Midnight Movie Distillery

Welcome back to Midnight Movie Distillery where we watch the movies you've heard about… and drink the whiskey that helps us reckon with the ancient evil under the church. Tonight we're reviewing Prince of Darkness — the middle film of John Carpenter's self-described Apocalypse Trilogy, sandwiched between The Thing (1982) and In the Mouth of Madness (1995), which we reviewed a few weeks back on August 12. Donald Pleasence's Priest inherits an ancient canister of swirling green liquid in the basement of an abandoned Los Angeles church. He calls in Victor Wong's Prof. Birack and a team of graduate-student scientists to study it, and they unseal what turns out to be pure primordial anti-matter — Satan, essentially, as a subatomic physics problem. Alice Cooper cameos as a homeless zombie and commits a memorable murder with his own personal stage-prop bike. Filmed for $3M in 30 days as Carpenter's return to indie filmmaking after big-studio disappointments. Shot by Gary B. Kibbe — the same DP as In the Mouth of Madness. Same producer, same recurring Carpenter cast members. You'll also hear us referring back to Hungry, our episode from last week — that was recorded right before this one, so some callbacks slipped in. Paired with it: Shanky's Whip Irish Whiskey — a black whiskey-and-honey liqueur out of Ireland, in a bottle designed to look like something you'd find in a haunted schoolhouse. We came together on the movie. The pour is where things fell apart. So pour yourself something strong… don't crack any centuries-old canisters marked with warnings… and let's see how Carpenter's most philosophically ambitious horror still lands 39 years later. ▬ Contents of this video ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ 00:00 - Intro 03:16 - Alcohol Review 15:00 - Alcohol Barrel Rating 24:52 - Movie Review 29:45 - Movie Barrel Rating 50:47 - Outro ▬ Midnight Movie Distillery — watch it, drink it, rate it ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ All our horror + whiskey reviews: midnightmoviedistillery.com #midnightmoviedistillery #podcaster #podcasts #horrorpodcast #horrorjunkie #horrormovie #horrorfan #horror #horrormovies #classichorror #80shorror #princeofdarkness #johncarpenter #apocalypsetrilogy #thething #inthemouthofmadness #donaldpleasence #alicecooper #victorwong #jamesonparker #dennisdun #cosmichorror #whiskey #whisky #whiskeylife #whiskeytasting #irishwhiskey #shankyswhip

Welcome back to Midnight Movie Distillery where we watch the movies you've heard about… and drink the whiskey that helps us stay out of the swamp. Tonight we're reviewing Hungry — James Nunn's Louisiana-bayou creature feature about tourists on a swamp tour looking for a fabled monster alligator who instead find a rampaging hippopotamus lurking beneath the water. Yes: a hippo. In Louisiana. Which sounds absurd but is actually a legitimate real-world story — exotic pets escape into the American South every so often, and hippos kill roughly 500 people a year in Africa, more than lions and crocodiles combined. Madison Davenport leads. Joaquim de Almeida (Fast Five, Clear and Present Danger) is inexplicably in the cast. Austin Wintory — best known for scoring the video game Journey — wrote the music. First theatrical hippo horror movie in memory, and probably a while. Paired with it: Sazerac 6 Year Rye Whiskey — the New Orleans workhorse rye — plus, since we were doing Louisiana, an actual Sazerac cocktail made with it as our second pour. Two rounds because the movie earned it. We stayed close on the rye. The cocktail is where things got interesting — one of us was ordering another; one of us was walking away from the first. So pour yourself something strong… stay on the tour boat when the guide says stay on the tour boat… and let's see if the novel monster carries a movie that critics were mixed on. ▬ Contents of this video ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ 00:00 - Intro 01:08 - Alcohol Review (Sazerac 6 Rye) 08:40 - Alcohol Barrel Rating (Sazerac 6 Rye) 26:20 - Alcohol Barrel Rating (Sazerac Cocktail) 30:19 - Movie Review 34:00 - Movie Barrel Rating 45:00 - Outro ▬ Midnight Movie Distillery — watch it, drink it, rate it ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ All our horror + whiskey reviews: midnightmoviedistillery.com #midnightmoviedistillery #podcaster #podcasts #horrorpodcast #horrorjunkie #horrormovie #horrorfan #horror #horrormovies #2026horror #hungry #hungrymovie #jamesnunn #madisondavenport #joaquimdealmeida #louisiana #bayou #hippo #creaturefeature #austinwintory #journeygame #signatureentertainment #whiskey #whisky #whiskeylife #whiskeytasting #ryewhiskey #sazerac #sazerac6year #sazeraccocktail

