The Prestige (Nol-vember)

We Drink & We Watch Things ·

2025/11/12

November is Nol-vember here on ⁨@wedrinkandwewatchthings⁩ and we’re kicking off the month by pulling apart the cinematic mechanism that is Christopher Nolan's 2006 masterpiece of deception, "The Prestige."

Memento (Nol-vember)

We Drink & We Watch Things ·

2025/11/05

Welcome to Nol-vember, where we dedicate the entire month to the mind-bending masterpieces of director Christopher Nolan! We're kicking things off with the early, groundbreaking film that put him on the map: "Memento (2000)."This isn't just a movie; it's a psychological experiment that places the audience directly into the disoriented mind of its protagonist, Leonard Shelby. We dive deep into the film's revolutionary non-linear structure told in two interwoven timelines. This structure forces us to

The Ring (Spooky Szn)

We Drink & We Watch Things ·

2025/10/29

For our final chilling installment of Spooky Szn, we revisit the American horror film that fundamentally changed the genre in the early 2000s: Gore Verbinski’s "The Ring (2002)."This isn't a slasher or a jump-scare festival; it's a cold, slow-burn mystery wrapped in a shroud of eerie, washed-out green and blue cinematography. We praise the masterful sense of looming dread created by the ticking seven-day clock and Naomi Watts' compelling performance as the investigative journalist Rachel Keller

Bram Stoker's Dracula (Spooky Szn)

We Drink & We Watch Things ·

2025/10/22

This week, we dive headfirst into the visual and stylistic feast that is Francis Ford Coppola’s "Bram Stoker's Dracula" (1992).The ambition is undeniable—Coppola wanted to make a definitive, hyper-gothic, technically ingenious vision of the classic novel. And yet, for all its spectacular in-camera effects, Oscar-winning costumes by Eiko Ishioka, and Gary Oldman's powerhouse performance, the hosts find themselves a little lost in the crimson mist.Lemar and Mackenzie agree that this film, despite its

Shaun of the Dead (Spooky Szn)

2025/10/15

This week on Spooky Szn, we shuffle into the world of the undead for one of the greatest horror-comedies of all time: Edgar Wright's "Shaun of the Dead (2004)!"Lemar is in absolute heaven, celebrating this film as one of his all-time favorites, raving about its pitch-perfect pacing, razor-sharp visual humor, and genuine love for the zombie genre. Mackenzie, however, still isn't a fan of zombie flicks... but even she finds the fun, witty heart in this blood-soaked rom-com.Join the hosts as they dig

Vertigo (Spooky Szn)

We Drink & We Watch Things ·

2025/10/08

Our Spooky Szn continues its deep dive into the classics with one of the most celebrated, analyzed, and ultimately unsettling films ever made: Alfred Hitchcock's "Vertigo (1958)." While today it's hailed as a cinematic masterpiece, this film was a notoriously slow burn for original audiences, and Mackenzie and Lemar are ready to dig into exactly why it took so long for the world to catch up to Hitchcock's genius.This week, we're dissecting the very personal psychological thriller that shifts from a

Network (Satire September)

We Drink & We Watch Things ·

2025/09/24

Our journey through Satire September is coming to a close here on We Drink & We Watch Things, and we're ending with what might be the most chillingly prophetic film of them all: the 1976 classic, "Network." We both absolutely loved this movie, and what surprised us most was how eerily relevant it feels almost fifty years later. Grab your drink, and prepare for a discussion that feels less like a look back and more like a warning.This week, we're dissecting the genius of Paddy Chayefsky's

Happy 100th Episode to us! We've made it!

2025/08/27

We're crossing the finish line on Auuuugust Racing Month here on @wedrinkandwewatchthings, and for our final entry, we're taking a look at a comedy that's a bit of a mixed bag for us: "Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby."
