Enough with podcasts talking about something mild, it’s time to talk about Something Wild, the very-1986 film directed by Jonathan Demme before those lambs got so loud. (And, as a bonus, watching the movie will make a joke in Dumb And Dumber make sense.
A combination of Seagrams (or a reasonable facsimile) and Wild Cherry Life Savers is tried, and it goes over…not well.
They also come up with the tribute drink The Dine and Dash. Want to make it?
* Take a shooter glass.
* Add one half oz of Blue Curaçao
* Add one half oz of Vanilla Liqueur
* Add a hint of maraschino cherry liquid
The producer’s wife thought this tasted like vanilla Windex but liked the aftertaste which reminded her of Coca Cola gummies.
If you make The Dine and Dash or make up one of your own, please send a picture to sneakyd@sneakydragon.com by following

We received an email from listener Louise that we wanted to share with our listeners:
Dear Refresh My Memory. When I first saw Something Wild, I remembered admiring the screenplay for being so unpredictable. It really plays with the concepts of light and dark, truth and lies, and good and bad. This week’s podcast inspired me to make a drink that reflects the wild journey the movie takes you on. The alcohol tempts you to hide from your problems but then the caffeine serves as a wake-up call to face reality.
