Part Three of our Comfort Food Movies Miniseries! (NOW WITH GUESTS!) How does a largely forgotten and unapologetically stupid send-up of Hong Kong martial arts movies hold up to our 2023 sensibilities? What memories are conjured by drinking this well-branded, cocktail focused Japanese whiskey from spirits giant Beam-Suntory? And is “Onion Wine” actually impossible to make, or is Jamie just too scared to try? Who wants a round of Arnold Palmers spiked with Toki? Pour yourself a double, for you are the Chosen One today!  Suntory ‘Toki’ Japanese Whiskey is widely available at most retailers for $45. Kung Pow: Enter the Fist is a 2002 film from writer/director/producer/star Steve Oedekerk. As of this episode’s release, you can rent or purchase it wherever you get your VODs.

Part Two of our Comfort Food Movies Miniseries! What is the origin story of Jamie’s life-long love affair with Jurassic Park? Does Scott have any affinity for the ubiquitous champagne featured prominently in the movie, or is this just spite backfiring? And where does Jamie get off blaming Steven Spielberg for him failing out of college? Fire up the movie, pop a bottle of the good stuff, and hold onto your butts. Moët & Chandon Brut Imperial Champagne is widely available at most retailers and wine shippers for approximately $55 plus tax and shipping.

Part 6 of our Court of Master Sommeliers Curriculum miniseries Can Scott successfully defend the first ever feature documentary while simultaneously pointing out all the ways that it’s total bunk?

Part 5 of our Court of Master Sommeliers Curriculum miniseries Has Jamie successfully demonstrated the value of the deductive tasting method? And, more importantly, has he convinced Scott that the French appellation system isn’t so bad? Is La Jetée a fatalistic bummer or a beautiful romance?

Part 4 of our Court of Master Sommeliers Curriculum miniseries Does Scott actually like this wine? (It's complicated.) Will Jamie reconcile his love for drinking Burgundy with his myriad issues with it conceptually? (It's also complicated.) What do the boys think of Maya Deren's dreamy, surreal, contemplative, silent film as compared to Bunuel & Dalí's from last time?
