I have a suggestion: since you have a few things that are uncomfortable to poar without spilling, look for a small bowl ladle for those cases and poar into a jigger via that.

I’m a bartender at a movie theater so I especially love a movie related episode!!! Also served my wedding signature drink based on your ectocooler from the ghostbusters video.
This movie is phenomenal! Aykroyd, Murphy and Lee Curtis are a match made in heaven!! This is my second favorite Jamie Lee Curtis movie, number one is True Lies. It makes me happy that two of the funniest movies are one with Jamie Lee Curtis and one with her dad. 😁
Greg, I haven't seen half the shows and movies you reference nor have I drank three quarters of the drinks you make even before getting into the awesome originals you create. I'm here because you're entertaining as hell to me. Any movie or show or whatever you want to talk about and riff some drinks for is going to be a good time for me if it's a good time for you.
At Christmas dinner we got on the topic of how Helen Mirren has been the same age her entire career, gave me an extra bit of chuckle when you referenced the other immortals.
Casting Eddie Murphy really paid off for John Landis... he got Landis Coming to America after Landis's incredible negligence killed three people on the set of the Twilight Zone movie
@@ludi3444 Long story short, Landis ignored the safety concerns of people on set and wanted to go for "realistic" explosions and aircraft maneuvering. It resulted in a helicopter crash that killed one adult, two children, and injured six others. The podcast Behind the Bastards did a two-part episode that goes into much more detail
I used to work with a guy who loved this movie so much. He could recite it word for word. Before meetings, I would say "hey, do some Trading Places" and he would do "who has been puttin they Kools out on my rug..."
In Italy Trading Places is one of, if not the main, Christmas movie. It is airing every 24 of december at 9pm since I have memory (so at least since 1998 or so). I love it.
I love your channel. Personally very rarely have mixed drinks with more than 2 ingredients, usually a glass is involved. As its Christmas time I just want to say I appreciate you and your team. Yall make me smile, even laugh. Thank you.
Trading Places is one of my favorite films. Favorite scene takes place in the train, with all the players coming in to switch briefcases with Beeks. Jamie Lee in her lederhosen, and Eddie in his bargain basement African prince. “Beef jerky time!” And the fake Irish priest says, “Oh, no thank’ee my son. Beef jerky gives me the wind somethin’ fierce.”
the director of this movie was featured on behind the bastards because he is responsible for the deaths of two children on the set of the twilight zone movie
I love Trading Places. When I watched it when I was young, I had no clue what the trading floor scene was about. Later, when I became familiar with the stock market, I realized how brilliant the movie truly was.
IIRC Plantation's 'double aging' thing is that they age it first in the Caribbean and then bring it back to France where it's finished in French brandy barrels or something like that and then bottled there
When I'm feeling charitable, I think of Idiocracy as a movie that just wanted to wallow in simple humor behind the universal experience of being annoyed at stupid people during the Bush years, created a world where they could do that as a bit for 90 minutes, and didn't think about the implications of what they made for a single. Solitary. Second. I'm willing to give that benefit of the doubt because Mike Judge also made King of the Hill.
If you’ve ever seen 8-crazy nights, you should do drinks based off it, like the scorpion bowl, sweaty jockstrap, poopsicle, just a fun idea, one of my favorite Christmas/Chanukah movies
As much as I love "Die Hard" and think of it as something to watch on Christmas, it's not a _Christmas Movie_ because the holiday is a setting. It could've been set on New Years, July 4th or Halloween and it could've fit in. The comedy bits and the theme of the season worked very well together but if they were set on other holidays and tweaked the jokes to fit it would still be able to stand.
@@danielseelye6005 I disagree. There is no other holiday that could get John to travel across country. The themes are also Christmas oriented, in that it is about going to a party that you don't really want to be at just for family and everything spirals increasingly out of control.
I just realized that could be taken as sarcastic. I'm a huge black licorice fan and it being the only true licorice is something I preach all the time.
It's been a few years since I watched Trading Places, but I don't remember it being holiday themed at all. Die Hard at least takes place during a Christmas party.
The Christmas party and the New Year’s party in trading places are the two most important scenes other than the actual trading heist. It’s a movie about destroying class notions of human value and weighing us all as equals- I mean, it’s actually a Christmas movie, where as die hard is a stupid meme.
Hmm why don’t they make movies like this any more? *remembers the Black Face scene* Hmmmmmm… I can’t imagine. But seriously, it is a very funny movie. That is fully about class warfare and it’s incredibly relevant…except for that one part… It’s my partner’s favorite comedy. She played it for me last year for the first time. She totally forgot the black face part. I’ll never let her live it down. 😂
I absolutely love Trading Places! It’s one of my favorite Christmas movies and a must-watch for me each year! I made sure to get a physical copy of it just in case cancel culture ever gets ahold of it.
I mean i like Idiocracy, not the funniest movie ever by far, but I do remember liking it. I cant really see it being a "pro eugenics" movie unless you just flat dont get the joke of it parodying the concept, I remember getting an anti eugenics message from the concept. The whole joke being "look at this ridiculous idea of a future that eugenics suggests". Totally cool if you dont like a film but calling it a red flag if someone does like it? ...oof
