We at the Boozedancing Entertainment Network feel your pain. We are churning out boozy content as fast as our A.I. chimps can dictate into our UNIVAC I. This A.I. revolution has a long learning curve, especially when you’re at Thrifty’s buying new vacuum tubes for the damn computer. It’s a pain.

With that in mind, this episode of What We Watch When We Drink is about pain as we watch the recently released, A Real Pain, starring Jesse Eisenberg and Kieran Culkin as cousins heading off to Poland to honor their recently deceased grandmother. And pain ensues!

We pair this new flick with some new single cask single malts from the Isle of Raasay Distillery courtesy of ImpEx Beverages. All joy here!

Note that things got a little painful during the episode when the UNIVAC I went kablooey (technical term) knocking Aaron off the airwaves and off his chair. No whisky was spilled. But another trip for vacuum tubes (and ice cream) was required. More pain (but some gain!).

We never promised pain free podcasts. But there’s always laughter buried deep within the pain. And whisky helps! Pour your favorite dram and check out our latest painful journey.

The greatest gift we can give you, our devoted What We Watch When We Drink listeners, subscribers, grifters, hanger-oners, and groupies, aside from non-stop entertainment, is – no, not Amazon gift cards – our annual year-end recap episode of our TV favorites. So here it is. You’re welcome. It was supposed to include movies and our highly acclaimed, somber, yet celebratory “In Memoriam” segment but two of us watch too much television, and one of us falls asleep at the movies and can’t remember the last time he was in a movie theater (Is that even an ongoing brick and mortar business anymore?) but certainly was annoyed at the price of Red Vines and a gallon of soda and that the restrooms were a city block away from Theater 11.

As usual, we dive deep, well, snorkel near the surface may be more accurate; can’t come up with names, shows and offspring; and talk too much about shows you’ll never watch. It’s what we do. And we do it with flair and whisky.

A heartfelt thank you to all of our guests and supporters in 2024. We can’t do this without you. If we can save just one podcast listener from Tucker Carlson, it makes it all worth it.

On this podcast version of our 11/5/2024, What We Watch When We Drink livestream, we discuss the 2012 Ken Loach film, The Angels’ Share, which stars Paul Brannigan, Siobhan Reilly, John Henshaw, Gary Maitland, Williame Ruane, and Jasmin Riggins. Here’s the official tagline…

“Four friends. One mission. Lots of spirit. Enjoy responsibly.”

In addition to discussing the film, we’ll be sampling and discussing three new whiskies from Nc’nean, Wolfburn, and Ardnamurchan thanks to our dear friends at Impex Beverages who were kind enough to send us samples.

In some other podcast universe this circus is called The Bitter Old Men Podcast because, well, let’s just say that we’re not exactly a trio of rainbows, cotton candy and kittens. But we’re in this here universe and we keep the bitterness as a delicate accoutrement to enhance the What We Watch When We Drink cocktail.

In this episode, bitterness meets bitters as we speak to Gene Cooper of the McMann & Tate Cocktail Company. We chat with Gene about his unique line of bitters, garnishes and salts to enhance homemade cocktails. We even made our drinks for the show using a few of these bitters to put them through our rigorous quality testing.

And we dug into Trees Lounge, the 1996 dark comedy written, directed, and starring Steve Buscemi with an all-star cast of newcomers back then. It’s a brooding and bitter movie which is perfect for bitter men and cocktails with bitters.

Let’s just call it The Bitters Episode of What We Watch When We Drink. Download or listen today instead of complaining about the water bill, cable guy, line at the bank, or the lousy service at your local greasy spoon. We get it. We’re bitter too.

We went full on Intercontinental Boozedancing Madness from North America to Europe. From the UK to Canada to…New Jersey(?!)…to California. It’s the “Travels in Scotland” episode of What We Watch When We Drink!

In the UK we have Dawn Davies from The Whisky Exchange, and in New Brunswick, Canada we have Johanne McInnis – aka The Whisky Lassie – contributing editor of The Whisky Explorer Magazine. They’ve been to Scotland many times. One even went to university there. And in the good old USA, you have your award winning hosts.

