Drinks and a Movie

This week Malia and I finally break the seal on a bottle of Purple Corn Mexican Whiskey from Sierra Norte. We also finally chat about Gregory Nava's 1995 film 'Mi Familia'. Otherwise known as 'My Family'. This is a personal favorite of mine so I'm glad it's finally on the show. It's an epic story that follows three generations of a family, starting with Jose's walk from Mexico to Los Angeles CA in the 1920's.

This episode was recorded as a live commentary for 'Top Gun' in August 2020. Matt put together this live stream watch party as a fundraiser for the Drinks and a Movie podcast back when my audio gear was stolen. Since I'm behind on editing and the new 'Top Gun: Maverick' is the big blockbuster of the moment I thought it'd be fun to release this recording. Matt, Sean, and myself drink 805 blonde ale and talk through the 80's classic. To everyone who joined us and donated to the cause, thank you so much. This podcast wouldn't be where it is today if it weren't for you support. Please continue to share it with others so we can keep growing.

This week I sit in the beautiful Monty Bar in Los Angeles, CA to try out Ghost tequila blanco and Madre Mezcal with Steven Cisneros. Steven played the role of Chivo in 'American Me'. The young boy who is initiated into the gang world and delivers one of the most powerful endings in cinema history. We talk about how he got the part, his experience working on set, the impact American Me has had in pop culture, and his work with Phantom Projects Theater.

In this weeks episode I visit the Secret Movie Club theater in Los Angeles to chat with founder/programmer Craig Hammill. We break the seal on a brand new bottle of Jeffersons Ocean Aged Rye and discuss his love for cinema, how he secret movie club began, where it is, and where it's going all while dealing with some audio issues. You don't want to miss this one! Special thanks to Adam Adorno for helping to set up and monitor cameras, as well as give the idea of recording backup audio on our phones which saved the episode.

In this episode (recorded weeks ago), Matt, Chris and I finally come together for the first time to discuss John Carpenters cult classic martial arts adventure film 'Big Trouble in Little China'. We break the seal on a Bourye from Redwood Empire called 'Lost Monarch', a blend of straight whiskeys. This is a delicious dram that is easily sippable and the bottles artwork is beautiful. Give it a try. As always, drinks responsibly and don't forget to rate/review/subscribe. Thanks for listening.

In this episode, Matt, Chris, and I discuss Kevin Smiths first film 'Clerks'. We end up getting very personal on this one, the movie just brings that out in us. We decided to try out some single barrel store picks of bourbon for this one. Starting with a Redemption High Rye bourbon from 'Smart Time' liquor in Riverside CA, a Makers Mark Private Select from Paradise liquor in Rancho Cucamonga CA, and Knob Creeks single barrel selects from Alameda Liquor in Burbank Ca and La Bodega in Riverside CA.
