What a great evening! Kiwi director, Taika Waititi, delighted our MovieNight audience once more this season with What We Do in the Shadows (he more recently directed the hysterical Hunt for the Wilderpeople which we screened in November). This time, he appeared in the movie, along with co-director Jemaine Clement (yes… he of Flight of the Conchords!), and magic ensued. Funny. Smart. Funny.

For the second week in a row, Mr. Whitehouse (no, not that guy… this one is intelligent) was called upon to produce an evening-ending round of Sazerac cocktails. This time, he came armed with a bottle of Peychaud’s bitters, an essential ingredient apparently. In fact, Whitehouse refused to refer to last week’s version as a Sazerac at all. He dubbed it a “Sanserac”, the “Sans” part of that eluded to the missing bitters. Yup… this is MovieNight at its finest.

Thanks to Elf for bringing this to my attention in the first place.