Welcome back to Midnight Movie Distillery where we watch the movies you've heard about… and drink the whiskey that helps us survive our neighbors. Tonight we're reviewing Hold the Fort — William Bagley's 74-minute suburban horror-comedy that premiered at Fantasia 2025 and had every genre-press outlet using words like "silly fun" and "punches above its weight." Lucas and Jenny move into "Gruber Hills," a copy-and-paste housing development, and discover their HOA has a rather more literal definition of "keeping out the wrong element." When a hellmouth opens under the manicured lawns, the community has to fight off a fighting-game-style parade of monsters — each wave escalating in threat level — through the night. Cabin in the Woods meets Attack the Block meets Grabbers. Tight, unpretentious, and knows exactly what it's trying to be. Paired with it: Ardbeg Wee Beastie — an Islay Scotch aged five years, released as an entry point to the smoky peated end of the Ardbeg lineup. All three of us went the same way on this pour, which doesn't happen often on this show. So pour yourself something strong… don't take issue with your neighbor's mailbox height regulations… and let's see if Bagley's siege comedy holds the fort or gets overrun. ▬ Contents of this video ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ 00:00 - Intro 01:30 - Alcohol Review 09:10 - Alcohol Barrel Rating 20:08 - Movie Review 21:38 - Movie Barrel Rating 38:45 - Outro ▬ Midnight Movie Distillery — watch it, drink it, rate it ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ All our horror + whiskey reviews: midnightmoviedistillery.com #midnightmoviedistillery #podcaster #podcasts #horrorpodcast #horrorjunkie #horrormovie #horrorfan #horror #horrormovies #2025horror #holdthefort #williambagley #fantasiafest #hoa #suburbanhorror #cabininthewoods #attacktheblock #grabbers #chrismayers #haleyleary #horrorcomedy #whiskey #whisky #whiskeylife #whiskeytasting #scotch #scotchwhisky #islayscotch #islay #peatedscotch #ardbeg #ardbegweebeastie

Welcome back to Midnight Movie Distillery where we watch the movies you've heard about… and drink the whiskey that keeps us anchored to what's real. Tonight we're reviewing In the Mouth of Madness — the third and final film in John Carpenter's self-described "Apocalypse Trilogy," after The Thing (1982) and Prince of Darkness (1987). Sam Neill plays an insurance investigator hired to find bestselling horror novelist Sutter Cane, who has disappeared along with the manuscript of his final book. Trent finds Cane in Hobb's End, a town that doesn't appear on any map because it's a setting from one of Cane's novels. Reality starts behaving like the pages of a Cane book. And then reality IS one. Screenplay by Michael De Luca, who at the time was president of New Line Cinema — a horror novel about a horror author, written by a movie executive, playing a movie executive as the villain. Paired with it: True Story Bourbon Whiskey — a small-batch Kentucky pour with the same kind of unassuming reputation that Carpenter's late films had before critics circled back. So pour yourself something strong… don't finish any book that starts rewriting the reader… and let's see how a 1994 flop grew into a Carpenter high point. ▬ Contents of this video ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ 00:00 - Intro 01:50 - Alcohol Review 09:40 - Alcohol Barrel Rating 15:48 - Movie Review 18:04 - Movie Barrel Rating 36:55 - Outro 39:44 - Outro 2 ▬ Midnight Movie Distillery — watch it, drink it, rate it ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ All our horror + whiskey reviews: midnightmoviedistillery.com #midnightmoviedistillery #podcaster #podcasts #horrorpodcast #horrorjunkie #horrormovie #horrorfan #horror #horrormovies #classichorror #90shorror #inthemouthofmadness #johncarpenter #thething #princeofdarkness #apocalypsetrilogy #samneill #jurgenprochnow #davidwarner #charltonheston #hplovecraft #cosmichorror #lovecraftian #michaeldeluca #newlinecinema #whiskey #whisky #whiskeylife #whiskeytasting #bourbon #bourbonreview #truestorybourbon #kentuckybourbon

