Line Drunk

Welcome to the season 9 finale!!!!! I was sent a screener for a new film making the festival rounds called The Militia, it is written and directed by Dylan King Welter and then I was able to interview him. I really did enjoy this film, just wasn’t sure how to go about the interview on this topic. When it is released, I highly recommend checking out the film, but until then, enjoy this great interview. I can’t wait until this film is released, but also can’t wait to see what else Dylan directs and writes in the future. The synopsis of the film is: Daniel Pierce dreams of joining the local Militia alongside his father once he turns eighteen, but when his Dad becomes the target of the local Sheriff, Daniel and his friends form their own militia in a troubled effort to save him. The Militia Drink: Grab a 6, 12, 18, or 30 pack of your favorite good ol’ American beer and enjoy the drinking game.

I guarantee you that she has casted some of your favorite actors on some of your favorite shows. Sherry has been doing this for a long time and her resume is extensive. I had Sherry on last year at the festival and hope she will be back, maybe we can do a regular podcast episode. She has casted everything from The Righteous Gemstones to The Four Seasons to Breaking Bad to Lie To Me.  Sherry, if you read this, I would love to be cast as something minor in the next Roughhouse tv show 😂😂😂, I will gladly be a dead body or whatever, but again just a minor role, I am no actor, ha.  The Margaret Atwood Cocktail (cbc.ca): Ingredients  * 1 1/2 oz light rum * 1/2 oz maraschino liqueur * 1 oz pomegranate juice * 1 oz lime juice  * 1 oz apple juice * Snapdragon for garnish Directions 1.

I don’t get sent documentaries very often, but recently I was sent two, one was JessZilla and it is releasing Friday, June 27th, so be sure to check it out. JessZilla is about Jesselyn Silva, a 15-year-old national boxing champion whose Olympic dreams are cut short when she gets a cancer diagnosis. It will be available on Apple TV, Amazon, Google Play, YouTube Movies, and Vimeo. I usually post drinking rules because it’s part of the podcast, and while I do discuss them in the interview with Emily and Ben, I am choosing not to post them on here in the show notes. I don’t feel like it’s a film you will want to drink during, due to the nature of the documentary and that Jesselyn did pass away on August 13, 2024. Honor Jesselyn in the best way you see fit, you can donate to the childhood cancer fund in here name (https://curechildhoodcancer.org/about-cure/named-funds/jesszilla-fund/ [https://curechildhoodcancer.org/about-cure/named-funds/jesszilla-fund/]), watch and share the movie with others, or however you’d like to. When I finished this documentary I emailed the PR guy I had been in contact with back and said, “That was such an incredible and inspiring documentary. I hope that many people will watch this when it’s released.” So please be sure to check it out, it is sad, but I think everyone will be glad they watched it. Spicy Passion Fruit Margarita (butternutbakeryblog.com): I picked this drink because of the purple flower used for garnish, since purple was her favorite color, and due to the fact that Jesselyn was passionate about her family and boxing, not to mention that Ben said it needed to be something that gave a punch.  Ingredients  * 2 jalapeño slices (about 1/8” thick) * 3/4 oz fresh lime juice * 1/4 oz agave nectar * 1 1/2 oz blanco tequila (or mezcal if you want a smokey flavor), for a mocktail version use a zero proof option or a citrus seltzer * 1/2 oz orange liqueur, or use orange juice for the mocktail version * 2 oz passion fruit puree * Tajin for the rim Directions 1. Add the jalapeño slices, lime juice, and agave to a shaker. Muddle the jalapeños to release more flavor. 2. Add the remaining ingredients along with ice and shake for about 30 seconds. 3. Use lime wedge to line the rim of a cocktail glass. Then place the glass upside down in some tajin to coat the rim. Fill with ice. 4. Strain the cocktail into the glass and garnish with a purple hibiscus or another purple flower of your choosing. Enjoy. As always, drink responsibly and with others.

