We’re back — perhaps not well-rested, but back — with two movies and special guest Mike Justice this Saturday at 8 PM EST.

Each week, we pick two films that you watch on the links we provide, but before and after we discuss the movies, show ad campaigns for them and make cocktails to go with each movie. Join us on the Groovy Doom Facebook and YouTube page to be part of the show.

But this week, we got something special.

This week, we’re doing one movie — Escape from the Bronx at 11 PM EST on the Groovy Doom Facebook and YouTube page. You can watch this movie on Tubi, The Roku Channel and YouTube.

You may want to watch 1990: The Bronx Warriors on Tubi to prepare yourself, but you don’t really need to. There’s nothing you need to know from that movie other than the fact that it’s awesome.

Each week, we show ads for the movies and share a drink recipe. Here’s what we’re drinking this week:

Bronx Apocalypse

• 3/4 oz. Southern Comfort
• 3/4 oz. vodka
• 1 oz. Peppermint Schnapps
• 1/2 oz. Kaluha
• 1 oz Creme de Menthe
• 1/2 oz. bourbon
• 2 oz. hot chocolate

1. Combine booze in a coffee mug.
2. Fill with hot chocolate and blow up your mind.

See you on Saturday.

I won’t be around this weekend — Becca’s father’s celebration of life is Saturday and family will be in nearly all week — but you should join Bill and GG Graham Bill and me this Saturday at 8 PM on the Groovy Doom Facebook and YouTube page!

Up first is the singular wonder that is Liquid Sky. You can watch that on YouTube.

Each week, we discuss each film, show an ad gallery and enjoy a drink themed to the movie. I may not be there to make this week’s drink, but perhaps you can make it yourself.

Liquid Sky (adapted from this recipe)

• 1 oz. Cointreau
• 1 oz. blue curacao
• 4 oz. lemonade
• 2 oz. club soda

1. Pour ingredients over ice in this order: Cointreau, cuacao, lemonade and then soda.
2. Stir and keep your eyes on the stars.

The second movie is Prey which is just as incredible. You can also watch that on YouTube.

Here’s the drink for the second movie.

Cocktail Ad Amityville Park (based on this recipe)

• 2 oz. gin
• 1/2 tsp. simple syrup
• 1/2 tsp. maraschino cherry juice
• 2 dashes orange bitters

1. Pour the gin, orange bitters, simple syrup and maraschino juice into a mixing glass half-filled with cracked ice.
2. Stir well and strain into a cocktail glass.

Enjoy the film! I’ll miss you all.

Join Bill and me this Saturday at a special time, 11 PM EST on the Groovy Doom Facebook and YouTube page for one movie. What a movie it is! 1983’s Strange Invaders — which you can watch on Tubi and YouTube.

Every week, before you watch the movie, we share the story of how it was made, why it’s important and the ad campaign behind the film. Plus, each movie gets a themed cocktail. Here’s this week’s drink.

Blue Orb (adapted from this recipe)

• 1 oz. blueberry vodka (or you can use regular vodka)
• 1 oz. Malibu rum
• 2 oz. pomegranate rum
• 2 oz. pineapple juice

This week, Bill Van Ryn, G.G. Graham and I will be taking you on a tour of Italy — comic book style — with two absolutely gorgeous movies starting at Saturday at 8 PM EST on the Groovy Doom Facebook and YouTube pages.

Up first is Mario Bava’s Danger: Diabolik, which I feel is the best comic book movie ever made. You can watch it on YouTube.

If you’ve never watched our show, you’ll be excited to know that we discuss the movies, show an ad gallery for each of the two films and make a special drink for each one. Please drink responsibly.

Eva Kant (from this recipe)

• 1.5 oz. tequila
• 1 oz. amaretto
• 1 tbsp. lemon juice
• 1 tbsp. lime juice
• 1 tbsp. kosher salt
• 1 tbsp. sugar

1. Rim your glass before you mix this. It helps to use a lemon to wet the edge, then dip into the salt and sugar mix on a plate.
2. Place the drink ingredients in a shaker with ice and strain into your rimmed glass.

Our second movie is Baba Yaga, a film I never thought we would show and one I couldn’t be happier about. You can watch it on YouTube.

Baba Yaga (from this recipe)

• .5 oz. vodka
• .5 oz. Chambord
• .5 oz. Midori
• .25 cup sweet and sour mix
• 1 oz. club soda
• Splash grenadine
• Splash lime juice

1. Fill a glass with ice, then pour in the vodka, Chambord, Midori and lime juice.
2. Add sweet and sour mix, then top off with club soda and add grenadine to taste.
