A truly hilarious film that's so off the wall and charming that it easily ranks as one of our top picks this year.

When a dying man washes ashore, Denny and nurse Linda get caught up in the drama and become madcap partners in crime-solving. Curious about our drink choices? Visit

2021/07/19

The story of Anthony Bourdain has in many ways been eclipsed by the shocking news of his suicide. But the chef with the rockstar life style was so much more than that one moment. This incredible artist lived to push boundaries and fill the void in his soul with as much as he could, be it for good or bad. Director Morgan Neville (Won't You Be My Neighbor), pieced together interviews from family, friends, and production team to paint the complex life Tony lived. Choosing to not dwell on Tony's end

'Final Account' exposes new perspectives on Nazi Germany

Whiskey and Popcorn ·

2021/05/25

Final Account is unlike any World War II documentary you've seen. British filmmaker Luke Holland was drawn to the story of Germany's citizens who lived through the Third Reich not as victims of the Nazis but those who witnessed and even participated in the evil ideology. With interviews from men and women, ranging from SS soldiers to concentration camp guards, Final Account captures Germans' stories and explores Germany's greatest shame from their own perspectives.

High Stakes Action Film 'Profile' Disappoints With...

Whiskey and Popcorn ·

2021/05/12

Taking after the incredible film Searching, Director Timur Bekmambetov's Profile makes clever use of the "screenlife" film technique to tell the story of a journalist who attempts to infiltrate the ISIS recruitment scheme for young women. Based on a true story, the narrative's promise is quickly dashed as the film turns away from the actual events of the story to a bloated, infuriating opera of a woman falling in love with the bad guy. Do we recommend this film? You'll have to listen to

2021/01/25

Wonder Woman 1984 _reunites writer-director Patty Jenks with Gal Gadot as Diana Price in a glitzy 80s sequel the first Wonder Woman_ blockbuster. Delayed due to COVID and finally released simultaneous in theaters and on HBOMax, WW84 does not have the same impact as its predecessor. However, there are layers worth exploring in Diana's development, and the introduction of Kristen Wiig as Cheetah and Pedro Pascal as Maxwell Lord add dimension to the story. Find out more at

2020/11/13

As far as buddy movies go The Climb might be better described as two life-long friends, turned enemies, turned friends again. Mike and Kyle have a fraught adult relationship. But despite the betrayals and the hurt they cause each other, their friendship remains one of mutual connection and respect. This film is smartly written and executed with a European flare. A "dramedy" that perfectly suits 2020, The Climb proves that movies on male relationships can go beyond dumb boys comedies like
