Greatest scenes in film?  Godfather's Marlon Brando in his chair, absent-mindedly stroking his cat?  The D-Day opening in Saving Private Ryan as the bullets plink against the walls of the metal transport?  What about Dennis Hopper and Christopher Walken discussing the origin of Sicilians in True Romance?
Or maybe...just maybe...that one scene in Troll 2 where Arnold, who is morphing into a potted tree, realizes he is about to be eaten by goblin trolls.  That kind of horror makes The Ring look like a Rob Schneider movie.

I like to imagine that Arnold has Bryan's the Devil's Drink in the cup he's holding:
2 oz moonshine
1 oz Kahlua
1/2 oz Amaretto
Top off with heavy cream

Ordinarily, I'd say spoiler alerts for the movie Troll 2, but frankly, it would be impossible to spoil this movie for you.  Knowing what's going to happen will have no impact on your enjoyment.

"We're gonna need a bigger boat," for this one, as we fawn over the genius that is Stephen Spielberg.  Saving Private Ryan, Raiders of the Lost Ark, Mashed Potatoes as part of a Drink recipe. Yeah, it's all in there.

Also, this one is arguably our drunkest episode yet.

The Drink:

Marion Ravenwood's Last Shot:
2 Parts Whisk(e)y
1 Part Kahlua

I would give all my fame for a pot of ale and safety.  Unfortunately, neither one of us are famous so we have to pay cash for the ingredients to Bryan's Hamlet's Riposte.  It's expensive:

2 oz Mead
1 oz London Dry Gin
1/2 oz Absinthe

Shakespeare is the topic.  Mainly:

Hamlet
Macbeth
Richard III

Spoiler alerts, of course, so read or listen no further if you didn't know that Romeo and Juliet die at the end, but otherwise, join us as we drink ourselves out of our five senses.

Bruce Willis stinks up the Low Budget juggernaut movie that is "Breach"; a movie where the people who made it said, "It will be in the Amazon Videos list, so why do we need to make an effort?"

We begin our second season with vampires as our topic and the "Nosferatu" as our drink: a 50/50 mix of port and brandy.  Easy to remember, simple enough to make, and the perfect early evening drink after you emerge from your daytime slumber of the undead.  But you never drink wine, you say?  Well, you should start.  It turns out I like brussel sprouts, and if I hadn't tried them recently I never would have known, so...don't let being dead shut you off to new experiences.

Even though we actively mock the following films, we mean nothing by it and do not wish to incur your dark wrath, master:

Twilight
Dracula (Coppola)
Nosferatu (Murnau)
Nosferatu (Herzog)
Interview with a Vampire

For once, we actually know what we're talking about here, as we have both spent more than 3 decades combined as professional trainers.

In this episode we talk about how we met, the teachers who inspired us, and our experience as teachers.

We tell some stories along the way; some about giving back, some about teachers we've loved, and some about teachers who were not so good.

Bryan's ". . . While Grading Papers" Drink Recipe (An Homage to the American Public School Teacher):

2 oz Vodka
1oz Dark Rum
1 oz Falernum

1 Dash Brown Sugar to Taste

Place Vodka, Dark Rum, Falernum, and Banana Liquer into a shaker with ice and shake as desired.

Place brown sugar in the bottom of a glass, and strain into the glass.

Enjoy!

Bryan's "Fuck You, Tom, It is a Martini" Martini Recipe:

Need money fast?  Looking for an exciting and challenging new career?  Do you have past experience in the sciences, preferably chemistry?  Would you like to meet new people and then kill them? 

Perhaps meth making is for you.

But don’t hop into something all crazy eyes and grinding teeth, be sure to listen to the Bicoastal Boozecast episode on Breaking Bad before you make any final decisions.  Enjoy the minty menthol meth taste of an Uncertainty Principle with Tom and Bryan while they gush geekily about one of the best TV shows of all time.

Tom’s Uncertainty Principle:

4 oz vodka
2 oz crème de menthe
1 oz blue curacao
