We Drink & We Watch Things

Happy New Year and welcome to Fan Jan! Every January here on @wedrinkandwewatchthings, we hand the steering wheel over to you and spend the month covering the films you’ve been begging us to talk about. We’re kicking off the year with a heavy hitter that’s been high on the request list: Denis Villeneuve’s 2015 desert-noir masterpiece, "Sicario." Pour yourself something strong - maybe our Night Vision Negroni - because we’re headed to the border for a thriller that refuses to give easy answers.This week, we explore the moral vacuum of the drug war through the eyes of Emily Blunt’s Kate Macer, an idealistic agent who quickly realizes she’s a pawn in a much darker game. We examine the terrifying, quiet intensity of Benicio del Toro’s Alejandro and the casual, "flip-flop" cynicism of Josh Brolin’s Matt Graver. Beyond the acting, we marvel at Roger Deakins’ breathtaking cinematography - specifically those haunting sunset silhouettes and the night-vision tension of the tunnel raid - and delve into Jóhann Jóhannsson’s pulse-pounding score that makes every frame feel like a ticking time bomb.If you love thrillers that prioritize atmosphere over easy victories, or if you’ve been one of the many fans asking us to finally tackle Taylor Sheridan’s "Neo-Western" world, this is the episode for you. We’re mixing our respect for the film’s brutal precision with our usual casual banter, making this a high-octane start to our fan-led month.

We’ve reached the grand finale of Musical Month here on @wedrinkandwewatchthings, and we are going out with all the glitz, glamour, and cynicism of 1920s jazz-age Illinois: the 2002 Best Picture winner, "Chicago." It’s time to mix yourself a Roxie's Revolver cocktail by @crft.wrld and join us as we explore a film that turned the courtroom into a stage and the media into a circus.This week, we are breaking down Rob Marshall’s brilliant decision to set the musical numbers within the vaudeville theater of Roxie Hart’s mind, seamlessly blending grit with high-energy fantasy. We’ll be unpacking the powerhouse performances of Catherine Zeta-Jones and Renée Zellweger, the smooth-talking charm of Richard Gere’s Billy Flynn, and why Queen Latifah’s "Mama" Morton is an absolute scene-stealer. We also take a look at the film’s biting satire of celebrity culture and how it portrays justice not as a search for truth, but as a well-choreographed performance.If you love sharp wit, incredible Fosse choreography, or just want to see us wrap up the year with a film that is pure "razzle dazzle," this is the episode for you. We’re blending our fascination with the film's dark humor with our usual casual banter, making this the perfect standing ovation to conclude our Musical Month.

Our celebration of Musical Month continues this week on @wedrinkandwewatchthings with what many consider to be the greatest movie musical of all time: the 1952 masterpiece, "Singin' in the Rain." It’s bright, it’s athletic, and it’s a total joy-bomb from start to finish. Pour yourself a refreshing cocktail and get ready for a conversation about a film that is essentially a love letter to the magic of movies.This week, we are revisiting the incredible transition from silent films to "talkies" and how this movie captures that chaotic, hilarious era of Hollywood history. We’ll be highlighting the sheer physical genius of Gene Kelly, the breakout charm of a young Debbie Reynolds, and the gravity-defying comedy of Donald O’Connor. We also spend some time marveling at Jean Hagen’s brilliant comedic turn as the unforgettable Lina Lamont - whose voice was definitely not made for the microphone. It’s a discussion about technical innovation, the grueling work behind those "effortless" dance numbers, and why this film’s optimism still feels so infectious decades later.If you love the Golden Age of Hollywood, world-class choreography, or just want to hear us gush about a movie that is practically perfect in every way, this is the episode for you.

