Whine And A MovieEpisode 415: "Ready or Not," Here I ComeThis is a new view for A.J. and a repeat for Aleigh. We watch "Ready or Not," a 2019 thriller starring Samara Weaving, not Margot Robbie. It's a fun little romp where a rich family tries to kill their newest member in a game of hide and seek. So cute.

We're just in time for the 25th anniversary of the series and knowing that we watched it when it premiered makes us feel old as hell. The movie is great. The topical comedy is so spot on that it still applies. We pair the movie with 2019 Rock View Reserve Pinot Noir which we absolutely loved.Metacritic Score: 73/100Movie Sync Notes: We watched "South Park: Bigger, Longer, & Uncut" on Paramount+. We start "South Park" 11:06 into the pod and push play on part two 58:49 into the pod.2022-08-121h 36Whine And A MovieEpisode 324: "The Craft" Mac & CheeseThis episode we watch 1996's "The Craft." It's the cultural staple that served us "Ya scared Sarah?" "I bind you Nancy." and "These are my gifts!" This was definitely the piece of media that made us want to call the corners. What would we do without it? We pair it with a California Cab Sauv from Witching Hour. Blessed be.Metacritic Score: 55/100Movie Sync Notes: We watched "The Craft" on Amazon Video. We start "The Craft" 8:17 into the pod and push play on part two 1:04:13 into the pod.2022-07-291h 58Whine And A MovieEpisode 323: "FernGully: The Last Rainforest" CafeFernGully was in regular rotation in our house when we were younger. I feel like it's one of the few well received animated movies for kids that wasn't made by Disney in the 90's. We personally think it's the sole inspiration for the movie Avatar because it's...the same story. We pair it with The Arborist from Vina Robles.Metacritic Score: 67/100Movie Sync Notes: We watched "FernGully: The Last Rainforest" on Amazon Video.

Girl sees boy. Boy almost drowns. Girl saves boy. Girl changes her entire life to impress said boy. Boy completely dismisses her for another girl. Girls fight over boy. It's The Little Mermaid! The VHS I wore out as a child. We aren't Disney stans, but we are kind of obsessed with this movie. We pair it with Plungerhead Old Vine Zinfandel. It's weighty, dark, fruity, and balanced. Loved it. Metacritic Score: 88/100Movie Sync Notes: We watched "The Little Mermaid" on Disney+. We start "The Little Mermaid" 3:46 into the pod a...2022-07-011h 28Whine And A MovieEpisode 321: "Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle" Bit My FingerWe love "Charlie's Angels," so we're happy there's a sequel. What more could you want out of life? It's so over the top in comparison to the first outing, but it's truly just as fun...even if the physics make little to no sense. Most of the characters from the first movie are back, so it feels like an extension of the story more than anything else and we are here for it. We pair is with a 2020 bourbon barrel aged Cabernet Sauvignon called Barrel Heist and we kind of loved it. Why are we suckers for anything that...2022-06-171h 56Whine And A MovieEpisode 320: Your Mind Is In "Disturbia"This week we watch "Disturbia," a modernized "Rear Window" of sorts starring Shia LaBeouf. The movie touts a solid cast and creative use of locations to retell an old story but with an exciting coat of fresh paint. We love it. We pair it with See Saw 2019 Chardonnay form Australia. Twas lovely. It had some interesting tasting notes that we don't usually find in a Chard but it worked. Metacritic Score: 62/100Movie Sync Notes: We rented "Disturbia" on Amazon Video.

