Season 5 of Drinks and a Movie is here! This week my very first guest on the show Lindsey joins me once again. This time we're discussing the controversial Samp Peckinpah masterpiece "Straw Dogs" starring Dustin Hoffman and Susan George. We pour two exceptional bottles of rye whiskey from Sagamore Spirit. The Sherry Finish rye and the Palo Cortado sherry finish ryes. They're both some of the best ryes I've ever had and I cannot recommend them enough. Find them while they're still available. Cheers!

This week Matt and I discuss Robert M. Young's 1977 film "Alambrista!". The story follows Roberto, a man who migrates from Mexico to the US to find work to support is newborn daughter. Young captures the immigrant experience in a very raw, authentic, non judgemental way, and it's a movie that everyone should see at least once. Before we chat about the movie we break the seal on two new limited releases from Jim Beam distilling. The Hardin's Creek Colonel James B. Beam 2 year old bourbon and the Hardin's Creek 184 month (15-16 year old blend) Jacob's Well bourbon. Both are delicious with the Jacobs Well being very exceptional. I wish I had another one.

Slip on the electrodes and get ready to synchronize with another notorious Hollywood head-scratcher!

Alex Bledsoe, author of over 20 fantasy novels, joins the show for a look at the second-worst movie of all time, Exorcist II: The Heretic, aka E2TH! Linda Blair is back as Regan MacNeil, but this time she's traded her pea soup for a pair of tap shoes and has to use her vaguely-defined spiritual powers to defend the world against a swarm of demons and her own evil, sexy self! It's a film that could have only come from the mind of John "Zardoz" Boorman...and his "creative consultant", Rospo Pallenberg!

Join us as we look at one of Hollywood's first blockbuster misfires and, along the way, we discuss filling big shoes, why 0% looks better than 20%, the value of a reverse barometer, art thriving under restrictions, the Land of Dairy Queen, Teflon von Sydow, Third Man zithering, and pitch a team of New Age X-Men!

You don't have to be as drunk as Richard Burton to enjoy this show, but it couldn't hurt! Listen today!

Fire up the generator and dust off Ol' Reliable because we're back with an episode that will send you to a better place!

John Edward Moret is the programmer for the Trylon Cinema in Minneapolis and he joins the show this week to sing the praises of a lost classic, The Travelling Executioner! Stacy Keach stars as Jonas Candide, an ex-convict and ex-carny with a portable electric chair and a gift for putting the condemned at ease. But when he's tasked to put the beautiful Marianna Hill to death, things go off the rails in the style you'd expect from an early '70s movie. Right down to the unexpectedly explosive climax!

Join us as we look at the auteurism of '70s cinema, discuss the value of Rotten Tomatoes, talk rooting for Dirty Harry, explore the Variety archives, John talks the post-Vietnam American crossroads, Aaron pitches a Bud Cort double feature, and we reveal the existence of the real travelling executioner himself, Jimmy "Dr. Zogg" Thompson!

This show could easily be described as "tone-deaf to its own ridiculousness"! Check it out!
