Hey everyone and welcome back to the Independent Filmmaker’s Guide

So a couple of weeks ago we launched our new podcast, Happy Hour Flix - where we sit down with a special guest and talk about a nostalgic film we love and love to talk about. And today we wanted to drop another one of our episodes from that podcast on this feed as another special treat. And as i said before if this feels like something you would also enjoy - we invite you to be sure and subto HAPPY HOUR FLIX as well. Links in the show notes – AND you can always just search HHF wherever you get your podcasts. Another regularly scheduled episode of IFG will also be dropping soon, so be on the lookout for that!

HAPPY HOUR FLIX is a podcast all about the movies we love and love to talk about. A nostalgic look at what we grew up watching and how they still impact us today. It's a lot of fun.


On today's episode, hosts Steven Pierce and Matt Mundy chat about a literal madcap star-studded classic, IT'S A MAD MAD MAD MAD WORLD. And to discuss all the outsized comedy, who better than Aqua Teen Hunger Force’s own, Master Shake, Dana Snyder.


Not only was this one of Steve’s favorite movies growing up, Dana reveals how obsessed he became with it, too - collecting original scripts, stashing away lore and stories from the film as deep as a true Trekky, and how so many of the comedians and actors featured were his own inspiration to go into entertainment. 


As always, we invite you to grab a beverage and enjoy the stories, and reminisce with us. Our friends over at Misguided Spirits help us design and bring to you the perfect cocktail to enjoy alongside all our episodes.


This particular cocktail was designed by mixologist Lea Marie Logan from Belle Reve in NYC, aptly named after our guest: the MASTER SHAKE!


Here's how you do it:


*a play on the cafe con leche flip 

1oz MISGUIDED spiced rum 

1oz kahlua

.5oz heavy cream 

.5oz simple syrup 

1x Egg yolk 

…Shake aggressively with light ice 

Top with nutmeg

…Serve in a small styrofoam cup with a pink straw! 


Sit back, relax and enjoy HAPPY HOUR FLIX!


A quick reminder, no matter where you are listening to us, if you could rate us and drop us a review on Apple Podcasts, we’d be so grateful - it really helps us spread the good vibes. Thank you!

HAPPY HOUR FLIX is produced by James Allerdyce and Lori Kay, and hosted by Steven Pierce and Matt Mundy.

Main Title is by Johnny Mineo.