Dawn and Johanne may need their own podcast being walking encyclopedias of whisky knowledge. The jury is still out on the hosts though they have sold encyclopedias door-to-door…unsuccessfully.

We chatted about whisky, what makes Scotland so special, and a movie that has whisky and is in Scotland, 1983’s Local Hero.

It’s never a bad time when Dawn and Johanne honor us with another visit to the show. There was laughing, talking with hands, and Costco talk. Need we say more?

Now honor them by checking out this episode from the Boozedancing Entertainment Network. No Costco membership required.

The Boozedancing kin reconvened for another sit down of stories and whiskey on What We Watches When We Drinks. We had some extended kin with us this here time. Miss Ashley Erwin who speaks the truth about Angel’s Envy bourbon and rye came to sit a spell with us. And, lordy, she knows buckets full about whiskey, so much so, bless her heart, she’s what they call an Educator for Angel’s Envy. We can barely reads and do our gazintas and ciphering so having an educator around made us smarter even for a short time.

That being said, Miss Ashley and us talked about a moving picture too called Lawless, abouts brothers in the Virginia woods making moonshine except some lawman from Chicago ain’t fond of them or their ‘shine on account of this being during the Prohibition and all. Lots of movie stars in this one.

Grab some hooch and give us a listen. Yiull be glad you did. Miss Ashley, Angel’s Envy and us at the Boozedancing will be much obliged.

It’s a very TALL episode on this week’s Watch We Watch When We Drink…

Bad Monkey stars a very TALL Vince Vaughn. He’s always tall but seemingly taller on this comedic AppleTV+ crime drama. It’s directed by Bill Lawrence (of Scrubs and Ted Lasso fame) from a book of the same name from Carl Hiaasen which are all reasons enough to watch. So we did. The recently released first two episodes were on our teevee screens, and we walked away dreaming of glorious sunshine and fiery hot music of south Florida, pristine beaches in the The Keys, seagulls and pelicans soaring by, and humidity you can cut with a fishing knife. We may move the corporate offices there for the tax advantages and seafood.

And our special guest for all this crimeing in Florida is a very TALL Travis Tidwell, the Western US Brand Ambassador for Glenmorangie which is home to the TALLEST stills in Scotland. We know a good theme when it smacks us in the face. Travis has been with Moet Hennessy quite a while so he knows of what he speaks as he walks us through a tall lineup of Glenmorangie. It’s a tall order but we’re tough enough to climb that ladder.

Grab a pina colada, an ice cold bottle of beer, or even a dram of single malt. Oh, and don’t forget the sunscreen! Those Florida rays are killer on the skin. And check out this episode from the Boozedancing Entertainment Network from your boat, lanai, or favorite alligator viewing spot.

We’re off to the NOSHO for this episode of What We Watch When We Drink. It’s senior whale shit hockey night as we head to the barn for a night of Shoresy. Three seasons worth of this Letterkenny spinoff! Jared Keeso and Co. have just a beauty of show on the Hulu that follows the Sudbury Blueberry Bulldogs and their rags to pitter-patter paninis journey.

And we do it all with various Canadian whiskies. Some good, some not so good which is what your mum said to me while she was eating oysters and slurping vodka off my bare back in Ensenada last weekend. Give yer balls a tug, Loser.

Go get a Gus N’ Bruno to pound and download this one from the Boozedancing Entertainment Network. If you don’t, then who the hell do you think is going to set the tone? So dumb.

We’ve hit the BIG 5-0! And our gift to you, our loyal listeners, parolees, and imbibers is this celebration episode of What We Watch When We Drink. It’s our 50th episode(!) – and who among us thought it would never get past the first one? Don’t answer that. – and we get back to our roots and just talk about what we’ve watched in recent months. There’s a lot to consume out there and we boil it down for you, the voice of reason and good taste that we are. Spoiler Alert: no reality TV was consumed unless you consider sports reality TV.
