We're celebrating 250 episodes of the podcast with a special Listener's Choice show. Everything on this show was voted on by you, the listeners!

It begins with a look at some soap opera fails from the 1980s. Daytime and primetime had their share of terrible shows. Cheap imitations, forced intrigue, boring show topics, all of that and more are here.

Attention Kmart shoppers! This week, we are looking at a hilariously poorly acted Kmart employee training video from 1992. It beats you over the head with their 'smart sales plan,' but remember it's not an extended warranty.

This week's Top 5 features the worst of the worst when it comes to acting. Poor box office performance, terrible critic reviews, loads of Razzie nominations. Some of these are obvious, maybe a few are surprising, but all make the list of worst actors ever. 

And of course, there is a new This Week In History and Time Capsule looking back at the delicious invention of the ring donut.

Thank you so much to everyone who has listened over the years and helped me make it to 250 episodes of the podcast. Here's to the next 250!
