Ahoy, squirts! Quint here, with a little jaunt over to the right side of the page to give you folks the heads up on IFC's badass show, Dinner For Five. Tonight's episode stars Carrie Fisher, Blair Underwood, Ed Asner, Ed Begley Jr. and, of course, host Jon Favreau.  

I've seen the first 5 episodes of this season and tonight's episode is not only my favorite of this season, but my favorite D45 of the entire run. Mainly due to Ms. Carrie Fisher. She is hysterical in this episode talking about taking drugs with John Belushi and Dan Aykroyd, checking out of a mental institution just in time to throw her famous birthday parties, which had such decorations as cardboard standees of Princess Leia's all over the house with bloody IV drips attached to their arms. Carrie Fisher has an amazing sense of humor and is hilarious throughout the whole episode.  

Then you have Ed Asner yelling out at random shit like: "Haven't you always wondered about cats and dogs smelling each other's asses?" With Ms. Fisher quickly responding with: "It keeps me up at night! What? Wha...." Asner also reveals his life long desire to fellate himself, once again totally out of the blue.  

Ed Begley Jr. pipes up with some pretty amazing John Belushi stories and at one point late in the episode it's just Begley and Carrie Fisher trading Belushi stories, which involve copious amounts of cocaine, acid, pot and, of course, Fatburger. Blair Underwood is pretty much the only one who doesn't get any major great moments, but he does talk a bit about FULL FRONTAL.  

If you only see one episode of Dinner For Five this season, see this one. It's a blast. I wish I could tell you folks some more of Fisher's stories, but she does a far better job than I would. You lucky folks with IFC tune in tonight!  

I'll be back in the very near future, back here in the Coax. section with my in-depth review of Criterion's amazing FEAR AND LOATHING IN LAS VEGAS disc and back on the left side with some more Jon Favreau goodness. 'Til that day, this is Quint bidding you all a fond farewell and adieu.
