We have some spicy takes on this adaptation. We love the topic, we’re not sure about the book and we don’t even have enough words to describe this movie. Get into it with us as Jordan shares some deeply held theater loves, Emily goes on a rant about how there doesn’t always need to be a defining reason for things, and we recognize our own failings halfway through.
Episode Drink: The Fair Lady
1 oz sage-infused doblin blanc vermouth
¾ oz krogstad aquavit
¾ oz grapefruit juice
1 tsp cane sugar syrup
Dry champagne
Instructions: Shake all the ingredients (except the champagne) with ice, then strain into a flute. Top with champagne.
Recipe From: Death & Co.’s The Cocktail Book
Our Drinking Game for this Story
Take a drink:
When you see nudity (male or female)
Whenever Lili gets a bloody nose
Whenever Gerda is selfish
Whenever Lili is selfish
Whenever you cry.
When you start to realize that the movie is on the cusp of not aging well.
Take two drinks whenever you feel like you’re supposed to cry… but you just can’t muster it.
Raise a glass to spotting Emerald Fennell in this movie and you squeal because in the past couple of years, you’ve jumped on the Emerald Fennell train and want to be her friend? No? Just Jordan? Okay.
