The Imbibe Cinema crew dives into another Michael Showalter film this season! The Big Sick (2017) features performances by Kumail Nanjiani, Zoe Kazan, Holly Hunter, Ray Romano, Anupam Kher, Zenobia Shroff, Adeel Akhtar, and more. The featured cocktail for this post-screening discussion is the Coma Shot.
