Note:  This podcast is loaded with spoilers.  Proceed with caution.

We watched Avengers: Endgame on opening night, and we reacted with different levels of enthusiasm.  For this episode, we break down the film, what we liked, what we didn’t like, and what future movies could look like.  In between segments, a big group of friends rolled in from a Kesha concert, so the second half of this installment finds us a little extra boozy.

This week, we enjoy a little beer from Santa Fe Brewing, which features some of the finest ales and lagers to come out of New Mexico.  You can find out all about them right here.  Their beers are color-coded, and my wife Jo was sweet enough to track down colors that match up with Thanos’ gauntlet.  It also doesn’t hurt that the Land of Enchantment is where Thor’s hammer was discovered in Iron Man 2.

My full review for Avengers: Endgame can be found right here!

SPOILERS ABOUND.  If you haven’t seen the latest episode of Game of Thrones, stop, drop, and roll on over to HBO and get crackin’….

[su_dropcap size=”5″]T[/su_dropcap]his week, we take a look at Season 8’s second episode of Game of Thrones.  With everybody cloistered at Winterfell, this will be as close as G0T gets to a “bottle episode.”  For those unfamiliar with television vernacular, bottle episodes are a cost-saving measure, so that producers can allot more $$$ to future installments.  These cheapie productions pose a challenge to the writers, and can result in some of the best episodes of a series.  Think about the Friends episode where the gang plays trivia for their two apartments.  While this isn’t a landmark Thrones outing, it is a fun examination on how the characters attempt to quell the unbearable tension of the coming battle.  Some seek forgiveness, others go for a quickie in the Winterfell forge, but just about everybody is trying to get carnage off their minds.  One thing’s for sure:  A slurping, randy Tormund Giantsbane (Kristofer Hivju) steals all of his scenes.  It’s also great to see Brienne of Tarth finally get her full due as a badass Knight.

Also, we pound some delicious Spanish wine.  Much of the show is shot in Spain, so it just seemed appropriate.

Orin Swift has long-produced a lineup of wines based on different locations, and the famous grapes associated with that particular country.  Their “E” is a Tempranillo:  Bold-bodied, and ripe with fruit.  The Lechuza is a velvety-smooth Garnacha, with hints of earthiness and mouth-filling oaky notes.
