The Drinking Game: Ant Man and The Wasp
Published on July 9, 2018, by Ailish Elzy.
As of now, with a decade worth of the MCU, weâve officially split these movies into two categories.
There are the light silly ones. Movies like Spider Man: Homecoming, Thor: Ragnarok or Guardians of the Galaxy. And there are the dark intense serious ones like The Avengers, Dr. Strange and Captain America Civil War (or honestly any Captain America). This is easily in the light silly category, but itâs toward the bottom. First of all, it should be called The Wasp Featuring Ant Man because she does way more than he does in this movie, but thatâs beside the point. One refreshing thing about this movie is that the stakes are low AF. The world isnât gonna end, the city isnât gonna explode.
Ant Man and the Wasp is really just a film about people trying to have a normal family. Scotty is trying to do a good job as a dad and be a good influence on his daughter Peanut. Hope and Hank are trying to reach their long-lost mother and wife Michele Pfeiffer. Morpheus is trying to help save his surrogate daughter Ghost who is slowly dying of some quantum disease.
There was a review that basically said there are a lot of moments where side-characters steal the show and itâs true, but I really think Randall Park was overlooked in that review.  Randall is one of the funniest parts of this movie, second to Michael Peña, and I would love a hilariously mundane spin-off film of just him trying to do his job right, learn some magic, maybe make some new friends and deal with superheroes in a city where they donât usually have superheroes
Lastly, as someone from the Bay Area, I hate when movies disrespect the logic of the location (Iâm looking at you, San Andreas) But I will also say, most of these MCU movies happen in some version of New York so Iâm glad theyâre giving the west coast a chance to show they deserve to get their city destroyed, but because itâs Ant Man and he goes from small to large, the damage is pretty low which is nice.

Thereâs a fish metaphor

Thereâs a flashback (Double when itâs Drunk History style)

The Drinking Game: Uncle Drew
Published on July 9, 2018, by Ailish Elzy.
If youâve ever seen a Gold Bond, The General or Icy hot commercial and thought, âwow Shaq is a great actor, Iâd love to see him act more in heavy prostheticsâ you are in luck.
If youâre looking for that light-hearted really silly summer comedy, donât sleep on Uncle Drew. It seems dumb on the surface, but trust me when I say itâs the right kind of dumb. For a film that got its inspiration from a Pepsi commercial, it manages to include everything you want for a summer blockbuster: A dance-off, a car chase, and Tiffany Haddish.
Imagine if there was an alt universe of the Carmichael Show where Bobby Carmichael and Nekesha got back together, but in this version, Bobby didnât have a loving and supportive family and was actually an orphan and used basketball as a way to cope with his feelings and find his place in the world. And just when his life goes to shit and Bobby Bottleservice steals his basketball team and what he thinks is his only shot at success, he meets Kyrie Irving and finds new meaning in life from these old ballers.
Drink when
Thereâs a celebrity cameo
Someone swishes
âShe Ready!â
They mention another basketball player
Someone makes a short joke
It gets meta (Pass the ball Kobe, or Iâve seen Get Outâ)
Montage Time!
Shaq does karate outside the dojo

The Drinking Game: Upgrade
Published on June 29, 2018, by Ailish Elzy.
Do you ever imagine what would have happened to Ryan Atwoodâs brother
Trey in the OC if he wasnât shot by Marissa?
Letâs pretend weâre in a not so distant future where heâs still the fast car
loving, all old school, grease monkey, but heâs married (donât worry if you
forget, heâll continuously remind you). Heâs all analog and his wife is all digital.
Opposites attract I guess? They live in a black mirror-esque future with self-
driving cars, smart houses that put on your evening playlists as soon as youâre
home and two huge tech companies competing to be the best. So maybe itâs
not that hard to imagine. Anyway, Trey (whose name in the movie is GREY
TRACE so nice try hiding the fact that heâs ânot Ryanâs brotherâ) and his wife
gets in a strange car crash, sheâs murdered and heâs paralyzed. Later heâs
given the opportunity to walk again IF he puts a computer chip in his body to
controls his motor functions and read his mind. BUT he canât tell anyway
about it, BUT ALSO DONâT WORRY ITâS ALL FREE. So yeah, seems very chill.
Just casually put Siri in your spine. The spine Siri called Stem helps Grey/Trey
do everything from pour whiskey like a robot, remind him of everything he
touched to wipe fingerprints from a crime scene and straight murder some
fools. Itâs honestly pretty awesome. This movie has Ex-Machina meets
Hardcore Henry vibes and I am here for it honey!!! Go see it and play this
drinking game!
Drink when:
When he says âmy wifeâ
When he asserts that he hates computers or anything made past 1970
When you realize youâre not watching Tom Hardy
When Trey/Grey looks away from murdering someone

