We may be cinefiles here at American Pulps but we also really like a good bad movie. In college I used to get drunk and watch Chuck Norris or Steven Segal movies with my friends. I must have seen Lone Wolf McQuade about 4 times, but I can’t tell you how it ends. I just remember… Continue reading Miami Connection: The Best Worst Movie of all time

Musso & Frank Grill
Located at 6667 Hollywood Blvd. Musso & Frank is a classic spot you should at least order a drink at if you’re in town. The Italian Steakhouse was established in 1919 and is probably the oldest establishment in Hollywood. Since then it’s seen it’s share of Hollywood clientele. The back room of Musso & Frank… Continue reading Musso & Frank Grill
The Roosevelt Hotel
The Roosevelt Hotel is a pretty cool spot, they’ve got multiple bars and it doesn’t get too packed. Being built in 1926, it’s also steeped in history. For Los Angeles standards 1926 is ancient. The first ever Academy Awards was held here and Marylin Monroe lived here for a while as well. Movies that were… Continue reading The Roosevelt Hotel
Jumbo’s Clown Room
It’s probably the best Clown Room in Los Angeles, definitely the best Clown Room in Thai Town. The best way to describe this Hollywood Institution is Burlesque Suicide Girls doing Cirque du Soleil style acrobatics on a stripper pole to music that ranges from Bowie to Rage Against the Machine. The girls pick their music… Continue reading Jumbo’s Clown Room
Drink Like A Character: Gin Rickey, The Great Gatsby (1925)

If you changed it up and… Continue reading Drink Like A Character: Gin Rickey, The Great Gatsby (1925)
Drink Like A Character: The Vesper Martini – James Bond (1953)
“Three measures of Gordon’s, one of vodka, half a measure of Kina Lillet. Shake it very well until it’s ice-cold, then add a large thin slice of lemon-peel. Got it?”– James Bond, Casino Royale (1953) Unfortunately you can’t make a proper Vesper Martini because they don’t make Kina Lillet anymore. You’d have to settle for… Continue reading Drink Like A Character: The Vesper Martini – James Bond (1953)
The art of Mad Men, a moving McGinnis painting
OK, we love Mad Men. It’s a classic TV show with very rich, well written characters set in a time period that we at American Pulps are very much into. I can’t say much about the show that hasn’t already been said. It’s been off the air for three years now and it’s been picked… Continue reading The art of Mad Men, a moving McGinnis painting
