Summary

Rob Cesternino (@robcesternino) and Akiva Wienerkur (@keev26) need a podcast and every week, Rob and Akiva spin a wheel of listener-submitted podcast ideas, and whatever the wheel lands on is what they podcast about next. This week, the wheel landed on "The Crappy Movie Diaper," leading to a draw from the diaper which determined Rob and Akiva would watch the 1988 comedic sci-fi flick, Mac and Me. A box office flop, the film centers on a "Mysterious Alien Creature" (MAC) who befriends a wheelchair-ridden boy named Eric. Regarded as one of the worst films ever made, it has since become a cult classic. After Rob and Akiva enjoyed the movie, they went through the mailbag to hear what new ideas should be added to the wheel directly from the listeners and then spin the wheel to see what will be coming next week in episode 187. The mailbag begins around: 1:07:00. For the link to the spreadsheet that Rob and Akiva use to compile ideas, check it all out here: Rob and Akiva Need a Spreadsheet (compiled by the great Will from America). To submit an idea for a future episode of “Rob and Akiva Need a Podcast” to be discussed on the mailbag, submit it on this form: Rob and Akiva's Mailbag Form. Learn more about your ad choices.