The Drinking Game: Ibiza
Published on June 29, 2018, by Ailish Elzy.
With the success of Girls Trip and Rough Night and the need for more
movies with a whole bunch of ladies, Netflix was like âI think Iâm gonna try and bank on this trendâ. But theyâre Netflix so you really never know. I feel like
theyâre constantly playing darts blindfolded hoping theyâll hit that sweet,
sweet bullseye like they did with Stranger Things or Master of None, but this
is, unfortunately, more of a flop like Friends from College. Itâs got a ton of
people I love from other things, but it just didnât blend right.
The plot of this movie is pretty straightforward, girlfriends go to Spain,
one falls in love/lust with a DJ, they follow him to Ibiza do a lot of drugs and
drinking and have to make it back to Barcelona in time for the business
meeting theyâre actually there for. If it sounds bad, itâs because it is. I really,
really wanted to like this movie, but it was such a bad representation of party
culture in Ibiza that even the island of Ibiza is trying to sue Netflix. The best
part about this movie is Phoebe Robinson and literally everything she says. If
anything, good comes out of this I really hope itâs 100 more roles for Phoebe.
Honestly these girls are all talented and they should be given the chance to
make a shit movie and then make a great one if dudes are allowed to do this
constantly (*cough* Armie Hammer *cough*)
I donât really recommend seeing this movie, but I will say that it makes
for one HELL of a drinking game! You really donât even need that many rules.
I promise you, you will get shit faced so play with caution!!
Drink:
Anytime someone says Leo West
Anytime someone says Harper
Anytime they say where they are (This is New York, I canât believe weâre in Spain, Welcome to Ibiza)
Every time a main character makes out with someone
Any slo-mo montage (twice if theyâre drinking during it)

The Drinking Game: Hotel Artemis
Published on June 29, 2018, by Ailish Elzy.
There was an old lady who ran a hotel
She had such bad anxiety, but could save a cartel
She fixed all their wounds and they followed her rules
Until Honolulu brought in a pen full of jewels
Finally, from the guy who brought you Iron Man 3 and the upcoming Sherlock Holmes 3, a film that grabs all your favorite side characters from past and future Marvel properties and puts them in a hotel/hospital for criminals. The concept of the movie is very cool, but there are some elements of Clarice/The Nurse/ Jodie Fosterâs backstory that really make the movie fall apart. I guess itâs that classic plot line of the highly intelligent capable person being easily persuaded to throw away everything they stand for because of emotions.
This movie has some badass fight scenes with your favorite one legged lady from The Kingsman and some classic lines from your favorite Guardian of the galaxy including âDo you see this badge, it means Iâm a healthcare professional!â Charlie Day gets to act as an arms dealer which on paper seems cool, but itâs so hard to not think heâs just Charlie Kelly playing the wild card. And Zackary Quinto gets to play a bitch of a son to Jeff Goldblum which Quinto should play more of. Thereâs one solid father and son scene which if expanded, I would watch the prequel movie of. I think Paper Boi gets shortchanged, but thatâs just the nature of the story theyâre telling. In my opinion, Drax and Killmongerâs dad steals the show and itâs worth seeing because of them and who they could potentially be if they werenât alien types but were still just as badass.
Drink whenâŠ
Someone mentions The Rules
Anyone breaks The Rules
Callback to any previous line
They talk about the riots
Thereâs a flashback
Someone uses a future cellphone

The Drinking Game: Tag
Published on June 29, 2018, by Ailish Elzy.
Tag is like Game Night meets Vacation, but with none of the character development. But for me, thatâs perfect because it makes for the ideal drinking game since there isnât that much to pay attention to. Itâs a silly movie inspired by a true story about a bunch of dudes who play tag. Thatâs it. Thatâs all there is. Thereâs no hidden love story. Thereâs no coming of age. There are no characters that develop. Itâs just a bunch of friends trying to tag their one friend whoâs never been tagged. That being said, there are some hilarious Sherlock Holmes inspired sequences and a killer performance by Isla Fischer. I think ridiculous wedding scenario movies might be her calling. When they inevitably remake The Hangover with an all-female cast, she needs to be Ed Helmsâs character.
Drink whenâŠ
There are Flashbacks
Whenever someone gets tagged
Slo motion
Thereâs a nut tap
Thereâs a butt punch
Chili smokes weed
âWhy didnât you say that in the first place?â
Ben Franklin Is quoted
The women are better at the game then the dudes

