The crew are joined by Dr. Tom Challman, Mary's dear father, and take a long look at the 1976 Dan Curtis movie, "Burnt Offerings".

Dave's cocktail is a Fall version of the Old Fashioned; he found the recipe on Facebook but is unable to find the name of the person who posted it.

"Burnt Offerings" cocktail:

2 oz. Whiskey
1 ounce Rosemary Cinnamon syrup ( see below)
2 dashes of Bitters.
Cinnamon stick and rosemary sprig for garnish.

Combine Whiskey, Syrup and Bitters in (what else?) an Old Fashioned glass, with ice.

Burn the tip of a cinnamon stick, add that (burnt end UP) and a sprig of Rosemary for garnish, and try not to poke out your eye while sipping.

"Rosemary Cinnamon Syrup"

Combine 1 cup of sugar and 2 cups of water in a saucepan with 2 or 3 sticks of cinnamon and 2 or 3 sprigs of Rosemary. Simmer for 15 minutes, strain and store in the refrigerator.

The crew get slimy watching James Gunn's 2006 science fiction/horror/black comedy, "Slither", and Scott's (Mary Challman - strength) cocktail packs an intergalactic punch.

"Slither" Cocktail

1 oz. Brandy
1 oz. Cointreau
1 oz. Rum
1.5 oz. Irish Cream

Combine and shake Brandy, Cointreau and Rum in a shaker with ice, pour into an Old Fashioned glass with 3-4 ice cubes. Top with Irish Cream.

Enjoy!

Mary, Scott and Dave watch 1932's certified classic, White Zombie, and, once again (with HAL Jr sleeping) the crew sneak out of the Deep Dark Lounge and record in what appears to be a backyard, complete with simulated road and air traffic sounds.

"Mary's White Zombie" cocktail was just what the Voodoo Doctor ordered . . .

In a cocktail shaker with ice, shake the following ingredients:

3 oz. Rum
1 oz. Pineapple Juice
2 oz. Lime Juice
1 oz. Orange Liqueur
1 dash Bitters

Pour into a Highball or Collins glass and garnish with "Slapped" mint sprig.

Optional - 2 oz. of Simple Syrup sweetened it up just enough for Dave.

Enjoy!

The crew introduce Mary to this classic 1966 kaiju film, and end up talking about "Tombstone" and Westerns . . . go figure.

Scott's double cocktail creation was most delectable.

"The Two Gargantuas" cocktails

In TWO Collin's glasses half-filled with ice, combine the following:

4 oz. V8 Peach Mango
3 oz. White Rum - we used coconut flavored.
4 oz. Sprite/7-Up or Sparkling White Grape Juice

This makes the base drink, the "Gaira" or "Brown Gargantua".

By adding 3 oz. of Kinky Blue Vodka, you turn one of the drinks into a "Sanda" or "Green Gargantua"

Enjoy!

The crew return from their summer vacation and watch 2007's "Dead Silence", lubricated by Dave's sweet Scotch and Soda variation. Their murderous computer HAL Jr tries to sabotage the recording right towards the end, but the gang manages to pull it off.

Cheers!

2 oz. CHEAP Scotch
3 oz. EXPENSIVE Blood Orange flavored soda
3 dashes Aromatic Bitters
Orange and Lime slices

Combine in an ice-filled Old Fashioned glass

Enjoy.

Technical issues abound, but Scott's cocktail makes up for it.
