19 - Holes by Louis Sachar

In the words of the opening sequence, we "Dig it, oh, oh, ohhh. Dig it." This adaptation is a delightful mix of middle school whimsey and heckin' tough conversations. Child incarceration, corrupt adults, and ancient curses make this children's book very much not a children's book. Hear us talk about young Shia, the impeccable Sigourney Weaver as The Warden, and our love of pop music from this era. To get creeped out by a version of Shia Labeouf you never knew you needed, check out Rob Cantor's creation with the LA Choir here.   Episode Drink: The Kiss on the Lips 1 1/2 ounces peach schnapps 5 ounces frozen mango mix (or mango chunks, if you can't find mango mix) 1 tablespoon grenadine 2 cups crushed ice Optional: Garnish with wild onion Put the peach schnapps, frozen mango and crushed ice into a blender and blend in spurts until smooth. Pour the grenadine into the bottom of a cocktail glass and then pour the blended mixture in over the top of it. Garnish with a pineapple slice and cherry. Recipe:  Mix That Drink   Our Drinking Game for this Story: Take a drink when: The Warden says "Excuse me?" Everytime you question whether John Voight is acting or just being himself. Your heart goes pitter pat when Sam tells Kate, "I can fix that." Take three drinks for each flashback and we're sorry in advance.   Blue Apron has tasty meals at affordable prices.
