Riff Tank is a comedy improv show where Joel Ruiz is joined by a new set of co-hosts each week who riff out a new movie or TV show idea. But, to keep it spicy, if their producers don't like the show, the co-hosts will be killed in a new way each week submitted by the listeners. So, join in every week to hear a new movie idea and to see if the last hosts made it!
Join co-hosts Joel Ruiz, Ashely May King, and Meadow Lawson for the eighteenth episode of Riff Tank. This improv comedy podcast features the hosts making up a movie in an hour, or the producers will kill them.