Welcome back to Midnight Movie Distillery where we watch the movies you've heard about… and drink the whiskey that helps us survive them. Tonight we're reviewing Evil Dead Burn — the sixth film in Sam Raimi's franchise, first from French filmmaker Sébastien Vaniček (Infested), and by consensus the most brutal, most claustrophobic, most mean-spirited Deadite entry to date. Alice, freshly widowed, moves in with her husband's estranged family — descendants of a leading demonic-possession researcher. When her in-laws start transforming one by one into Deadites that feed on fear, she discovers that "til death do us part" was more binding than she signed up for. Weaponizes an increasingly ludicrous household inventory — corkscrews, fountain pens, dishwashers, shower curtains, fish hooks — in devilishly gnarly ways. Cameo callback to Alyssa Sutherland's Ellie from Evil Dead Rise. IndieWire called it "the single strangest Deadite movie to date." Paired with two bourbons tonight — a first for the show. Bulleit's Mesquite Smoked Malt (a bold, unusual take on the classic Bulleit profile) up front, then Buzzard's Roost Signature Double Oak (small-batch Kentucky, twice-oaked for depth) as the second round. Two bourbons because one felt insufficient for what this movie put us through. We found common ground on the pours; the movie is where we parted ways. So pour yourself something strong… don't open the basement door… and let's see whether Vaniček earns his place in the franchise. ▬ Contents of this video ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ 00:00 - Intro 01:08 - Alcohol Review (Bulleit Mesquite) 06:45 - Alcohol Barrel Rating (Bulleit Mesquite) 19:20 - Alcohol Barrel Rating (Buzzard's Roost) 23:25 - Movie Review 25:30 - Movie Barrel Rating 53:55 - Outro ▬ Midnight Movie Distillery — watch it, drink it, rate it ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ All our horror + whiskey reviews: midnightmoviedistillery.com #midnightmoviedistillery #podcaster #podcasts #horrorpodcast #horrorjunkie #horrormovie #horrorfan #horror #horrormovies #2026horror #evildead #evildeadburn #evildeadfranchise #sebastienvanicek #infested #samraimi #brucecampbell #leecronin #deadites #alyssasutherland #whiskey #whisky #whiskeylife #whiskeytasting #bourbon #bourbonreview #bulleit #bulleitmesquite #buzzardsroost #kentuckybourbon

Welcome back to Midnight Movie Distillery where we watch the movies you've heard about… and drink the whiskey that carries us through them. Tonight we're reviewing Chum — a destination-wedding-in-Malta thriller where the yacht trip goes wrong in two directions at once: a shark in the water and a fisherman with an agenda closer to the boat than anyone realized. Sun-soaked vacation horror with two predators, one of which pays taxes. Alice Eve leads, IFC dumped it day-and-date with digital, and critics were not kind. Paired with it: The Big Smoke — an Islay-style blended malt Scotch aged in oak casks. Peaty, smoky, characterful — the pour did more work than the picture. So pour yourself something strong… stay off the boat if the wedding party is arguing… and let's see what we make of this one. ▬ Contents of this video ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ 00:00 - Intro 01:08 - Alcohol Review 10:10 - Alcohol Barrel Rating 25:05 - Movie Review 28:30 - Movie Barrel Rating 49:35 - Outro ▬ Midnight Movie Distillery — watch it, drink it, rate it ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ All our horror + whiskey reviews: midnightmoviedistillery.com #midnightmoviedistillery #podcaster #podcasts #horrorpodcast #horrorjunkie #horrormovie #horrorfan #horror #horrormovies #2026horror #chum #chummovie #sharkmovie #sharkhorror #aliceeve #malta #ifcfilms #jonathanzuck #whiskey #whisky #whiskeylife #whiskeytasting #scotch #scotchwhisky #islayscotch #islay #peatedscotch #thebigsmoke #blendedmalt

Welcome back to Midnight Movie Distillery where we watch the movies you've heard about… and drink the whiskey that helps us process what we just saw. Tonight we're reviewing Saccharine — Natalie Erika James (the writer-director of Relic) doing supernatural body-horror about Ozempic-era diet culture. A lovelorn Australian medical student takes ashes from a cadaver her gross-anatomy class has nicknamed "Big Bertha," turns them into pills, and starts losing weight rapidly. The ghost of the woman she's eating notices. Sundance Midnight premiere, IFC + Shudder pickup. Paired with it: Bear Fight American Single Malt Whisky — a blend of four American single malts distilled by four different craft distillers. So pour yourself something strong… don't take any pills you can't identify… and let's see whether the metaphor lands or overreaches. ▬ Contents of this video ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ 00:00 - Intro 01:00 - Alcohol Review 08:10 - Alcohol Barrel Rating 23:40 - Movie Review 26:40 - Movie Barrel Rating 43:56 - Outro ▬ Midnight Movie Distillery — watch it, drink it, rate it ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ All our horror + whiskey reviews: midnightmoviedistillery.com #midnightmoviedistillery #podcaster #podcasts #horrorpodcast #horrorjunkie #horrormovie #horrorfan #horror #horrormovies #2026horror #saccharine #saccharinefilm #natalieerikajames #relic #bodyhorror #shudder #ifcfilms #midorifrancis #daniellemacdonald #whiskey #whisky #whiskeylife #whiskeytasting #singlemalt #americansinglemalt #bearfight #craftwhiskey