"Scooby-Doo" is a fun and mostly stupid visit to the world of the Scooby Gang set in the early 2000s. The cast is actually pretty ridiculous. Did they all nail it? No. But the effort is appreciated. We pair it with Ridgeback from Lion Hound. It's a red blend of shiraz, merlot, Grenache, cab sauv, and mourvedre. It was definitely red.Metacritic Score: 35/100Movie Sync Notes: We rented "Scooby-Doo" on Amazon Video. We start "Scooby-Doo" 9:15 into the pod and push play on part two 1:04:49 into...2022-05-131h 44Whine And A MovieEpisode 318: Hungry Hungry "Hunger Games"We felt like it was time to jump into some movies based on YA novels. It was going happen eventually. "The Hunger Games" is shockingly good, in a way that you're surprised that it wasn't total garbage. It's pretty faithful to the first book of the series and the acting is sufficient. Plus it gave us the gift of "That is mahogany!" which just keeps on giving. We fittingly pair it with a Pinot Noir called Tribute.Metacritic Score: 68/100Movie Sync Notes: We stream "The Hunger Games" on Amazon Video. We start "The Hunger Games" 8:15...2022-04-282h 29Whine And A MovieEpisode 317: "Big Fish" Little Lies"Big Fish" is 100% a movie that makes us cry every single time. Are we gluttons for emotional punishment? Maybe. But the movie is so good! It's a great story that uses the fantastical to help people come to terms with their history and deal with loss. And it was made into a Broadway musical, which we're still mad about not seeing. We pair it with a Cabernet Sauvignon from True Myth.Metacritic Score: 58/100Movie Sync Notes: We stream "Big Fish" Netflix. We start "Big Fish" 10:07 into the pod and push play on part two 1:19:00 into...2022-04-152h 18Whine And A MovieEpisode 316: "Scream" Five...Alive!We're fiiiinally finishing the Scream franchise with "Scream" (2022)!!!! Until they release Scream 6 in 2023. We'll cross that bridge when we get to it. "Scream" (2022) is so new that this both of our first time's watching it, so there's a lot of goops and gaggery. I'm not gonna spoil anything, but we loved it. We pair the movie with 19 Crimes The Warden, a red blend that we had to try out since we have a bottle of 19 Crimes for every Scream movie.Metacritic Score: 60/100Movie Sync Notes: We stream "Scream" (2022) on Paramount+.

This movie is peak Addams. It reimagines the beloved gothic family for a new generation with the perfect cast. I mean Anjelica Huston as Morticia? Amazing. Christina Ricci as Wednesday? Iconic. We pair the movie with a Cabernet Sauvignon from Little Black Dress.Metacritic Score: 57/100Movie Sync Notes: We streamed "The Addams Family" on Netflix.

"The Naked Gun" is so good. Watch it. Watch all three of them. Watch anything with Leslie Nielsen. They're all worth it. But "The Naked Gun" holds a special place in our hearts. In the same style as "Airplane," this movie nails slapstick. We pair the movie with a Chardonnay from Straight Shooter. Metacritic Score: 76/100Movie Sync Notes: We streamed "The Naked Gun" on Paramount Plus.

"High Tension" is the craziest horror movie we've watched on WAAM so far. It's an interesting watch. It hits hard and fast. Plus it's French, and you know their horror movies are always twisted. We pair it with a Red Blend called Primal Roots that we got into. The movie is also called "Switchblade Romance" in some places which I just learned right now.Metacritic Score: 42/100Movie Sync Notes: We rented "High Tension" on Amazon Prime Video.

It's splashy and colorful with great music and tons of well-known actors. They manage to pull off a comic book style movie that actually looks like a comic book. And they won a few oscars while doing it. We pair the movie with Boom Boom Syrah from Washington State. Metacritic Score: 68/100Movie Sync Notes: We watch "Dick Tracy" on Amazon Prime.

It's a fun ride with a great cast of young-ish actors from an array of popular franchises that deliver some funny moments while still keeping a decent amount of gore. Where the story really shines is in the exploration of the friendship between the two lead characters: the babysitter and the babysat. We pair it with When & Where presents The Kids Are Finally Asleep. It's a 2020 Chardonnay that we found to be very light and accessible.Rotten Tomatoes Score: 72%Movie S...2022-01-211h 34Lost In The Woods With FamesLate Night Roundtable with AleighFames sits down with Aleigh a former guest and his fiancée to talk to Lost People and Famettes.

It's a true classic that laid the groundwork for so many movies that came after it. It's over 40 years old and people are still quoting tons of its lines whether they know the source material or not. I mean every line of the movie is a joke. It's deep and it's real. We pair it with a lovely 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon from Flying Cloud in Paso Robles, California. We highly recommend it. Metacritic Score: 78/100Movie Sync Notes: We rented "Airplane!" on Amazon V...2021-12-311h 36Whine And A MovieEpisode 309: "The Nightmare Before Christmas" With The KranksIt's that holiday time of year again. So to celebrate we're watching "The Nightmare Before Christmas." The movie that everyone seems to have a tattoo of. It's a good movie so I totally get it. We pair it with a pretty generic Italian Christmas Red, because "when in Rome" and all that. Metacritic Score: 82/100Movie Sync Notes: We watched "The Nightmare Before Christmas" on Disney+.

