TCM with a Twist
@tcmwithatwist.bsky.social
Bringing the drinks to #TCMParty. Cocktail recipes/history. Also jazz, dogs and whatever else distracts from these trying times. And yes, politics bc the moment calls for it (1. Not affiliated with TCM, just a fan. 2. We sip to savor, drink sparingly.)
Took 'em long enuf but the NYT finally called something by its real name.

The Offer (tv miniseries about the making of 'The Godfather') has a great scene where Robert Evans (a fantastic Matthew Goode!) initially dismisses "Chinatown" saying "you mean that winning box office combination of incest and water rights?" #Chinatown #TCMParty