Welcome back to Midnight Movie Distillery where we watch the movies you've heard about… and drink the whiskey that helps us argue about them. Tonight we're reviewing Backrooms — A24's adaptation of Kane Parsons' viral YouTube liminal-space horror series. A furniture-store owner opens a door in his basement that leads to an endless dimension of yellow-carpeted office rooms; his therapist follows him in when he goes missing. Kane Parsons was 16 when he started the Backrooms creepypasta on YouTube, 20 when he directed this feature, and just became the youngest filmmaker to open at #1 at the US box office. A24's highest grosser ever, and they even released an extended "Everything Must Go" cut. Paired with it: Russell's Reserve Bourbon Single Barrel — a hand-selected pull from Wild Turkey's cask program. Not everyone was on the same page about the movie. The pour brought us closer to agreement. So pour yourself something strong… don't wander through any doors you can't come back through… and let's see whether the yellow rooms live up to the hype. ▬ Contents of this video ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ 00:00 - Intro 02:00 - Alcohol Review 17:00 - Alcohol Barrel Rating 30:48 - Movie Review 32:45 - Movie Barrel Rating 1:08:00 - Outro ▬ Midnight Movie Distillery — watch it, drink it, rate it ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ All our horror + whiskey reviews: midnightmoviedistillery.com #midnightmoviedistillery #podcaster #podcasts #horrorpodcast #horrorjunkie #horrormovie #horrorfan #horror #horrormovies #2026horror #backrooms #backroomsmovie #kaneparsons #kanepixels #a24 #liminalspaces #chiwetelejiofor #renatereinsve #markduplass #whiskey #whisky #whiskeylife #whiskeytasting #bourbon #bourbonreview #russellsreserve #singlebarrel #wildturkey #kentuckybourbon

Welcome back to Midnight Movie Distillery where we watch the movies you've heard about… and drink the whiskey that helps us appreciate where horror came from. Tonight we're reviewing Trilogy of Terror — Dan Curtis's 1975 made-for-TV anthology, three Richard Matheson stories, all starring Karen Black, all aired on ABC as a Movie of the Week. Two segments you may not remember. One segment you absolutely do: "Amelia," a woman alone in her apartment trying to survive a Zuni fetish doll that has come to life. Fifty-one years later, that ten-inch knife-wielding warrior is still one of the most-imitated villains in horror — even if the rest of the movie has aged less gracefully. Paired with it: Widow Jane Decadence Bourbon Finished in Maple Syrup Casks — a bourbon that turned a niche finish into something we kept coming back to in the glass. So pour yourself something strong… check that the gold chain is still on the doll… and let's see whether 1975 horror still earns its place on the shelf. ▬ Contents of this video ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ 00:00 - Intro 02:30 - Alcohol Review 09:55 - Alcohol Barrel Rating 27:25 - Movie Review 29:16 - Movie Barrel Rating 59:25 - Outro ▬ Midnight Movie Distillery — watch it, drink it, rate it ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ All our horror + whiskey reviews: midnightmoviedistillery.com #midnightmoviedistillery #podcaster #podcasts #horrorpodcast #horrorjunkie #horrormovie #horrorfan #horror #horrormovies #classichorror #70shorror #trilogyofterror #dancurtis #darkshadows #richardmatheson #karenblack #zunidoll #amelia #abcmovieoftheweek #anthologyhorror #whiskey #whisky #whiskeylife #whiskeytasting #bourbon #bourbonreview #widowjane #widowjanedecadence #maplebourbon #brooklynbourbon

