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.

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:

This has always been a film I have enjoyed with a great cast and a great story to keep you intrigued. I would also recommend the tv show if you get a chance to watch it, too bad it only lasted one season. This is such a great thriller from the 90s, so rent it or buy a copy online. Policewoman Amelia Donaghy (Angelina Jolie) is in hot pursuit of a serial murderer whose calling card is a small shard of bone extracted from each of his victims. Unable to decipher the cryptic clues the killer leaves behind at the scene of the crime, Amelia calls upon quadriplegic forensic criminology expert Lincoln Rhyme (Denzel Washington) to help. With Amelia acting as Rhyme's able-bodied go-between, the pair piece together disparate clues, hoping they will learn who the next victim is.The Bone Collector:

I love getting screeners to watch and I recently got a screener for The Ruse, it is written and directed by Stevan Mena. This film was wonderful! Such a gripping thriller that kept you waiting for more. It will be released in theaters on May 16th, this Friday! Go check it out when you can. I had the pleasure of chatting with Stevan Mena over zoom and got to ask him a few questions about the film. Stevan recommended a Captain Morgan and Coke for the drink, but I also used ChatGPT to create a fun themed cocktail for you to make.If you are curious, The Ruse is about an in-home caregiver who fears for her life after being assigned to a mysterious elderly patient in a remote seaside home. Go to https://therusemovie.com/ to find a theatre near you.

I hadn't seen this movie in a very long time and I forgot a lot about it, which means I am sure you have as well, that or you have never seen the film. If you are wondering, Beverly Hills Ninja is about a young American boy that washes ashore near a village populated by skilled Japanese warriors, they raise the child as one of them and instruct him in the ways of ninjitsu. Unfortunately, he grows up to be the overweight and inept but very enthusiastic Haru (Chris Farley), who remains intent on becoming a real ninja. Haru's first assignment -- protecting a beautiful woman from California -- doesn't go smoothly, since he's both uncoordinated and completely unaccustomed to Western culture.Beverly Hills Iced Tea (diffordsguide.com):Ingredients3⁄4 oz Hayman's London Dry Gin3⁄4 oz Ketel One Vodka1 oz Cointreau triple sec liqueur1⁄2 oz Lime juice (freshly squeezed)1⁄2 oz Monin Pure Cane Syrup (65.0°brix, equivalent to 2:1 rich syrup)Top up with Brut champagne/sparkling wineDirectionsShake first five ingredients with ice and strain into ice-filled glass.

If you are not watching Doctor Odyssey, you need to start now. It is one of those shows that is so cheesy that it's good. It's a guilty pleasure show for sure and I love it. I wanted to choose this episode because it features special guest stars Kelsea Ballerini and Margo Martindale as mother and daughter. I wasn't prepared for what this podcast episode turned out to be. Just so you know, Doctor Odyssey is about Max, who is the new on-board doctor for a luxury cruise ship where the small but mighty medical team navigate unique medical crises and each other, miles from shore. It stars Joshua Jackson, Phillipa Son, Sean Teale, Don Johnson and features so many guest stars, like the modern day Love Boat. Check it out on Hulu or on ABC.The Midnight Scalpel (I asked ChatGPT):Ingredients2 oz Dark Rum (bold and brooding, like the doc himself)0.75 oz Fresh Lime Juice (for a sharp, clinical edge)0.5 oz Ginger Syrup (zingy and exotic, just like the locales)1 dash of Angostura Bitters (adds complexity like a backstory)Splash of Activated Charcoal (for that inky, moody drama)Top with Club SodaGarnish: Thin cucumber ribbon & a metal cocktail pick (like a surgical tool)DirectionsShake rum, lime juice, ginger syrup, bitters, and charcoal with ice.Strain into a highball or Collins glass over fresh ice.Top with club soda for fizz and tension.Garnish with the cucumber ribbon and silver pick - because it's Dr. Max Bankman and he doesn't do basic.For a mocktail version called Code Black, replace the rum with black iced tea like Earl Grey or Lapsang and remove the bitters.Doctor Odyssey Drinking Game:Drink when...they are in the infirmary.you see a guest star.you see gold medical instruments.someone says "We're losing them!" or "I need ___ccs now!"their watch goes off.something super cheesy happens.sexual tension between any of the main characters.they have to resuscitate someone. the medical staff tries something new and risky to save a life.Take a shot when...someone goes overboard.you see a country superstar as a guest star.for a cliffhanger.As always, drink responsibly and with others.

