The Longest Yard: Game On with Cocktails & Classics!

Continuing with our theme of March Madness, this week, we tackle the original The Longest Yard. This Burt Reynolds-led movie is about an ex-football star sent to prison and assigned to create a football team of convicts in order to play a warmup game for the guards. This episode throws you into the prison yard for a hilarious huddle with The Longest Yard:

Clash of the Quarterbacks: Compare Burt Reynolds' iconic performance to Adam Sandler's comedic take in the remake. Which one scores a touchdown?
Ben's Stone Cold Stunner: Witness Ben unleash his inner "Cold Stone Steve Austin" with a side of movie commentary (spoiler alert: it's hilarious!).
Booze & Trivia Mayhem: Put your movie knowledge to the test with Zach's quirky liquor cabinet trivia - can you answer questions faster than the inmates down a shot?
Mix a "Longest Yard Shaken": Craft a potent cocktail inspired by the film's gritty tone (recipe included!).
