In honor of Mother’s Day, Karen has selected the 1968 film “Rosemary’s Baby” for our viewing pleasure. Watch it with Mom and celebrate. Join Greg and Karen as they discuss the film while enjoying a “Vodka Blush Cocktail”. Karen found the recipe below on helloglow.co.
Vodka Blush Cocktail
• 2 1/2 oz vodka
• dash grenadine
• 1/2 oz fresh lime juice
• 1 sprig rosemary for garnish
Instructions:
- Fill a shaker with ice.
- Add all ingredients except the rosemary and shake.
- Strain into a champagne glass and garnish with fresh rosemary.
A Brief Synopsis: The film follows a young, pregnant wife in Manhattan who comes to suspect that her elderly neighbors are members of a Satanic cult, and are grooming her in order to use her baby for their rituals. It is based on the 1967 novel of the same name by Ira Levin.
Some of the topics discussed and highlights of this episode include:
- Tanis Root – Is there such a thing?
- Product Placement – There seemed to be a lot of product placement in this film. We won’t mention all the brands here, because they aren’t sponsoring us.
- The Dakota Building – The building used for the exterior shots in the film. Greg references one of it’s most famous previous tenants.
- The Omen – Greg makes a reference to The Omen from 1976. It may be coming to a podcast near you soon!
- Lullaby Intro – The lullaby intro to the film (Sleep Safe and Worm) was sung by Mia Farrow. Who knew?
- Ultrasounds – They were available at the time the film takes place. Probably would have been a good idea for Rosemary to get one.
- Tony Curtis – He is a voice actor in this film.
Our rating of the film:
This movie was pretty good. It only look us 2 cocktails to get through it.
