The Kick

House drink · makes one · zero-proof

  1. Fill a tall glass with ice
  2. 4 oz chilled tonic water
  3. 1 shot espresso, poured slowly over the back of a spoon so it layers
  4. Wide strip of orange peel, twisted over the top
  5. Drink it before the layers settle

"Dreams feel real while we're in them."

After eight: same drink, decaf. You are going to want to sleep tonight, and this film has opinions about that.

House rules

Non-negotiable, mostly

  • Phones face down from the first frame to the credits
  • No explaining the plot to whoever is lost — that is what the credits are for
  • Questions get written down and asked after
  • Whoever brought the least food keeps the ice topped up
  • The host picks the seat; everyone else picks a chair

Dream bingo

First to five takes the last truffle

  • Someone checks a totem
  • The score drops an octave and the room shakes
  • Somebody in our room whispers "wait, what?"
  • A rule of physics is quietly ignored
  • Cobb gets good advice and does the other thing
  • Someone says "dream" twice in one sentence
