This week on Cocktail Nation, we’re stepping into the shadows with a little international intrigue as SpyVibe takes us deep into the strange and stylish world of Branded to Kill — the legendary Japanese spy noir where assassins, mystery and surreal 1960s cool collide.

 

We’ll explore a lost cinematic gem, discover why tiki culture continues to make a triumphant comeback, and take a trip back to the days when advertising campaigns looked more like declarations of war — including Melbourne’s bizarre battle against a very dangerous enemy.

 

Plus, we’ll open the mailbag with a tiki dilemma, check out what’s happening in the world of swank, discover new sounds from Draculina

 

So pour yourself something sophisticated, dim the lights, and settle into another edition of Cocktail Nation.
