  • I Wanna Marry "Harry": His Royal Lie-ness with Joe Amabile and Serena Pitt | 55

    I Wanna Marry "Harry": His Royal Lie-ness with Joe Amabile and Serena Pitt | 55
    Sep 30 2024

    In 2013, a British TV producer named Danny Fenton brought 12 American women to England to take part in a new reality dating show. The yanks were led to believe that they had a chance to marry one of the most eligible bachelors in the world: Prince Harry of the British royal family. There was just one problem: the guy they were competing for was actually a Harry look-alike. Even though Fenton spent a princely sum trying to gaslight his way to ratings gold, the show wound up being one of reality tv's most embarrassingly king-sized busts.


    The Bachelor franchise's own Joe Amabile and Serena Pitt (Bachelor Happy Hour) join Misha to dethrone one of the most manipulative reality shows of all time.

  • Blockbuster: Streaming Killed the Video Store with Lauren Lapkus and Laura Ramoso | 54

    Blockbuster: Streaming Killed the Video Store with Lauren Lapkus and Laura Ramoso | 54
    Sep 23 2024

    At the turn of the millenium, Blockbuster Video, with its ubiquitous blue-and-yellow stores, was the reigning champion of movie rentals. But early on, when presented with the chance to buy a little company called Netflix... Blockbuster made the wrong choice. Despite attempts to launch online rental services, the quaint allure of browsing store aisles couldn't compete with the instant gratification of streaming. In the end, boardroom squabbling and Blockbuster's stubborn adherence to nostalgia led to its own unraveling.


    Lauren Lapkus (Newcomers, The Last Blockbuster) and Laura Ramoso (Sit Up Straight) join Misha to be kind and rewind all the way back to the heyday of Blockbuster.

Thoroughly enjoyable

I love these. Some of them I remember (4loco) and some I had never heard of. The research and details are great and I love the silver lining Misha always looks for.
