Whine And A Movie

Welcome to That Damned Book Club. We're searching for our new favorite horror novel. We do some research to find a new book for each episode, and just like a book club we talk through the book from cover to cover. We're talking themes, character development, writing style, full on nonsense. Read the book for each episode and come join the club! Find us wherever you get your podcasts.

This is a new view for A.J. and a repeat for Aleigh. We watch "Ready or Not," a 2019 thriller starring Samara Weaving, not Margot Robbie. It's a fun little romp where a rich family tries to kill their newest member in a game of hide and seek. So cute. We pair it with a lovely 2021 Zinfandel appropriately called Hunted.Metacritic Score: 64/100Movie Sync Notes: We watch "Ready or Not" on Amazon Prime. We start "Ready or Not" 5:27 into the pod, push play on part two at 1:11:18 into the pod, and push play on part three at 1:41:24 into the pod.

This episode we dip into the not-so-kid-friendly children's movie "Coraline." Such a good book and such a good movie. It's so creepy and is exactly like the kinds of movies we grew up with.  We honestly had no idea so many well known actors lent their voices to this project. We pair it with Melodramatic Macabre, a rich red blend that we thoroughly enjoyed.Metacritic Score: 80/100Movie Sync Notes: We watch "Coraline" on Amazon Prime. We start "Coraline" 4:17 into the pod, and push play on part two 1:08:02 into the pod.

We honestly can't remember the last time we watched an Angelina Jolie movie. "Wanted" is a fun one. It mixes a great cast (who are honestly better than this movie gives them credit for) and smashes them into a 2000s-style wild action movie that has a handful of mystery. And exploding rats. We pair it with Threadcount red blend. It goes with the story. We promise. Metacritic Score: 64/100Movie Sync Notes: We rented "Wanted" on Amazon Prime Video. We start "Wanted" 5:41 into the pod,  push play on part two 21:31 into the pod, and push play on part three 1:14:19 into the pod.

We're closing out the Scream saga (again) with "Scream 6." Woooo! We really enjoyed the previous installment, so why not keep going? We are both watching it for the first time so anything can happen. In keeping with tradition, we pair it with 19 Crimes Martha's Chard. It's a bit of a standard chardonnay, but for a such a big brand 19 Crimes knows what they're doing.Metacritic Score: 61/100Movie Sync Notes: We watched "Scream 6" for free on Paramount +. We start "Scream 6" 7:31 into the pod, and push play on part two 1:26:10 into the pod. 

Ok, so we're watching "The House Bunny" this episode and we didn't realize how many people were actually in this movie. Anna Faris, Emma Stone, Colin Hanks, Kat Dennings, Rumer Willis, Kathatine McPhee, and there are more. It's a cute little comedy that has more heart than you would think based on the trailer and promotional material. Plus, Faris always delivers in this type of comedy. We pair it with Dr. G Dry Riesling, which is super light and bright. We were completely shocked. It's great. As a bonus there is a cute little bunny on the label.Metacritic Score: 55/100Movie Sync Notes: We rented "The House Bunny" on Amazon Prime Video. We start "The House Bunny" 4:37 into the pod, and push play on part two 35:07 into the pod.

Kevin Williamson is at it again...getting teens killed by an over the top serial killer out in the middle of nowhere. This time it's in "I Know What You Did Last Summer," one of the more big-name teen slasher films of the late 90s/early 2000s era. The cast is chock full of popular actors of the time that appeared in a number of other movies together. They were almost a brat pack of the late 90s. We pair the movie with Wolffer Estate Summer In A Bottle Rose. It's a little pricier than our typical bottle, but it's honestly worth it. Def a crowd pleaser.Metacritic Score: 52/100Movie Sync Notes: We watch "I Know What You Did Last Summer" on Netflix. We start "I Know What You Did Last Summer" 4:47 into the pod, and push play on part two 1:08:35 into the pod.

