S1E22: Get Duked/Hoodies in the "High"lands Booze and B-Movies
-
- Film Reviews
Off to Scotland this week.
Four secondary school students (two delinquents, one street-tough poseur rapper wanna-be, and a diligent hardworker) are set off in the wilderness on the Duke of Edinburgh Award program. One of them wants to do a good job to pad his CV, the other three want to screw around and get high. You may be familiar with the setup.
The four soon find themselves in the crosshairs of an upper crust psycho whose annual sport is to kill the ne'er-do'wells who are sent out on this expedition. Hallucinogenic rabbit feces. Wackiness ensues. Social commentaries are made.
The movie has a hard time mixing the "psychological thriller" genre with the "goofball comedy" genre and end up offering a fairly inoffensive product. It is entertaining, though.
Get Duked Final Grades
Steve: Another middle of the road movie. It's a reasonable movie to watch, so don't avoid it, but there's nothing particularly noteworthy about it. Relatively family friendly. Calling this a "horror" movie is a stretch. 3/5
Brandon One of a handful of movies that don't stir a strong reaction for or against. Production quality is good. If the sense of humor in this movie suits you, you'll enjoy it. 3/5
Cocktail of the Week:
Rusty Nail
2 2/3 oz Scotch Whisky
1 1/3 oz Drambuie
Cocktail Grade: Essentially a Scottish Old Fashioned. Whiskey base and the Drambuie serves as a sort of Old Fashioned Mix. There are different theories on how to proportion the cocktail, so do what you want. The Drambuie is pretty honey-heavy and very sweet, so perhaps go with a stronger whisky pour than we did. Still a 5/5. Easy to mix, easy to drink.
