On Cue
It's Oscar Week!
PLEASE NOTE! Trish makes a few pretty gnarly errors in this week's episode. Sorry about the inaccuracies, and thanks for understanding!
With the Academy Awards coming up this Sunday, we're dishing on the Oscars-- past, present and imaginary. We dream of categories we wish existed, stars we fantasize about hanging out with, and awards we'd personally like to present. We also discuss the greatest scandals in Oscar history and the movies didn't deserve to win best picture.
Also, this week, Liz's favorite thing is Divvy Up Socks.
We love hearing from you! Got a question or topic for discussion in a future episode? Please email us or send a voice memo to hello@oncuepodcast.com.

This week's cocktail or mocktail-- THE AFTER-PARTY:
For the chai syrup, you can buy it or make your own:
Boil 1 quart of water with 2 cups of agave syrup, 2 tbsp allspice, 1 tbsp black pepper, 1 tbsp white pepper, ½ cardamom, ½ whole cloves, 1½ tbsp vanilla, 10 whole star anise, 10 cinnamon sticks, a medium-sized chopped fresh ginger root. Simmer for 10 minutes, then strain into a jar and set aside to cool before storing in fridge.
For the cocktail:
1½ oz mezcal (for mocktail, use 2 oz ginger ale or non-alc tequila alternative plus three drops of liquid smoke)
½ oz tequila blanca (skip for mocktail)
1 oz fresh lime juice
3⁄4 oz chai syrup
Shake all ingredients over ice then strain into a glamorous glass and garnish with lime or a dried chili pepper.
