Continuing her quest to watch all of the Universal classic monster movies, Karen has chosen the 1933 film “The Invisible Man” for our viewing enjoyment this week. Join Greg and Karen as they discuss the film while they enjoy a “Jack Frost Cocktail”. The recipe that Karen found on theblondcook.com is below.

Jack Frost Cocktail Recipe

• Light corn syrup or honey for rimming glasses
• Flaked coconut for rimming glasses
• 2 cups ice (more or less depending on desired consistency)
• 2 oz pineapple juice
• 1 oz blue curacao
• 1 oz vodka or light rum
• 1 oz cream of coconut

Instructions:

Rim the glasses: Pour a thin layer of corn syrup onto a plate and dip the rims into the corn syrup, then dip in coconut flakes.
In a blender, blend ice, pineapple juice, blue curacao, vodka and cream of coconut until desired consistency is reached.
Pour into glasses and serve immediately.

A Brief Synopsis: While researching a new drug, Dr. Jack Griffin stumbles on a potion that can make him invisible. When he reveals his new ability to his old mentor and his fiancée, it’s clear that a side effect of the potion is insanity. Jack goes on a violent rampage, and the police struggle to hunt him down, unable to see their target, while his mentor and his former partner desperately try to devise a plan to capture him.

Some of the topics discussed and highlights of this episode include:

1933 Special Effects – Karen explains how they made Claude Rains invisible.
Monocane – The main ingredient in the serum that turns Jack invisible. Is it a real chemical?
It’s a Wonderful Life – Henry Travers, who plays Dr. Cranley also portrayed the angel Clarence in “It’s a Wonderful Life”.
Renfield – Dwight Frye, Karen’s “favorite” universal actor played Renfield in Dracula. In this film he is a reporter.
Invisibility vs Being Able to Fly – Which superpower would our hosts choose?

Our rating of the film:
