We are 83 weeks away from the 100th Academy Awards and it's... 5 'o clock somewhere!  Join hic Adam, Drew, and Sarah as they wash down last year's feel-good comedy with an unrelenting alcoholic drama; 1945's The Lost Weekend.



Don Birnam is a man with a problem - a post-Prohibition alcohol addiction that comes to a head on one specific weekend.  Instead of going on a rehabilitative retreat with his brother, Don goes on a bender; with a saga that twists in his backstory with his current downfall.  It may simultaneously be one of the darkest and the most weirdly artistic movies we've covered thus far - but does that go over smooth or bitter with the crew?


In this episode you're gonna hear:

  • The most polarizing scores we've seen so far for a movie
  • Which other major film award this movie was the first ever recipient of
  • How The Lost Weekend is "a masterclass in visual storytelling"
  • A drinking game you can play to get in the action with Don Birnam