When they discover she has a knack for putting things in order because of her high intellectual potential, she is brought on as a consultant to work with a by-the-book seasoned detective, Karadec. Together they form an unusual and unstoppable team. All episodes are streaming on Hulu and Disney+.The Clue Juice:Ingredients1.5 oz Bourbon (for boldness and grit)0.5 oz Coffee Liqueur (because she's probably running on caffeine)0.75 oz Fresh Lemon Juice (zesty and sharp)0.5 oz Honey Syrup (sweetness for the kids)2 dashes Aromatic Bitters (for depth and sass)Garnish: Lemon twist + a mini magnifying glass pick (for fun)Optional: a splash of cola or soda for a bubbly, chaotic twistAdd bourbon, coffee liqueur, lemon juice, honey syrup, and bitters to a shaker with ice.Shake like you're trying to shake a clue out of someone.Strain over fresh ice in a rocks glass.Top with a splash of cola if you want to lean into that unpredictable flair.Garnish with a lemon twist and a cheeky nod to sleuthing—a magnifying glass pick or tiny notebook if you're feeling extra.High Potential Drinking Game:Drink when...Morgan's brain analyzes something.Morgan is in a short skirt and “has legs for days”.Elliot's brain analyzes something.Ava says something snarky.you see Ludo (Taran Killam).Morgan is at a crime scene.there is some flirting going on between Morgan and Det.

This is just a very short bonus episode, it was part of an assignment for a class I am taking. This is the full interview I did, for class I had to do a video and edit it down to under 3 minutes. Enjoy this quick interview with Sam about being an influencer on TikTok and Instagram. Side note, I met her and her boyfriend James almost two years ago randomly in Austin while I was there for the ATX TV Festival and they were there for one of her comedy shows. I will be seeing her perform in Dallas in just a few weeks. If you don't know who she is, look her up, you will thoroughly enjoy her videos. They are both very kind people and actually have their own podcast called Weird and Proud, which is great content, so go check it out.Party In Your Mouth Shot (from Spirits Cocktails):Ingredients:1/2 oz Midori Melon Liqueur (green layer)1/2 oz Orange Juice or Pineapple Juice (yellow layer)1/2 oz Grenadine (pink layer)Optional: Colored sugar or pop rocks for rimmingIce (optional for mixing)Directions:Rim the shot glasses by moistening the rim of your shot glasses with a bit of lime juice or simple syrup. Then dip the rims into colored sugar or pop rocks for a fun, festive touch.Layer the shot, start by pouring grenadine into the shot glass as the base. Grenadine is heavy, so it will naturally sink to the bottom. Next gently pour orange juice or pineapple juice over the back of a spoon to create the second (yellow) layer. And finally, layer Midori Melon Liqueur on top, using the same spoon technique to avoid mixing with the juice.Serve Immediately.Encourage your guests to drink it all in one go for the full "party in your mouth" experience!Drinking Game:Just take the shot at the end of the interview, but try to make your mouth as wide as you can to see how big your gape can be.Or...make 5 shots for the five questions.As always, drink responsibly and with others.

This week I am joined by Danielle, a formal journalist, who I met at the ATX TV Festival, and she wanted to cover one of her favorite movies, Don't Tell Mom the Babysitter's Dead. If you don't know what the film is about, here is the synopsis: Sue Ellen Crandell (Christina Applegate) is a teenager eagerly awaiting her mother's (Concetta Tomei) summer-long absence. While the babysitter (Eda Reiss Merin) looks after her rambunctious younger siblings, Sue Ellen can party and have fun. But then the babysitter abruptly dies, leaving the Crandells short on cash. Sue Ellen finds a sweet job in fashion by lying about her age and experience on her résumé. But, while her siblings run wild, she discovers the downside of adulthood. White Wine Spritzer: Ingredients 3 parts Sauvignon Blanc 1 part club soda Lime wedge Directions Pour wine into an ice filled wine glass. Top with club soda, and garnish with a lime wedge. Or you could always make a martini & rossi on the rocks, that is both sweet and dry. Don't Tell Mom the Babysitter's Dead Drinking Game (drunkenme.com): Drink when... Gus is hit on by Sue-Ellen. Walter is seen watching TV. someone gives a reason why the babysitter isn't there. Kenny is seen drunk or stoned. Sue-Ellen lies. something is bought with the "borrowed" petty cash. one of Sue-Ellen's fashion "designs" is shown. "Clown-Dog." If you don't know what that means, I just clowned you, dog.