The Drinking Game: Set it Up
Published on June 29, 2018, by Ailish Elzy.Â
I really miss this kind of romantic comedy. One thatâs so unapologetically what it is. One of that kind that was so popular in the 90âs and early 00s that usually starred Sandra Bullock or Renee Zellweger. The kind where you knew exactly what was gonna happen beat by beat, but youâre still so invested anyway. As much as I love newness and variety in movies, sometimes itâs nice to take it back to a classic formula. Iâm not saying it works or it doesnât work, itâs still a rom-com so take it at face value. What I am saying is itâs a fun spin on something you probably already know and love. On paper it seems cool, two young white assistants get their overbearing bosses (who are successful people of color - shout out!) to start dating so their jobs will be easier. Of course, hilarity ensues, people make out, thereâs drinking and hijinks and all the best parts of a romantic comedy. Itâs a great flick to have a drink to!
Drink When
Taye Diggs and his hetero-normativity (ass man, bikini wax)

The Drinking Game | Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom
Published on June 22, 2018, by Ailish Elzy.
Ah Yes, the reboot sequel. A quintessentially perfect summer movie and what our cinema-going experience will be for the rest of our lives.
I just gotta say this up front, this is not a good movie in terms of story. Of all the Michael Crichton future theme park content you could be watching, youâre better off binging Westworld. The cinematography is cool, the dinos look p dope, the green screen acting is on point and thereâs a great Spielbergian oner that takes place underwater. But story-wise major facepalm emoji. Almost nothing makes sense, itâs very predictable and everyone whoâs been in a Jurassic Park movie before is doing a lot of the same (looking at you BD Wong). It really left me wondering, how many reasons and excuses can they create to bring people back to dino island? The answer is five as youâll see in the post-credit scene where the movie will finally live up to its name and itâll be a true Jurassic World.
If you wanted to see this for Jeff Goldblum please turn around and do not pass go. Youâve seen all two of his scenes in the trailers. Honestly, the three best parts of this movie are aggressively underused; Goldblum, the insane water dino and breakout star and best screamer, Franklin. He gets a lot of scenes and lines, but heâs also the voice of the audience asking the smart questions like âwhy am I here?â and âhow is this better than a T. Rex?â Of all the gap tooth, bespectacled ethnics they added to this movie for diversity, heâs the best.
You donât really need to see this movie. But if you do end up seeing it, do yourself a favor and play this drinking game.
Drink when...
A ladder doesnât do itâs one job right
Blatant product placement (Goodyear, Budweiser, Becks)
Franklin talks about T. rex
Lil granddaughter girl is creepin in the shadows
Franklin screams
You guys look, Bryce isnât in heels this time!

The Drinking Game: Oceanâs 8
Published on June 19, 2018, by Ailish Elzy.
Or as others might call it, Gravity 2 because Sandra Bullock still doesnât need George Clooneyâs help. She can land a spaceship and steal over $100 million worth of jewels without his help thank you very much. The biggest thing I learned from this movie is that when Sandra Bullock says sheâs gonna do something SHEâS GONNA FUCKING DO IT! Donât sleep on Sandy! Also, donât sleep on women because bitches really do get stuff done. This movie proves it.
Itâs the story of a heist and bunch of smart ladies. There are no love interests, just a ton of amazing outfits and all of these actresses playing their peak character. Theyâre all a heightened version of what we know and love them as. Rihanna is a badass blunt smoking hacker, Anne Hathaway is a ditsy actress, Mindy is a celebrity-obsessed talented jeweler. It all works, the characters and the heist. Â Honestly, if you had 5 years to plan a heist, wouldnât you be able to plan it out perfectly?
Drink When
We meet a member of the crew
Someone mentions Danny Ocean
Anna Wintour shows up
Daphneâs cleavage is a thing
Celeb cameo
9 Ball smokes weed
Someone is chewing gum

