Drinking Builds Characters (Part 2) - With Marc Heuck

This week, we continue our discussion of drinks and cinema with the wonderful Marc Heuck! The discussion turns to how drinks can be used to establish setting, as well as characters. We talk about drinking and Tarantino, the Polynesian Pearl Diver and other elements of tiki culture that have crept into film, and much more!
