Whine And A Movie - February 02, 2024 20:00 - 1 minute ★★★★★ - 2 ratingsWelcome to That Damned Book Club. We're searching for our new favorite horror novel. We do some research to find a new book for each episode, and just like a book club we talk through the book from cover to cover. We're talking themes, character development, writing style, full on nonsense. Read...
Episode 415: "Ready or Not," Here I Come
Whine And A Movie - November 26, 2023 21:00 - 2 hours ★★★★★ - 2 ratingsThis 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 pair it with a lovely 2021 Zinfandel appr...
Episode 414: "Coraline" Feels Like I'm Going To Lose My Mind
Whine And A Movie - September 22, 2023 04:00 - 1 hour ★★★★★ - 2 ratingsThis episode we dip into the not-so-kid-friendly children's movie "Coraline." Such a good book and such a good movie. It's so creepy and is exactly like the kinds of movies we grew up with. We honestly had no idea so many well known actors lent their voices to this project. We pair it with Melo...
Episode 413: "Wanted" Dead or Alive
Whine And A Movie - August 25, 2023 04:00 - 2 hours ★★★★★ - 2 ratingsWe honestly can't remember the last time we watched an Angelina Jolie movie. "Wanted" is a fun one. It mixes a great cast (who are honestly better than this movie gives them credit for) and smashes them into a 2000s-style wild action movie that has a handful of mystery. And exploding rats. We pa...
Episode 412: You Make Me Wanna "Scream 6"
Whine And A Movie - July 07, 2023 20:00 - 2 hours ★★★★★ - 2 ratingsWe're closing out the Scream saga (again) with "Scream 6." Woooo! We really enjoyed the previous installment, so why not keep going? We are both watching it for the first time so anything can happen. In keeping with tradition, we pair it with 19 Crimes Martha's Chard. It's a bit of a standard ch...
Season 10: The Green Death
Doctor Who: Fifty Years Ago - May 19, 2023 16:00How much does this story get right about pollution? Surprisingly much. Ben, Luke and Nick pick apart this Pertwee classic.
Episode 411: Burning Down "The House Bunny"
Whine And A Movie - April 28, 2023 04:00 - 1 hour ★★★★★ - 2 ratingsOk, so we're watching "The House Bunny" this episode and we didn't realize how many people were actually in this movie. Anna Faris, Emma Stone, Colin Hanks, Kat Dennings, Rumer Willis, Kathatine McPhee, and there are more. It's a cute little comedy that has more heart than you would think based ...
Season 10: Planet of the Daleks
Doctor Who: Fifty Years Ago - April 07, 2023 18:00This edition of the Doctor Who Fifty Years Ago podcast covers Planet of the Daleks, comparing the theme of warfare and the use of emotions in this story, and in more recent Who stories.
Episode 410: "I Know What You Did Last Summer" In A Bottle
Whine And A Movie - April 07, 2023 04:00 - 1 hour ★★★★★ - 2 ratingsKevin Williamson is at it again...getting teens killed by an over the top serial killer out in the middle of nowhere. This time it's in "I Know What You Did Last Summer," one of the more big-name teen slasher films of the late 90s/early 2000s era. The cast is chock full of popular actors of the ...
Episode 409: See "Saw"
Whine And A Movie - March 17, 2023 04:00 - 1 hour ★★★★★ - 2 ratingsThis week we watch the original "Saw." This movie has had a huge impact on the horror genre. Sure, the acting isn't amazing, but the ideas are big and they pay off. I feel like this movie may have been the the prime reason for the popularity of escape rooms. We pair it with Jigsaw Pinot Noir. It...
Season 10: Frontier in Space
Doctor Who: Fifty Years Ago - February 24, 2023 18:30In this episode of Doctor Who Fifty Years Ago, we look at what Frontier in Space can tell us about 1973, and dissect the "metaphor of the Master's plan" to spread fear and xenophobia.
Episode 408: "Heartbreakers" You Got the Best of Me
Whine And A Movie - February 17, 2023 05:00 - 2 hours ★★★★★ - 2 ratingsWe're not sure if anyone other than us remembers "Heartbreakers," so obviously it's right on brand for the pod. It tells the age old story of a mother and daughter who make a living swindling men out of money by pretending to fall in love with them. Along the way they get into a bunch of zany sh...
Season 10: Carnival of Monsters
Doctor Who: Fifty Years Ago - January 27, 2023 19:00In this episode of Doctor Who Fifty Years Ago, the podcast reviews Carnival of Monsters in the context of 1972, and Robert Holmes' view on history, bureaucracy, society and entertainment in his carny story.
Episode 407: Heart of "Glass Onion"
Whine And A Movie - January 20, 2023 05:00 - 2 hours ★★★★★ - 2 ratingsDaniel Craig is out here digging through another mystery. Much like "Knives Out," "Glass Onion" is modern Christie-style ensemble whodunit that hits it out of the park. The cast does really well with the material, and that's probably because the material is really good. We had a lot of fun post...
