Bob and Brad check out director Doug Liman's 2002 game-changer, The Bourne Identity. They reflect on 20 years of post- Bourne action filmmaking and try to explain just how big of a cultural shift this movie felt like. Both hosts praise the deceptively-versatile Matt Damon, as well as the excellent supporting cast. Meanwhile, they try the second of four offerings from Glenlivet, the famous Speyside single malt producer. This week, it's the relatively new addition to their core lineup, Founder's R...

Bob and Brad are joined by Fitz Bailey of C ooper's Craft to mix up three cocktails perfect for their 100-proof Barrel Reserve! Our hosts are on record saying that this is one of the best values in bourbon, but it also hold up nicely in a cocktail, and Fitz has gone all-out. ............................

Bob and Brad check out director and star Ben Stiller 's noble effort The Secret Life of Walter Mitty , based on the classic sort story. Much like Chef , this is a movie that on its surface only wants to be a crowd pleaser. But Stiller's direction is assured, the cinematography is gorgeous, and overall this movie really punches above its weight. Meanwhile, they try the first of four offerings from Glenlivet, the famous Speyside single malt producer. This week, it's the classic and affordable 12 y...

For this season's revisit episode, Bob and Brad wanted to revisit Martin Scorsese's unsung masterpiece, The Aviator . One of the very first films to ever appear on the show, it's been a solid 3 years since they've watched this. Brad initially gave this film a 10/10, his first ever. How will his score change, if it all? Meanwhile, they sip on three absolutely delicious whiskeys from Crooked Water Spirits . Film & Whiskey Podcast. New episodes every Monday.

Bob and Brad finally get around to watching what might be Brad's favorite movie ever, Secondhand Lions . This family-friendly crowd-pleaser flew under the radar on its 2003 release, and remains fairly unseen. Still, it sports great turns from Haley Joel Osment, Michael Caine, and Robert Duvall and a strong script. Meanwhile, they try the baseline offering from Angel's Envy , a port-finished bourbon that was revolutionary 10 years ago, but now risks being swallowed up in the sea of finished whisk...

In the latest installment of their Top Fives series, Bob and Brad each try to find five animated movies not produced by Disney (or Pixar) that are worthy enough of being called "favorites." Meanwhile, they sip on three whiskeys from Starlight Distillery , an Indiana distillery making waves in the world of craft whiskey. Film & Whiskey Podcast. New episodes every Monday.

Bob and Brad revisit the mid-90s Disney film The Hunchback of Notre Dame , which is quite possibly the darkest and most thematically "adult" of all the classic movies from the studio. Bob recently watched this and included it in his Season 5 list, but what will Brad think of it? Meanwhile, the guys sip on Rebel Cask Strength, a sourced LuxCo product that falls right in line with our hosts' other favorites from the Rebel brand. This is one you don't want to miss out on. Film & Whiskey Podcast. Ne...

Bob sits down to interview Steven Grasse of Tamworth Distilling , the company responsible for the turkey whiskey our hosts tried around Thanksgiving. Tamworth is doing much more than just experimental whiskey, though, and Steve brings along some of the distillery's award-winning aquavit for Bob to try. Meanwhile, they chat about two of Steve's favorite films: The Man Who Would Be King and Repo Man . Film & Whiskey Podcast. New episodes every Monday.

Bob and Brad review their first episode of television with the Series 2 finale of the BBC show Sherlock . This game-changing, 90-minute episode is by far the most controversial and well-received episode across the series' run, and the guys talk about its merits both as a TV episode and as a film. Meanwhile, they sample Tullamore D.E.W. 14, their first expression form the Irish whiskey brand since Season 1. Will this well-aged whiskey live up to the great value of the flagship offering? Film & Wh...

In the latest installment of their Top Fives series, Bob and Brad shine a light on some underrated favorites. These are films that IMDb users voted a 6.5 or lower on a 10-point scale, but that our hosts would award at least an 8.0. Meanwhile, they sip on two whiskeys from Spirits of French Lick , an Indiana distillery making waves in the world of craft whiskey. These bottled-in-bond bourbons include a buckwheat bourbon, which is certainly the first time our hosts have used those words. Film & Wh...

Bob and Brad watch the feel-good Jon Favreau film Chef , a movie that's about as delectable as the food it features. Boasting a great lead performance by Favreau, the star-studded dramedy brings in road trip and hang-out elements to make this one go down easy. Meanwhile, they sip on a whiskey that they agree might be the best value in all of bourbon: the absolutely delightful Rebel 100 . At $20, is there a better wheated bourbon out there?

Bob and Brad recently received bottles of Elvis Whiskey , a new line of sourced Tennessee whiskey and rye from Grain & Barrel Spirits, who also release the Chicken Cock brand. In honor of Elvis Presley's birthday, and in light of the fact that neither of our hosts had seen a film starring The King, they decided to pair the whiskeys with Jailhouse Rock , a 1957 quasi-musical that probably marks Elvis' most iconic screen moment. Film & Whiskey Podcast. New episodes every Monday. Film & Whiskey Ins...