Welcome back to Midnight Movie Distillery where we watch the movies you've heard about… and drink the whiskey that helps us figure out whose side we're on. Tonight we're reviewing Over Your Dead Body — Jorma Taccone's English-language remake of Tommy Wirkola's Norwegian black-comedy The Trip (2021). Jason Segel and Samara Weaving as a married couple at a remote lakeside cabin for a "reconnection weekend." Both of them are secretly planning to murder the other. Then the cabin gets uninvited guests. Lonely Island director, BriTANick writers — the whole filmmaking team is comedy people bending toward genre. Paired with it: Widow Jane 10 Year Bourbon — a Brooklyn-distilled pour that ended up being one we mostly agreed on, which doesn't always happen on this show. So pour yourself something strong… mistrust your spouse a little… and let's see who makes it out of this one alive. ▬ Contents of this video ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ 00:00 - Intro 01:17 - Alcohol Review 08:35 - Alcohol Barrel Rating 18:51 - Movie Review 21:10 - Movie Barrel Rating 38:57 - Outro ▬ Midnight Movie Distillery — watch it, drink it, rate it ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ All our horror + whiskey reviews: midnightmoviedistillery.com #midnightmoviedistillery #podcaster #podcasts #horrorpodcast #horrorjunkie #horrormovie #horrorfan #horror #horrormovies #2026horror #overyourdeadbody #jormataccone #lonelyisland #thetrip2021 #tommywirkola #deadsnow #jasonsegel #samaraweaving #readyornot #timothyolyphant #juliettelewis #whiskey #whisky #whiskeylife #whiskeytasting #bourbon #bourbonreview #widowjane #widowjane10 #brooklynbourbon #craftbourbon

Welcome back to Midnight Movie Distillery where we watch the movies you've heard about… and drink the whiskey that helps us figure out whether what we just watched was actually a movie. Tonight we're reviewing Faces of Death — Daniel Goldhaber and Isa Mazzei (the Cam team) reimagining the 1978 cult shockumentary for the algorithm era. A content moderator at a TikTok-like platform starts seeing what look like real beheadings in her review queue. The film's question is what it costs to keep watching. We didn't all agree on whether it works. Paired with it: Corsair Triple Smoke Single Malt Whiskey — a three-grain triple-smoked malt out of Nashville. We had more in common on the pour than we did on the picture. So pour yourself something strong… stay off the algorithm if you know what's good for you… and let's see what this one is really about. ▬ Contents of this video ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ 00:00 - Intro 01:00 - Alcohol Review 05:35 - Alcohol Barrel Rating 11:00 - Movie Review 13:28 - Movie Barrel Rating 28:40 - Outro ▬ Midnight Movie Distillery — watch it, drink it, rate it ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ All our horror + whiskey reviews: midnightmoviedistillery.com #midnightmoviedistillery #podcaster #podcasts #horrorpodcast #horrorjunkie #horrormovie #horrorfan #horror #horrormovies #2026horror #facesofdeath #facesofdeath2026 #danielgoldhaber #isamazzei #cam2018 #algorithmhorror #contentmoderation #barbieferreira #dacremontgomery #josietotah #charlixcx #whiskey #whisky #whiskeylife #whiskeytasting #corsair #corsairtriplesmoke #craftwhiskey #nashvillewhiskey

Welcome back to Midnight Movie Distillery where we watch the movies you've heard about… and drink the whiskey that helps us argue about them. Tonight we're reviewing Obsession — Curry Barker's debut feature and the most remarkable indie horror origin story of the year. Barker came up making YouTube sketch comedy, shot a found-footage horror short for $800 that went viral, got hand-picked by Blumhouse, and the movie went on to do $108M on a $750K budget. The story: a shy music-store employee buys a "One Wish Willow" from a witchy gift shop and wishes the girl he loves loved him back. She does. Sort of. Paired with it: Four Kings Port Finish Blended Malt Whiskey — and we found this pour considerably more polarizing than the movie. Lon, in particular, has things to say. So pour yourself something strong… don't make any wishes you can't take back… and let's see if this one earns the indie-darling hype. ▬ Contents of this video ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ 00:00 - Intro 01:12 - Alcohol Review 11:35 - Alcohol Barrel Rating 21:09 - Movie Review 24:10 - Movie Barrel Rating 53:01 - Outro ▬ Midnight Movie Distillery — watch it, drink it, rate it ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ All our horror + whiskey reviews: midnightmoviedistillery.com #midnightmoviedistillery #podcaster #podcasts #horrorpodcast #horrorjunkie #horrormovie #horrorfan #horror #horrormovies #2026horror #obsession #obsessionmovie #currybarker #blumhouse #onewishwillow #michaeljohnston #indenavarrette #whiskey #whisky #whiskeylife #whiskeytasting #singlemalt #americansinglemalt #fourkings #fourkingswhiskey #portcaskfinish #craftwhiskey

