Three drinking buddies sit down to discuss movies about drinking! Alcohol consumption has been depicted in film since its very inception; Tom, Adam, and Ollie will review some of the best - or worst - portrayals of boozing on film. They'll also drink a signature cocktail or libation from the film being discussed! Join them for a humorous discussion of film, pop culture, and cocktails!
An ode to "flair bartending." We are the last barmen podcasters, and in this episode we're drinking "Red Eyes" and discussing Tom Cruise's 1988 film, COCKTAIL. (No bottles were broken during the recording of this episode.)

Drinkin' at DELTOPIA
Tom, Adam, and Ollie review DELTOPIA (2023, Michael Easterling and Jaala Ruffman) which is set in the college town of Isla Vista, next to UC Santa Barbara. The three hosts went to UCSB together many, many years ago, so they compare the events portrayed in this film to what it was actually like to party in "IV." Also, Ollie does a "Strikeout," the film's signature "cocktail."