That old "Satire requires a clarity of purpose and target lest it be mistaken for and contribute to that which it intends to criticize" adage rings true here, even if you do wanna give them some benefit of the doubt (which I really dont) Idiocracy fully fails to clear that bar. It doesn't ever meaningfully push back on the eugenics central to the plot, it just presents it as a fact, and now the "genius" is left to navigate the world of idiots, ensue "hijinks"
Yes you are a smart cookie and you get the point of the film. It is not evil. Its A JOKE. people are too dumb to understand it. Just too immature to understand a movie from 2006
Almost everyone I've known who referenced Idiocracy did it in a "We are heading for Idiocracy, look at all these dumb people having kids" way. I don't think it's satirizing eugenics at all, and if it is it is subtle enough that most of the audience does not see it. Satirizing fascist ideas is incredibly difficult, because generally fascists don't care about the satire aspect and enjoy it unironically. See Warhammer 40k.
@@sethwick8348 I sincerely hope you are not suggesting that a majority of 40K fans enjoy the fascist themes in the setting unironically Side note: the movie is written by Mike Judge, who has stated he does not believe in eugenics during interviews about the movie. Much of his content has commentary on being good parents and being involved with your kids lives raising them well.
These drinks are great. Can’t wait to try them. Trading Places is one of my all time favorite movies. Holds up today. Awesome episode! Thanks Greg and Meredith!
I never thought about Idiocracy as being a "pro-eugenics" movie, but I guess that's something you could take away from that film. The film posits that "stupid people" out-breed everyone else making the world full of nothing but stupid people, so I guess it's implicitly saying that we could prevent that dystopia by stopping "stupid people" from breeding. Interesting take.
Any projection about either the right or wrong sorts of people breeding is a eugenics stance. The idea of breeding humans for intentionally selected traits *is* eugenics. The idea that people could accidentally breed for specific traits *is* eugenics. It’s 100% a eugenics movies.
Woah, well, Merry Christmas then? I ended up getting mixology gear (From barfly no less) for christmas, so this is just the Orange Zest on top of everything else for me.
Someone suggested Cocktail and I immediately thought of Top Gun. Now, I am not a Tom Cruze fan but, and it's been a while but, I think there is only the one bar scene in the movie and I don't think any specific drinks are named. So a collection of themed cocktails from the movie would be nice. And as I typed "themed" my mind went straight to A Christmas Story. CRAP! This is my number one Christmas movie. Trading Places is a very close second. But I'm sure there are many a cocktail to be created from the events of A Christmas Story as well. Can't wait to see what you come up with. Keep it going. Love ya Greg.
A classic comedy that I saw when it was first released. (Damn, I'm old.) "Turn those machines back on!" "Camerooooon!" and "Looking good, Billy Ray! Feeling good, Louis!" have been little in-jokes between my wife and I for decades.
Salmon drink idea, a smoked salmon Bloody Mary, smoke the whole beverage though, and garnish with a piece of smoked salmon, crispy salmon skin, pickled lime rind, and pickled shallot.
You need to see Dr. Detroit if you are a fan of Dan Ackroyd. Seriously. It may have been a flop, but if you're a fan, you should see it. It's out there, sometimes it's hard to find, but you can find it.
Your description of the clarified orange juice losing the sweetness reminded me of the negative reviews Blood and Sand made with sweet 'orange' orange juice instead of the tart juice of a blood orange. Thoughts on the proper 'blood' version? It's winter, they're in season.
An all time classic movie. Eddie also calls back to it in Coming to America when the Duke Brothers are sleeping on the streets of Queens and Prince Akeem (Murphy) gives them a bag of money. "Mortimer....we're back!"
One note: stick with sherbet. It's what we, in my working class family, accepted as "almost ice cream and probably a step above ice milk". Sorbet is for fancy folks over in Shelbyville.
i haven't seen it, and now i know that it's fun but maybe not something it would be good for me to watch without company and a close reading of the tvtropes page, but the video was super fun. ...nice Porky Pig. XD Happy new year!
Trading Places is my favorite Christmas movie and one of my general all-time faves. The comedy is hilarious, the commentary is biting, and I'm alright forgiving the problematic parts of it because they (mostly) serve the story. I dunno if I'll make any of these drinks, but I absolutely enjoyed the episode. Looking good, Greg!!
I've never seen Trading Places, but I watched because I've seen HTD and I like that! Also, you keep introducing me to coop new movies - previously there was that Weird Al movie you recommended with the Burberry daiquiri that's now on my watchlist, and now I'm adding Trading Places! Do I guess what I'm saying is you're rapidly becoming my recommended movie guy as well as my recommended drink guy!
I absolutely love the glass used @10:12 for the "Orange Juice from the Future" cocktail! On what site can I find that - is it among the VISKI (I think that's the company's name) list of glassware items to choose and order?
I just went on a desperate multiple day hunt for Angostura. Not even Bezos could help me out. But finally, in the dark corners of the basement of an old department store - success! They will be cherished.
Any other movies you want me to talk about? Lemme know!

