Movie MixologyQueen Elizabeth inspired by Quantum of Solace (2008)This week, @momixpod mixes The Queen Elizabeth Cocktail, inspired by 2008’s "Quantum of Solace." While the hosts point out that Casino Royale’s sequel is anything but classy, they certainly agree that Dame Judi Dench is the true royal inspiration behind this week’s episode. As they sip their tart drinks, Pat and Marissa discuss why Quantum sticks out as a disappointing moment in an otherwise exceptional Craig-era run. Will the hosts ever be able to put their bitter feelings and comparisons to Casino Royale aside? Will their biases allow them to give Quantum a fair shake? Listen...
