What's Going On Here?!?

It's Episode 63, and we're back to our regularly scheduled programming! And we are doing all things Argentina! We review the tv show Estocolmo (Episode 8, "Time For Revenge"), and an absolutely lovely Malbec (of course), Cruz Alta Reserve 2017, out of Mendoza, Argentina. Along the way, we discover past occurences coming back to the Quig, of a young lad being invited to play with a grown man's bells...tune in to hear it all! Cheers!!!

And just like that, the end is here! We conclude the 2019 WGOH?!? Best Tournament and pick what we think is the best Bond movie! We also close the tournament out with a beverage bang, as our Vesper martini with Monkey 47 gin (out of Schaberhof, south of Lossburg), Crystal Head vodka, and Noilly Prat Vermouth (we know it's not Lillet, we made an adjustment) got the highest grade we ever gave a drink on this show! Truly outstanding! Like we always say, if you're at a barbecue, and this is the only drink they are serving...you might wanna stage an intervention. :) Cheers!!!

Episode 61 sees us through the first round of the Felix Leiter region, and one step closer to our finals. Four more movies have been chosen, a great Bond/MCU crossover idea has been floated (Kevin Feige, we're free to talk whenever you'd like), and the Vesper martini, although somewhat modified (we used Noilly Prat Vermouth instead of Kina Lillet), was just top notch. Cheers!!!

The Bond countdown continues! In Episode 60, we continue our bracket analysis with the Q Region leading off the sweet sixteen bracket. We also sample a vodka martini(same Vermouth, Noilly Prat Extra Dry), this time with Belvedere vodka (80 proof), which is produced in Zyradow, Poland by Polmos. Once again, be ready for delicious drinks, music tangents, a very slight Avengers:Endgame spoiler, and overall brilliant analyses and shenanigans. Cheers!!!

Episode 59 brings us Part 4 of the 2019 WGOH?!? Best Tournament, and we have determined which two movies enter the Sweet Sixteen of Bond movies! If going merely by box office numbers (accounted for inflation), we have one upset and one expected victory in this preparatory playoff stage. And in a What's Going On Here?!? first, we review a cocktail! Because we are entering serious Bond territory, our cocktail, of course, is a vodka Martini. Shaken, not stirred (obviously). For our vodka, we used Crystal Head Vodka (by Globefill Inc., out of Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada), and for our vermouth, we used Noilly Prat Extra Dry Vermouth (out of Marseillan, France). The drink got top scores, as you can tell by our reactions when we taste it. So tune in, compare your brackets to ours, and grab a drink! Cheers!!!

The WGOH?!? Best Tournament continues with Episode 58! We get through the M Region and determine the second movie that goes on to the Sweet Sixteen Entry Playoffs. Nothing too controversial, we think. It is a well deserved win. Speaking of well deserved wins, in honor of the first picture of a black hole ever, and as a nod to Moonraker, we reviewed Low Earth Orbit. This 6.7% stout by the Alementary Brewing Company will definitely get you to a higher ground! So get some of this brew, and finish your Lower Tier Brackets! Cheers!!

Episode 57 is here, and we roll right on through the brackets! We determined the winner of the Lower Tier Brackets Moneypenny Region, and we think it might be controversial! We figured out, in a flash of inspiration, how Bond leads such a lavish lifestyle on a government salary (hint: he's a movie star/producer of a particular genre). We also review Oasis Dry Cider (6.7% ABV), by the Harvard Cider Company out of Boston, Massachusetts. It is brilliant! Cheers!!

The brackets are here!!! And this year, in our 2019 WGOH?!? Best Tournament, get your Aston Martins revved up, your tuxedos cleaned, and your vodka martinis shaken (never stirred), because we are counting down all 26 Bond movies (24 official, 2 unofficial)! So, consult with M, give Moneypenny a smooch, and get equipped by Q, cause we are going on a adventure of international intrigue!! And in a very un-Bond-like fashion, we reviewed a delicious beer, Road 2 Ruin, by Two Roads Brewing Company out of Stratford, Connecticut. (Top Secret: it was delish.) Cheers!!!

Episode 55 is here, and it's a Dutch surprise! We review our first Dutch cinematic experience, the 2015 comedy Bon Bini Holland, and then, to keep this episode immersed in all-things-Netherregionlands, we review Natte, a Belgian Dubbel, and Ijwit, a delicious witbier! We talk british popstars, food industry, and T-Love reads to us in Dutch!!! TWICE!!!! That alone is worth the price of admission. Cheers!!!

Episode 54 is here! And we decided to jump on the host-less Oscars bandwagon! We discuss the Oscars, music, albums, why there isn't an Oscar for stuntwork, actors, weird presenter choices, and everything in between. Also, we sampled a very tasty beer in LaChouffe, a Belgian Blond Ale from Brasserie d'Achouffe, out of Achouffe, Belgium. And the beer goes to...us!!!! (see what we did there?) Cheers!!!!
