A Clockwork Orange Julius

Star Wars: The Empire Likes Jack

In the latest episode of season two’s “Cocktails & Cinema”, Dre and Vicky honor May the Fourth / Revenge of the Fifth by tackling 1980’s Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back and drinking Empire Likes Jack cocktails. Aka welcome to the latest installment of “Agree to Disagree: A Very Special Episode”, where Dre and Vicky discuss this pro-lizard / pro-snake / pro-Lobot film, and suggest potential HR complaints for Vader after the Captain Needa Incident. Also, please forgive Vicky in advance for calling the sarlacc pit the rancor pit. She knows the rancor is just a sweet grabby monster trying to snack on Luke and that supremely unlucky Gamorrean guard in ROTJ; she was just tired.

The French Concoction

Dre and Vicky are back for another season two episode of “Cocktails & Cinema” to discuss 1971’s The French Connection, all while wincing their way through some French Concoction cocktails. Listen to Dre and Vicky go off topic one too many times as they discuss hypothetical stakeout contributions, Dre’s unfathomable hatred of Mad Libs (but love of ascots) and ask the most daring question: is the French Connection really just a prequel to Jaws?

Lushmore

Dre and Vicky continue their Season Two adventures of “Cocktails & Cinema” discussing 1998’s Rushmore, paired with a Lushmore cocktail! As they sip on some appropriately juvenile drinks with a twist, listen to Dre and Vicky rave about the perfection that is Bert Fischer, the shockingly high quality of Max’s high school theater productions, and the true MVP that is Bert Fischer. Did we mention Bert Fischer?
