This week, we examine and discuss the movie Grosse Pointe Blank (1997), diving into the iconic soundtrack and the way it underscores the film's characters, storylines, comedy, and themes.

Also, Trish's favorite thing this week is the book THE RED TAROT, by diviner and educator Christopher Marmolejo.

This week's cocktail or mocktail-- THE STRUMMER ("Strummah"):

1½ oz of vodka (for mocktail, use sparkling water or lemon soda)
½ oz Chambord (for mocktail, use raspberry syrup or cran-raspberry juice)
¼ oz dry Vermouth (for mocktail, use white grape juice or sparkling water)
¼ oz Alkermes Liqueur, which you'll never be able to find. So substitute with Campari... or if you wanna lean into the cough syrup experience, try Maraschino liqueur. (For mocktail, use vanilla syrup or a few drops of vanilla extract and a dash of cinnamon, anise, nutmeg or your favorite spice or extract)

Combine all ingredients in a shaker with ice, then shake, strain into a cute glass, and garnish with fresh or freese-dried raspberries or dried flowers.
