“The Ape” from 1940 starring Boris Karloff is the film Greg picked for us to enjoy on this episode. Join Greg and Karen as they discuss and critique the film while drinking “Spinal Tap Shooters”. Hilarity is sure to ensue. Below is the drink recipe that Greg discovered on barnonedrinks.com.

Spinal Tap Shooter Recipe

• 1 oz vodka
• 1/2 oz peach schnapps
• 1/2 oz white creme de cacao

Instructions:

Combine ingredients in a shaker with ice
Shake
Strain into a shot glass

A Brief Synopsis: Dr. Bernard Adrian is researching a way to help a wheelchair-bound patient, Frances, use her legs again. The only way he can achieve this is by procuring spinal fluid from a human. When an ape escapes from a circus, Dr. Adrian kills it in a confrontation and successfully uses its spinal fluid on Frances — but he needs more. Using the ape’s body as a suit, he kills townspeople in a crazed attempt to complete his plan.

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

Francis vs Frances – Who knew there was a difference?
Polio – Karen enlightens us with a lot of facts about Polio.
Afghan blankets – Apparently Karen’s Grandmother was quite the knitter.
Creme de Cacao vs Creme de Cocoa – Greg gives us the details.
Greg does his impressions of the young boys and many of the other towns people – Has anyone else noticed that Greg seems to like to do impressions?
Boris Karloff’s penmanship – It is actually pretty good, unlike most Doctor’s today.
Dogs – They appear to act oddly aggressive when Greg is around. Why would that be?
Praying the Rosary – We learn that Karen spent a lot of her time as a child Praying the Rosary while being beaten by her siblings.

Our rating of the film:

This movie was soooo bad that it took us 5 cocktails to get through it.