I bought a trivia game from Go! Games, a company based in Austin. I was at the mall and it was $5 and I grabbed it. It's always nice to have multiple trivia games for the podcast and just for fun. See how many you get right. I will be using this game again in the future, I barely scratched the surface of the questions. 🍿🎬 “Plot Twist” – A Trivia Night Cocktail 🥃 Ingredients: * 1 oz Vodka (neutral, keeps you guessing) * 0.75 oz Chambord (dark berry, mysterious like a cliffhanger) * 0.5 oz fresh lemon juice (a little twist, literally) * 0.25 oz vanilla syrup (sweet like sitcom nostalgia) * Topped with ginger beer (for the fizzy finale) * Garnish: Gummy question mark or a twist of lemon 🧪 Directions: 1. Shake vodka, Chambord, lemon juice, and vanilla syrup with ice. 2. Strain into a highball glass over fresh ice. 3. Top with ginger beer. 4. Garnish with a lemon twist in the shape of a question mark or a mini drink stirrer with a trivia quote tag. Drinking Game: Drink when… * you get the question wrong. * Danielle gets the question wrong. As always, drink responsibly and with others. Follow or subscribe wherever you listen to the podcast.

UnREAL premiered 10 years ago and is having a panel at the ATX Television Festival this year, so I thought what better way to celebrate than to cover the pilot episode. You can stream the show on Netflix. Reality shows are often full of drama, but in the case of dating show `Everlasting', there may be more drama behind the scenes than there is in front of the camera. Executive producer Quinn commands her staff to get dramatic and outrageous footage for the show, which forces young producer Rachel to manipulate the relationships among the contestants to get the show's final cut to match Quinn's vision of it. As show star Adam searches for his perfect mate, the show's staff members deal with their own romantic predicaments on the set. Rachel's ex-boyfriend is one of the show's cameramen, and his current fiancee, Lizzie, is the makeup artist. “The Final Rose” - An UnREAL Cocktail: 🍸 Ingredients: * 1.5 oz Gin (London Dry or a floral-forward variety) * 0.5 oz Aperol (for that rose-pink TV glow + underlying bitterness) * 0.5 oz St-Germain elderflower liqueur (smooth, manipulative sweetness) * 0.75 oz fresh lemon juice * 0.25 oz rose syrup* (romantic and fake — just like the show) * 1 dash Peychaud’s bitters (for color + depth) * Garnish: Dehydrated rose petal or a “bloody” sugar rim Rose syrup: Combine 1/2 cup sugar, 1/2 cup water, and 1 tsp rose water in a saucepan. Heat until dissolved, then cool. 🧪 Instructions: 1. Add all ingredients to a shaker with ice. 2. Shake well, imagining Quinn whispering in your ear. 3. Strain into a chilled coupe glass. 4. Garnish with a single dried rose petal or a pink sugar rim splashed with red food coloring to look like a lipstick smear… or blood. Drinking Game (earnspendlive.com): Take a sip every time: * You’re more than 75% sure that whatever is going on could REALLY happen on The Bachelor/Bachelorette… * …and you catch yourself looking around for Chris Harrison. * There’s a kiss. * Tabloids stir up drama. * Chet is the literal worst. * Someone says something racist. * Rachel has an attack of conscience. Take a shot if/when: * Adam comes back for Season 2. * Two if Adam and Rachel get together. * Rachel actually quits “Everlasting” * There’s yet another awkwardly voyeuristic sex scene. * Two if it’s The Suitor screwing someone he’s not supposed to (Adam flashbacks, anyone?). * Rachel/Quinn does something terrible but says it’s feminist. Finish your drink when: * The producers cross the line. * Quinn and Rachel have one of their rare, real friendship moments. * FIGHT, FIGHT, FIGHT! * You catch yourself admiring one of our two favorite antiheros, Quinn and Rachel because they are kind of the worst. * You swear you’ll never watch reality TV again (even though we both know you don’t mean it).
