We headed to a spooky cabin in the woods for this year's annual company retreat and had to find the perfect movie/drink combo. So of course we settled on the 1982 slasher, The Slumber Party Massacre, and found the perfect punch to pair. This episode may be shorter, but it's full of tarot card readings, girls eating pizza off dead guys, and an update on why we're all so tired. Let's get sipping!