It never does. It's completely stupid in the best possible way. It's stylized. It's funny. And the music is great. We pair it with The Grape Abduction Company's Orange Blend Awesome Mix Vol. 1. It's a different wine than we're usually into, but it had an amazing label featuring an iridescent UFO so how could we not drink it?Metacritic Score: 52/100Movie Sync Notes: We watched "Mars Attacks" on Netflix.

Weird right? It's "Freaky Friday"! The good one with Lindsay and Jamie. It's approachable and funny with good performances by most of the cast, especially Ms. Curtis. We pair it with When & Where presents Friday at Exactly 5:01pm. It's a 2020 Chenin Blanc that was definitely easy to drink.Metacritic Score: 70/100Movie Sync Notes: We watched "Freaky Friday" on Disney+.

"Wild Things" is a crazy ride full of twists and turns and hilarious dialogue. If it were made today it would spawn countless memes because it's just that kind of movie. We really feel like they all thought they were making a hard-hitting film when making this movie. We pair it with (surprise, surprise) Wild Thing Old Vine Zinfandel. Bye Mister Lombardoooo!Metacritic Score: 52/100Movie Sync Notes: We watched the movie on Amazon.

This movie definitely has a vibe. Lots of production value, over the top action sequences, blue tint, and slow motion. It was a product of the early 2000s action movie formula and we are so appreciative. We pair it with a Pinot Noir from Bloodroot. Metacritic Score: 42/100Movie Sync Notes: We watched "Underworld" on Netflix. We start "Underworld" 4:38 into the pod and push play on part two 1:07:42 into the pod.2021-10-222h 03Whine And A MovieEpisode 304: King of the "Silent Hill"It's Halloween Season and to celebrate we're dipping into our horror-esque movie queue. First up is "Silent Hill," based on the video game series of the same name. Honestly, people gave this movie crap for not being the most faithful adaptation, but honestly it's not a bad movie. The production design is legit and the effort is real. And now we all want to be undead nurses. We pair it with a cabernet from Juicy Hill that only cost $7.99. This may have been the best wine we've had at this price point. We also enjoyed the minimalism of the...2021-10-082h 10Whine And A MovieEpisode 303: My "Anaconda" Don'tWe don't know if "Anaconda" was a symptom of a bigger "when animals attack" problem in movies or if was the start of the trend. Either way we're here for it. What we're not here for is Angelina Jolie's dad's weird accent. We're pretty sure he just made it up as he went along. We pair "Anaconda" with Predator Old Vine Red. It was...interesting. Our working theory is that we got a bad bottle. Metacritic Score: 37/100Movie Sync Notes: We found "Anaconda" on Hulu with a regular subscription. Yay!

Matt Stone and Trey Parker take everything they learned from "South Park" and rip everyone apart in "Team America: World Police" and we are here for it. Just the idea of doing a feature length comedy with marionettes is worth the price of admission. We pair it with a cabernet sauvignon called The Federalist because the label is so American that we couldn't pass it up. Metacritic Score: 64/100Movie Sync Notes: We watch the movie on Netflix.

Whine And A MovieEpisode 226: I Am Gonna "Kill Bill Vol. 2"We're wrapping up Kill Bill and Season 2 of Whine and a Movie all in one episode. When it's right, it's right. Kill Bill Vol. 2 has it all. There's fight scenes, emotion, backstabbing, eye plucking, astonishingly long training sequences. What's not to love? We pair it with a Riesling of all things from Kung Fu Girl, and it was so good. We were worried that it would taste like alcoholic sugar water and it absolutely does not. 100% would buy again.Metacritic Score: 83/100Movie Sync Notes: We rented the movie on Amazon Prime.

We pair it with a 2019 The Wolftrap Syrah which has a great name and was honestly pretty good.Tomatometer Score: 89%Movie Sync Notes: We rented the movie on Amazon Prime.

