2025/10/25

Are we the echoing memory of an already dead universe, that echo pulsing forever outward into the black depths of what exists outside what we know as reality? Does that mean all of our choices have already been made? Are we stuck inside the memory of a deus ex machina that repeats itself over and over in the silent black? Well, looks like it's going to be one of THOSE episodes. Good thing we have Middle West Ported Pumpernickel Rye to keep the ennui at bay! Double Cask Collection Ported

Do you like big Italian dramas? Do you enjoy Machiavelian style politics? How do you about the occasional eye gouging? Do you have any thoughts on vague, subtley applied mystical themes? How about generally forbidden love? What's that? You like all of it, you sick twisted puppy? Then we have the book for you! On this episode, we explore the deeply nuanced grimdark epic of "Navola" by Paolo Bacigalupi. Really, this one is rich and complex. So much so that we need an equally rich and complex

This is one of those oopsisodes where it's not so much that we forgot, but rather that there's just too much to say. This week, we revisit The Life of Chuck by Stephen King.

2025/09/27

Stephen King has a habit of putting his strongest messages into his shortest of works. Stand By Me (The Body), Shawshank Redemption, The Green Mile, and The Life of Chuck is no exception. First of all, read it. No. Really. READ IT. Then go and watch the movie. No no. Really. WATCH THE MOVIE. The Life of Chuck is the affirmation of life that we need in the world we live in today. It doesn't assure us that all will be well, or even that everything will work out just the way we want or hope or

Beards, Books, and Bourbon Podcast ·

2025/08/30

On this epsisode of BBB, the boys explore a beloved author who they somehow haven't managed to review until now. Mr. Joe Abercrombie's alternate history/fantasy tale "The Devils" is the subject this time around. Hilarious, gory, and unrepentantly grim and sardonic, Stephen and Mark dive into a world of curses, werewolves, elves, Popes, and, of course, truly flawed and damaged characters. It is a world where the scariest things aren't the summoned Dukes of Hell, but the people doing the summoning.

Stephen and Mark change locations to the outdoor studio (Mark's backyard) where they almost get destroyed by a fast moving thunderstorm. They almost saw their recording equipment get blown away like little Toto in the basket. Because I bless the rains down in Africa. Because it puts the lotion in the basket. Wait. No. That's a Wizard of Oz reference. Nevermind. Scratch those last two parts. It's all in the name of books and bourbon, two things we know they can't resist, or shut up about. In this

In this episode, Stephen and Mark return to the work of Adrian Tchaikovsky in his novella "Elder Race". Once again, Tchaikovksy blends science fiction with fantasy in an almost Arthurian epic quest of unintended consequences, mistaken identities, mythic expectations, and the inevitable march of time. A SFF story needs an SFF bourbon whiskey to pair with it. So, Stephen and Mark finally crack open a bottle they've been holding onto for a while. Filmland Spirits presents The Town At The Edge of
