  • Episode 32 - TRICK OR TREAT? Blind Tasting 4 Jim Beam Bourbons with Whisky in the 6

    It's a Halloween first at the Morgue! For the first time ever, we're welcoming an in-person guest, Rob from Whisky in the 6, for a little trick or treating.

    We're putting four Jim Beam bourbons to the test in a blind flight, with two limited release bottles and two everyday pours you can find on the shelf. Which bottles will be treats, and which ones will leave us with a trick?

    Along the way, we're getting into all things Halloween, from the worst candy to the movies that scared the hell out of us as kids, childhood costumes, and plenty of nostalgic Halloween memories. Grab a pour, hit play, and join us for a little Halloween fun.

    Watch Mike and Rob's other collab

    Stay Spooky!

  • Episode 31 - Kristen Semedo on Comfort Food, Women in Horror & Indie Filmmaking

    On this episode of the Whiskey Morgue Podcast, I’m joined by screenwriter and director Kristen Semedo, an editor for the NoSleep Podcast, to talk horror, filmmaking, and her upcoming film Comfort Food while sipping on some of our favourite RTD Old Fashions.

    We dig into the film’s blend of ghost stories, existentialism, surrealism, and food as a source of comfort, explore female agency and the tropes women face in horror, and discuss the creative challenges of independent filmmaking. We wrap things up with a round of comfort food, movies, and albums.

    Head over to Seed & Spark to watch the trailer, learn more about Comfort Food, and help bring Kristen’s vision to life by supporting the campaign!

  • Episode 29 - Better Luck Than Chuck | A New Horror Trivia Gameshow

    In this episode, Mike sits down with husband-and-wife duo Tony Wash and Meredith Tummillo, the executive producers behind Better Luck Than Chuck, a horror trivia game show born from a late-night conversation about whether a horror trivia show had ever been made.

    They discuss the journey from that initial idea to a fully produced series, their inspirations, selecting contestants, the challenges of bringing the concept to life, and why partnering with independent horror companies like Fright Rags, Severin Films, Trick or Treat Studios, and Terror Vision was so important.

    Along the way, they share a few drinks, talk about the show's future and audience participation, and wrap things up by putting each other to the test with some horror trivia of their own.


    Make sure to pour a drink and catch the premiere on September 24th on YouTube!

  • After the Last Rental - Phantasm 3: Lord of the Dead (1994)

    This week on After the Last Rental, Zack pulls Phantasm 3: Lord of the Dead off and cracks some cold beers with Mike—just as Reggie would.

    We celebrate Reggie Bannister and one of horror’s most beloved cult characters, diving into his evolution from wisecracking ice cream man to shotgun-wielding Tall Man hunter, and why Phantasm 3 perfectly blends horror, sci-fi, zombies and weird comedy. Reggie might be gone, but his legacy is never over.

  • Episode 28 - Buddy Nielsen of Senses Fail

    Senses Fail's Buddy Nielsen Talks Still Searching, Fatherhood & Horror Movies


    On this episode of the Whiskey Morgue Podcast, Mike sits down with Senses Fail frontman Buddy Nielsen to celebrate the 20th anniversary of Still Searching and reflect on the legacy of an album that has meant so much to so many fans.

    While Buddy is literally out on a camping trip, the conversation takes a fitting detour into the world of campy horror and Sleepaway Camp before exploring nostalgia, fatherhood, literature, creativity, and the challenge of honoring the past while continuing to grow.

    Equal parts thoughtful, funny, and reflective, this is a conversation about the music, movies, and moments that stay with us long after the credits roll. Make sure to catch them on their 20th anniversary tour of Still Searching this Fall.

  • After The Last Rental - The Gate (1987)

    This week on After the Last Rental, we're cracking open the 1987 cult classic The Gate and pairing it with a pour of Buffalo Trace Bourbon—Mike's gateway whiskey into bourbon.

    Using our 3 Sips System, we revisit the movie's unforgettable practical effects, Satanic Panic atmosphere, and surprisingly effective nightmare fuel, while debating whether its tiny demons, meandering story, and over-the-top finale still hold up today.

    Is The Gate an overlooked '80s gem or just a nostalgic rental best left on the shelf? Grab a glass and join us as we decide if this cult favorite deserves to be served Neat, On the Rocks, or Watered Down.
