S1E70: Bride of the Killer Piñata/Give Hugs, Not Hits

We're watching a sequel to a movie we watched years ago, before we started this podcast, so if you want to catch up first, you'll have to watch Killer Piñata. You should do that, it was a good one.

Bride of the Killer Piñata: It's been nearly a decade since our heroines first defeated the deadly Killer Piñata. Since then, adult life has become boring as shit. Work. Kids. Eating the same damned thing for dinner every night. No one trying to murder you. Sucks. Thankfully, some freakin' idiots break into their house to try and steal the exorcised corpse of the original KP. Unfortunately, especially for one guy who ends up becoming a literal d*ckhead, they awaken the spirit of the KP and he returns to his murderous rage. While sad for those guys, it's the greatest thing that has ever happened for our heroes, getting them out of the rut of a life they had settled into. Now they have to track down KP, as well as a second piñata that came to life, and with whom KP has fallen deeply in love.

Bride of the Killer Piñata final grade:

Steve: The movie was a little long, coming in at nearly two hours. Maybe an independent editor would have helped trim a little fat. Practical effects were great. The articulating piñata puppet was solid. Acting was better than you usually get with casts like this. 4.386/5.0

Brandon: Although all the side-quests were pretty well done if taken individually, there were probably still too many of them and detracted from the overall product. That said, this one is easily one of the better movies we've watched, doing well on a low budget, hitting the right humor spots, and actually...sorta...pulled off the piñata romance. 4.249/5.0

Cocktail of the Week:

Italian Piñata

1 oz Tequila Blanco

1 oz Aperol

2 oz Grapefruit Juice

Squirty of Lemon Juice

Club Soda

Red Alert! Building a citrus cocktail in the glass. No shaking. Don't tell anyone. Combine everything but the club soda over ice directly in the glass, stir to combine, then top with as much club soda as you need. Garnish with a hunk of grapefruit.

Cocktail Grade: No sweeteners in this one, so it might cure diabetes. A well-balanced drink, citrusy and refreshing. A good one after a day of yardwork in the hot sun. 4.0/5.0
