    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."

    Drinkin' at SWINGERS

    Drinkin' at THE THIN MAN
