Hitting All the High Notes:

This week on Cocktails & Classics, we raise a glass to Damien Chazelle's electrifying 2014 film, Whiplash. Prepare to be captivated by the story of Andrew Neyman, a drumming prodigy pushed to his limits by the tyrannical instructor Terence Fletcher.

Unwinding the Maestro's Mayhem:

    Fletcher's Fury: J.K. Simmons' Oscar-winning performance as Fletcher is pure fire. We dissect his scene-stealing moments and analyze the chilling methods behind his mentorship.
  • Tense Trio?: Is Whiplash just another stressful film like Uncut Gems and Shiva Baby? We explore the similarities and differences in these high-wire cinematic experiences.
  • Jazz with Jazz Hands: Dylan argues that Whiplash is the sexy movie Jazz desperately needed. Get ready for a passionate discussion about music, passion, and the dark side of artistic pursuit.

Southside Rhythm:

Complete your Whiplash experience with the refreshing Southside cocktail, a mix of gin, mint, lemon, and simple syrup. It's cool, crisp, and just the right kick to unwind after Andrew's intense journey.

This week we're sipping on the ⁠Southside cocktail⁠:

5 mint leaves

1 ounce lemon juice, freshly squeezed

⁠2 ounces gin ⁠⁠(Caskers)⁠⁠⁠
