Come and get it, listeners – Nick from Consequence of Sound comes back to continue our exploration of cinematic Beatles efforts with the strange, bizarre creature that is The Magic Christian! Based on a novel by Terry Southern, the film is a hippie-tastic, Pythonesque journey in which Peter Sellers’ obscenely rich social prankster adopts homeless Ringo Starr and takes him through one ham-fisted counterculture prank after another. The result is the kind of disjointed experimental film we saw a lot of in the 70s, but without any of the nuance or cleverness to ground it. Nonetheless, it’s a bizarrely entertaining watch, especially with our custom cocktail and drinking rules!

THIS EPISODE’S DRINK: Come and Get It
6 parts brandy
1 part ginger liqueur
splash, lemon juice
grilled pepper/pineapple syrup*
*TO MAKE SYRUP: Cut fresh pineapple and yellow bell pepper into slices and grill them on a grill pan to release their flavor. Run them through a juicer, then cook in a saucepan over a medium heat (adding 2-3 heaping tbsp of sugar) until reduced into a syrup.
Combine into a shaker over ice and pour straight into a martini glass. Garnish with bell pepper slice, grilled pineapple slice and pineapple leaves.
DRINKING RULES FOR THE MAGIC CHRISTIAN:
- Whenever Badfinger’s “Come and Get It” plays
- Every time Ringo actually gets a line
- Any time money is shown or exchanged
