  • Every Best Picture Winner! #1: Wings (1927)

    Every Best Picture Winner! #1: Wings (1927)
    Feb 2 2026
    In this new series, I’m watching and reviewing every Academy Award Best Picture winner—starting at the very beginning. From silent-era to modern epics, this podcast is part film history, part personal journey, and part honest conversation about what these legendary movies feel like to watch today.

    The series begins with Wings (1927), the very first Best Picture winner: a silent epic of friendship, rivalry, and aerial combat that helped define Hollywood spectacle. Nearly a century later, does it still soar, or does it feel grounded by its era?

    Whether you’re a longtime film lover or just Oscar-curious, this series is about revisiting cinema’s biggest titles one movie at a time—thoughtfully, honestly, and without the hype.

    This is where the marathon begins. 🍿

  • The Santa Clause (1994)/Old Overholt 12yr Cask Strength Rye Whiskey

    The Santa Clause (1994)/Old Overholt 12yr Cask Strength Rye Whiskey
    Dec 23 2025
    This week on Drinks and a Movie Podcast, Malia joins me as we revisit Disney’s 1994 holiday hit, The Santa Clause. Tim Allen’s unlikely transformation from regular dad to North Pole icon has become a seasonal staple—but does it still hold up decades later? We break down the film’s comedy, heart, and surprisingly dark fairy-tale edges, and talk about why it continues to resonate with holiday audiences.

    To keep things warm and festive, we’re pairing the movie with a pour of Old Overholt 12 Year Old Cask Strength Rye Whiskey. We dive into the nose, palate, and finish, discuss how the extra proof changes the experience, and decide whether this classic rye’s long-aged, high-octane revival belongs on your winter sipping list.

    It’s holiday nostalgia, grown-up spirits, and a reminder that sometimes the best way to watch a Christmas movie is with a strong rye in hand.

  • Thunderball 60th Anniversary/Hardin's Creek Warehouse Series Kentucky Straight Bourbon

    Thunderball 60th Anniversary/Hardin's Creek Warehouse Series Kentucky Straight Bourbon
    Dec 22 2025
    This week, pour yourself something strong and cue up the underwater jet packs—we’re celebrating 60 years of Thunderball.

    In this episode of Drinks and a Movie, we dive back into the 1965 Bond spectacle to see how it holds up six decades later, from its lavish action set pieces to its larger-than-life villainy and unmistakable Sean Connery swagger. But the martini isn’t just shaken—we crack open the pages too. Along the way, we compare the film to Ian Fleming’s Thunderball novel, breaking down what the movie keeps, what it changes, and whether the story works better on the page or on the screen.

    To keep things properly cinematic, we’re also tasting and reviewing all three new Hardin’s Creek Warehouse Series bourbons, exploring how each expression differs and which one deserves a spot on your shelf for your next Bond marathon.

    It’s classic Bond, thoughtful comparisons, and serious bourbon talk—because some anniversaries deserve both a rewatch and a refill.