Weekly Watch | June 18, 2018
Published on June 18, 2018, by Ailish Elzy.
This week I have a weird hodgepodge of tv shows, news shows, movies and web series because itâs the summer and all the rules are gone!
Queer Eye
You ready to cry, bitches?
Iâm not even joking, I promise you if you cried in the first season you will cry THREE mins into the first episode of this season. They really know how to get you!! I donât think This show lost any of its mojo probably due to the fact that the first season only premiered earlier this year. They know who they are and also what their audience wants. If you liked season one thereâs literally no reason you shouldnât also watch season two!
Watch it on Netflix
Hereditary
You ready to be terrified?
Holy shit this movie is a WILD ride!! Seriously. In the interest of not giving away anything, I will tell you two things. One: pay attention to the mise en scene (thatâs film talk for things on screen like props, setting or dĂ©cor,) but more specifically the miniature models the mom makes because they tell a whole story. Two, this movie is highly worth seeing even if scary movies arenât your deal (which they arenât for me). It weaves in a lot of different horror genres and sub-genres so it feels like something youâve seen before, but at the same time like something totally new.
Catch it in theaters!
Viceâs Capitalism series on Youtube
You ready to learn?!
I donât know how I stumbled on this series, but Iâm glad I did. This series on YouTube is all about different ways people contribute to capitalism. The host, Meg Charlton, visits people who live in a cooperative living community (like a chill cult) and two Instagram influencers who live out of their van (mostly for the likes). Itâs really interesting and youâll learn a lot. Mostly that generally white dudes are the ones who are trying to escape capitalism, or at least those are the only people Vice could find. Either way, itâs really interesting!
Watch it here
Kimmy Schmidt
You ready to laugh?
Itâs a short season, but itâs still jam-packed with jokes. This season is aggressively feminist which I LOVE, but there is one episode that doesnât need to be in it. For the plot development and just in general. Itâs like in Stranger Things when they follow Eleven to Chicago, just a waste of an episode. Titus is still the star of the show, Jacqueline is still super white and Lilian isnât actually as annoying as in past season. There are some great guest stars (Greg Kinnear and Busy Phillips to name a few) The worst part is itâs only half a season.
Watch it on Netflix
The Break with Michelle Wolf
You ready toâŠI got nothing.Â
This show is dope! Plain and simple. I love how different and unique each of the female-hosted talk shows are. Theyâre really tailored to each individual and Michelle Wolf is no exception. She had hilarious fake commercials or sketches in between segments, a great DJ and has had some hilarious guests so far. Itâs pretty early on, but Iâm excited to see how this show continues!
Watch it on Netflix