Musical Month takes a sharp, provocative turn this week on @wedrinkandwewatchthings as we enter the smoky, seedy world of 1931 Berlin in Bob Fosse’s masterpiece, "Cabaret (1972)." This isn't your typical "jazz hands" musical; it’s a brilliant, disturbing look at a world partying on the edge of a cliff. Grab a stiff drink - maybe a Prairie Oyster - and get ready for a discussion about "divine decadence" in the shadow of a gathering storm.This week, we are immersing ourselves in the legendary performance of Liza Minnelli as the irrepressible Sally Bowles and Joel Grey’s haunting, omniscient Emcee. We’ll be examining Fosse’s revolutionary direction, where the musical numbers stay strictly on the stage of the Kit Kat Klub, acting as a twisted mirror to the grim political reality unfolding outside. We talk through the film’s exploration of sexual ambiguity, the chilling "Tomorrow Belongs to Me" sequence, and the heartbreaking realization that while life is a cabaret for some, the real world is becoming a nightmare. It’s a conversation about escapism, denial, and how easily a society can lose its way when it's too busy looking at the stage.If you appreciate a musical with a razor-sharp edge, iconic choreography, and themes that feel uncomfortably relevant today, this is an episode you can't miss. We're blending our awe for the film’s gritty style with our usual casual banter, making this a truly unforgettable stop on our Musical Month tour.

Nol-vember is warping into its final dimension this week on @wedrinkandwewatchthings as we conclude our month with the visually massive and deeply emotional space odyssey, "Interstellar (2014)." This film tackles nothing less than the future of humanity, the nature of time, and the gravitational pull of love itself. Grab your drink, get comfortable, and prepare for a journey that will stretch your mind as much as your heart.This week, we explore the sheer ambition of Nolan's vision, from the stunning realism of the black hole, Gargantua, to the dizzying effects of time dilation that cost Cooper years for mere minutes spent on an alien world. We talk through the incredible spectacle of the film, the theoretical science (and where it gets a little hazy), and the overwhelming emotional core: the enduring bond between Cooper and his daughter, Murph. We consider the controversial theory that love is a quantifiable force, the burden of Plan B, and the mind-bending reality of the Tesseract.If you love hard science fiction, grand cinematic spectacle, or just want to immerse yourself in a movie that blends existential dread with boundless hope, this is the perfect final frontier for Nol-vember.

Nol-vember continues this week on We Drink & We Watch Things as we charge headlong into what is maybe the greatest superhero film ever made: The Dark Knight (2008). Forget the cape and cowl - this is a sprawling, high-stakes crime epic that pits the fragile notion of order against the pure, terrifying force of chaos. Grab a drink and prepare to discuss a film that still defines cinematic villainy.This week, we are dissecting Heath Ledger's legendary, Oscar-winning performance as the Joker, who isn't interested in money or power, but in proving that all of society's rules are meaningless. We’ll be talking about the film's philosophical backbone, exploring the tragic fall of Harvey Dent, and debating whether Batman's moral line—that he "won't kill"—is a strength or a dangerous liability when facing a truly limitless enemy. It’s a discussion about necessary lies, the burden of heroism, and the ultimate sacrifice required to save Gotham's soul.If you love deeply layered crime thrillers, philosophical debates masked as superhero movies, or just want to appreciate the absolute brilliance of a film that transcends its genre, this is the episode you’ve been waiting for.

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." Grab your favorite drink...maybe our featured Danton's Obsession cocktail? Because this movie is as dark, rich, and endlessly complex as the rivalry it depicts.

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 question everything Leonard writes on his Polaroids, tattoos onto his body, and tells himself.Join us as we discuss his tattoos, the Sammy Jankis parallel, and what is his identity without memory. The film's core philosophical question is: If our memory is what makes us who we are, who is Leonard Shelby when his memory resets every few minutes?Prepare for a disorienting, exhilarating analysis of the film that cemented Christopher Nolan's reputation as a master of cinematic structure.This episode VIDEO is live on YouTube AND Spotify!Follow us on Instagram and TikTok to get ep sneak peaks and find out what's coming next.

