Last episode of 2023 is here! Mando joins the show once again to discuss the original 1954 Godzilla and the latest film in the franchise Godzilla Minus one. Is this one of the best movies of the year? As we discuss the films we try out Kikori Japanese rice whisky and break the seal on a Jack Daniels single barrel barrel proof rye.
I'm taking a break for a few weeks so I hope you ll enjoy this episode. Leave a comment on the @drinks_and_a_movie instagram if you have some feedback on what we can improve on and maybe some movies or spirits you'd like to hear about.

Happy New Year everyone!

This week Matt and I discuss one of the greatest films of all time. The sci-fi horror classic that is John Carpenter's "The Thing". We pair this with Macready's drink of choice, the J&B blended scotch whiskey. Since I'm not a big scotch fan, I decide to bring out a bourbon to try as well. We finally break the seal on the Nelson Bros Cognac Cask Finished bourbon.

This week Matt and I try Four Gate Rye for the first time. This expression is the split stave by kelvin batch 10. After a pour we discuss Justin Chon's directorial debut film "Gook" from 2017.

SPOILER ALERT FOR "THE DEPARTED". This week Matt and I disucss the 202 film "Infernal Affairs. Heavy spoilers on this one so if you haven't seen it yet, or Martin Scorsese's The Departed, then you'll want to sit this one out. We pair this movie with the last of Hardin's Creek Kentucky Series, the 17 year old Boston. Cheers!

Solo episode where I try some MEzcal Vago Elote and talk about possibly my favorite film of 2023, Radical.

This week Matt and I discuss my favorite documentary, American Movie. Since we recorded on Thanksgiving week I decided to break out the Wild Turkey 101 12 year old. We compare it with regular 101 and a Stearns Store pick of Kentucky Spirit that is 10 years old.

In this weeks episode Matt brings two bottles straight from the Sagamore Spirit Distillery. Their new 6 year old bottled in bond batch 3 and the distillery exclusive Dopplebock Finished whiskey. After a couple pours of Sagamore we discuss Bong Joon Ho's 2003 masterpiece Memories of Murder.

Chris and I finally get our hands on the 13 year 7 month old Elijah Craig Barrel Proof C923 and taste it while discussing Tromas Masterpiece "The Toxic Avenger".

Lindsey and I kick off November by breakin the seal on the 2023 release of Michters Toasted Barrel Rye and Michters Barrel Strength Rye(this release was from a few years ago). After some wonderful tasters we dig into Brian De Palma's "Phantom of the Paradise".