This week we watch the original "Saw." This movie has had a huge impact on the horror genre. Sure, the acting isn't amazing, but the ideas are big and they pay off. I feel like this movie may have been the the prime reason for the popularity of escape rooms. We pair it with Jigsaw Pinot Noir. It really just went and fell into our laps. Work smarter, not harder.Metacritic Score: 46/100Movie Sync Notes: We watch "Saw" on Amazon Prime. We start "Saw" 7:19 into the pod, and push play on part two 1:06:42 into the pod.

We're not sure if anyone other than us remembers "Heartbreakers," so obviously it's right on brand for the pod. It tells the age old story of a mother and daughter who make a living swindling men out of money by pretending to fall in love with them. Along the way they get into a bunch of zany shenanigans. Clearly the pinnacle of Sigourney Weaver's career. We pair it with The Velvet Devil Merlot 2021. It's a solid red. Would recommend. We're also into the starkness of the label.Metacritic Score: 47/100 (but with a user score of 8.3/10. Yay!)Movie Sync Notes: We purchased the movie on Amazon Prime Video. We start "Heartbreakers" 9:10 into the pod, and push play on part two 1:15:57  into the pod.

Daniel Craig is out here digging through another mystery. Much like "Knives Out," "Glass Onion" is  modern Christie-style ensemble whodunit that hits it out of the park. The cast does really well with the material, and that's probably because the material is really good. We had a lot of fun postulating our way through this one and we think you will too. We pair it with The Seeker Sauvignon Blanc which we enjoyed so much that we finished it half way through the movie.Metacritic Score: 81/100Movie Sync Notes: We watched "Glass Onion" on Netflix. We start "Glass Onion" 10:55 into the pod, and push play part two 1:25:49 into the pod.

This episode is all about "Knives Out," the 2019 murder-mystery that kinda took the world by storm. It has a great cast, clearly a decent budget, awesome filming location, and great writing. There's plenty of humor peppered throughout as well. It's very Agatha Christie for the modern age which, as Christie fans, speaks to us. We pair it with Niepoort Douro Twisted Tinto 2020. It's a mineraly and dark fruity wine that we really enjoyed. Metacritic Score: 82/100Movie Sync Notes: We rented "Knives Out" on Amazon Prime Video. We start "Knives Out" 12:54 into the pod, ad push play on part two 1:23:59 into the pod.

They really nailed it with Shrek. That movie is still funny. And there are so many good performances in it. We can see why it spun off like thirty sequels and whatnot. We've never seen any of those, but the original is the way to go. We pair Shrek with Folklore Tinto from Castel Pujol. It is delicious. It's an absolute would-buy-again. It's a blend of Tannat and Petit Manseng grapes which lead to a bold but light and fruity red. Metacritic Score: 84/100Movie Sync Notes: We rented "Shrek" from Amazon Prime Video. We start "Shrek" 8:46 into the pod, and push play on part two 57:48 into the pod.

We're watching another Mel Brooks movie. This time it's the no-so-classic "Dracula: Dead and Loving It" from 1995. It's a fun little movie with a lot of the cast of "Robin Hood: Men In Tights" but with only like, half the laughs. But it's all ok because Leslie Nielsen is there and that's always a treat. We pair the movie with Vampire Pinot Noir. It's the rare occasion where we found a wine first and then divined the movie based on the wine label. The wine? Delicious.Tomatometer: 11%Movie Sync Notes: We rented the movie on Amazon Prime Video because it's just easier. We start "Dracula: Dead and Loving It" 12:59 into the pod, and push play on part two 1:13:33 into the pod.

It's every millennial's cult-favorite-deeper-meaning-too-cool-to-understand movie "Donnie Darko." It's a really solid movie with good performances and is well shot. Nostalgia keeps it feeling almost magical, but remove that history and it could be a little hokey. It's probably still cool enough to convince a slew of new teens that it might contain the meaning of life and death.  We'll see! We pair it with a Sauvignon Blanc called The Loop because of storyline reasons. Metacritic Score: 71/100Movie Sync Notes: We purchased "Donnie Darko" on Amazon Prime Video for $2.99. We start "Donnie Darko" 11:35 into the pod, and push play on part two 1:11:29 into the pod.

