The usual chatter before getting into the movie. Steve went out to dinner at an 80s-themed restaurant that wasn't quite like going back in time. Brandon spends too much time wondering about the downfall of the nation and talking about it.
Big Ass Spider: A likeable everyman, Alex, goes about his day as a mild-mannered exterminator, shooting his shot with nearly every woman he encounters...when he crosses paths with his arch-nemesis, a spider. But, this isn't just any spider. It's a BIG ASS SPIDER! Then, it abducts the girl of his dreams and climbs to the top of the tallest building in the area. He's gotta rescue her. Have we seen this movie before?
Big Ass Spider final grade:
Steve: A really good movie, enjoyable/entertaining for just about anyone. Probably have to deduct a few points because it was too good. Lots of nods to other movies, but they were put together well. 4.25/5.0
Brandon: José is the star of the show. Buddy comedy aspects work well. My sister wouldn't like it, but that's her problem.4.196/5.0
Cocktail of the Week:
The Black Widow (Amalgamated)
1 1/2 oz Tequila (we also tried Vodka)
2 oz Unsweetened Pomegranate Juice
1/2 oz Fresh Squeezed Lime Juice
2 teaspoons Sugar
Topo Chico or other Sparkling/Mineral Water
A handful of blackberries
Add sugar, berries, and lime juice to a shaking tin, muddle to combine and express blackberry juice. Add your liquor of choice, and pomegranate juice. Shake to combine and chill, then strain over rocks in a Collins glass. Top with Topo Chico. If you're drinking this in winter, thank a Mexican or Central American farmer.
Cocktail Grade: A delicious super-fruit cocktail. Steve liked it a little better with vodka than with tequila, but it's a 4/4.5 drink either way. Overall, we'll split the difference and go 4.25/5.0
