Many people say this is a podcast about drinking good cocktails with your friends while watching bad movies. But we like to think it's also about romance. So, we prepare everyone for the most important holiday of the year, Valentine's Day, by scrolling through some "Best Gifts for Him/Her" lists and see if any of the tacky trash on them is actually a decent gift idea. Turns out...not many.
Wolfcop: Some Canadian dude watched Teen Wolf and Bad Lieutenant, then decided to make a mash-up. THEN, the guy was able to get the Canadian taxpayer to pay for the project. But, these are the people that invented Poutine, so crossovers are right up their alley. As for the story, a drunk cop finds out he's a werewolf. Then he finds out the town is full of shape-shifters looking to harvest his blood. Talk about a complicated week. But, he embraces it, so good for ol' Lou Garou.
Wolfcop final grade:
Steve: A bit of a disappointment. High hopes not met. That's the problem with expectations. Too damn much shaky cam. Good practical effects, though. 2.25/5.0
Brandon: If this is the best form of Canadian cinema, worthy of public grant money, then maybe it's time to shut the place down. Quite a wiener-twist in this one, or a hog-twist for those of you north of the border. 2.4/5.0
Cocktail of the Week:
Gin Old Fashioned
2 oz Old Tom gin
1/4 oz Semi-rich Simple Syrup
Three dashes Orange Bitters
Plunk a hunk of lemon peel in a cocktail mixing glass along with some ice. Combine all ingredients in there and stir away. Strain into a lowball glass over a block of ice. Garnish with skewered lemon peel and Luxardo cherries.
Cocktail Grade: Better than expected. Kinda tastes like a lemon-lime soda without the fizz. Not a Sprite, though. Maybe a Starry. 4.1/5.0
