S1E47: Boys From County Hell/Premature Abhartach-ulation

Maybe if we watch a movie from #Ireland, more Irish folks with tune in, huh? Or maybe since it's from Northern Ireland, it doesn't count? Who knows? We're just trying to get a listener from Connacht anyway. We've also got a special guest with us this week, one of our most enthusiastic listeners, probably because she's Brandon's sister and is just being nice and supportive. But, it is nice to have someone else to talk to. Boys From County Hell: When the construction of a highway bypass disturbs the site of an ancient Irish scary creature, the Abhartach, is released on the nearby population. The guy can suck the blood right outta ya from 100 yards away, unless you're an important character in the movie. Boys From County Hell final grade: Steve A middle of the road movie for me. It's too well-done to rate any higher than average on our scale of budget vs shittyness vs accidental awesomeness. Points deducted for competent filmmaking. 3.1/5.0 Brandon A well-done movie that hits the right notes on my subjective and fluid list of requirements. Ridiculous scenes, enough successful jokes. Bonus points for not being made in the US. 4.0/5.0 Amanda Not the type of movie I usually watch, but this one was pretty good. Got some laughs. I wonder if fictional pub "The Stoker" has good fish-n-chips? Don't want to give the same score my brother did, because he's a big poopy head, so 3.99/5.0 Cocktail of the Week: Vampire's Kiss 1 1/2 oz Vodka 1 oz Chambord, old-ass or otherwise 1/2 oz Fresh-Squeezed Lemon Juice 1/2 oz Cranberry Juice 1/2 oz Fancy-ass Grenadine Brandon's mom's raspberry jelly Rim a martini glass with Brandon's Mom's Raspberry Jelly, if you can get ahold of it, or use your own. Combine everything in a cocktail shaker. Shake to chill and combine. Serve in a martini glass. Chill the glass if you want. Double strain it if you want. Whatever. Cocktail Grade: A decent-enough cocktail that maybe be negatively impacted by the fact that Steve's bottle of Chambord is from the Reagan Administration. 3.8/5 ------------------ Contact us with feedback or cocktail/movie recommendations to: [email protected] X: @boozeandbmovies Instagram: @boozeandbmovies Threads: @boozeandbmovies www.facebook.com/boozeandbmovies
