Two days after Gloria's father Roberto passed, every tangled branch of the family tree came to visit Gloria and her mother Teresa. And one of them brought a side story about diarrhea. This week's story is about coping with loss with grace, despite the cluelessness of some of la familia. A complete transcript of this reading will be available on Latinxlitmag.com starting Tuesday November 9th. Abram Valdez is a Chicano author from Denton County, Texas, where he and his partner Marissa are raising four children. As a first-generation college graduate, his father was both proud and horrified at Abram's plans to attend graduate school at the University of Arkansas's MFA program for Creative Writing with an emphasis in poetry (he would have preferred Abram go into computer sciences and not "write for greeting cards").

Specific points of discussion include the extensive explosives budget of the movie, the sheer confusion that you will feel when viewing, if watching it more than once will help explain things (it won't), John Cusack's immortality, and redemption found in the arms of a bazooka. If you're coming to this episode hoping to make sense of the movie, we make no promises, but we'll try our best. Hoops McCann.

In episode nine of the Awesome Awful Podcast, presented by the Daily Drunk, host Josh Sippie welcomes back Daily Drunk Editor-in-Chief Shawn Berman. They discuss a truly horrible movie that not even nostalgia could resuscitate, Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie. Specific points of discussion include why this movie should have taken a completely different route and gone all in on a roller derby, who would be in our ideal Power Rangers super squad (spoiler: The Rock made the cut), the curious case of the middle-aged Blue Ranger and his future at Power Rangers corporate, and the power of ooze. Shawn also apologizes twice for making Josh watch this movie, which is very kind of him.

Specific points of discussion include replacing "Chekhov's Gun" with "Carrey's Sax," how to be a terrible animal control worker and still keep your job, aliases that won't give away the fact that they are in fact aliases, and what to do when you start seeing the number 23 all over the place.

Specific points of discussion include alternative uses of torpedos, Kevin J. O'Connor's mastery of all things, death by melting inside of giant octopus monsters, and how to best maximize the use of a catch phrase. This movie really is a Treat *winks*.

Specific points of discussion include technological marvels like guns that shoot hands instead of bullets or lasers, the culture that surrounds the American quarterback (bonus points for being blond), dumb old birds that are given second chances, and how many times you can stick your hand in a foreign hole before you die.

In episode one of the Awesome Awful Podcast, presented by the Daily Drunk, host Josh Sippie welcomes Daily Drunk Editor-in-Chief Shawn Berman. They discuss the Adam Sandler classic Click, starting with how the hell this is rated so bad in the first place, seeing as how it's a work of cinematic brilliance. Specific points of discussion include the greatest fart scene in cinema history, the wardrobe of David Hasselhoff, Sean Astin in a speedo vs Adam Sandler in a fat suit, stuffed ducks, and the sheer emotional depth of dying in the rain in front of your family after a heart attack at your son's wedding.

We discuss which is better, and somehow that evolves into Peter Pan vs Thanos in the Marvel Universe, and if there should be a Tinkerbell vs The Wasp movie! Wait, what?

Forget 'March Madness', this is a bracket you can't lose!

Kristin Whispers a sonnet and poetry (by Michael Chang and Kolleen Carney Hoepfner) and flash (by Briar Ripley Page) from A Drunken Midsommar, an anthology of Midsommar inspired writing, art and flash coming this midsummer from The Daily Drunk.

This week, we're talking with Tom Witkowski, whose story “The Guardian Devil” was featured on our most recent episode of The Storyteller Series. You can listen to Tom's story by heading to http://storytellerseriespodcast.com/listen (storytellerseriespodcast.com/listen). In “The Guardian Devil,” Leonard, the “guardian devil” from whom this story takes its title, is growing increasingly frustrated by the changing world's waning need for creative types. In the fast-paced industry of causing trouble and mayhem for humans, there's just no time to slow down and appreciate the artistry of a well-orchestrated mishap. However, things start to change for Leonard when, after making a new friend in the most unlikely of places, he's presented with the opportunity to showcase his talents as a different kind of guardian (think harps and feathers). Tom Witkowski lives in Minnesota and has spent the last 25 years avoiding respectable careers by working as a copywriter in advertising. He's worked on brands like Harley-Davidson and the Minnesota Twins, and won seven regional Emmys, as well as many other industry awards, most of which mean nothing. He started a short fiction blog in 2019 called 9 Circles Fiction, and his stories have since appeared in The Daily Drunk and Bright Flash Literary Review.  In his spare time, he dreams about mountains.  You can follow him on Facebook and Twitter (@9CirclesFiction) and read more stories on his site, 9CirclesFiction.com.