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. "The Ring" stands out for its success in translating the chilling atmosphere of Japanese horror (Ringu) for a Western audience and its brilliant use of mundane technology—VCRs, telephones, and static-filled TVs—as conduits for supernatural terror.However, the hosts also tackle the film's legacy of techno-fear and its dark, nihilistic ending. We discuss the film's lasting cultural impact, which paved the way for a wave of J-horror remakes, and the truly unsettling nature of Samara's curse. The ultimate question we pose is the chilling moral dilemma the movie leaves us with: Is it better to accept your fate, or doom a stranger to save your child?Tune in for a deep dive into the horror classic that made a whole generation terrified of their own television sets.This episode VIDEO is live on YouTube AND Spotify!Follow us on Instagram and TikTok to get ep sneak peaks and find out what's coming next.

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 good parts (and they are gorgeous parts), is simply trying to do too much. We discuss the overstuffed plot, which attempts to be a sweeping historical tragedy, a lurid gothic horror, an erotic thriller, and a faithful period piece all at once. We praise Oldman's captivating Count, the lush, jaw-dropping visual artistry, and the sheer audacity of the production. But we can't ignore the narrative confusions, the wildly uneven supporting performances (poor Keanu), and the overall feeling of maximalism that leaves the story feeling dispersed rather than cohesive.Tune in as we try to see the good in this operatic monster movie, ultimately concluding that sometimes, even a masterpiece can be too much of a good thing.This episode VIDEO is live on YouTube AND Spotify!Follow us on Instagram and TikTok to get ep sneak peaks and find out what's coming next.

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 into the genius of Simon Pegg and Nick Frost, dissecting how the film perfectly balances gut-busting laughs with surprisingly poignant drama and gory horror. We talk about the themes of arrested development, the true meaning of friendship, and whether a trip to the Winchester is really the best plan for a zombie apocalypse. Grab a Cornetto, a pint, and maybe a cricket bat, because we're going to tear apart this classic piece of British brilliance.This episode VIDEO is live on YouTube AND Spotify!Follow us on Instagram and TikTok to get ep sneak peaks and find out what's coming next.

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 detective mystery into an agonizing study of obsession, control, and erotic fixation. We'll be discussing the brilliant technical innovations - like the famous "Vertigo Effect" - and how James Stewart's dark turn as Scottie, coupled with Kim Novak's haunting performance, creates a vortex of guilt and desire. We explore the symbolism of color, the genius of Bernard Herrmann’s score, and why the plot reveal two-thirds of the way through is less a twist and more a doorway into true psychological horror.If you love a film that demands repeat viewings, are fascinated by cinema history, or just want to hear a deep discussion on the dark heart of obsession, this episode is a can't-miss part of your Spooky Szn watch list. Don't worry, we'll try not to leave you dangling from a rooftop.This episode VIDEO is live on YouTube AND Spotify!Follow us on Instagram and TikTok to get ep sneak peaks and find out what's coming next.

To mark the occasion, Mackenzie's gift to Lemar is covering a classic that launched a thousand rules: Wes Craven's "Scream." Grab a drink, make sure your phone is charged, and let's talk about the film that changed horror forever.This week, we're diving into the brilliant meta-slasher that both celebrates and satirizes the entire horror genre. We'll be dissecting the genius of its opening scene, the infamous "rules" for surviving a horror movie, and the legendary twists that still manage to surprise viewers. As an anniversary gift, "Scream" is the perfect choice, blending sharp writing with genuine scares. We'll be talking about its lasting cultural impact and why this self-aware horror flick still feels fresh decades later.Whether you're a horror fanatic who knows all the trivia, a fan of sharp writing and meta-commentary, or just joining us to celebrate two years of drinking and watching things, this is the episode for you. We're blending our spooky season excitement with our usual casual banter, making this the perfect, high-octane start to the scariest month of the year. Do you like scary movies?

