Meanwhile, they sip on and review Wheel Horse Bourbon, a new brand out of Owensboro, KY. Interested in becoming a Film and Whiskey patron?

Bob and Brad continue their mini-series of Best Picture winners with the 1950 backstage drama All About Eve, and boy do they have some hot takes today. Brad comes in hot with an "I don't like this movie" review that threatens to derail the whole episode, but eventually our hosts do find points of agreement. Meanwhile, they sip on Old Ezra 7 Barrel Strength, a fan-favorite bourbon, and this time it's Bob's turn for a negative review almost as fiery as the whiskey itself. Film & Whiskey Podcast....

Bob and Brad continue their mini-series of Best Picture-winners with 1993's Schindler's List, in conjunction with International Holocaust Remembrance Day. For the first time in over a year, our two hosts are recording together in person, and to mark the occasion, they sample two higher-end Speyside single malts: Aberlour 16 and Aberlour 18. Speyside scotches are known to be soft and fruity, but will the whisky impress enough to justify the price tags? Film & Whiskey Podcast. New episodes every...

Bob and Brad are joined by Chad and Sara from It's Bourbon Night to talk about the Best Picture-winning 1991 thriller The Silence of the Lambs. Brad's never seen this one, and our guests hosts are all too eager to get him acclimated to the horrors that await him. Meanwhile, they all sip on Old Tub, a bottled-in-bond bourbon from Jim Beam. Previously only available in 375-mL special-edition bottles at their Clermont, KY distillery, Beam Suntory has taken this product national, and at a more-than...

Bob and Brad are joined by Kenny Coleman from Bourbon Pursuit, the world's biggest bourbon podcast, to talk about the 1996 Coen Brothers classic Fargo.

Meanwhile, Kenny supplies our hosts with Pursuit United, a blended bourbon from spirits company that Kenny co-owns. He breaks down the process of selecting and blending sourced bour...

Bob and Brad finally delve into the world of spaghetti westerns with a look at The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly. Aside from talking about the origins of the spaghetti Western and the eccentricities of director Sergio Leone, the guys also discuss, once again, how the studio-supported "extended cut" really ruins the experience of this movie, and why you should seek out the theatrical version if possible. Meanwhile, they sip on Fistful of Bourbon, a sourced blend of straight bourbons that lines up ...

Bob and Brad are joined by Abby and Alaina from the Bourbon and Blondes Podcast to talk about the baseball classic A League of Their Own.

Meanwhile, they all sip on Willett Distillery's Noah's Mill, a 114-proof blend of sourced bourbons aged up to 20 years. They come down in very different places on this one. Film &...

In this Season 4 premiere, Brad and Bob revisit the Lord of the Rings franchise with the second installment, The Two Towers.

Bob and Brad finish out Season 3 with an Alfred Hitchcock classic, North by Northwest. They discuss how wildly different the tone of this film is from its immediate Hitchcock predecessor, Vertigo, including in its choice of leading man. They praise the performances of Cary Grant and Eva Marie Saint, and even get into a game of comparing this Grant performance to some of his other classic roles. Meanwhile, they sip one of their most challenging whiskeys to evaluate: Thomas H. Handy Sazerac Rye, ...

Bob and Brad take a look at director Denis Villeneuve's 2015 effort Sicario. In a lot of ways, this film is reminiscent of another movie they've recently watched, No Country For Old Men, not least of which is master cinematographer Roger Deakins. The guys discuss the uniformly excellent performances, especially Benicio Del Toro. Meanwhile, they dip their toes back into the Wild Turkey pool with the barrel-proof Rare Breed bourbon. At only about a $40 price tag, will this end up being one of the...

Bob and Brad watch East of Eden, the screen debut of Hollywood legend James Dean and an adaptation of one of Brad's all-time favorite novels. Meanwhile, they sip on Tin Cup American Whiskey, a spirit that technically qualifies as a bourbon but chooses not to be called that--which totally is not suspect and doesn't bode poorly at all, right?

Bob and Brad finish out the original Star Wars trilogy in style with 1983's Return of the Jedi. Brad outright admits he cannot objectively talk about Star Wars, but the guys still acknowledge some pacing issues in this one. Meanwhile, they sample a budget bourbon in Early Times Bottled-in-Bond.

Christmastime is here, and Bob and Brad are ready to talk about their favorite Christmas movie, It's a Wonderful Life. Perhaps their biggest mission in the episode is to ding the praises of Donna Reed, who is just absolutely spectacular alongside an always-stellar James Stewart. Even though they both love the film, our hosts discuss whether it could be improved upon and whether a movie can be a "10/10" while being imperfect. Meanwhile, they sip on another whiskey from the High West company, thi...

Bob and Brad kick the Christmas season off in earnest with the action classic Die Hard.

We walk through the idea behind both the whiskey and the new bottle that contains it, and Elizabeth teases her favorite film for a future bonus episode....

Bob and Brad review the family classic Mary Poppins. Bob talks about his long, complicated relationship with the movie, while it's Brad's first time seeing it in many years.

But Bob also gives lots of love to David Tomlinson, his favorite actor in the film. Meanwhile, they try their first whisky from the Bruichladdich distillery, the Port C...