Welcome back to Midnight Movie Distillery where we watch the movies you’ve heard about… and drink the whiskey that helps us figure out what we just watched. Tonight we’re reviewing Pretty Lethal — Vicky Jewson’s action-horror-comedy about a ballet troupe whose bus breaks down on the way to a competition and have to fight off armed men. Uma Thurman is in it. Maddie Ziegler is top-billed. Whether this counts as a horror movie at all is one of the things we’ll be arguing about. Paired with it: Tumblin’ Dice Bourbon from Proof and Wood — a bottle with a name that promised more than the pour delivered. We’ll get into it. So pour yourself something strong… stretch first… and let’s see what we’re actually dealing with. Midnight Movie Distillery — watch it, drink it… regret nothing.

Welcome back to Midnight Movie Distillery where we watch the movies you’ve heard about… and drink the whiskey that helps us survive them. Tonight we’re reviewing The Yeti — a 2026 creature feature set in 1940s Alaska, intentionally shot to look like it was made in the ’50s. Practical creature, period production design, and a cast that should make every horror fan’s antennae go up: Jim Cummings, William Sadler, Brittany Allen, Corbin Bernsen. We’ll tell you whether the throwback works… or whether the snow swallows the whole thing. Paired with it: Tradewater Kentucky Straight Bourbon — a Kentucky pour we hadn’t tried before, and one we ended up surprisingly aligned on. So pour yourself something strong… stay close to the fire… and let’s see who makes it back. Midnight Movie Distillery — watch it, drink it… regret nothing.

Welcome back to Midnight Movie Distillery where we watch the movies you’ve heard about… and drink the whiskey that helps us decide if we’re losing our minds. Tonight we’re reviewing Hokum — the new film from Damian McCarthy, the Irish horror writer-director who made Oddity. Adam Scott plays a horror author who travels to a remote Irish hotel to scatter his parents’ ashes. The hotel is haunted. He didn’t know that part. We didn’t all see the same movie — and you’ll see that in the ratings. Paired with it: New Riff Kentucky Straight Bourbon — Northern Kentucky craft, bottled in bond, and a name that’s been on every bourbon recommendation list for a few years now. So pour yourself something strong… don’t look too closely at the wallpaper… and let’s see if this one actually makes sense. Midnight Movie Distillery — watch it, drink it… regret nothing.

Welcome back to Midnight Movie Distillery where we watch the movies you’ve heard about… and drink the whiskey that helps us argue about them. Tonight we’re reviewing Lee Cronin’s The Mummy — yes, that Lee Cronin, the man behind Evil Dead Rise. He’s traded high-rise Deadites for an ancient bandage-wrapped horror, and the question is: does the contained-creature thing work, or did he leave all the good stuff in that apartment fire? Paired with it: Colonel E.H. Taylor Small Batch — a Buffalo Trace darling with the kind of bottle reputation that practically demands you have opinions. Lon brought it. The rest of us came in cold. So pour yourself something strong… leave the sarcophagus closed if you know what’s good for you… and let’s see how this one holds together.

Welcome back to Midnight Movie Distillery where we watch the movies and shows you’ve heard about… and occasionally deal with the consequences. Tonight’s episode is a little different. After our take on the Stranger Things finale… let’s just say someone had notes. So instead of ignoring it like mature adults, we did the obvious thing... we brought her on the show. That’s right, this is our first official listener showdown! We’re revisiting the finale, defending our takes, hearing hers… and seeing if this turns into a civil discussion or a full-on verbal cage match. And in a historic moment for MMD… there is no whiskey tonight. Not because we’re responsible, but because we couldn’t agree on one. Which should tell you exactly how this episode is going to go. No Bloody Barrel ratings… just opinions, debates, and at least one of us doubling down when we probably shouldn’t. So grab whatever you’re drinking… prepare for some disagreements… and let’s settle this. Midnight Movie Distillery — watch it, drink it… regret nothing.

Welcome back to Midnight Movie Distillery where we watch the movies you’ve heard about… and drink the whiskey that helps us survive them. Tonight we’re reviewing They Will Kill You — which, honestly, we appreciate for not wasting time with subtlety. The title sets expectations, and we’re here to find out if the movie actually delivers… or just threatens us for 90 minutes. And in the glass, we’ve got WhistlePig bourbon — bold, a little aggressive, and exactly what you want when things start going downhill fast. But we’re not facing this one alone — we’ve got a special guest reviewer joining us tonight, bringing fresh opinions, questionable takes, and hopefully better survival instincts than the characters in this movie.

