from What We're Drinking with Dan Dunn · host Dan Dunn
This week Dan welcomes acclaimed screenwriter and novelist Cliff Dorfman, whose riveting new crime novel, Crime Family, is already turning heads. Cliff shares behind-the-scenes stories from his time writing on Entourage, co-writing the acclaimed film Warrior, and making the leap from Hollywood to the world of crime fiction. Along the way, the conversation dives into storytelling, organized crime, the realities of the entertainment business, and the creative process, all while sipping tropical frozen cocktails made with Malibu Rum, bananas, strawberries, and orange juice. Also on this episode, Dan serves up another installment of "History at Work and in the Making," presented by Warbringer Bourbon. This time, he explores the fascinating history of Bottled in Bond—why the designation was created, what standards a whiskey must meet to earn it, and how the Bottled-in-Bond Act forever changed the American whiskey industry.