Can't believe it's Halloween time again. On one hand we're thankful because we're now too old for the summer heat. On the other hand another year is almost over and that means we're another year older. That means we have to watch "Shaun of the Dead." Def one of the best zombie movies out there. And it's a comedy. Love it. We pair it with Killibinin Scaredy Cat, a Cabernet Sauvignon/Shiraz blend from Australia. This is our third foray into Killibinbin, and they have yet to disappoint.Metacritic Score: 76/100Movie Sync Notes: We rent "Shaun of the Dead" on Amazon Prime Video. We start "Shaun on the Dead" 6:25 into the pod, and push play on part two 1:13:25 into the pod.

Happy Season 4 Premiere! Since it's Fall, we're kicking off our new season with a seasonally appropriate movie, "The Haunting." It's the 1999 reimagining of the the story originally told in the novel The Haunting of Hill House  by Shirley Jackson, and it's distinctly late-90's. This movie was so over the top that it proved to be great material for Scary Movie 2. We pair it with Sixth Sense Syrah.Metacritic Score: 42/100Movie Sync Notes: We watch a purchased version of "The Haunting" on Youtube. We start "The Haunting" 13:28 into the pod and push play on part two 1:17:35 into the pod.

We cannot express how much we love Scary Movie 2. It's a worthy successor. It may not be the pinnacle of the Scary Movie franchise (which is undoubtedly the first movie) but it's stupid and funny and parodies a good bunch of films. We want the Wayans brothers to make another movie in this genre because they are just so good at it. And Regina Hall had better be a part of it. We pair the movie with a Paso Robles Cabernet Sauvignon from Secret Cellars. The label really tries to sell you on the wine and it mostly delivers. Plum, light oak, vanilla. It's all there. Would def buy again.Metacritic Score: 29/100Movie Sync Notes: We watched a purchased version of "Scary Movie 2" on Youtube. We start "Scary Movie 2" 9:14 into the pod and push play on part two 53:04 into the pod.

It's time to get into "South Park: Bigger, Longer, & Uncut." We're just in time for the 25th anniversary of the series and knowing that we watched it when it premiered makes us feel old as hell. The movie is great. The topical comedy is so spot on that it still applies. We pair the movie with 2019 Rock View Reserve Pinot Noir which we absolutely loved.Metacritic Score: 73/100Movie Sync Notes: We watched "South Park: Bigger, Longer, & Uncut" on Paramount+. We start "South Park" 11:06 into the pod and push play on part two 58:49 into the pod.

This episode we watch 1996's "The Craft." It's the cultural staple that served us "Ya scared Sarah?" "I bind you Nancy." and "These are my gifts!"  This was definitely the piece of media that made us want to call the corners. What would we do without it? We pair it with a California Cab Sauv from Witching Hour. Blessed be.Metacritic Score: 55/100Movie Sync Notes: We watched "The Craft" on Amazon Video. We start "The Craft" 8:17 into the pod and push play on part two 1:04:13 into the pod.

FernGully was in regular rotation in our house when we were younger. I feel like it's one of the few well received animated movies for kids that wasn't made by Disney in the 90's. We personally think it's the sole inspiration for the movie Avatar because it's...the same story. We pair it with The Arborist from Vina Robles.Metacritic Score: 67/100Movie Sync Notes: We watched "FernGully: The Last Rainforest" on Amazon Video. We start "FernGully" 6:06 into the pod and push play on part two 1:09:45 into the pod.

It's that old classic story. Girl sees boy. Boy almost drowns. Girl saves boy. Girl changes her entire life to impress said boy. Boy completely dismisses her for another girl. Girls fight over boy. It's The Little Mermaid! The VHS I wore out as a child. We aren't Disney stans, but we are kind of obsessed with this movie. We pair it with Plungerhead Old Vine Zinfandel. It's weighty, dark, fruity, and balanced. Loved it. Metacritic Score: 88/100Movie Sync Notes: We watched "The Little Mermaid" on Disney+. We start "The Little Mermaid" 3:46 into the pod and push play on part two 52:11 into the pod.

