Happy New Year! We hope you had a great holiday season and are ready to kick 2024's ass. We're kicking off the new year with Peter Jackson's (yes, THAT Peter Jackson) first feature-length project, a good tasting bit of "splat-stick" comedy/sci-fi about aliens who have some to Earth to find ingredients for a fast food chain...the man-meat kind thing. This one is very well-done, especially when you consider the shoe-string budget, lack of a script, and that all the props were homemade. Plenty of blood and guts, and the 80s vibes pair well with the #NewZealand backdrop. Bad Taste final grade: Steve - Top Shelf Brandon - Top Shelf Cocktail of the Week: Green Goddess 2 oz Gin 1/2 oz Elderflower liqueur1/2 oz simple syrup3/4 oz fresh-squeezed lime juice1 kiwi-------Muddle kiwi with simple syrup in a cocktail shaker. Add the remaining ingredients, then shake over ice to chill. Pour, do not strain, contents into a high all glass. Top with club soda and garnish with kiwi slice. Notes about this episode: This movie was filmed on the weekends over a three/four-year period. You've gotta commend those hard-working Kiwis for sticking with a project like that. Migration is the South Pacific was really incredible. The Maori people, and other Austronesian peoples were doing shit Christopher Columbus could only dream off 500-1,000 years before him. The nickname "Kiwi" for New Zealanders is derived from the bird, not the fruit.
