I tell you: what bottle is actually on their bar cart. Bacardi in “Scrooged” and Myers’s in coffee in “Replay” are the sort of mismatches that pull booze nerds right out of the story. 000

Mage Lanz @magelanz.bsky.social · 20/04/2025It’s always difficult for me to celebrate after finishing a script. Partly because I know it’s not really done ‘til the credits roll.
