    How to make a Casamigos Tequila Margarita and enjoy a cheesy horror comedy!

    This week, we celebrate the birthday of one of Hollywood's most charming stars, George Clooney, by reviewing his first film role in the 1987 horror comedy "Return to Horror High". This low-budget slasher spoof features a young Clooney as an actor portraying a cop who investigates a series of murders at a high school where a film crew is shooting a movie based on a previous massacre. If you love cheesy horror, bad acting, and meta humor, you'll love this cult classic.

    To make this episode even more fun, we also show you how to make a delicious Casamigos Tequila Margarita, the brand of tequila that Clooney co-founded with his friend Rande Gerber. This refreshing drink is perfect for a summer day or a movie night with friends. All you need is some Casamigos Blanco Tequila, fresh lime juice, orange liqueur, and a salt rim. Cheers!

    So join us as we toast to George Clooney's birthday and review Return to Horror High, a film that proves that you can't keep a good actor down, even if he dies in the first 15 minutes.
