Refresh My Memory

To misquote Firefly’s Wash Washburn, “I am a Leaf Phoenix on the wind, watch how I soar!”

The year is 1986 and the film Jason Dedrick, Eric Fell and Vicky Van are remembering is Space Camp starring Leaf (soon to be Joaquin) Phoenix. Also there’s a robot called Jinx – not to be confused with the Halle Berry character of the same name.

As the hosts talk they are refreshed by a drink called The Little Green Man, made from Brazilian Lemonade, topped off with a splash of Melon liquor. How do make Brazilian Lemonade? Well, first you need to deal with the fact that it’s actually limeade.

They also create a tribute drink called The Kate Capshot. Here’s how to make it…

It’s a drink the producer’s wife tasted and said, “Oh that’s interesting! It’s good. Like milk chocolate. It reminds me of going to a petting zoo.”

“That’s what I love about these podcasts, man. The series gets older, but the episodes stay the
same length!”

Vicky Van, Jason Dedrick and Eric Fell remember 1993’s Dazed and Confused – probably better than its characters would.

To make them even more “dazed and confused”, they snack on smash burgers and drink Coors Light.

They also create a tribute drink called the All Red All Red All Red. Want to know how to make it? It’d be cooler if you did.

The producer’s wife said it was “Very nice”. And reminded her of, “Chasing an ice cream truck!”

On this episode, Vicky Van and Jason Dedrick are joined by producer Ian Boothby for a special episode of Refresh My Memory remembering the movies of 1984.

We’d love to hear some of your favourite films from 1984, and if you want to make a drink for them, even better. We might even try to make it!

Judge not lest ye be Judge Reinhold. I think it says that somewhere in the Bible or maybe Robert McKee’s Story. Anyhoo, Vicky Van, Eric Fell and Jason Dedrick are back to talk about their memories of 1984’s Beverly Hills Cop.

Will they forget to talk about Bronson Pinchot? Don’t be ridiculous. As a nod to Pinchot’s Serge, the hosts enjoy an Espresso Martini with Lemon.

Also since it’s a buddy movie, they will also dine on A & W Buddy Burgers.

But we’re just Neutron Dancing around the real issue, did they make a tribute drink? Yes! The Banana in the Tailpipe. Want to make it?

Add to blender:

Review from producer’s wife: Totally awesome. Like visiting a mall in the ’80s and getting a better version of an Orange Julius.

Time for the talking of The Taking of Pelham One Two Three. Jason Dedrick, Eric Fell and Vicky Van take you aboard their trains of thought, stopping at 1974.

This trip does have snacks including Jell-O 1-2-3. Unfortunately the last package was made 20 years ago. So we did a three layer version of our own with cherry, orange and lemon.

If you want to see a commercial for the original though…

They also drink a Boozy 1,2,3, by combining Baileys Irish Cream and Sheridan’s Original Irish Cream (a two part drink left over from last episode).

They even create a tribute drink called the Gesundheit.

Want to make it?

Review from producer’s wife : Like drinking a dare as a teenager in the parking lot of a 7-11.

Who’s back? Refresh My memory. Also Jack. Who’s Jack? Well, let Jason Dedrick, Eric Fell and Vicky Van tell you while sharing their first impressions of this 1988 “classic”.

But what snacks to snack to Jack’s Back? Are they top of the pack? Or are they whack?

First, the hosts will enjoy some Monterey Jack cheese on a Ritz, the most James Spader of crackers.

Next is a beverage found online called Jack the Ripper. Break out the Jack Daniels and add orange juice and cinnamon to taste.

They also create a tribute drink called the Smokin’ Picardo. Here’s how to make it:

It’s a drink the producer’s wife tasted and then described as, “Oh my God! Gah! It’s like a melted Wendy’s Frosty that’s been spiked. A very warm and nice aftertaste.”

Time for another episode of Refresh My Memory, ya dig? Well, even if you don’t, the cast of the 2003 film Holes sure do. Jason Dedrick, Eric Fell and Vicky Van tell you about their memories of the movie and if it’s like biting into an apple or an onion.

Speaking of food, they also enjoy some themed snacks including focaccia, the hole-iest of breads. If you want to make some this is the Jamie Oliver recipe the producer used.

As a tribute to star Shia LaBeouf they “enjoy” a Beefback or Bullshot. Here’s how to put one together.

They also create a tribute drink called The Kissin’ Kate. Want to make it?

Into a tumbler with ice add…

Review from producer’s wife : Very nice. Like a peach Jell-O desert. Not too alcohol-ly.

Have you driven a Ford (into jumping off the Cheoah Dam) lately? Tommy Lee Jones has and that means it’s time for some memories of 1993’s The Fugitive.

Your hosts Jason Dedrick, Eric Fell and Vicky Van give you their recollections of this classic TV remake.

Along the way they enjoy some devilled eggs and a drink called the Harrison Ford made of Baileys, vodka and coffee liqueur. Did we mention we record this show in the morning? At least they had eggs.

They also create the tribute drink called a Provasic. Want to make it? Here’s the recipe…

The producer’s wife said, “It’s nice. The kind of drink you’d want while watch a St. Patrick’s Day parade in Chicago.”

What do you call a movie with all your favourite cartoon characters being killed? The Transformers: The Movie from 1986. It’s time for Refresh My memory: The Podcast to hear Vicky Van, Jason Dedrick and Eric Fell’s recollections. Does the film have the touch? Does it have the power? Or is it less than meets the eye?

In honour of Leonard Nimoy’s voice role as Galvatron, the gang enjoys his famous Potatoes La Jolla Chez Jay with a surprise hint of banana.

They also enjoy an Optimus Prime Punch by pouring blue sports drink over cranberry cocktail and then topping it with lemon-lime soda.

They also create a tribute drink called the Seizure Warning. Here’s how to make it:

The producer’s wife said it was like mouthwash and soda, and she felt sorry for the miners who had to dig for the wasted gold.