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 Oscar-winning script and Sidney Lumet's powerful direction. We'll be talking about how the film's "mad prophet of the airwaves" Howard Beale and the ruthless pursuit of ratings didn't just satirize television, it predicted the media landscape we live in today, from reality TV to the sensationalized, rage-fueled news cycle. We'll chat about the brilliant monologues, the incredible performances from the entire cast, and why a film that was once considered a wild exaggeration now feels like a horrifying documentary.If you're looking for a masterclass in screenwriting, a powerful piece of cinema, or just want to hear us marvel at how something made in the 70s could see so clearly into our future, then this is the episode for you. We're blending our appreciation for this brilliantly written film with our usual casual banter, making this the perfect, thought-provoking conclusion to a month dedicated to satire. Now, if you'll excuse us, we're going to go scream out our windows that we're "mad as hell, and we're not going to take this anymore!"This episode VIDEO is live on YouTube AND Spotify!Follow us on Instagram and TikTok to get ep sneak peaks and find out what's coming next.

Satire September takes a dark turn this week on We Drink & We Watch Things as we venture into the disturbing and deeply unsettling world of "American Psycho." This one's a bit of a mind-bender, and it gets even more complex when you bring in the source material. While our resident bookworm Mackenzie hasn't read the novel, Lemar has, and he's ready to share some truly disturbing comparisons. Grab a strong drink (or make our mocktail!) and get ready for a discussion that will definitely make you question a few things.This episode, we're dissecting the meaning of the satire, from the obsession with business cards and the superficiality of 80s yuppie culture to the gruesome violence. We'll be questioning whether Patrick Bateman's murders are real or imagined, and whether the film's commentary on consumerism and toxic masculinity is still relevant today. We don't always agree on what the film is saying, or how effective its satire truly is, but that makes for a fascinating and often chilling conversation.If you've seen the film and want to hear a deeper discussion on its meaning, are curious about how it compares to the famously graphic book, or just want to hear us grapple with a film that's as disturbing as it is brilliant, then you're in for a treat. This episode is a great example of how a satire can be truly unsettling, and we're not pulling any punches in our analysis.This episode VIDEO is live on YouTube AND Spotify!Follow us on Instagram and TikTok to get ep sneak peaks and find out what's coming next.

Satire September turns it up to 11 this week on @wedrinkandwewatchthings, and this week, we're joining the world's loudest band on their most disastrous tour! We're talking about the endlessly quotable, perfectly crafted, and just plain hilarious mockumentary, "This is Spinal Tap." It's a classic we both absolutely love, so grab your drink and get ready to laugh.This week, we're dissecting the brilliance of Rob Reiner's directorial debut and its improv genius. We'll be talking about what makes this film so iconic, from the misplaced Stonehenge prop to the amps that "go to 11" and the surprisingly high mortality rate of their drummers. We'll explore how this film didn't just satirize rock documentaries - it essentially created the blueprint for an entire genre of comedy. It's a hilarious look at the egos, the absurdity, and the surprisingly relatable struggles of a band on the decline.If you're a long-time fan who knows every line, a musician who's lived one of their "Spinal Tap" moments, or just someone who appreciates a masterclass in comedy, then you won't want to miss this.

Happy 100th Episode to us! We've made it! And to celebrate this massive milestone, we're kicking off a brand new theme month, Satire September, with a movie that's as fitting for the occasion as it is brilliant: "The Truman Show." We're not entirely sure what having a 100th episode means, but we're excited to celebrate with all of you by talking about a movie that was so far ahead of its time, it's still playing catch-up.This week, we're diving into Peter Weir's prophetic masterpiece. Both of us were honestly shocked by how well this film holds up and how incredibly relevant it still feels today. We'll be dissecting its clever commentary on reality television, surveillance culture, and our collective obsession with voyeurism.

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." This one was a first-time watch for Lemar, and let's just say... the race to love this movie was a bumpy one. Grab your drink, and prepare for some honest (and maybe a little disappointed) takes.This week, we're dissecting the Will Ferrell and Adam McKay collaboration that many consider a comedy classic. We'll be talking about the film's memorable (if slightly absurd) characters, the over-the-top gags, and whether its humor has stood the test of time. Mackenzie and Lemar will both share their perspectives on what worked for them and what fell flat. It might not be a favorite for either of us, but we can at least appreciate its place in the comedy landscape.If you're a die-hard fan of this movie, a curious soul who's never seen it, or just want to hear a conversation about a beloved film that didn't quite land for everyone, then this is the episode for you.
