Bob and Brad kick off their mini-series of Martin Scorsese films with his 1976 masterpiece, Taxi Driver. For years, Bob wasn't a fan of this one, but he's really come around, and Brad was equally blown away, having watched it for the first time. Of course, they spend some time discussing the towering De Niro performance, as well as screenwriter Paul Schrader's fragile state of mind while writing the film.

Meanwhile, they try Jack Daniel's Triple Mash, a new bottled-in-bond blend of whiskies from America's favorite Tennessee distillery. At a very affordable $35, how does the slender, 700-mL bottle stack up?

Bob and Brad wrap up their mini-series of Spielberg films with Bob's all-time favorite movie, the 1993 masterpiece Jurassic Park. Much has been written about the groundbreaking VFX and use of CGI, but our hosts focus in on the outstanding performances that sell the whole thing, as well as the tightly-constructed script.

Meanwhile, they revisit Barrell Seagrass, Brad's highest-rated whiskey in the show's history, to sample the new 16-year, ultra-premium version. How will it hold up to other Barrell releases?

Bob and Brad continue their mini-series of Spielberg films with 1981's Raiders of the Lost Ark. Often considered a perfect "entertainment," this film certainly doesn't have a lot going on beneath the surface, but that just highlights the filmmaking craft of Spielberg all the more. Our hosts sing the praises of the cast, particularly the supporting players, and are pleasantly surprised by the number of visual gags on display.

Meanwhile, they revisit Laphroaig Distillery with the cask-strength version of their 10-year expression. They tried Laphroaig 10 way back in the early seasons of the show, and it nearly turned Bob off from peated Scotch forever. Will this high-proof version turn things around?

Bob and Brad continue their mini-series of popular films from director Steven Spielberg, this time with 1977's wildly successful Close Encounters of the Third Kind. A surprisingly interior movie, our hosts are wowed both by its ambition and the remarkable leading turn from Richard Dreyfuss.

Meanwhile, our hosts sip on Highland Park Magnus, a lower-proof, non-age-stated single malt Scotch from the Orkney region. This marks the second Highland Park expression in a row. How will it stack up to last week's Highland Park 12?

Season Six kicks off with one of the most popular films ever, director Steven Spielberg's breakthrough Jaws. Widely considered one of the best horror movies ever made, the famously-troubled production led to a tightly-edited masterclass in tension. Brad and Bob discuss the film's two very different halves, as well as the unsung acting heroics of Roy Scheider and Richard Dreyfus.

Meanwhile, our hosts sip on Highland Park 12-year, a lightly-peated single malt Scotch from the Orkney region. This bottle represents the entry point into the famous Highland Park brand, but what will our hosts think of it?
