55 - I'm Thinking of Ending Things by Iain Reid

We need a drinking game for this episode of the podcast and not just the story! Count how many times we say pedantic, pretentious, and circle-jerk. (Hint: it's a bunch) We love the cast of this movie and have strong opinions about the execution. One of us just breaks and can't even bring her feelings to words. We're sorry in advance.   Episode Drink: The Schrodinger's Cat Recipe   Ingredients For the honey syrup 1/2 cup Clover honey 1/4 cup boiling water   For the cocktail: 3 slices peach Ice 3/4 ounce freshly squeezed lemon juice 1 dash Angostura bitters 1/2 ounce honey syrup 1/2 ounce mezcal 1/2 ounce Lillet blanc 1 1/2 ounces bourbon Garnish: peach slice Instructions 1. To make the honey syrup, stir hot water into honey until dissolved. Let cool. (Excess syrup can be stored, covered, in the refrigerator for several weeks.) 2. Muddle peach slices in a cocktail shaker. Fill cocktail shaker with ice. Add Angostura, honey syrup, lemon, mezcal, Lillet, and bourbon. Shake vigorously. 3. Double-strain in to a cocktail glass. Garnish with peach slice.   Recipe From: SeriousEats.com   Our Drinking Game for this Story:  Take a drink every time you see an outfit change. Take a drink when the age changes. Take a drink whenever you begin to feel uneasy. Take a drink any time Jake says something pretentious.  Take shot when you notice the actor change? Because why the fuck not, there are no rules to this story ande to this game. When the young woman and Jake are in the car going to get ice cream, take some shrooms because that is the only way you're going to enjoy the ending...maybe even make sense of it.    Indie Bookstore Recommendations: Jordan: John K.
