Bottled in Bond #21 - Licence to Kill (1989)
March 19, 2020 00:00 - 1 hour - 63.7 MBNo, Licence is not spelled wrong it's just spelled British-like. Bond goes rogue to avenge Felix in a very 80's way...we're talking sharks, drugs, boats, bar fights, budweisers, and more. Not to mention the strangest cameo I've seen in a while courtesy of Wayne Newton.
Bottled in Bond #22 - The World is Not Enough (1999)
March 19, 2020 00:00 - 1 hour - 73.8 MBA 15 minute boat/balloon chase to open the movie, Denise Richards as Dr. Christmas Jones, A masterclass in ouchy faces by Pierce...this movie is everything and nothing at the same time.

Ladies Choice #7 - Jawbreaker (1999)
February 23, 2020 00:00 - 1 hour - 42.6 MBSarah's choice this time, it's a dark teen comedy that delivers neither darkness nor comedy. Had to watch this piece of garbage twice. Watch at your own risk, you will lose brain cells.
Bottled in Bond #20 - Skyfall (2012)
January 28, 2020 00:00 - 1 hour - 81.6 MBThis one ran a tad long but there was a lot to discuss about one of the top 007 movies of all time. Nearly zero gadgets, tons of grip strength, a new M, a new Q, a new Moneypenny, a great villain, and the best theme song of all time...Skyfall is truly great...except for that CGI scorpion.
Hasta La Vista Whiskey #22 - Big Trouble in Little China (1986)
January 28, 2020 00:00 - 1 hour - 68.6 MBJack Burton...Who?...ME! JACK BURTON! Welcome to our first non-Arnold episode for Hasta in which we explore the utter madness of BTILC. It has action, comedy, martial arts, guns, James Hong, Wind, fire, all that kind of thing!...kind of like a six demon bag!

January 12, 2020 00:00 - 1 hour - 73.8 MBArnold is a sheriff who goes undercover in the Chicago mob...there is drunk baking...triple breasted suits...old ass Cadillacs...it's a relatively average Arnold movie but goddamn that quarry shootout was a delight

November 23, 2019 00:00 - 2 hours - 86.6 MBIts another commentary, this time for the campiest Bond movie of all time and a personal favorite. This movie has a lot: Faberge Eggs, Soviets, Auctions, Fake Horses, Knife throwing circus henchmen whom are also twins, Bond in clown white, and lastly and certainly most least a horrible depiction of the culture of India. Literally, they hit every terrible cliche.
Whiskey Wednesday #131 - Cocktails and Dreams

Ladies Choice #6 - Hereditary (2018)
November 23, 2019 00:00 - 1 hour - 71.7 MBWe delve into a film so nonsensical from my point of view that the only thing that makes sense is that Gabriel Byrne plays the good guy...which of course makes zero sense. It's a horror movie that apparently good but I sure don't get it.
Hasta La Vista Whiskey #20 - End of Days (1999) - Commentary
October 18, 2019 00:00 - 2 hours - 84.3 MBCommentary track for Arnie's religious action/horror romp...we could have spent years talking about his breakfast shake...its a commentary track so it might be unlistenable...who knows?

September 29, 2019 00:00 - 1 hour - 62.5 MBDesmond Llewellyn's first appearance, great gadgets, good fights, lovely ladies, and a dynamite train sequence. This truly is one of the best, if not the best 007 movie.

August 20, 2019 00:00 - 2 hours - 96.4 MBPierce's last turn as 007 surfs into the Korean DMZ for a true mess of a movie. We look at Halle Berry's character in confusion, when does 007 surf and then skysurf? Join us won't you for a truly baffling series of choices in this early 2000s Bond movie
Bottled in Bond #15 - Dr. No (1961)
July 22, 2019 00:00 - 1 hour - 71 MBThe very first 007 movie is very clearly three acts...boring...creepy...exciting. We have a lot to talk about in this very stylish bond entry. Is Connery wearing a wig? Is Felix Leiter a more legit snack than Bond? Why did Quarrel turn into a wimp in the 3rd act? Dr. No's hands are made of...what exactly? And how we want to stay at Dr. No's bauxite mine hotel
Hasta La Vista Whiskey #19 - Killing Gunther (2017)
July 13, 2019 00:00 - 1 hour - 52.8 MBIts an Arnold movie where Arnold doesn't appear until the 3rd act. This Taran Killam film is an absolutely delightful mockumentary that shows a side of Arnold never seen before...just watch it and listen ding dongs
Bottled in Bond #14 - Quantum of Solace (2008)
June 15, 2019 00:00 - 1 hour - 79.1 MBThe orange period of James Bond films, this movie was better than we remember. Great action, beautifully shot, and terrible script/writing. The writer's strike didn't help this one but overall a serviceable and entertaining Bond movie...even though there was still no Q.
Hasta La Vista Whiskey #18 - Predator (1987)
May 25, 2019 00:00 - 1 hour - 83.7 MBIn Arnold's "remake" of the Magnificent Seven, we get arguably his best movie. Choppas...Machismo...Pecs...Heat Seeking Vision...Complicated Suppressed Love Story...The tell tale shimmer...Carl Weathers getting got...and most importantly being swole and yolked!