Whine And A MovieEpisode 224: Generation "X-Men""X-Men" jumpstarted then current superhero movie boom...and then the series faded into obscurity. But the first outing is really good considering it came out in 2000. Sure, "X2" is considered the peak of the franchise, but it had to start somewhere. We can't believe they got so many heavy-hitters in this movie. We pair it with 2019 Evolution Pinot Noir from the Willamette Valley.Metacritic Score: 64/100Movie Sync Notes: We rented the movie on Amazon Prime. We start "X-Men" 7:58 into the pod, and push play on part two 1:12:08 into the pod.2021-07-161h 52
Whine And A MovieEpisode 223: Guess "Who Framed Roger Rabbit?"This episode we watch "Who Framed Roger Rabbit?" the well-loved 1988 Robert Zemeckis hit that still holds up today. Shockingly, the animation still looks great. Even more shockingly, it's still funny. To say it aged well would be doing it a disservice. It just hasn't aged. But we have and that's gross. We pair it with a 2013 Killibinbin Seduction Cabernet Sauvignon. This isn't the first time we've tried Killibinbin and it probably won't be the last.Metacritic Score: 83/100Movie Sync Notes: We watch the movie on Disney+. We start "Who Framed Roger...2021-07-021h 52
Whine And A MovieEpisode 222: "13 Ghosts" Going on 30This episode we watch the 2001 reimagining of the horror classic "Thirteen Ghosts" starring Shaggy and Monk. It's got some good ideas and seriously stylized production design. We live. We pair it with Juggernaut Russion River Pinot Noir, which I am honestly going out and buying again this afternoon. It's one of our priciest bottles at $19.99, but it was worth it. Metacritic Score: 30/100Movie Sync Notes: We rented the movie on Amazon Prime. We start "Thirteen Ghosts" 5:54 into the pod, and push play on part two 1:04:37 into the pod.2021-06-181h 47
Whine And A MovieEpisode 221: Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice, "Beetlejuice"We're finally watching "Beetlejuice." You've heard of it, right? Sure it's a movie about people dying, but it's all in good fun. At least they get a handbook. At this point the movie is a classic with a probable sequel in the works. We're excited. We pair the movie with Boneshaker, a 2019 Zinfandel that actually ended up being great. Metacritic Score: 70/100Movie Sync Notes: We rented the movie on Amazon Prime. We start "Beetlejuice" 3:07 into the pod, and push play on part two 51:33 into the pod.2021-06-041h 37Lost In The Woods With FamesEpisode 2 Special Guest AleighThis week podcast we have Aleigh an urban ecology graduate student. Discussion about science, bridges, elevator to the moon and more. 2021-05-251h 25
Whine And A MovieEpisode 220: Sugar and "Spice World""Spice World" doesn't need a cute introduction. It's "Spice World." It's amazing. We always want (really really want) more of it. And it actually looks like we might with mutterings about a new Spice Girls movie in the works. But where is our damn US leg of the reunion tour?! We pair the movie with a lovely 2019 Red Blend called Silk & Spice...because spice. Metacritic Score: 32/100Movie Sync Notes: We purchased and watched the movie on Youtube. We start "Spice World" 10:57 into the pod, push play on part two 46:06 into the pod, and...2021-05-211h 46
Whine And A MovieEpisode 219: I'm With "The In Crowd"Let's set the scene: A beautiful beachside country club. A warm, boozy summer. A new girl trying to fit in. Conventionally "attractive" people all over the place. A potentially unhinged murderer hell-bent on doing anything she can to maintain her queen bee status. Sounds like a summer of fun! But that's "The In Crowd." Where the rich kids keep down the other rich kids. It's a fun watch. Plus, it shows you a whole new way to apply lip gloss, which looks cool but seems impractical. We pair it with Cameleon, a 2018 Chardonnay from Mendoza, Argentina. Metacritic S...2021-05-071h 55
Whine And A MovieEpisode 218: The OG "Mortal Kombat"::Insert Mortal Kombat Scream Here::Adults everywhere were pissed that a popular video game was full of so much violence that people decided to make a movie about it and we're all grateful. Mortal Kombat (1995) is a shlocky action film with some terrible dialogue that actually has some decent fight sequences. Sure it feels like it should be a SyFy original movie called "Demon Fight Saga Tournament" or something stupid but we love it anyway. And the soundtrack? I don't want to live in a world without it. We pair it with a 2014 The Immortal Zin. The label...2021-04-231h 43