Welcome back to Midnight Movie Distillery — or MMD if your idea of commitment is finishing the bottle, not the movie — where we watch the movies you’ve heard about… and drink the whiskey that helps us explain them. Tonight we’re reviewing The Bride (2026) — a fresh take on a very familiar monster story, which means romance, tragedy… and at least one situation where someone absolutely ignores every possible red flag. We’ll be here to unpack all of it, whether it makes sense or not. And in the glass, we’ve got Old Forester 1920 — a bourbon with some real backbone, which is good, because we may need it depending on how this story unfolds. So pour yourself something strong… question your life choices… and let’s see how this one holds together. Midnight Movie Distillery — watch it, drink it… regret nothing.

Welcome back to Midnight Movie Distillery — or MMD if your family gatherings also feel like psychological warfare — where we watch the movies you’ve heard about… and drink the whiskey that helps us survive them. Tonight we’re reviewing Ready or Not 2 — because apparently one homicidal game night wasn’t enough for this family. More chaos, more rich people making terrible decisions, and hopefully more reasons for us to yell at the screen. And in the glass, we’ve got Four Roses Small Batch Select — a bourbon classy enough to impress your in-laws, but strong enough to get you through dinner with them. So pour yourself something strong… trust no one with a family estate… and let’s get into it. Midnight Movie Distillery — watch it, drink it… regret nothing.

Welcome back to Midnight Movie Distillery! If your idea of ‘research’ is drinking mystery whiskey and pretending your palate is sophisticated, then you are on the right channel. We usually watch the movies you’ve heard about… but tonight, we’re skipping the screen and going straight to the glass. This episode, we’re diving into the Blind Barrels whiskey tasting subscription — the service that mails you mystery pours and challenges you to figure out what you’re drinking before the label ruins the fun. It’s part tasting experience, part ego check, and part reminder that maybe we don’t know as much about whiskey as we thought. We’ll be breaking down the experience, the pours, whether it’s actually worth the money. So pour yourself something blind… act like you taste ‘subtle leather and campfire’… and let’s get into it.

Welcome back to Midnight Movie Distillery — or MMD if your cleaning habits are as questionable as your movie choices — where we watch the movies you’ve heard about… and drink the whiskey that helps us make sense of them. Tonight we’re digging into Dust Bunny — a title that sounds harmless… until it absolutely isn’t. You know the deal: something small, something ignored… and now it’s probably a full-blown problem. We’ll be here asking why no one handled it sooner. And in the glass, we’ve got Baby Jane bourbon — which sounds sweet, innocent… and like it might surprise you if you underestimate it. So basically, same energy as the movie. So pour yourself something strong… maybe check under the bed, don't touch the floor… and let’s get into it. Midnight Movie Distillery — watch it, drink it… regret nothing.

Welcome back to Midnight Movie Distillery — or MMD if you’re still answering unknown calls like that’s a good idea — where we watch the movies you’ve heard about… and drink the whiskey that helps us survive them. Tonight we’re diving into Scream 7, with Neve Campbell back in the mix — because apparently, Ghostface just will not let this franchise rest. Same rules, same suspects (literally), same terrible decision-making. We’ll be here to question all of it. And in the glass, we’ve got Jim Beam Devil’s Cut — a bourbon pulled from deep inside the barrel… which feels appropriate, considering this movie is definitely digging up everything it can. So pour yourself something strong… check the locks… and maybe don’t say ‘I’ll be right back.’ Midnight Movie Distillery — watch it, drink it… regret nothing.

Welcome back to Midnight Movie Distillery — or MMD if your idea of ‘just one drink’ has never once been accurate — where we watch the movies you’ve heard about… and drink the whiskey that helps us explain them. Tonight we’re cracking open Cold Storage with Liam Neeson and Joe Keery — a film that promises science, suspense… and at least one situation that absolutely should’ve stayed sealed. If things start spiraling, we’ll be right here asking the important question: ‘Why would anyone do that?’ And in the glass, we’ve got Field & Sound Bottled in Bond bourbon — which, unlike the characters in this movie, actually follows strict rules and government standards. Imagine that. As always, we’ll be rating both the movie and the whiskey on our completely scientific scale of 1 to 5 Bloody Barrels — one being something you’d lock away forever… and five meaning we’d happily open it back up again. So pour yourself something strong… maybe don’t open anything labeled ‘do not disturb’… and let’s get into it.

