Movie Mixology Pat and Marissa Gibbens

It’s our most x-rated episode yet! This week, Movie Mixology makes the XYZ cocktail inspired by 2002’s “xXx.” Joined by special guest Riggs Brown, the hosts chat about video games, vlogging, and Vin Diesel’s catchy one-liners. Plus, Pat and Marissa make a special announcement you won’t want to miss. So, sit back (or, snowboard down a mountain) as you stream this week’s Xander-zone episode! 


 


XANDER: "You don't have shit on me."


GIBBONS: "I notice you have three Xs tattooed on the back of your neck. I think that's rather appropriate since you're looking at three-strikes. Grand theft auto, reckless endangerment, and that little bridge stunt of yours...makes you a three-time loser. Maybe you oughta call yourself 'Triple-X." But if you do what I want, I'll make all your little recent criminal transgressions go away and let you get back to that pathetic excuse of a life."


XANDER: "I think maybe I should be like you...get all shot up for those stars and stripes."


 


XYZ recipe


1.5oz of white rum (traditional) or spiced rum works just fine


1oz lemon juice


1oz triple-sec or orange liqueur


Lemon peel for garnish (optional)


 


Add rum, lemon juice and triple sec to a shaker with ice and shake


Strain into a chilled cocktail glass


Optionally garnish with a lemon peel 

It’s finally here, Dude. Movie Mixology’s most requested episode, The White Russian from 1998’s “The Big Lebowski.” Grab some vodka, coffee liqueur, and cream and join the hosts as they laugh their way through this discussion of a Coen Brothers classic. Will Pat and Marissa stop quoting the movie long enough to actually get in their shots? Listen on to find out!

TREEHORN: "What's your drink, Dude?"


DUDE: "White Russian, thanks. How's the smut business, Jackie?"


TREEHORN: I wouldn't know Dude. I deal in publishing, entertainment, political advocacy.


DUDE: "Which one's 'Logjammin'?"

Listen on to find out!!🎸🍸


 


INT. BAR - LATER


Cal sits at the bar, drinking away his sorrows. He’s disheveled, a bit wobbly. BARTENDER approaches off-screen.

CAL: "Oh! Yeah...Yes. Thanks."

This week’s episode of Movie Mixology features three different battles. Vampires vs. Lycans. Critics vs. Fans. Marissa vs. Patrick. Just kidding about that last one. Or, are we? Tune in as Patrick and Marissa drink The Ultimate Bloody Mary inspired by 2003's “Underworld.” The hosts agree that the vampire outfits are killer, but will they concur that the movie’s special effects have stood the test of time? Listen on to find out! 🧛‍♀️


 


SINGE: "Even at the cellular level, our species seemed destined to destroy each other. That is, until we found Michael. The Corvinus strain allows for a perfect union. A triple-celled platelet...which holds unspeakable power."


VIKTOR: "There can be no such union. And to speak of it is heresy".


SINGE: "We'll see...Once Lucian has injected himself with Michael's blood."


VIKTOR: [whispering] "Lucian is dead."


SINGE: [smirking] "According to whom?"


 


Ultimate Bloody Mary Recipe 


Original Recipe by Dylan Garret: https://www.winemag.com/recipe/best-bloody-mary-recipe/ 


We took inspiration from this recipe and added beef jerky sticks, tajin on the rim and more scallions as garnishes :)

INT. BYRNES HOUSE - A FEW MINUTES LATER


Greg enters the room wearing a turtleneck sweater that is clearly Jack's.


JACK: "Shirt fit okay Greg?"


GREG: "Oh, fantastic. Thanks Jack."


JACK: "Good. Tom Collins coming up."


Greg ignores this and begins exasperatedly whispering to Pam.


GREG: "You know, I wish you hadn't told your parents that I hate cats!"

The excited Director says more in Japanese. Translator nods in understanding. Bob doesn't really know what's going on.


TRANSLATOR: "Like an old friend, and into the camera." 


DIRECTOR: (to Bob) "Suntory Time!"


They get ready, and roll camera. Bob turns and looks suavely to the camera:


BOB: "For relaxing times, make it Suntory time."
