A Little Inception Between Friends Jan 28, 2021

Show notes

Do you remember Inception? Claire didn't, so she re-watched it. 2010 was a wild year for movies. This weeks pairing is between Arthur (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) and Eames (Tom Hardy) and is much easier to understand the pining between them than it is to understand the complexities of dream architecture.

Pairing: PINE-apple SCREW-driver - A simple drink for a complex movie. Pour 1.5 oz of vodka into a highball glass filled with ice and top with pineapple juice. Garnish with cherries.
