Troop Beverly Hills
I am so glad to cover this film, especially with all the talk about a long awaited sequel. Hopefully the sequel will not disappoint. Sadly this film isn't streaming anywhere, but it is available for rent or to buy on several platforms. You could also probably get a copy on Amazon or eBay if you wanted an actual disc to watch over and over. With her marriage breaking up, Beverly Hills housewife Phyllis Nefler boosts her self-esteem by leading a local troop of Wilderness Girls. Although Phyllis' version of roughing it is spending the night at the Beverly Hills Hotel, that suits her privileged troop members just fine. Unfortunately, when Phyllis falls afoul of a rival leader, the girls are threatened with having their group dissolved -- unless they can prove their wilderness skills at the annual jamboree. Thin Mint Martini (cinemasips.com): Ingredients Chocolate Syrup Crushed Thin Mints 1 oz peppermint schnapps 2 oz white chocolate liqueur 2 oz half-and-half Directions To prepare glass, rim the edge in chocolate syrup, then dip in crushed thin mints. Swirl additional syrup around inside of the glass. Place in freezer for 10 minutes to chill. Mix remaining ingredients together in a cocktail shaker with ice. Pour into prepared glass. Drinking Game: One sip when... Phyllis says the word "wilderness" or "girls." Someone mentions Beverly Hills or Rodeo Drive. You see an over-the-top designer outfit or couture uniform. A high-end luxury car or limousine appears on screen. you there is a cameo or you recognize an actor. there is smoking. a new patch is earned. Two sips when... A matching, customized designer camping accessory is revealed. Velda Plendor glares or acts malicious. The girls break into an impromptu song or chant. Velda is called "Sir". Finish your drink when... The iconic cookie-selling rap/dance-off happens at the grand finale. As always, drink responsibly and with others. Follow and subscribe wherever you listen to the podcast.