Whine And A MovieEpisode 217: Simply the "Best In Show"Such. A. Good. Movie. It's a memorable mockumentary chronicling the cut-throat world of dog shows. It's a master class in comedic delivery and timing. And the cast is EVERYTHING. We tried pairing it with Double Dog Dare Cabernet Sauvignon, which didn't work out so well. But we followed it up with Time Waits for No One by Finca Bacara from the Jumilla region of Spain and it was great.Movie Sync Notes: We watch a version the movie which was purchased YouTube but then we move to Amazon Prime because YouTube got temperamental. The run time on...2021-04-091h 39
Whine And A MovieEpisode 216: United States of "America's Sweethearts"It's time for "America's Sweethearts." Two of the biggest movies stars in the country break up and lie to the press about their relationship just so they can sell a crappy movie. So I guess it's based on real life? There are sooo many people in this movie. Walken. Cusak. Crystal. Roberts. Zeta-Jones. But I would bet no one remembers it, which is a shame because it's pretty funny. It's a good middle-of-the-day-with-nothing-to-do-but-watch-a-mindless-movie movie. And it's free on HBO Max! We rightfully pair it with a Cabernet Sauvignon from Slow Press.Movie Sync Notes: We watch the...2021-03-261h 51
Whine And A MovieEpisode 215: "The Avengers" the Good OneEveryone loves "The Avengers" right? Well, we're finally watching it. And by "it" we mean "The Avengers" from 1998 starring Uma Thurman. It's hokey and awesome and should be on your rainy day watch list. Spies in the 90's were clearly flawless. And they're British? Obviously! We pair the movie with Tiny Umbrellas Cabernet Sauvignon. It was...a choice.Movie Sync Notes: We watch the movie on HBO Max. We start "The Avengers" 6:07 into the pod, push play on part two 49:24 into the pod, and push play on part three 1:30:48 into the pod.2021-03-121h 37
Whine And A MovieEpisode 214: Whine and "The Brady Bunch Movie"Revamping an old favorite by making fun of the things that made it popular? Always a good idea. And "The Brady Bunch Movie" is the perfect example. The enduring power of "Sure, Jan" is a testament to how good this movie is. We pair it with an awesome Cabernet Sauvignon by Big Six that was aged in bourbon barrels. This is our second bourbon-aged wine on the show and we need more. They're so layered. Movie Sync Notes: We watch the movie on Amazon Prime. We start "The Brady Bunch Movie" 4:46 into the pod, and...2021-02-261h 36
Whine And A MovieEpisode 213: "Chicago" HopeCome on babe, why don't we paint the town? And by "paint the town" we mean watch a movie. Specifically "Chicago," the semi-controversial pick for Best Picture. The source material is excellent. The movie is a star-studded event type film that everyone loves to sing along to. So what's the harm in giving it a watch? We paired it with Block Nine 2019 Pinot Noir from California, which ended up being a good bottle. I feel like I need to say "and all that jazz."Movie Sync Notes: We watch the Diamond Edition of the movie...2021-02-121h 56
Whine And A MovieEpisode 212: "Jawbreaker" You Got the Best of MeLiz Purr is the cat's meow. But now she's dead so let's watch a movie about it. Who doesn't want to watch a comedy from the 90's about a group of girls that accidentally murder their best friend who just also happened to be the most popular girl in school and then they try to cover it up with a makeover? That's "Jawbreaker" for you. We paired it with Candy, a delightful California Dry Rosé. Movie Sync Notes: We watch the movie on Amazon Prime. We start "Jawbreaker" 5:52 into the pod, and push play on p...2021-01-291h 33
Whine And A MovieEpisode 211: Oh oh oh "The Sweetest Thing"Filthy comedies featuring mostly female casts don't seem to get a fair shake, but "The Sweetest Thing" (featuring Cameron Diaz, Christina Applegate, & Selma Blair) has so many solid jokes that people should be paying attention. Sure the movie has some weird pacing issues, but you'll get over it because it's so damn funny. We pair it with a bottle of Ladies Night Cabernet Sauvignon.Movie Sync Notes: We watch the movie on Amazon Prime. Note that we watch regular version, not the unrated extended version. We start "The Sweetest Thing" 6:20 into the pod, and push p...2021-01-151h 38
Whine And A MovieEpisode 210: "Bring It On" Like Donkey KongWe're finally watching "Bring It On!" Omg it has been like literal years but we did it. It's the seminole cheerleading film that Roger Ebert allegedly once called the "Citizen Kane of cheerleader movies." How we haven't burned through dvds of this movie over the years is beyond me. It's light. It's funny. And we suspect it inspired some fast talking high school movies like "Mean Girls" and "Easy A," but we're mostly guessing. We paired it with a bottle of Dark Horse Big Red Blend. It's a very accessible wine that you can totally find anywhere. They have...2021-01-011h 44
