from Drink the Movies · host Brian and Michaela
This week on we’re feeling the rhythm, feeling the rhyme, and getting on up because it’s bobsled time! We’re revisiting the ultimate 1993 feel-good underdog story, Cool Runnings. We’ll follow the journey of four Jamaican athletes who trade the tropical heat of Kingston for the sub-zero temperatures of the Calgary Winter Olympics. We’ll talk about John Candy’s heartfelt performance, the legendary "lucky egg," and why this movie remains the gold standard for sports comedies.To bridge the gap between the Caribbean sun and the icy bobsled track, we’re mixing up a sophisticated, warming cocktail appropriately titled Winter. This drink is designed to keep you cozy even if you're stuck in a walk-in freezer practicing your starts.It’s the perfect companion for a movie about unlikely heroes who prove that you don't need a snowy backyard to have a cold-weather heart.So, kiss your lucky egg, grab your parkas, and get ready to raise a glass to Cool Runnings!Cocktail comes from Difford's GuideMerch ShopPatreonInstagramBlueskyFacebookhttps://www.drinkthemovies.comYouTubeDiscord*Please Drink Responsibly*