Blues Brothers!
Lord of the Rings
I'll think of more
You should play games where you make cocktails from around the world drink them and guess where they are from
For your One-Dollar-Aire, you could replace the lemon, simple, and seltzer, all with Sprite to make it even cheaper.
Brilliant. Mind if I use Squirt instead, though? Either one is in the checkout line at Target
Gotta go for that Faygo Mountain Mist
That's an abomination. I love it.
My husband said to use the plastic squeeze lemon container of lemon juice.
SoCo or Colt 45 would make the drink cheaper.
Suggestion for a series of "but cheaper" cocktails-- instead of exotic ingredients and gold-leafing everything, making the best of the bottom shelf.
You watch Josh don't you.
This some Joshua Weissman inspired stuff

"Making this show for 10,000 years." Further evidence that Greg is a vampire.
No garlic in any of his drinks neither....
@@Furry-iousNews there's a whole episode where he did garlic drinks about a year and a half ago
@@tiny989 so we know he turned into one at some point after that.

Well, in the 60’s she was much younger, like in the film Age of Consent… which is, well, about that.

The comedy is hilarious, the commentary is biting, and I'm alright forgiving the problematic parts of it because they (mostly) serve the story. I dunno if I'll make any of these drinks, but I absolutely enjoyed the episode.
Looking good, Greg!!
I've never seen Trading Places, but I watched because I've seen HTD and I like that! Also, you keep introducing me to coop new movies - previously there was that Weird Al movie you recommended with the Burberry daiquiri that's now on my watchlist, and now I'm adding Trading Places! Do I guess what I'm saying is you're rapidly becoming my recommended movie guy as well as my recommended drink guy!
wasn't expecting a new vid till next year! thanks as always for your hard work : ] and for the movie rec haha it sounds hilarious
Apparently, there are special lids with a spout for the moonshine in jars, but honestly just use a gravy ladle? Don't pour, scoop. 😛

I would think that double aged would mean that it's been aged in two different barrels. Say oak, and then sherry or something like that. Just my guess
Trading Places is the greatest movie. EVER.
BRO! Just discovered your channel and love it. But - was surprised you haven't done an episode on SHRUBS!
Consider.
Now I have to watch trading places again

Have always loved trading places, always look forward to htd.
One of my favorite movies, love the drinks!
I love trading places I even have sought out and purchased all the funko pops dedicated to the movie
I absolutely love the glass used @10:12 for the "Orange Juice from the Future" cocktail! On what site can I find that - is it among the VISKI (I think that's the company's name) list of glassware items to choose and order?
"I dunno, like I kinda don't want it to be like a meme that Greg just puts Angostura on everything..."
Should we tell him?
I just went on a desperate multiple day hunt for Angostura. Not even Bezos could help me out. But finally, in the dark corners of the basement of an old department store - success!
They will be cherished.
I have not watched Trading Places, but you've sold me on the class war aspect so maybe I should
It's all good Gregg, sins I ran into this episode thanks to auto play.
I watched this video specifically because I LOVE Trading Places
