. Char’s Youtube playlist can be found over at https://tinyurl.com/y6ghzy6h and Francine’s Spotify playlist is at https://tinyurl.com/yxztp8dc.

Get ready for next week with these challenges: the film Only Lovers Left Alive, and the Netflix show Dead To Me.

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.

Here is the audio for the OFFICIAL ringtone of REAL conversations with ACTUAL friends.

Enjoy!

The challenges this week are all (or just some) of the videos on the “Jordan Go To Sleep” youtube channel and Kelly Howell’s Guided Prayer Meditation.

This week is all about solace. Well, that was the intent, anyway. With these challenges Francine and Charlie discover what the theme of solace means to each other and how different that can be for themselves. 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.

Next week’s challenges: watch the 2015 horror flick “The Sand” and read “Sweet Bro and Hella Jeff” found at mspaintadventures.com/sweetbroandhellajeff. 

Bonus time! In this extra episode of fun, Francine and Charlie do some quizzes to get to know each other better. Love language, 90 cartoons, and Bro level are all at stake! It was so much fun that this bonus episode ended up being a super-sized 2 hour special.

The challenges this week are episodes 1-5 of the podcast: “Blackout,” and the Danny Boyle film “127 Hours.”

The hosts discuss the theme of survival this week. The challenges tie right in with the story of a small town trying to survive being cut off from society and a hiker who has to cut a deal to survive when he is trapped between a rock and a hard place. Then, for the interview segment, Francine wants to talk about what she and Char's strategies for survival would be in a post-apocolyptic world!

Next week’s challenges: watch all the videos on the “Jordan Go To Sleep” youtube channel and listen to Kelly Howell’s "Guided Prayer Meditation" which is also available on youtube on her official channel!

Listen in on the challenges for episode 5 with RCWAF's very first bonus episode!

Fran plays Passage and Char watches Weird City, and you can come along for the ride! As a bonus to the bonus, Fran and Char also play an improv game involving scenes from random movies and plays.

The challenges this week are: “Weird City” episode 1, “The One,” and the web game “Passage” by Jason Rohrer.

Francine and Charlie address the theme of choice as they talk about the challenges this week, and after that they both answer Char’s question about RO-bots and RO-mance!

Next week’s challenges: listen to the first 1-5 episodes of the podcast “Blackout” and watch Danny Boyle’s “127 Hours.”

The challenges have been postponed until next week! 

Our hosts, the intrepid Francine and Charlie, decide to take another look at the interview questions of episodes past and turn them around on each other! From now on, they'll both answer all questions, but for this episode, it's time to catch up with the original trilogy! This episode also features Part 1 of the Anton the Vigilante Sorcerer Saga.

Next week's challenges are (still) to play "Passage" by Jason Rohrer and to watch "Weird City" episode one: "The One."
