Manage episode 313795687 series 3287728
"Beer is for breakfast around here, drink or be gone." This week, Pat and Marissa watch a movie about working man aristocrats, Jamaican waterfalls, and get-rich-quick schemes. The movie is 1988’s “Cocktail” and the drink is tomato flavored beer (a.k.a. the “Red Eye”). Listen on to hear these hosts discuss just how much Tom Cruise’s character is addicted to love, slam poetry, and never learning from one’s mistakes.