This film was done so beautifully for such a hard subject matter to discuss. Play Date was a film that I am glad I got to watch for HollyShorts, but so glad I was able to interview Amberlee Colson and Laura Campbell to dive deeper into the film. According to their website (playdate-film.com), the short film is about two estranged mothers reunite to make sense of their daughter's last play date. I hope that you can check it out sometime and I hope this film reaches so many people. “Play Date is an attempt to comprehend not only the depth of loss incurred by the parents of school shooting victims, but also the mental contortions the rest of us have to perform in order to keep living in a world where a day at school or a night at the movies can mean the end of the world as we know it.” - Gavin Broady Writer's Statement Sazerac Dream Cocktail: Ingredients Absinthe, to rinse 1 sugar cube 1/2 teaspoon cold water 4 dashes Peychaud's bitters 2 1/2 ounces rye whiskey Garnish: lemon peel Directions Rinse a chilled rocks glass with absinthe, discarding any excess, and set aside. In a mixing glass, muddle the sugar cube, water and the Peychaud's bitters. Add the rye whiskey, fill the mixing glass with ice and stir 15­–20 seconds, until well-chilled. Strain into the prepared glass. Twist the lemon peel over the drink's surface to express the peel's oils, then garnish with the peel. Tetris Cocktail (adultbar.com.au): Ingredients 30ml of Curaçao Red Senior Co 30ml of Curaçao Green Senior Co 30ml of Curaçao Blue Senior Co 150ml of Lemon Soda Directions (served room temperature) Add water into glass. Use three shot glasses. Place each curaçao into shot glasses. Pour the lemon soda into short glass. Drink each curaçao at a time with the soda. Beguiling. Grilled Cheese Martini (thrillest.com): Ingredients 4 cups vodka 2 cups tomato juice 1 bunch basil, removed from stems 1 handful orange cherry tomatoes 6 slices white bread 6 slice cheddar cheese Balsamic glaze 3 slices prosciutto Ice Coffee filters Directions On a griddle, butter one side of 6 pieces of toast and place them butter-side down. Allow them to crisp up, but not fully brown, and place a slice of cheddar cheese on each un-buttered side of toast. Allow cheese to melt slightly and flip sandwiches together to make 3 separate grilled cheese sandwiches. Continue to flip the sandwiches until they form a nice golden crust. Slice each sandwich in quarters and stuff into a mason jar. Fill the mason jar entirely with vodka. Allow grilled cheese and vodka to infuse overnight. Fill an ice cube tray with tomato juice and stick into the the freezer overnight. Strain out the vodka by placing 2 coffee filters into a strainer. Pour the vodka through carefully, assuring the filters are straining out any lipids. You can also fish out the sandwiches and squeeze the liquid soaked up by the bread. Set vodka aside. On a griddle, crisp up the prosciutto and break into small bits and place on a small plate. On another plate, pour a layer of balsamic glaze. Rim your glass first with the balsamic glaze and then with the prosciutto bits. Set aside. In a shaker, muddle the basil and cherry tomatoes. Pour in 4 oz of the vodka and ice and shake vigorously. Strain and pour the drink into the glass over a single tomato ice cube. Top with two mini grilled cheeses on a skewer and serve.   Play Date Drinking Game: Drink when... you're uncomfortable. you see pink. you see food or drink. you see Tetris.

