Friday night. Started strong with my partner in life over a plate of chicken wings that hit the spot like a roundhouse from Chuck Norris in a cowboy flick. After dinner, we looked at each other and said what any fun-loving couple would say--"Let's catch a flick."
We landed a 10 PM showing of Bring Her Back. I'm a sucker for A24. They don't play it safe. No cookie-cutter garbage. They create stuff that sits with you, stews in your gut, and occasionally whispers to you when you're brushing your teeth three days later.
But let's back up. We pulled in a whole hour early because, let's face it, where else should one be on a Friday night besides the bar top at Flix Brewhouse?
Me? Two Nacho Libre's, no hesitation. The lady ordered the Lilo and Stitch Special--Experiment 626. Bartender took the liberty to remix it into an adult version, and you know what? Fair play. It was fantastic. Light, punchy, tropical. Just like her.
Movie trailers rolled in before the feature, as always, perfectly tailored to the mood. Not your usual Hollywood noise. Flix curates. They get it.
Halfway through the film, in the midst of cinematic madness, we locked eyes and had a moment of shared clarity. "Doughnut holes?"
Doughnut holes, my friends. Came with strawberry and chocolate dipping sauce. What a closer. Sweet, rich, borderline sinful.
Caught a proper buzz, soaked in a top-notch movie, and never once felt like the place dropped the ball. Clean theater, quick service, and vibes for days.
This is how you do Friday.
