This week on Drinks and a Movie, we’re diving into the 13th entry in the James Bond franchise — Octopussy (1983)! Roger Moore is back as 007, and this time he’s going full circus mode. Killer clowns, Fabergé eggs, Cold War chaos, and an island run by an all-female cult led by the mysterious Octopussy — what more could you ask for?
We break down the highs, the lows, and the wonderfully bizarre tone of this fan-dividing Bond film. Is Octopussy campy fun or a franchise misfire? Let’s get into it.
And to pair with all that wild energy? We’re sipping on Pikesville Straight Rye Whiskey — a bold 110-proof Kentucky rye that’s spicy, complex, and perfect for a spirited Bond adventure.
Find out if it’s a sipper worth stocking or if it’s better left behind like a rogue Soviet general.
Pour yourself a dram and join the conversation as we talk Bond, bourbon (well, rye), and cinematic spectacle.
