Willems, fresh off the release of his first feature-length film. the trio discuss Ralph Fiennes and his need for more comedic parts, the immaculate set design and cinematography of the film, and somehow work in references to Top Gun: Maverick, Paddington 2, and John Malkovich as a vampire.
Meanwhile, they try Russell's Reserve Single Barrel, a Wild Turkey product in the same general price range as one of their favorite bourbons, Wild Turkey Rare Breed. How will this bourbon stack up against such great competition?