Weekly Watch SPECIAL EDITION: Food Shows
Published on June 18, 2018, by Ailish Elzy.
I wanted to write this food show edition of Weekly Watch for a little while
now and was taking my time with it so I could watch all the shows and get a real feel for what to suggest. And then Anthony Bourdain died and it made me think about these shows more seriously.
Weâve always had the Food Network and the Cooking Channel, but weâve
recently had an upsurge in the quality of these shows and I really think you can
trace it back to Bourdain. Whether you were an early fan of Parts Unknown or No Reservations or you just recently got into Chefâs Table or Ugly Delicious, you have Bourdain to thank for that.
Thereâs a lot that has been written in the past week and will continue to be
written about in the years to come because Bourdain had a profound impact on the food industry, on the food documentary and on how we see different parts of the world. I only recently got into his shows in the past three years, but I very quickly fell in love with his passion, his sense of adventure and his honesty. He was an incredibly inspiring and fascinating dude to watch.
Iâm not here to talk about him in depth, mostly because I donât feel like thatâs
my place. I want to talk about the impact Iâve seen on food television because of him and his legacy. This will be a slightly different Weekly Watch. Itâll all be food shows I love and recommend watching because this is a large umbrella of a genre thatâs worth exploring.
The real reason I wanted to write this in the first place was that I recently
acquired two new books. One about Wine called Wine. All The Time by comedy
writer and leisure enthusiast Marissa A Ross. A book I highly recommend no matter how much or how little you know about wine (I know very little). The other book I acquired was Cravings by supermodel and well-known internet person Chrissy Teigen. Both books are very dope and enjoyable in different ways.
Since Iâve been reading them, Iâve subsequently stopped watching scripted
shows and fallen down a very enjoyable hole of watching shows about food and wine. Itâs really hard to watch these shows and not immediately think youâre a talented chef yourself. Shows about food and cooking are highly underrated in my opinion. Itâs not just your momâs Food Network anymore either, it has really expanded.
Iâm sure youâve noticed the influx of well-produced food-related
documentaries on Netflix or channels expanding on their brand and adding a
food show. Itâs not even just on TV. YouTube holds some very well produced
fooding shows (which is what I feel like we should be calling them) from channels like Tastemade or Bon Appetit as well as homemade shows by regular-ass kids.
I gotta say I am totally here for this! Food shows are a wonderful break
from scripted TV. You can throw them on in the background when youâre
cleaning but you can also sit and watch them like you would any other show. You can even watch them when youâre cooking, although you might feel inferior
depending on if youâre watching Chefâs Table and if thatâs the case, maybe just
throw on Nailed It when youâre making food to feel a little better about yourself. I will say the one place I donât recommend watching these shows is at the gym. It should be pretty obvious, but I thought I could handle it and then immediately
got SO hungry and had to make a pizza.Â
If you need it, here are some shows I recommend, where you can find them and a solid episode you can start with if youâre unsure.
Nailed it
Why itâs good: This show is almost everything Iâve ever wanted a competition
cooking show to be. Itâs silly, itâs realistic, itâs short, and they win money. The premise is home cooks try to recreate all those things you see on Pinterest with people making cakes that look like emojiâs or Spongebob. Nicole Byer, the host, is EASILY the best part and really the only reason to watch it!Â
A dope episode to start with: Honestly the first one. The episodes are short and youâll get right into the vibe of it.Â
Where you can watch it: Netflix babyyy!! Also they just got renewed for season 2
Chefâs Table: Pastry
Why itâs good: If you love high quality docu-series AND food, youâll love this. Itâs got that cinematic quality goodness mixed with a really heartwarming story about someone trying to achieve their dreams. They really do a good job of weaving a narrative into these peopleâs stories of success.
A dope episode to start with: Milk Bar. Itâs fun, itâs really American, and it shows you a very approachable way to cook delicious and simple desserts.
Where you can watch it: Netflix duh!
Bonus: Pastry is the fourth season, the other three seasons focus on non-pastry foods, or what they call in the biz, food. Thereâs a fantastic episode about Nancy Silverton (season 3 episode 3) that has such a great dramatic arc it really seems more like a narrative show than a documentary.
Ugly Delicious
Why itâs good: I was particularly drawn to this series because they focus on one type of food per episode. And they really know how to get you. Episode titles include: Pizza, Tacos, Stuffed and Fried Chicken. Honestly, unless youâre a vegan, whatâs not to like? They take you all around the world. They eat the highest quality, the lowest quality (usually fast food) the weirdest and the least expected versions of whichever food theyâre profiling. Youâre definitely going to learn something new about a food youâve loved. The style of this show is also particularly cool. Theyâll do a parody genre, or have a section just be animated. They really have fun with it which makes you as a viewer have fun with it!
A dope episode to start with: Iâd say pick whichever food you like the most and go from there.
Where you can watch it: Netflix (obviously!!)
Frankie Cooks
Why itâs good: If youâre into Italian home cooking, but youâre a little intimidated, BUT you also want to learn about why youâre supposed to do the things you do while cooking, Frankie is your dude! His hyper-enthusiastic personality will draw you in, but his pasta knowledge will keep you coming back for more. Iâm a HUGE fan of pizza and pasta and have had many of his meals made for me by my boyfriend who is both obsessed with his videos and the one who introduced me toÂ
A dope episode to start with: As will become clear with a lot of these, itâs best to find the food you want to learn more about and start with that, but the one that got me into Frankie was this video.
Where you can watch it: Youtube, baby! Hereâs his personal channel and hereâs where you can find him on Tastemade.
Good Times with Jen
Why itâs good: Another Tastemade person! Jen is such a delight. She specializes in Filipina food and comfort foods that are easy to recreate at home. Her personality is fun and authentic which can be really rare with these kinds of videos (trust me, I watched a lot). She has a lot of great videos of her getting stoned and making or attempting to make food which is so fun to watch. But I really love her videos because I feel like I learn more about Filipino food and theyâre actually dishes I can eat and enjoy (Iâm allergic to a lot of foods).
A dope episode to start with: A funny video to start with is this one, but a good food video is this Filipino bacon recipe.
Where you can watch it: On Tastemadeâs youtube!! Or just follow those links.
Huangâs World
Why itâs good: I think this was the first cooking show on vice that I ever watched and I really loved it. I was REALLY apprehensive about vice show at first, especially shows about food. I guess I just didnât trust that they knew what they were talking about. Boy, was I proven the fuck wrong. Eddie is a fucking G. He really knows his shit, but heâs also really open to learning about the culture where heâs visiting. I think thatâs what I enjoy most, how open and respectful he is about where he is. The food they eat is also really great.
A dope episode to start with: I personally loved the episode in Japan.
Where you can watch it: Viceland! (Either Youtube or on cable I guess)
F*ck Thatâs Delicious
Why itâs good: This is the type of show I actually expected from Viceland.
Something raw, lots of cussing, smoking weed and just eating a bunch of food. This show is really all over the place. Itâs hard to describe, but thatâs also why itâs so fun.
A dope episode to start with: A while back The New Yorker had a great write up about a specific episode which is a really solid one to start with to get a feel for what this show is all about.
Where you can watch it: Viceland probably or maybe on YouTube.
Parts Unknown
I would be remiss if I did not include an Anthony Bourdain show on this list.
There are so many good episodes and theyâre all good for their own reasons. One of my favorite episodes is Season 8 episode two called Hanoi. This is the episode where he famously interviewed Barack Obama. My other favorite episode is Season 6 Episode 5 titled Bay Area. Because If Bourdain goes to Oakland, I obviously have to know where and what he ate. I was not disappointed!
I will say that the best way to watch Parts Unknown is to go through the
seasons and find either the closest place to where youâre from or the most
interesting sounding place youâve always wanted to visit. Whether you know the
place well or you donât know it at all youâre bound to learn a lot of new information.