Whine And A MovieEpisode 209: "What Lies Beneath" 🤷🤷♀️"Lies" indeed. The movie is full of them. Don't listen to those people next door Michelle Pfeiffer. Don't listen to Harrison Ford either. They're all liars. And confusing liars at that. A woman is crying out for Michelle to help save her from her husband but then is all, "It's because I love him so much." Ok girl. You do you. Either way, we are here for your drama. It's also a thriller/ghost story starring a Nancy Meyers-type house. You will not regret watching it. We pair it with a bottle of wine that is a lovely donation...2020-12-182h 18
Whine And A MovieEpisode 208: "She's the Man" from U.N.C.L.E."Remember, inside every girl there's a boy." Some deep wisdom from "She's the Man." It's the fully fluff Amanda Bynes vehicle that was way better than it probably should have been. She really goes for it in this movie and it pays off. Is she winning awards for it? No. Did we laugh? Totally. We paired it with Gentleman's Collection 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon. Movie Sync Notes: We watched the movie on Amazon Prime. As of publishing it's available for free on HBO Max We start "She's the Man" 7:11 into the pod, and push play on part...2020-12-041h 58
Whine And A MovieEpisode 207: "Scary Movie" NightWe're purging ourselves of a deep dive on the "Scream" series by getting into "Scary Movie." Sure it's mostly "Scream" but it fully rips it apart and it's totally worth a watch. It's a great modern take on a spoof. We paired it with Prophecy Pinot Noir. It has a jester on the label so we figured it worked.Movie Sync Notes: We watched the movie on Amazon Prime. We start "Scary Movie" 4:17 into the pod, and push play on part two 56:20 into the pod.2020-11-201h 30
Whine And A MovieEpisode 206: For I "Scre4m"The "Scream" Series. It has been a journey, and it all ends here with "Scream 4." And Aleigh has never seen it because she's a full mess. It's a solid mainstream horror movie with some good old fashioned Ghostface slasher fun, but for a new generation. We have a good time watching it and you probably will too. Especially if you pair it with our final wine in the 19 Crimes series called The Uprising. We thought it would be a good fit because it's young kids rising up against their elders. Those no-good good-for-nothin' kids. Movie Sync...2020-11-061h 56
Whine And A MovieEpisode 205: We All "Scream 3""Scream 3," the movie that rounded out a trilogy that turned into a...five-ogy? Cinqogy? Pentology? Let's go with pentology. Or quintet. Regardless, this movie was the original end to the landmark "Scream" series. It's stupid and it's amazing. There are no rules anymore. Everything is crazy. And we are here for it. We pair it with another 19 Crimes red called The Banished for reasons that become clear by the end of the movie.Movie Sync Notes: We watched the movie on Amazon Prime. We start "Scream 3" 3:40 into the pod, and push play on part two 1:13:27...2020-10-231h 59
Whine And A MovieEpisode 204: You "Scream 2"It's time for Part Deux, as they say. We watch "Scream 2," the sequel that's twice as murdery as part one! Maybe it is. We're not sure. We didn't do the math. But it's a good slasher movie! And that's what the world needs right now. The world also needs some wine, so we're pairing the movie with some 19 Crimes The Punishment. Grab some wine and watch along with us.Movie Sync Notes: We watched the movie on Amazon Prime, but we found that it is available for free on tubi (but with commercial breaks). We start "Scream 2" 5:42...2020-10-092h 08
Whine And A MovieEpisode 203: I "Scream"Halloween season is already upon us! We decide to really lean into it this year and watch a full horror series...while drinking wine. We're watching all four "Scream" movies. Obviously, up first is "Scream." This meta-aware horror stand out managed to revitalize the slasher genre in the mid 1990's. It revamped the idea of the "opening kill," took teens seriously as characters, and managed to make us laugh a bit. How could we not watch it? We pair it with 19 Crimes Cali Red, which was pretty great. Movie Sync Notes: We watched the movie...2020-09-251h 52
