Being that we are in the month of March, and March is named after the Roman God of War, and the Planet Mars is named after the same God, Greg has picked the 1953 film “Invaders From Mars” for our viewing pleasure. Join Greg and Karen as they discuss the film while they enjoy a “Life on Mars” cocktail. The recipe for this drink was found on makemeacocktail.com by Greg.

• A small bottle of orange juice
• 3 1/3 oz lemonade
• 1 oz blue curacao
Instructions:
- Add all the ingredients into a highball glass with ice.
- Stir and serve.

A Brief Synopsis: After a flying saucer lands in his backyard, a young boy sets out to save the townsfolk that have become the zombie-like puppets of alien invaders.
Some of the topics discussed and highlights of this episode include:
- Cerebral Hemorrhage – What is it exactly?