Welcome back to Midnight Movie Distillery ! Have you ever read a whiskey label and thought, ‘Yeah… that sounds official enough.’ Tonight we’re doing something a little different — no movie, no plot holes… just us questioning everything you think you know about what’s in your glass. Where does most whiskey actually come from? Are all these distilleries really making their own juice? And what do labels like ‘small batch,’ ‘prohibition recipe,’ or ‘handcrafted’ actually mean… if anything? We’re pulling back the curtain on whiskey marketing — and there’s a very real chance we ruin a few of your favorite bottles in the process. And to help us navigate the truth — or at least make it more tolerable — we’re pouring Beer Barrel Bourbon Toasted from New Holland Brewing Company. Because if we’re going to question the entire industry… we should probably have a solid pour in hand. So pour yourself something strong… read your label a little closer… and let’s see what’s actually in the barrel. Midnight Movie Distillery — watch it, drink it… regret nothing.

Welcome back to Midnight Movie Distillery where we watch the movies you’ve heard about… and drink the whiskey that makes us think we understand them. Tonight we’re stepping into Keeper, from Osgood Perkins — which usually means things are going to get slow, unsettling… and just confusing enough that we’re going to pretend we totally got it. And in the glass, we’ve got Espy House George 1794 bourbon — a pour that sounds historic, refined, and probably a lot more put-together than we are right now. As always, we’ll be rating both the movie and the whiskey on our completely scientific scale of 1 to 5 Bloody Barrels — one being a regret you can’t undo… and five meaning we’d actually tell our friends to try it.

Welcome back to Midnight Movie Distillery — or MMD if your judgment has already started to slip — where we watch the movies you’ve heard about… and drink the whiskey you probably shouldn’t have bought right before your credit card bill hit. Tonight we’re reviewing Primate — a film that promises intelligence, instinct, and probably at least one decision that makes absolutely no sense. We’ll be here to break it down… and by that, we mean question everything. And in the glass, we’ve got Monkey Shoulder blended Scotch — smooth, approachable, and dangerously easy to keep pouring… which feels like exactly the kind of energy this movie deserves.

Welcome back to Midnight Movie Distillery where we dive into the strange, the legendary, and the completely unhinged corners of cinema. Tonight we’re stepping into Nobuhiko Obayashi’s 1977 fever dream, HOUSE — a psychedelic haunted-house nightmare filled with killer pianos, floating heads, and visuals that feel like they were beamed in from another dimension. It’s surreal, it’s beautiful, it’s absolutely bonkers… and for the second episode in a row, we’re doing it with no whiskey, well, at least not for Lon.

Some rituals should never be completed… and some whiskeys might be too powerful. This week on Midnight Movie Distillery, we confront the unsettling horror film Bring Her Back, digging into its disturbing imagery, creeping tension, and whether it truly earns its place among modern horror standouts. To steady our nerves, we pour a glass of Dark Arts Whiskey — a bold, mysterious bourbon that feels perfectly suited for a night of dread and debate. Does Bring Her Back deliver real terror or just shock value? Is Dark Arts Whiskey spellbinding… or cursed? We break it all down with our signature blend of horror obsession, whiskey tasting, and brutally honest opinions.

Are they festive frights worth unwrapping, or holiday misfires best left buried under the tree?

Today we’re giving an honest look at Guillermo del Toro’s Frankenstein — a haunting, gothic re-telling of the monster that cinema has spent a century misunderstanding. Del Toro buries this story in grief, beauty, and obsession, stitching together something both tragic and terrifying. And alongside it, we’re pouring Spice Tree Scotch by Compass Box — layered, complex, and that fit perfectly with a tale born from candlelight and madness. Let’s raise a glass and face the monster.

Tonight we’re diving into Vicious (2025) — a slow, suffocating dose of dread from Bryan Bertino that doesn’t care about jump scares so much as getting under your skin and staying there. And to keep us grounded, we’re pairing it with Holladay Soft Red Wheat Bottled In Bond Bourbon — the name is a mouth full, and a hell of a lot easier to swallow than what’s happening on screen.

Today, we’re descending into the 1970s styled cinema with Brute (1976)—a film that promised terror and gore but does it deliver? It’s a bleak, off-kilter cult-family flick that feels more like wandering into an abandoned basement than watching a polished horror classic. Luckily, we’re pairing it with Bib & Tucker’s 6-Year Small Batch Bourbon—a dark, steady pour to help us endure the film. So kill the lights, brace yourself, and let’s talk Brute & bourbon… for better or worse. Comment below and if you have any suggestions on movie reviews or adult beverages let us know.
