It’s been a while since our hosts reviewed a film starring Fay Wray, so Greg thought it would be a good idea to watch the 1934 film, Black Moon this week. Join Greg and Karen as they discuss the film while they enjoy a “Voodoo Sunrise” cocktail. The recipe that Greg found on cocktailbuilder.com is below.
Voodoo Sunrise Cocktail Recipe
• 2 oz of grenadine syrup
• 1 shot of vodka
• 1 shot of white rum
• orange juice
Instructions:
- Pour rum and vodka into a collins glass.
- Tilt the glass, and pour the grenadine down the inside.
- Fill with chilled orange juice, and serve.
A Brief Synopsis: A young woman, who as a child lost her parents to a voodoo sacrifice, with her husband and daughter returns to the island where it took place, With disastrous aftermath.
Some of the topics discussed and highlights of this episode include:
- National Recovery Administration (N.R.A.) – An agency established by F.D.R. to eliminate “cut throat competition”. It was ruled unconstitutional in 1935.
- Schooner – What exactly defines a schooner anyway?
- Voodoo – Karen finds that this religion has similarities to others.
- In the film Juanita gets caught trying to sneak back into the house. Has either of our hosts ever been caught sneaking back in?
- Stevie Nicks – Karen makes a reference to Stevie Nicks as Juanita dances during the voodoo ceremony.
Our rating of the film:
This movie was so bad that it took us 4 cocktails to get through it.
