Apricot Marmalade and the Edmondson Transmittal requires a certain kind of afternoon — a quiet one, because you will definitely laugh out loud at points and you’ll want the space to do it without explanation.
Lon Orey’s Vietnam-era satire follows a US Army Military Intelligence unit in Bangkok that is, shall we say, not excelling at its mission. Colonel Morgan is the least spy-like spy in the history of the genre. Trooper Cooper thinks he has every disease discussed in his presence. It’s glorious.
This is Catch-22 energy for people who like their absurdism sunny-side up. Pair with something Vietnamese-inspired and your best afternoon light.