Whine And A MovieEpisode 202: "Cabin In The Woods"-boro MurdersHalloween Season starts a little early with "Cabin In The Woods," the genre blending masterpiece from Joss Whedon. Sure it was shelved for like, years prior to release. That usually means the movie will be dead on arrival, but "Cabin" persevered and made us all smile, feel slightly confused, and then nod in approval. We pair this movie with The Show Cabernet Sauvignon. The name plays into the schtick and the label is a picture of the woods. Good right? Movie Sync Notes: We found the movie on Hulu. We start "Cabin In The Woods" 4:49...2020-09-111h 44
Whine And A MovieEpisode 201: "Mean Girls" Just Wanna Have FunJambo! Welcome to Season 2! We're hitting the ground running with "Mean Girls," which is kind of the perfect movie. At this point it's almost 20 years old and it's still funny and still quotable. If the future remembers only one thing from our generation I hope that it's "Mean Girls." We wanted to make it a bit of a celebration so we pair it with a sparkling wine called Pink. Movie Sync Notes: We watched the movie on Hulu with the Showtime plug-in. We push play on "Mean Girls" 4:09 into the pod. Because it's watchable with Showtime...2020-08-281h 44
Whine And A MovieEpisode 126: "Sucker Punch" Drunk LoveIt's the Season 1 Finale of Whine and a Movie! We can't believe it's been a whole year since we started. To celebrate, we're wrapping up the season with "Sucker Punch," the fantastical action/drama that def needs some love. It's got a solid storyline and great visuals. Sure it's not the best movie out there but it's worth it. We pair it with Raw Power 2015 Shiraz. Movie Sync Notes: We watched "Sucker Punch" on Netflix. We start the movie 4:46 into the pod and push play on part two at 1:13:52. Thank you all for y...2020-08-141h 57
Whine And A MovieEpisode 125: "Charlie's Angels" In The Outfield"Charlie's Angels" is a must watch for anyone that needs more Cameron Diaz in their life. Where did she go? We all liked you Cameron. Come back to us. We watch Cameron & Co. fly around all crazy and solve mysteries in this blockbuster from 2000. It's cute, funny, and actiony. Plus it has a 68% on Rotten Tomatoes, so like, get into it. We pair it with a 2015 Red Blend by Three Thieves, which was really drinkable. Thumbs up all around.Movie Sync Notes: We watch "Charlie's Angels" on Amazon because it is free with...2020-07-311h 40
Whine And A MovieEpisode 124: Sudden "Death Becomes Her"In this episode we watch "Death Becomes Her." It's a powerhouse of talent that seemed to gain popularity years after its release. Thank god because it is so funny. And really well made. And is full of so many quotable lines. It's amazing. Plus it has an Academy Award, so that gives it some clout. We don't want to spoil any of the story in case you haven't seen it, but all you need to know is that two very vain women will do anything to look beautiful forever. We paired it with an un-oaked Chardonnay by Sisters Forever...2020-07-171h 51
Whine And A MovieEpisode 123: Rockin' "Robin Hood: Men In Tights"Watching "Robin Hood: Men In Tights" as an adult is very different than watching it as a child. A lot of the humor is more...mature than we remember. But what were we expecting with a movie that largely revolves around a chastity belt? Speaking of chastity belts, we pair the movie with a Chardonnay by Unsullied. Movie Sync Notes: As of publishing, this movie is available on Hulu. We start the movie 2:59 into the pod and push play on part two at 1:08:32.2020-07-031h 48
Whine And A MovieEpisode 122: Everybody Wants To Be "The Cat In The Hat""I'm so excited!" That's a repeated quote from 2003's "The Cat In The Hat" live action feature film. It's ok if you don't get the reference. No one does. That's why you should watch it with us! Everyone crapped all over it and now you can too. The punch lines are pretty solid though. It stars Mike Myers, Kelly Preston, Alec Baldwin, Dakota Fanning, Spencer Breslin, and Sean Hayes forcing their way through a bunch of bs to truly achieve greatness. We deftly pair it with 9 Lives Malbec because we think we're clever. We watch the movie on Netflix...2020-06-191h 23
Whine And A MovieEpisode 121: "The Cell" Seashells By The SeashoreA woman goes missing and the only way to find her is to literally enter the mind of her newly-catatonic captor before time runs out. That's right. We're watching everyone's go-to feel-good movie "The Cell." It's a weird set up but it makes for so really interesting visuals that we think still hold up today. The journey itself is pretty good too. We decided to drink a cabernet sauvignon from Desert Wind Winery while watching. *Please Note that it explores domestic violence.* Movie Sync Notes: We start the movie 2:53 into the pod and push play on part...2020-06-051h 52
