Take A Drink When

You ever sit around and wonder what would happen if you were trapped on a bus with Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock? And a mad man had strapped a bomb to the bus because he wasn't happy with his retirement plan? Well, have we got a movie for you! In this episode, we go on a 50 mph joy ride that says "Physics? What physics!?" It's Speed! Instagram - @takeadrinkwhen / Twitter - @tadwpodcast / Intro Music by Julian Moore / Art by Abigail Lupoff

Happy spooky season! It's our favorite time of year and to celebrate we decided to head on down to Texas in the 70's to visit our good pal Leatherface! On our journey we stumble across bones, blood, a chicken and, most importantly, a cannibal dinner party!  Instagram - @takeadrinkwhen / Twitter - @tadwpodcast / Intro Music by Julian Moore / Art by Abigail Lupoff

After multiple attempts, Amanda has finally created a drinking game to rival the irreparable liver damage caused by 300. This week we join a bunch of bohemians in Paris in the early 1900's at a very flashy little place called the Moulin Rouge and learn all about the ideals of the bohemian revolution. Truth! Beauty! Freedom! Love! And above all else...tuberculosis! Instagram - @takeadrinkwhen / Twitter - @tadwpodcast / Intro Music by Julian Moore / Art by Abigail Lupoff

This week we've got it all. Early 2000's fashion? Check. Very loud cars? Check. Ja Rule?! CHECK! Buckle up everybody, it's time to join Paul Walker and Vin Diesel and learn all about the wonderful world of street racing! We have questions. Some of them are answered. Some of them will forever be a mystery. But...did we mention Ja Rule is there?! Instagram - @takeadrinkwhen / Twitter - @tadwpodcast / Intro Music by Julian Moore / Art by Abigail Lupoff

Did you miss us?! We had to take an unexpected little summer vacation from the pod, but we're BACK! And what better way to return than with a little classic 90's Brendan Fraser?! In this episode, we desperately try to understand some sort of Egyptian curse and somehow resurrect an undead mummy man who really wants to bring his girlfriend back from the dead!

You know her, you love her, and it is about time we check her out for the pod...it's Molly Ringwald! This week we're following the quirky fashion...icon?... Andie Walsh, as she finds herself in a love triangle with the three most unlikable men the eighties have to offer! Will it be Steff, who can't button his shirt if his life depended on it? Will it be Blane, whose name might as well be Bland? Will it be Duckie, the cringiest of them?! Listen and find out, it's Pretty In Pink!

We took a week off and we're back with another classic! This week we journey down to Antartica, where a bunch of dudes are researching...actually we have no idea what they are researching. What we do know is there are some Norwegians nearby who messed with a spaceship and now we're all going to pay the price! We question science, we question ethics and we question our life choices, get ready for The Thing!

This week we're heading to the Catskills with the Houseman family for a summer full of golf, wig shows, croquet and, most importantly, a whole lot of dancing!

This week, we find ourselves in the seedy underbelly of the Las Vegas strip and find out just what it takes to be a STAR!

There's...listen, there's a lot of boobs. TW - sexual assault/rape - At approximately 53:52, there is a scene in particular that we do not describe in detail, but do react to. It is also referenced in the movie review a few times. Instagram - @takeadrinkwhen / Twitter - @tadwpodcast / Intro Music by Julian Moore / Art by Abigail Lupoff

It's time for the conclusion of our journey on the Titanic with Jack and Rose! Will they both make it? Will the ship survive colliding with an iceberg? Will Jillian and Amanda turn into crying drunk girls in the blink of eye? The answer to one of these questions is yes and we bet you can guess which one. Instagram - @takeadrinkwhen / Twitter - @tadwpodcast / Intro Music by Julian Moore / Art by Abigail Lupoff

Some movies just can't be cut down to one episode and what better movie to be our first two parter than this one! The year is 1912, the ship is the Titanic and the romance is LEGENDARY. Listen as we act like we don't already know the fate of this "unsinkable" ship and then join us next week for the thrilling conclusion!

We're back in the 80's this week and join a suburban family as they desperately try to get rid of the demons that are all up in their house. We got ghosts! We got possessed trees! We got a child stuck in the television! We got Madam Serena from Teen Witch! Jillian has childhood trauma! It's Poltergeist! Instagram - @takeadrinkwhen / Twitter - @tadwpodcast / Intro Music by Julian Moore / Art by Abigail Lupoff

This week, we revisit a movie that Amanda absolutely loved as a child and probably had no business watching at that age! We visit Earth in 2033 (yikes) and apparently there was a comet and...a decade long drought and...long story short there's basically no water. Enter badass rebel Tank Girl! She's here to provide solid one liners, take down the man, bang a kangaroo man and unintentionally shape Amanda's personality into who she has become today! Instagram - @takeadrinkwhen / Twitter - @tadwpodcast / Intro Music by Julian Moore / Art by Abigail Lupoff

We loved Teen Witch so much we thought, "why not give a teenage werewolf a try!?" This week, we join a young Michael J. Fox as he faces the trials and tribulations of being a scrawny little teen who is apparently...genetically a werewolf? There's basketball! There's kissing! There's more basketball! Like...so much basketball... It's Teen Wolf! Instagram - @takeadrinkwhen / Twitter - @tadwpodcast / Intro Music by Julian Moore / Art by Abigail Lupoff

Pack your bags y'all, we're going to camp! Is this camp cursed? Doomed? The site of some grizzly murders? PROBABLY! But that didn't stop a bunch of dumb horny teenagers in 1980, and it certainly won't stop us! This week we head to Camp Crystal Lake and critique the camp counselors survival skills. Spoiler, they don't do a great job... Instagram - @takeadrinkwhen / Twitter - @tadwpodcast / Intro Music by Julian Moore / Art by Abigail Lupoff

We've all been there. You're walking down the street. You hear drums. You follow the drums and find a trunk containing a really old board game. The drums are coming from the board game. You decide to play the game because, obviously, and BOOM...Robin Williams is in your living room! That's never happened to you? Well, this week, it happens to us! It's Jumanji! Instagram - @takeadrinkwhen / Twitter - @tadwpodcast / Intro Music by Julian Moore / Art by Abigail Lupoff

Another week, another classic 80's film we have inexplicably never seen.

