Bartender's Choice

This special episode of Happy Hour Film Club is Bartender's Choice! That means our resident cocktail crafter gets to pick the movie this time, and Nick brought us the Tom Cruise classic, Cocktail. But is it all cocktails and dreams as we visit the New York City flash bartending scene of the late 1980's? Well, you'll have to listen to find out.

Going Home - The Lost Episode

We have a special treat this week, and we're calling it "The Lost Episode." That's right, what once was lost, now is found in the darkest corner of our hard drive - the "Going Home" themed episode we wanted to release right before Thanksgiving but was saved, alas, to the wrong folder. So here we are, back again with two new movies to talk about - Death at a Funeral and Grosse Pointe Blank.
