The year is 1985: Martin Scorsese hasn’t made Marvel fans upset yet and directs the neo-noir cult classic After Hours. But what do our late night-loving commentators, Vicky Van, Jason Dedrick and Eric Fell remember about this journey into SoHo? Do they say, “On no”? In keeping with the after hours theme, they’ll be snacking on donuts from a local 24 hour cafe. They also create a tribute drink called the Surrender Dorothy. Here’s how to make it: Make a strong cup of black coffee. (You’re going to be up for a while.) Add a spoonful of icing sugar To this add one or two ounces of Bourbon The producer’s wife said it was “Good”. “Very Scorsese” and “Reminds me of a diner in a Greyhound station.” If you make a Surrender Dorothy or, better yet, make up one of your own, please send a picture to sneakyd@sneakydragon.com by following this link! Even if you don’t, we’d still love to hear from you. Also let us know what you think of the show and if you have any suggestions for future films.
