Are you watching closely? We sure hope so, because this week we're having a look at Christopher Nolan's The Prestige —a story about illusion and obsession, and the second film in our very first twofer pairing. Get ready for dueling magicians, doubles, diaries, and David Bowie as Nikola Tesla (yes, really). Join us for drinks, and let's see how this one stacks up against The Illusionist from last week.…
Step right up, ladies and gentlemen, and behold the mystery, the romance, and the ubiquity of beards! That's right, this week, we’re dusting off our velvet coats and heading back to 1900s Vienna for The Illusionist , where Edward Norton stares intensely, Paul Giamatti sweats dramatically, and Rufus Sewell continues his long career as cinema’s most type-cast and slappable aristocrat. You'll wanna pour from your finest decanter this week, because: A, it's classy, and B, it's what the Crown Prince does in the film. Now that matter of drinks has been addressed, get comfy and join us for this tale of love, trickery, and sepia-toned vengeance. No CGI here, folks—just smoke, mirrors, and some truly top-shelf facial hair.…
This week, it's Zack Snyder’s Sucker Punch —a genre-blending, brain-bending curio that’s part music video, part action fantasy, and somehow also an existential metaphor? Whatever it is, we've got drinks in hand and thoughts ready to share, so pour something bold—something with more flash than flavor may be appropriate—and join us!…
This week, it's Capote —Bennett Miller’s chilling, quiet portrait of literary legend Truman Capote during the writing of In Cold Blood . Naturally, we recommend a gin and tonic this round—heavy on the gin with no more than a whisper of the tonic, Capote-style—as we follow him from high society soirées in New York to the stark plains of Kansas. It’s gripping, unsettling, and just a little fabulous. Join us as we unpack the brilliance, the manipulation, and the very blurry lines between writer and subject.…
In space, no one can hear you scream—but down here, Ridley Scott’s Alien has us chatting up a storm. This 1979 sci-fi horror gem oozes tension, drips atmosphere, and flexes some of the finest practical effects ever put to film. No CGI—just sweat, slime, and old school Hollywood magic. They don’t make ’em like this anymore, folks.…
This week, we go beyond our solar system—and beyond the limits of human understanding—as we explore Christopher Nolan’s Interstellar . A profound meditation on time, sacrifice, and the unbreakable bonds of love, this 2014 film challenges us to consider what it means to fight for a future we may never see. Pour yourself something contemplative—perhaps a glass of red aged in oak—and join us for a look at this breathtaking cinema masterwork.…
This week, Longlegs —a 2024 horror-thriller that’ll have you running home to mommy and regretting that deep dive into true crime. With Nicolas Cage bringing the creep factor to eleven and enough nightmare fuel occult weirdness for the whole family, this one’s got plenty. So grab yourself something dark and obscure—maybe a black Manhattan or just straight bourbon (you’ll need it)—and join us.…
Passionate drive for excellence, or obsessive descent into madness? The lines blur in today's episode as we dive deep into Damien Chazelle's exhilarating 2014 feature, Whiplash . Take it from us—you're going to want a strong drink for this one!
In 2002, the Oakland Athletics transformed how baseball teams are built—and how the game is played. In today's episode, we're checking out the 2011 film about that unforgettable season and the A's historic disruption of America's pastime. Grab yourself a cold one (or two) from the guy selling 'em, and let's play ball! Moneyball.…
What do you get when you combine the plot of a late '80s DC comic about a dystopian, totalitarian England, a screenplay by the Wachowskis, and a modest budget of around 50 million bucks? Well, my fellow drinking companions and movie connoisseurs, you get a killer film called V For Vendetta , and we're getting into it on today's episode. I recommend drinks that pair well with revolution tonight as we "Remember, remember the 5th of November."…

Before Y2K, there was 1999—the year The Matrix dropped into theaters and blew everyone's mind. Nearly two decades later, it remains one of the best sci-fi flicks ever put out, and today, we're getting into it. Find yourself something to sip on, and let's light this candle.
This week, we’re going back in time and going to war. It’s Christopher Nolan’s 2017 WWII historical thriller, Dunkirk . This one is heavy, so drink something light. Whatever you choose, sit back and join us for this bloody epic.
It was the seventh crewed mission of the U.S. Apollo space program, and it's the topic of today's episode: it's Apollo 13 . Hitting theaters in the summer of '95, directed by the legendary Ron Howard, this true story of space survival will make you glad you decided to skip astronaut training and just watch the movie instead! Grab a beer and kick back with us as we get into this amazing space drama.…
Is it a heist? A reverse heist? No, it's Inception. And inception is the name of the game—and the movie deep dive of the episode. Grab something French to drink, and if you don't have that, just grab whatever you've got, because today we're going deep into this mind-bending exploration of the subconscious from famed director Christopher Nolan. Cheers!…
Everybody loves a good revenge story, and in today's episode, we're having a peek at one of the finest: The Count of Monte Cristo .

Pour yourself something that pairs with retribution—something appropriately cold and sweet—and join us.…
The year is 1987. The place? The City That Never Sleeps. Specifically, an apartment way more expensive than Paul Allen's. That's right, in today's episode, we're getting into the Y2K cult classic American Psycho , starring Bat Ma—I mean, Christian Bale. So put on your raincoat, make yourself a J&B straight up, or grab a Corona, and let's go crazy.…
Before there was Gladiator 2 , there was Gladiator— and that's the deep dive in today's episode. Grab your glass sandwiches and grout, or your sweetest Pinot Grigio, and settle in with us for this epic classic from the legendary Ridley Scott, all the way back in Y2K.
This episode, we're diving into Sam Mendes' Academy Award-winning feature, 1917 . It's a harrowing tale of two British soldiers given seemingly impossible orders to deliver a vital, life-saving message behind enemy lines during World War I. There's a lot to love about this one, from its unconventional editing techniques to its epic storytelling, and it's bound to leave an impression. Grab a drink and join us as we explore this epic film.…
