Movies to Drink to

A little look back at what we've been watching so far in 2025

On this exciting installment of Movies to Drink to, Fin and Lee take a trip back in time to the 1950s, in glorious Technicolor with ROBOT MONSTER!!! Join our intrepid heroes as they make their way through a film regularly featured on lists of worst movies ever made, a film in which no budget has been spent and feels like it was made up as they went along. THRILLS! FUN! TERROR!!! Not so much terror to be honest...

This Christmas Fin and Lee bring you the first Movies to Drink to remake. If you've been with us since the beginning you'll know our first Christmas special was the magnificent Silent Night, Deadly Night and now we bring it to you again! If you like bad slasher movies and Santa then this is the movie for you! We also made this episode audio only, just like it was back in the day and not because the recording software refused to work...

Fin and Lee are back with more Movies to Drink to and this time they're tackling Disney again. Specifically the one animated movie that no one ever claims as their favourite, Pocahontas. Join our intrepid duo as they compare reality with the weirdly romanticised story of a 12 year old Native American girl and a full grown man... Starring everyone's favourite antisemite Mel Gibson.

We were lucky enough to be invited along to Grandest 2024. A 3 day film festival celebrating horror, cult classics and grind house movies all shown in glorious 35mm. Dirt in the Gate links: https://linktr.ee/dirtinthegate Dead Good Tees: https://www.deadgoodtees.co.uk

There are sequels that are arguably as good, if not better than the originals; The Godfather Part 2, Aliens, The Dark Knight. Under Siege 2: Dark Territory is not one of those films. If Under Siege was Die Hard on a boat then this is Die Hard with no talented writers. Join Fin and Lee as they try to figure out why all these people took a train in the first place.

Fin and Lee take to the seas for the latest episode of Movies to Drink to, aboard a nuclear warship taken hostage. Join our intrepid hosts as they scrutinise the introspective and thought provoking drama Under Siege, starring world class, classically trained thespian Steven Seagull. With a supporting cast that boasts the heavyweight talent of Tommy Lee Jones, Gary Busey and in a defining role that blossomed into a career that lasted months, Erika Eleniak. THE GODDAM COOK'S A SEAL!!!

Just a little bonus track for you guy on what Lee and Fin have been watching recently.

Have you ever been watching a Friday the 13th movie and thought "You know what's missing from this hack and slash series? Mind powers..." No? me either but someone did, as Fin and Lee discover on this brand new episode of Movies to Drink to: The Crystal Lake Capers. Has our hero, Jason Voorhees finale met his match against the dead guy from Weekend from Bernie's and a girl who can ignite a book of matches WITH HER MIND??!

Fin and Lee bring you another episode of Movies to Drink to from sunny Camp Crystal Lake! this time it's because JASON LIVES! Instalment 6 of the never ending Friday the 134th franchise sees our old pal Jason actually returning from the dead under fairly stupid circumstances. Tommy Jarvis is back, with a third new face, to go up against a reanimated hockey enthusiast and try to save another batch a camp councillors, that by now should have figured out that the gig has an extremely high fatality rate. Join our hosts as they watch these films so you don't have to in the hope that just one them, might actually be good.

Movies to Drink to continues it's affiliation with Camp Crystal Lake as Fin and Lee sigh up for the fifth outing of the killer in the hockey mask: Friday the 13th part 5: A New Beginning... Join our hero as they ask all the questions like: Wasn't the last film supposed to be the last? Why are there 50's greasers in a film set in the 80's? And, where the hell is Jason?

'Tis the season of good will and Movies to Drink to comes bearing gifts... Unfortunately that gift is the 2006 iteration of Black Christmas. The 1974 original is a slasher classic and genre pioneer, the 2019 version... also exists... And then there's this...A. movie that does it's best to spread festive cheer with the aid of murder, cannibalism and even a dash of incest... Join Fin and Lee as the unwrap this film layer by layer and discover whether is's a gift or a turkey.

In this episode of Movies to Drink to, Fin and Lee fulfil a fan request and watch Twilight. A cautionary tale of a girl being groomed by a 108 year old dead guy, that gaslights her as they embark on what is certainly one of the most toxic relationships in cinema. Join our duo as the dismantle what was at one time, a staple of every 14 year old girls sleepover viewing.

It's been a while since Fin and Lee banged to to get together and record an episode of Movies to Drink to, but it's Halloween so the time has come...

First of all apologies for the sound being a bit off. And I completely forgot to put the intro and outro on!  So it's a first for us at Movies to Drink to, we're covering a an animated film. As it's remake is getting all the press at the moment we thought why not take a look back the original The Little Mermaid from 1989.

What is going on in Hollywood? Why are the writers striking? Are robots taking over and how is this going to affect our most loved shows and movies? Well, it ain't looking good.

Well it's Christmas time so we thought we take a look at something festive and our first TV movie to drink to.. It's the Star Wars Holiday special from 1978.
