Most unfortunate moment of the cup:
Ricky accepting a ludicrious dare to use Errol Morris’s terrible Dark Wind instead of one of his fine documentaries.

Most fortunate moment of the cup:
Ricky’s choice of Dark Wind leading to Kai’s contact with Tom “Huck” Caton and his delightful stories about the shooting conditions on the film and the poor boom operating abilities of Robert Redford’s drunk and out-of-control daughter.