May 22, 2019 00:00 - 2 hours - 137 MBFor the first time, we elect to watch the movie together and record our own DVD commentary. 1977's the Spy Who Loved Me with vaguely revolves around a villain whom wants to create a new Atlantis by stealing...you guessed it...nuclear weapons from both the US and USSR.

Bottled in Bond #12 - Live & Let Die (1973)
May 04, 2019 00:00 - 2 hours - 127 MBVoodoo! Snakes! Crocs! Heroin! It's Roger Moore's 1st turn as James Bond and spoiler alert he was already 45 years old.

Hasta La Vista Whiskey #17 - The Last Stand (2013)
April 07, 2019 00:00 - 1 hour - 68 MBIt's Arnold's first movie back from being Governor and Commander and Chief of the 6th largest economy in the world...and...he...is...leather-y. Arnold is Ray Owens, border-town Sheriff who is hell bent on stopping cartel lord Gabriel Cortez from making it across the Rio Grande in his souped up Vette...Arnold shoots a guy in the gourd whilst falling of the roof of a 2 story building...what's not to like?

March 27, 2019 00:00 - 1 hour - 56.5 MBSean Connery returns for his 3rd turn as 007, this time pitted against Auric Goldfinger whom...you guessed it, has a passing interest in gold.

Put on your finest terrycloth romper, buckle up, and join us won't you for GOLDFINGER!
Hasta La Vista Whiskey #16 - True Lies (1994)
March 27, 2019 00:00 - 1 hour - 66.7 MBArnold is officially at peak Arnold as Harry Tasker, elite agent of Omega Sector! Arguably Arnold's best overall movie, we get a healthy dose of Tom Arnold, Jamie Lee Curtis, Tia Carrere, and Bill Paxton at his sleaziest. Harrier jump jets, guns blazing, tangos, and VERY obvious stunt doubles. This movie has all of that and more
Bottled in Bond #10 - Tomorrow Never Dies (1997)
February 27, 2019 00:00 - 1 hour - 94.2 MBPierce Brosnan is back as the Bond who can't decide if he is a campy lover or a remorseless killing machine. This time 007 must stop a Mass Media Magnate whom is starting WW3 in order to sell...more newspapers? One of the most conflicted Bond movies yet but overall a decent watch and a fun movie to BS about
Ladies Choice #5 - Bird Box (2018)
February 27, 2019 00:00 - 1 hour - 80.2 MBSandy B kicks ass saving kids from ghosts?...Regardless we had a tremendous time talking about the first scary/horror/apocalyptic movie for the old LC

Bottled in Bond #9 - The Man with the Golden Gun (1974)
January 26, 2019 00:00 - 1 hour - 78.8 MBThe world's greatest assassin is after 007 but don't worry he is not completely geriatric yet! Bond travels to Macau, Hong Kong, and some islands to take the fight to Scaramanga and Nick Nack...This might be the most average Bond movie we've done yet, but that doesn't mean it wasn't fun.
Hasta La Vista Whiskey #15 - Hercules in New York (1969)
January 18, 2019 00:00 - 1 hour - 108 MBWe delve into Arnold's first movie ever, billed as Arnold Strong and dubbed by a semi-British man, this movie feels like a roller coaster run by the carnies...its either an excuse for Arnold to take off his shirt 17 times or it's a heart felt love story between Hercules (Arnold) and his possible bottom Pretzie...Pretzi?...He is small and slings pretzels. Chariot chases, bear fights, drinking problems, Arnold cold cocking people, shitty lightning bolts, and bouzouki music for days...this mov...
Ladies Choice #3 - Legally Blonde (2001)
December 31, 2018 00:00 - 1 hour - 137 MBThe completely not true story of Elle Woods, a CULA sorority sister whom takes Harvard Law by storm...Suspend your understanding of reality because this movie is absurd but the ladies love it...the men get yelled at...typical ladie's choice
