We picked 4 movies from each decade of Nic Cage's illustrious career, and broke it down.

Andrew had Big Wave (a 4.4% ABV golden ale by the Kona Brewing Company out of Kailua Kona, HI) and a cocktail called the Bitter End (a variation on the whiskey sour using Wild Turkey 101, Campari, and bitters). Tomo had the Solstice Lager (a 4.5% ABV lager by Stella Artois out of Leuven, Belgium) and Ahooga (a 7.8% ABV imperial pilsner by Hackesack Brewing out of Hackensack, NJ).

And because this is the 100th episode, we reviewed the 100th episode of the following iconic TV shows: Law & Order: SVU, The X-Files, The Office, and Star Trek: The Next Generation. Why four TV shows, you ask? Because we had four Johnnie Walker whiskeys to sample, that's why! Black Label, Gold Label Reserve, Johnnie Walker 18, and Blue Label.

    For Episode 68, we decided on an episode that has batshit crazy all over it, so we reviewed the two documentaries about the Fyre Festival. Netflix's Fyre: The Greatest Party That Never Happened and Hulu's Fyre Fraud had very distinct undertones from each other, but they both led to the inevitable conclusion: young people, with way more money than sense, are stupid. Also, we sampled Artisan Orchard Pineapple Cider (6% ABV). Problem is, it's actually an apple cider with pineapple juice in it, so... huh? Yeah, batshit crazy all around. So between the infuriating famous people endorsements (read: rich young people payed to lie), marketing companies trying to play down their intended goals, and a bad drink, we decided we would start our own festival. We will call it the Suds and Sucks Festival. Full explanation in episode. Oh, and we will hashtag the shit out of this episode, because... festival. Cheers!!!

    We're baaaack! At last, we were able to put together something for all you fine listeners out there in the podcast universe. In Episode 67, in honor of the approaching MLB playoffs, we review the 2003 Japanese horror/comedy/musical film, Battlefield Baseball. It was dubbed in French, and that worked really well for the viewing experience. We also reviewed Wrench, a 6.8% ABV Northeast IPA by Industrial Arts Brewing, out of Garnerville, NY. Not only is this one of the best IPA's we've ever tried, it is also the perfect beer for transitioning from summer into autumn. You need to go out and taste this beer! Now!! Before the baseball zombies get you!!! Cheers!!!

    Ep. 66 - We are back, and we delve right into the thick of things! We review the Netflix show "Insatiable" in the best way possible, and that is by enabling the German language dubbing. This is what we discovered: to a native English speaker, a German language dub is ridiculously distracting, the Quig has a weird condition that makes his showers most entertaining to watch (we'd imagine), and that Jack Williams of Essex, UK, might just be the coolest dude on the planet. Also, we had a very nice beer in the form of Kua Bay, a 7.3% ABV, delicious IPA by the Kona Brewing Company, out of Kailua Kona, Hawaii. So get some of this beer, and enjoy Episode 66! Cheers!!!

    In Episode 65, we wanted to show our gratitude to our UK listeners: to honor them we not only watched 'Cockneys vs. Zombies", but we also reviewed two beers! Einstok Pale Ale, out of Akureyri, Iceland, and Young's Double Chocolate Stout, out of Bedford, England! The show was also done from a pub in Manhattan, so the background noise should make everyone feel like they are in a cozy pub in the UK. We also figured out that zombie causing bacteria/viruses feed off the internet cloud, and we came up with a brilliant zombie movie idea that stars Nicolas Cage, Gerard Butler, Mike Tyson, Steven Seagal, Christopher Lloyd, Steve Martin, Martin Short, Ric Flair, Tracey Ullman, and Eric Trump! Wow, what a line up!! Thank you, UK listeners, and cheers!!!

    And just like that, the end is here! We conclude the 2019 WGOH?!? Best Tournament and pick what we think is the best Bond movie! We also close the tournament out with a beverage bang, as our Vesper martini with Monkey 47 gin (out of Schaberhof, south of Lossburg), Crystal Head vodka, and Noilly Prat Vermouth (we know it's not Lillet, we made an adjustment) got the highest grade we ever gave a drink on this show! Truly outstanding! Like we always say, if you're at a barbecue, and this is the only drink they are serving...you might wanna stage an intervention. :) Cheers!!!

    Episode 61 sees us through the first round of the Felix Leiter region, and one step closer to our finals. Four more movies have been chosen, a great Bond/MCU crossover idea has been floated (Kevin Feige, we're free to talk whenever you'd like), and the Vesper martini, although somewhat modified (we used Noilly Prat Vermouth instead of Kina Lillet), was just top notch.

    Episode 59 brings us Part 4 of the 2019 WGOH?!? Best Tournament, and we have determined which two movies enter the Sweet Sixteen of Bond movies! If going merely by box office numbers (accounted for inflation), we have one upset and one expected victory in this preparatory playoff stage. And in a What's Going On Here?!? first, we review a cocktail! Because we are entering serious Bond territory, our cocktail, of course, is a vodka Martini. Shaken, not stirred (obviously). For our vodka, we used Crystal Head Vodka (by Globefill Inc., out of Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada), and for our vermouth, we used Noilly Prat Extra Dry Vermouth (out of Marseillan, France). The drink got top scores, as you can tell by our reactions when we taste it. So tune in, compare your brackets to ours, and grab a drink! Cheers!!!

    The WGOH?!? Best Tournament continues with Episode 58! We get through the M Region and determine the second movie that goes on to the Sweet Sixteen Entry Playoffs. Nothing too controversial, we think. It is a well deserved win. Speaking of well deserved wins, in honor of the first picture of a black hole ever, and as a nod to Moonraker, we reviewed Low Earth Orbit. This 6.7% stout by the Alementary Brewing Company will definitely get you to a higher ground! So get some of this brew, and finish your Lower Tier Brackets! Cheers!!

We figured out, in a flash of inspiration, how Bond leads such a lavish lifestyle on a government salary (hint: he's a movie star/producer of a particular genre). We also review Oasis Dry Cider (6.7% ABV), by the Harvard Cider Company out of Boston, Massachusetts. It is brilliant! Cheers!!
