The crew celebrate Dave's belated birthday by watching 2023's "The Vourdalak", a French film based on the Russian novella, "The Family of the Vourdalak".

This movie has it all; a French noble, a beauty mark, a dysfunctional Serbian family with lots of issues and . . . a freaky marionette!

Scott's cocktail was damned tasty.

1.5 oz Rum

1.5 oz White Chocolate Liqueur

.5 oz Luxardo Maraschino or Maraschino liqueur

⅛ tsp Vanilla Extract

White Chocolate Shavings & Maraschino Cherry, for garnish.

Combine and shake ingredients (except chocolate shavings) w/ice. Pour into a chilled martini glass using a strainer. Grate white chocolate over top, add a cherry (optional) and serve!

Dave is joined by comic creators Drew Edwards and David Bowles to chat about their upcoming "The Matron" comic, a wild hybrid of Slasher meets Slavic myth in Central Texas. 

At the time of this posting, the project has a Kickstarter campaign, with very cool perks, below:

The crew watch 1962's "Burn Witch Burn" ( Also known as "Night of the Eagle" ) when Mary is back for a visit to Deep Dark Lounge Midwest. The first attempt at recording was a disaster - cocktails MAY have been responsible. The second recording (after Mary had returned to Deep Dark Lounge East) was MUCH better.

Enjoy!

"Love Potion" cocktail

In a shaker without ice, shake vigorously for 30 -45 seconds, to froth egg white:

4 oz white rum

2 oz Aperol

4 oz pineapple juice

1 egg white

Add ice and shake another 15 seconds.

Strain into cocktail glass. Garnish with rose petals or maraschino cherry.