The Drinking Game | Solo: A Star Wars Story
Published on June 7, 2018, by Ailish Elzy.
I hate spoiling big movies like this. Especially because people have really intense feelings about franchise films. Like really intense. Also, these are the movies you should go into knowing as little as possible so youâre surprised and delighted and your opinion wasnât influenced by some reviewerâs.
But thatâs just my opinion. If you want a review, you can go literally anywhere else. If you want a dope drinking game I got you!!
Drinking Game
DrinkâŠ
When something happens that makes you say âOooooh thatâs how they metâ or âThatâs how he got thatâ âor âThatâs why thatâs his nameâ
When Han tells people heâs a pilot
When you meet a new robot
When Lando mispronounces Han
When you hear a different language

How to Pack for the Movies
Published on June 6, 2018, By Ailish Elzy.
The summer movie season is upon us.Â
Or has it been upon us for a while now? Iâve heard the summer movies season starts in April now. Or maybe even February? Regardless, school is out, blockbusters are coming and if you wanna stay relevant you gotta get your ass to the theater. Personally, I like to have a good time at the movies, but also, Iâm broke as hell so there are specific things I pack when I go. If you wanna turn up or maybe play a drinking game, hereâs what you should bring.
A Canvas Shopping Bag
But like a cute one. Like the one you get from your New Yorker subscription or one of the cheap ones you get in the check out at Forever 21. At some theaters, theyâre getting real strict about what you can and canât bring. They hate backpacks and giant purses, but totes theyâre chill with. Totes are honestly pretty discreet and the perf size to fit all your snacks/ beer/ wine without looking too bulky or like youâre trying to sneak in a small baby.
Movie Pass
Unless youâre going to Arclight or another theater that hates movie pass with the rage of a thousand suns, this is a must. Also, donât forget your phone (for the corresponding app). Pro tip: always go straight to the machines to get your ticket. Itâs so much faster, plus less human interaction cause thatâs not why you went to the movies. If you wanted to talk to more humans you would have sat at the bar at the Islands below the theater.
Beer/ Wine
I love a good drinking game so I always bring booze to the movies. 12 ounce cans of beer are solid, just open them at the right scenes or helicopter moments. Trader Joeâs also makes these delicious wines in a can which are perfect for movies. The juice box wines you can get from Target are a good alternative as well. Fair warning: theyâre like three glasses of wine and if you finish it all in a sad movie, youâre very likely to cry. If you got a dope bottle of wine you wanna bring to the theater, donât bring the actual bottle (that should be obvious) but just put it in a coffee thermos and bring it in that way.
Snacks
I fucking HATE paying $4 for Reeseâs I know I can get for 2 for $1 at the Ralphs on the corner so I always bring my own snacks. Usually, a birthday cake bar from Trader Joeâs, some grapes or blueberries if Iâm feeling healthy. I donât suggest anything with a big smell like that time I thought it was chill to bring steamed broccoli and rice to a documentary. Use airplane rules. Also, whole apples are pretty shit for the movies. Theyâre loud as hell, you have to eat it all at once and you get so much juice on your hands. Bring what you like, but my advice is small and with a quiet packaging so youâre not spending the romantic moments digging through the bottom of a family sized bag of Doritos.
Honestly, you really donât need that much to have a good time at the movies, just a few key necessities. Now an outdoor movie? Thatâs a whole different ball game and Iâll cover that in a later blog.