So I was given the privilege of a press for Hollyshorts Film Festival again this year and got to watch so many amazing short films, plus I got to do some great interviews with those behind the films. "Bill" is a darkly comedic short film that explores themes of power, control, and societal expectations. The story follows a woman who, after years of enduring her sexist husband, takes matters into her own hands by murdering him and turning his corpse into a puppet of the perfect husband. This bold narrative challenges viewers to think critically about gender dynamics in a uniquely humorous and horrifying way. Be sure to be on the lookout for when you can check out this fun dark comedy. "Bill" Cocktail: Bloody Mary Ingredients Celery salt 1 Lemon wedge 1 Lime wedge 2 oz of Vodka 4 oz of Tomato juice 2 Tsp. prepared Horseradish 2 dashes Tobasco sauce 2 dashes Worcestershire sauce 1 pinch of Ground black pepper 1 pinch of Smoked paprika Garnish: parsley sprig Garnish: 2 Green olives Garnish: Lime wedge Garnish: Celery stalk (optional) Directions Pour some celery salt onto a small plate. Rub the juicy side of the lemon or lime wedge along the lip of a pint glass. Roll the outer edge of the glass in celery salt until fully coated, then fill the glass with ice and set aside. Squeeze the lemon and lime wedges into a shaker and drop them in. Add the vodka, tomato juice, horseradish, Tabasco, Worcestershire sauce, black pepper, smoked paprika, plus a pinch of celery salt along with ice and shake gently. Strain into the prepared glass. Garnish with parsley sprig, 2 speared green olives, a lime wedge and a celery stalk (optional). Or make yourself a Whiskey Neat "Bill" Drinking Game: Drink when Bill insults her.

I had a lot going on this summer, but I was able to record with 2 other ATX TV Members about this year's festival. It was great as always, but I will say that seeing everyone was what made it amazing. I think we all needed those nights on the Stephen F.

Check out their YouTube page and their podcast to watch and listen to previous panels.

Leave the stick in the drink so it continues to infuse your beverage with cinnamon as you sip.

I hope you are all watching Claim to Fame, if not you need to be (Wednesday nights on ABC at 8pm central, streaming on Hulu). If you are watching you will know my next guest, Danny, aka Nael Zayas. Danny is a very kind and funny guy, who played a great game this season. Side note, he needs to apply for The Traitors, I think he would do very well. We were actually chatting before the interview was scheduled, found out he did his research and is a whiskey and Coke kind of guy and was excited to see what cocktail I chose for his episode. I wanted something with whiskey, but also a bit of spice for his Claim to Fame, the Salsa King himself, Marc Anthony. Hope you all enjoy the interview as much as I did.

You might know Zach Kornfeld from creating and starring in The Try Guys, he is also a best selling author, a podcast host, and more. This is a very powerful short film that takes a comedic look at a very heavy and very real topic. I look forward to seeing what else he directs, writes, and stars in. Director's Statement: The things you love are more important than the things that hurt you. So often for people living with disabilities, or any sort of chronic condition, we end up defining ourselves by what ails us instead of by what we love. With that in mind, I set out to make a short that helped audiences understand invisible illnesses -- something that is inherently unknowable -- by filtering my disability through the lens of magical realism, homages, and my favorite genre tropes. To take control of the thing that causes me pain every single day through the aesthetic of the things that give me comfort and joy. The result is Ouch!, a film I hope is as fun as it is cathartic. Ouch! Cocktail: Grab any THC canned drink, Zach's favorite is the PBR High Seltzers. Or a fruity pineapple cocktail like a Bahama Mama, a Piña Colada, or a Pisco Punch. Ouch!

The Kingsman franchise is one of my favorites and not sure why it took so long for me to cover it on the podcast. It is currently streaming (according to IMDb.com) on abc.com, Apple TV+, fxnetworks.com, and MGM+. The first film in the franchise is The Secret Service and is about a spy organization that recruits a promising street kid into the agency's training program, while a global threat emerges from a twisted tech genius. It stars Colin Firth, Samuel L. Jackson, Taron Egerton, Michael Caine, and more. It's kind of like a fast paced, edge of your seat, James Bond film. This was fun to record and I went head to head this time. Hope you enjoy this episode and all the fun sound bytes that came from it. The Kingsman Martini: Ingredients Dry Vermouth London No. 3 Gin Lemon Peel Directions Pour a bar spoon of dry vermouth in the mixing glass. Pour a generous amount of good dry gin.

I wasn't going to release this yet, but decided to push back other episodes to make sure this got released the morning of the premier at the Dances With Films Festival. I received an email about this film and all I saw was Uber driver and replied back a yes to screen it and set up an interview. This short film was great and a lot of fun, I'd be excited to see it as a full length film. According to IMDb, The Pickup is when a bumbling Uber driver picks up a government spy who needs to deliver a top-secret package, he finds himself in the driver's seat of a high-stakes game of cat and mouse. Hope you can check it out in LA for the premier, or at least catch it later when it gets released on YouTube at some point.
