Now that the holidays are over, it’s time for the real reason for the season – Connickuh!
Every year, we celebrate the life and works of Sir Harry Connick, Jr., he of the golden voice and chiseled jaw. This year, our old friend Derek Jarvis comes on the show to harken back to the 1940s with the Frankie Muniz boy-and-his-dog movie My Dog Skip!
Based on the memoir by William Morris, My Dog Skip follows young Willie (Frankie Muniz, voiced by Connick as an adult) growing up in the 40s with his adorable Jack Russell Terrier Skip. Along the way, he finds love, becomes a man, and defeats some moonshiners! (?) It’s basically Tree of Life with a cute pupper instead of dinosaurs – what’s not to love?
Check out our podcast, drinking game and custom cocktail below!
(Thanks to our sponsor Simplecast as part of the Chicago Podcast Coop!)
DRINKING RULES FOR MY DOG SKIP:
- Any time Harry Connick Jr. pipes in with his smooth narration
- Every time the film focuses on the cute stuff Skip does
- Whenever the film starts teaching you an overt life lesson, whether through Connick’s narration or parental advice
FINISH YOUR DRINK WHEN:
Frankie Muniz tearfully says, “I’ll never have another friend like you, ever!”
We’re taking a little hiatus in January, but worry not – we’ll be back in February with some cool new changes, better than ever. Have a Happy New Year, and go Saints!