Episode 406: "Knives Out" of This World
Whine And A Movie - January 06, 2023 05:00 - 2 hours ★★★★★ - 2 ratingsThis episode is all about "Knives Out," the 2019 murder-mystery that kinda took the world by storm. It has a great cast, clearly a decent budget, awesome filming location, and great writing. There's plenty of humor peppered throughout as well. It's very Agatha Christie for the modern age which, ...
Season 10: The Three Doctors
Doctor Who: Fifty Years Ago - December 30, 2022 20:19The podcast returns to start looking at Season 10's stories, with plenty to discuss on the differences on the show and in the world in 1972 and 2022. We begin with the first multi-Doctor story, so here's multiple people to review and analyse it!
Episode 405: "Shrek" If You Know What I Did Last Friday the 13th
Whine And A Movie - December 16, 2022 05:00 - 1 hour ★★★★★ - 2 ratingsThey really nailed it with Shrek. That movie is still funny. And there are so many good performances in it. We can see why it spun off like thirty sequels and whatnot. We've never seen any of those, but the original is the way to go. We pair Shrek with Folklore Tinto from Castel Pujol. It is del...
Episode 403: "Dracula: Dead and Loving It"
Whine And A Movie - December 02, 2022 05:00 - 1 hour ★★★★★ - 2 ratingsWe're watching another Mel Brooks movie. This time it's the no-so-classic "Dracula: Dead and Loving It" from 1995. It's a fun little movie with a lot of the cast of "Robin Hood: Men In Tights" but with only like, half the laughs. But it's all ok because Leslie Nielsen is there and that's always ...
Episode 404: "Dracula: Dead and Loving It"
Whine And A Movie - December 02, 2022 05:00 - 1 hour ★★★★★ - 2 ratingsWe're watching another Mel Brooks movie. This time it's the no-so-classic "Dracula: Dead and Loving It" from 1995.

Episode 403: "Donnie Darko" No She Better Don't
Whine And A Movie - November 04, 2022 04:00 - 2 hours ★★★★★ - 2 ratingsIt's every millennial's cult-favorite-deeper-meaning-too-cool-to-understand movie "Donnie Darko." It's a really solid movie with good performances and is well shot. Nostalgia keeps it feeling almost magical, but remove that history and it could be a little hokey. It's probably still cool enough ...
Episode 402: "Shaun of the Dead" to Me
Whine And A Movie - October 14, 2022 04:00 - 1 hour ★★★★★ - 2 ratingsCan't believe it's Halloween time again. On one hand we're thankful because we're now too old for the summer heat. On the other hand another year is almost over and that means we're another year older. That means we have to watch "Shaun of the Dead." Def one of the best zombie movies out there. ...
Episode 401: Powering Through "The Haunting"
Whine And A Movie - September 30, 2022 04:00 - 2 hours ★★★★★ - 2 ratingsHappy Season 4 Premiere! Since it's Fall, we're kicking off our new season with a seasonally appropriate movie, "The Haunting." It's the 1999 reimagining of the the story originally told in the novel The Haunting of Hill House by Shirley Jackson, and it's distinctly late-90's. This movie was so...
Episode 326: Busy World of Richard "Scary Movie 2"
Whine And A Movie - August 26, 2022 04:00 - 1 hour ★★★★★ - 2 ratingsWe cannot express how much we love Scary Movie 2. It's a worthy successor. It may not be the pinnacle of the Scary Movie franchise (which is undoubtedly the first movie) but it's stupid and funny and parodies a good bunch of films. We want the Wayans brothers to make another movie in this genre ...

Episode 325: "South Park" & Rec
Whine And A Movie - August 12, 2022 04:00 - 1 hour ★★★★★ - 2 ratingsIt's time to get into "South Park: Bigger, Longer, & Uncut." 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 20...
Episode 324: "The Craft" Mac & Cheese
Whine And A Movie - July 29, 2022 04:00 - 1 hour ★★★★★ - 2 ratingsThis 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 fro...
Episode 323: "FernGully: The Last Rainforest" Cafe
Whine And A Movie - July 15, 2022 04:00 - 1 hour ★★★★★ - 2 ratingsFernGully 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 Th...
Episode 322: "The Little Mermaid" In Manhattan
Whine And A Movie - July 01, 2022 04:00 - 1 hour ★★★★★ - 2 ratingsIt's that old classic story. 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...
Episode 321: "Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle" Bit My Finger
Whine And A Movie - June 17, 2022 04:00 - 1 hour ★★★★★ - 2 ratingsWe 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 l...
Episode 320: Your Mind Is In "Disturbia"
Whine And A Movie - May 27, 2022 04:00 - 1 hour ★★★★★ - 2 ratingsThis 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. ...
