The Wasp Woman – SSP067

Karen, wanting to switch it up after last week’s excellent movie, had the yearning to watch a classic “Bee-Movie” this week. Thus she has chosen “The Wasp Woman” from 1959 for our viewing pleasure. Join Greg and Karen as they discuss the film while they enjoy a “Stinger” cocktail. The recipe that Karen found on thespruceeats.com is below.
