A cocktail everyone associates with Hawaii was actually invented in Oakland, and Richard Crouse has the recipe along with his verdict on the Moana live action remake. Before that, he digs into a Madonna song fans are convinced is about Sean Penn, and a horror movie built on a wish nobody can undo.

Madonna, Sean Penn and the Wish You Can Never Take Back
Crouse traces the lyrics in Madonna's new song Bizarre back to her marriage to Sean Penn, right down to the Shelby Cobra he recently auctioned for charity. He also unpacks Obsession, the low budget horror hit built entirely on the idea that some wishes cannot be walked back once made.

Mixing the Mai Tai and Reviewing Moana
Crouse traces the Mai Tai back to a bartender in Oakland long before it became Hawaii's signature drink, then walks through the exact recipe while reviewing the Moana live action remake and why it never quite earns its own existence.