Bob and Brad dip their toes back into the Hitchcock pool with the director's 1955 effort To Catch a Thief . Made in the middle of his golden period with Paramount, this romp through the French Riviera offers lush visuals but not much in the way of a script. Thankfully, the guys get to spend their time watching the always-charming Cary Grant, in his second appearance this season. Meanwhile, they sip on Clynelish 14, the final single malt in their Coastal Collection sample pack. How will this stac...

Bob and Brad spend a second week with Marvel heroes as they revisit Guardians of the Galaxy, Vol. 2 , director James Gunn 's (vastly superior) follow-up to the 2014 original. This movie goes so much deeper into character arcs and motivations, and to this day is the only MCU film to make Bob shed a tear. Brad was decidedly cooler on the movie the first time he saw it...will this rewatch change his mind? Meanwhile, the guys try the second whisky in their Coastal Collection sampler, Talisker 10 . T...

From 2019, enjoy this special re-release of one of our hosts' first Movie Fights. In one corner, Bob defends How The Grinch Stole Christmas!, an absolutely delightful animated short, while in the other, Brad vouches for the sentimental favorite in A Charlie Brown Christmas. Meanwhile, they drink and review TX Whiskey, and let's just say their whiskey knowledge has grown exponentially in the last few years. Film & Whiskey Podcast. New episodes every Monday.

Bob and Brad jump aboard the "timely listens" train as they revisit director Sam Raimi 's 2002 hit Spider-Man on the eve of the new Marvel film featuring everyone's favorite web-slinging hero. They dive deep into both the performances ( Tobey Maguire will forever be our Peter Parker) and the important historical context of the film. Meanwhile, they revisit the Islay region of Scotland to sample Caol Ila 12 , a single malt that certainly brings the peaty smoke that the region is known for. Film &...

Bob and Brad continue their "My Favorite Movie" series with Dan Crowell, national brand ambassador for the beloved Glenmorangie distillery. They discuss Dan's role in the industry, starting as a musician and working his way up to brand ambassador, all while walking through his favorite film, 1970's Little Big Man .

Bob and Brad take a history lesson with director George Clooney 's electrifying 2005 film Good Night, and Good Luck . Using a mix of newsreel footage, real on-air speeches, and invented dialogue, Clooney has crafted a tense and powerful movie about the price that real-life heroes pay for their actions. Meanwhile, they try the final whiskey in their Glenmorangie lineup, this time the 18-year expression. The costliest of any Glenmorangie whiskey yet featured on the show, how will it stand up again...

Bob and Brad watch the first animated film on the Season 5 list, Disney's 2010 effort Tangled . Both hosts are far more impressed with the movie than they expected to be, and they see a ton of influences at work here. They also spend a good bit of time comparing it to the (inferior) mega-hit Frozen . Meanwhile, they try the second whiskey in their Glenmorangie lineup, this time the 15-year Cadboll Estate expression. Made exclusively from barley grown on Glenmorangie's property, how will this, th...

Bob and Brad emerge from their Thanksgiving carb-comas to review Tamworth Distillery's Bird of Courage. This starts as a five-year-aged bottled-in-bond bourbon, and then it gets infused with, seemingly, and entire cooked Thanksgiving dinner in a vacuum evaporator? We are as confused as you, but we assure you, the distillery swears this contains real, actual turkey in it. So...why? And how does turkey whiskey taste? Film & Whiskey Podcast.

Bob and Brad spend their second HANKSGIVING watching the 2004 Spielberg dramedy The Terminal . This one came from Bob's Season Five list nd both hosts agree it's an underappreciated film that really speaks to the culture and climate of America post-9/11. They spend a frankly inordinate amount of time praising Stanley Tucci and talk about the complications to the plot that arise from Catherine Zeta-Jones' character. Then, the try the first of a lineup of five whiskies from Glenmorangie , this tim...

This week, we pick a movie from Brad's Season Five list, the 2005 Joe Wright adaptation of the classic Jane Austen novel Pride and Prejudice . Brad's surprised to hear the Bob has never seen this movie, especially since it's been so warmly reviewed. Will the charms of Austen's prose and the famous romance at the center of the story win Bob over? Meanwhile, our hosts return to the world of bourbon to try Knob Creek 12 Year , their first in the Knob Creek brand since Season One. Will this 100-proo...

Bob and Brad continue the "grab-bag" of Season 5 movies with a childhood favorite of Bob's, M. Night Shyamalan's Signs . This 2002 effort seems to be well-regarded among Shyamalan's films, but Bob thinks it holds up a lit better than it gets credit for, and may actually still be his favorite of the director's movies. Meanwhile, the guys wrap up their three-week tasting of Pernderyn expressions with the peated Penderyn Celt . Listeners may remember that peated whiskeys have been a true up-and-dow...

NSFW EPISODE: Bob and Brad continue their grab-bag Season 5 with a pick from Brad, 1963's Charade. This time, they're joined by their favorite YouTuber, Patrick H. Willems , who seems as excited as Brad to break down this under-appreciated Cary Grant and Audrey Hepburn vehicle. Meanwhile, they try their second of three whiskies from Penderyn , a Welsh single-malt brand. This week it's their signature whiskey finished in port barrels. Film & Whiskey Podcast. New episodes every Monday. Film & Whis...
