Start off with an old-school Kids' Sports Update before getting to the movie.Yor, The Hunter from the Future: A caveman with a backstory, such that there is one, similar to Lonestar in Spaceballs wanders around the Turkish countryside causing mayhem. He meets women. They fall in love with him. Other cavemen come along and destroy shit. Then SUDDENLY, there's space ships and laser beams. Apparently Yor is actually from an advanced civilization! And his civilization is fighting another civilization of bad guys who want to create a world of androids. There is no time travel. This is all happening on the same planet at the same time and no one noticed. Whatever. Yor, The Movie with the Wordy Title final grade: Steve: I wanted to like this one, but Antonio Marrrgggeriiitttiii's attempt to take a four-hour mini-series and pare it down to a 90-minute movie probably lost a lot of the plot. Tarzan/Flash Gordon mash-up was too convoluted. 1.8/5.0Brandon: The first 60 minutes of this movie had nothing to do with the last 30. There wasn't any attempt to tie the Star Wars-y stuff to the caveman stuff. Yor wasn't even from the future. He was just from a different part of the same beachfront property. 1.9/5.0Cocktail of the Week:The Cosmic Caveman1 oz Bourbon1/2 oz Mezcal1/2 oz Blue Curaçao1 oz Pineapple Juice1/2 oz Fresh-squeezed Lime Juice1/2 oz Honey SyrupAngostura Bitters1/2 oz Over-proof RumCombine everything except the rum in a cocktail shaker. Shake to combine and chill, then strain into a rocks glass. Garnish with a lime wheel laid on top. Pour over-proof rum onto lime wheel/chunk and light the rum on fire. Cocktail Grade: ChatGPT is clearly in the tank for Big Blue Curaçao. Looks like toxic waste. Doesn't taste great. You don't make enough money to support ChatGPT's liquor budget. Really gave Steve some tummy troubles the next morning. 1.3/5.0------------------Contact us with feedback or cocktail/movie recommendations to:boozeandbmovies@gmail.comX: @boozeandbmoviesInstagram: @boozeandbmoviesThreads: @boozeandbmovieswww.facebook.com/boozeandbmovies

The crew watch 1964's "Kwaidan", a thoroughly striking Japanese ghost anthology movie that is over 3 hours long - and if you guessed that this is a LONG episode, you would be right. Good for you! Dave's strong cocktail may have contributed to some tumbles down a few rabbit holes, but hey, at this point, does it even matter? Between listener questions, musings on Post-WW2 Japan and the usual distractions, there is a LOT to take in. Enjoy!"Kwaidan" cocktail - a modified Manhattan.In a mixing glass with ice combine:1.5 oz.

ChatGPT and AI seem to have taken over the news cycle. Apparently, AI can do anything from draw a world-class piece of art to take the bar exam. While those are impressive feats, let's see if it can do something really difficult. We ask ChatGPT to invent new bourbon cocktails that have never been heard of before. Will AI finally crumble under the pressure, or will it yet again prove to be far better than us mere mortals.We make some AI-generated cocktails and see what AI really knows about the human palate. We discuss how bartenders can use AI as a creative tool and maybe learn a thing or two about stepping outside the norm of cocktails.Cocktail 1 -  *Bourbon Sage Smash*2 oz Bourbon1 oz Fresh lemon juice1/2 oz Sage syrup*4-5 Fresh sage leaves1 Dash orange bittersSage leaf and lemon twist for garnish- In a shaker, muddle the fresh sage leaves with the sage syrup.- Add the bourbon, fresh lemon juice, orange bitters, and ice to the shaker.- Shake vigorously for about 10-15 seconds.- Strain the cocktail into a rocks glass filled with ice.- Garnish with a fresh sage leaf and a lemon twist* Sage syrup recipe:Combine equal parts water and sugar in a saucepan and bring to a boil.Add several fresh sage leaves and let simmer for 5-10 minutes.Remove from heat, let cool, and strain out the sage leaves.Store the syrup in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.Cocktail 2 - *Smoky Bourbon Sling*2 oz Bourbon1/2 oz Mezcal3/4 oz Fresh lime juice1/2 oz Maple syrup1/4 oz Luxardo Maraschino liqueur2 dashes Angostura bittersClub sodaLime wedge for garnish- Fill a cocktail shaker with ice.- Add the bourbon, mezcal, lime juice, maple syrup, Luxardo Maraschino liqueur, and Angostura bitters.- Shake well for about 10-15 seconds, until the shaker is chilled.- Fill a Collins glass with ice.- Strain the cocktail into the glass.- Top with club soda.- Garnish with a lime wedge.We truly appreciate all of your support!Make sure to check our pinned posts on Instagram and enter our giveaways!