We get drunk! It's episode 24! Instagram - @takeadrinkwhen / Twitter - @tadwpodcast / Intro Music by Julian Moore / Art by Abigail Lupoff

Sometimes we sit around and think "Man, I wonder what it was like to be Joan Crawford's daughter." Luckily, this movie exists to give us a glimpse into growing up Crawford! Wire hangers?

You know what we love more than random movies and drinking to them? One hit wonders!

We go on what may be our most random tangent to date!  Instagram - @takeadrinkwhen / Twitter - @tadwpodcast / Intro Music by Julian Moore / Art by Abigail Lupoff

It's Jillian's Birthday Episode! Which means she picked the movie, but if you've been listening to this podcast at all, you probably could have guessed that. This week, we learn about homicidal alien clowns and the ways of their culture. Join us as we are taught all about using cotton candy to harvest nutrients from humans and give sweet names to all of the clowns. All Jillian wants for her birthday is for you to listen, so you probably should! Instagram - @takeadrinkwhen / Twitter - @tadwpodcast / Intro Music by Julian Moore / Art by Abigail Lupoff

We had to take an unexpected week off but instead of leaving our dear listeners with no episode, we reached into the vault and decided to release one of our test episodes! This bad boy was recorded before we launched and were figuring out our format and working out the kinks, but it's still a treat. It's Pet Sematary, the 2019 remake! We say dumb waiter a lot! We get scared by trucks! Jillian complains about children! This episode is near and dear to our hearts so we hope you love it as much as we do and we will be back to our regularly scheduled programming next week!

What's this? It's a guest! This week we are joined by one of our trusted drinking game consultants and our dear friend, Abby!

In episode 14, we are taking a nice calm leisurely plane ride, where there is definitely nothing to worry about and there are certainly no venomous creatures loose and trying to kill anyone! We give Samuel L Jackson a cool nickname, we hang out with our best friend Keenan Thompson and we finally answer the question that stumps the world...WHY are there snakes on a plane?! Instagram - @takeadrinkwhen / Twitter - @tadwpodcast / Intro Music by Julian Moore / Art by Abigail Lupoff

This week we decided to tap into a genre we have yet to explore, the wonderful world of superhero, or in this case antihero, movies! Meet Venom, a weird alien goo monster that has oozed his way into Tom Hardy, has questionable morals and ethics and REALLY doesn't like loud noises. It's like the Odd Couple, but with action!  Instagram - @takeadrinkwhen / Twitter - @tadwpodcast / Intro Music by Julian Moore / Art by Abigail Lupoff

This week every where you look, you're seeing stars! Which one will ultimately save humanity from a martian invasion? Is it Danny Devito, the gambler? Pierce Brosnan, the scientist? Jack Nicholson, the president of the United States? Christina Applegate, the townie girl? Tom Jones, the...well he's just Tom Jones. It's not unusual that we fell in love with this chaotic Tim Burton fever dream!  Instagram - @takeadrinkwhen / Twitter - @tadwpodcast / Intro Music by Julian Moore / Art by Abigail Lupoff

Pig blood, telekinesis and religious zealots, oh my! This week we stepped back to the 70's to meet everybody's favorite outcast prom queen. And John Travolta is inexplicably there too!

In episode seven, we return once again to the year 1986! This time we encounter some children with oddly familiar names, a witch that Jillian falls in love with, a young Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Sonny Bono and a troll who is also a wizard somehow maybe? Join us as Amanda mispronounces Bono for half the episode and we try to piece together what may be the most confusing 82 minutes of "cinema" we’ve ever seen! Instagram - @takeadrinkwhen / Twitter - @tadwpodcast / Intro Music by Julian Moore / Art by - Abigail Lupoff

In episode six, we decided to try something a little different and embarked on a very calm, casual evening of drinking with a side of education about Spartan life! Just kidding, Jillian took the reins and prepared us a game our livers will never forgive us for. We drink for deaths! We drink for Sparta! We drink for nipples! And we don't remember any of it! Instagram - @takeadrinkwhen / Twitter - @tadwpodcast / Intro Music by Julian Moore / Art by - Abigail Lupoff

This week's episode is a whirlwind of suspense! Will Amanda's love of Jeff Goldblum be strong enough to withstand watching him lose body parts? Will Jillian ever find out what happened to the original fly? And more importantly, will she successfully say the words "computer screen" by the end of the episode?! Be afraid, be very afraid... Instagram - @takeadrinkwhen / Twitter - @tadwpodcast / Intro Music by Julian Moore / Art by - Abigail Lupoff

This week's episode has everything - Songs! Dances! Unpronounceable cat names! Cats with human toes! Jennifer Hudson's snot!

Our third episode, and the final installment of our trio of launch episodes, answers the age old question, "What would happen if a teen girl wakes up on her sixteenth birthday with magic powers but it's also the 80s?" We laugh. We cringe. We sing. We cringe some more. Top that! Instagram - @takeadrinkwhen / Twitter - @tadwpodcast / Intro Music by Julian Moore / Art by - Abigail Lupoff

In episode 2, we begin to torture Amanda with horror movies!
