Steve's got a bone to pick with Costco. The episode isn't super timely, since Brandon is a lazy little Suffering Bastard and hasn't been holding up his end of the deal lately.
Pieces: A tween-age fella likes to put together a puzzle of a naked lady. His mom catches him one time, admonishes him, and threatens him with punishment if she catches him again. Fortunately for him, that won't be a problem, because he splits her like a piece of cordwood with a hatchet. Fast forward many years, and women start getting killed on the campus of a "university" in "Boston," and with different body parts taken off of each one. Turns out this kid ended up being a big weirdo as an adult. But which one of these seemingly well-adjusted adults is actually the murdering psychopath? Definitely not Willard. He's just a regular weirdo.
Pieces final grade:
Steve: Better than I anticipated. The dialogue sucked, execution wasn't bad. The lighting was good. 3.54/5.0
Brandon: Not in my sweet-spot for movies, but it was decent. Yet another wiener-twist. No "thriller" element. 3.3/5.0
Cocktail of the Week:
The Suffering Bastard
1 oz Gin (allegedly a dry version for the "best" result)
1 oz Bourbon
1 teaspoon, aka 1/6 oz Fresh-Squeezed Lime Juice
1 dash Angostura Bitters
As much ginger beer as it takes
Add everything but the ginger beer to a cocktail shaker. Shake to chill and combine, then strain over fresh ice in whatever glass you like. Top that with however much ginger beer it takes to fill your glass.
Cocktail Grade: Started off OK, but as the movie wore on, the gin/bourbon mixture wasn't so easy on the tummy. From a flavor perspective, could probably use a little more lime, and the bitters are pronounced. Just have a regular Mule of some sort. 2.8/5.0