We love "Charlie's Angels," so we're happy there's a sequel. What more could you want out of life? It's so over the top in comparison to the first outing, but it's truly just as fun...even if the physics make little to no sense. Most of the characters from the first movie are back, so it feels like an extension of the story more than anything else and we are here for it. We pair is with a 2020 bourbon barrel aged Cabernet Sauvignon called Barrel Heist and we kind of loved it. Why are we suckers for anything that comes from a bourbon barrel?Metacritic Score: 48/100Movie Sync Notes: We rented "Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle" on Amazon Video. We start "Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle" 12:08 into the pod and push play on part two 1:13:03 into the pod.

This week we watch "Disturbia," a modernized "Rear Window" of sorts starring Shia LaBeouf. The movie touts a solid cast and creative use of locations to retell an old story but with an exciting coat of fresh paint. We love it. We pair it with See Saw 2019 Chardonnay form Australia. Twas lovely. It had some interesting tasting notes that we don't usually find in a Chard but it worked. Metacritic Score: 62/100Movie Sync Notes: We rented "Disturbia" on Amazon Video. We start "Disturbia" 5:41 into the pod and push play on part two 54:37 into the pod.

The masterpiece that solidified Matthew Lillard as a national treasure. "Scooby-Doo" is a fun and mostly stupid visit to the world of the Scooby Gang set in the early 2000s. The cast is actually pretty ridiculous. Did they all nail it? No. But the effort is appreciated. We pair it with Ridgeback from Lion Hound. It's a red blend of shiraz, merlot, Grenache, cab sauv, and mourvedre. It was definitely red.Metacritic Score: 35/100Movie Sync Notes: We rented "Scooby-Doo" on Amazon Video. We start "Scooby-Doo" 9:15 into the pod and push play on part two 1:04:49 into the pod.

We felt like it was time to jump into some movies based on YA novels. It was going happen eventually. "The Hunger Games" is shockingly good, in a way that you're surprised that it wasn't total garbage. It's pretty faithful to the first book of the series and the acting is sufficient. Plus it gave us the gift of "That is mahogany!" which just keeps on giving. We fittingly pair it with a Pinot Noir called Tribute.Metacritic Score: 68/100Movie Sync Notes: We stream "The Hunger Games" on Amazon Video. We start "The Hunger Games" 8:15 into the pod and push play on part two 1:19:38 into the pod.

"Big Fish" is 100% a movie that makes us cry every single time. Are we gluttons for emotional punishment? Maybe. But the movie is so good! It's a great story that uses the fantastical to help people come to terms with their history and deal with loss. And it was made into a Broadway musical, which we're still mad about not seeing. We pair it with a Cabernet Sauvignon from True Myth.Metacritic Score: 58/100Movie Sync Notes: We stream "Big Fish" Netflix. We start "Big Fish" 10:07 into the pod and push play on part two 1:19:00 into the pod.

We're fiiiinally finishing the Scream franchise with "Scream" (2022)!!!! Until they release Scream 6 in 2023. We'll cross that bridge when we get to it. "Scream" (2022)  is so new that this both of our first time's watching it, so there's a lot of goops and gaggery. I'm not gonna spoil anything, but we loved it. We pair the movie with 19 Crimes The Warden, a red blend that we had to try out since we have a bottle of 19 Crimes for every Scream movie.Metacritic Score: 60/100Movie Sync Notes: We stream "Scream" (2022) on Paramount+. We start "Scream" 11:21 into the pod, and push play on part two 1:26:23 into the pod.

This episode we watch the 1991 reboot of "The Addams Family." And truthishly? Werk. This movie is peak Addams. It reimagines the beloved gothic family for a new generation with the perfect cast. I mean Anjelica Huston as Morticia? Amazing. Christina Ricci as Wednesday? Iconic. We pair the movie with a Cabernet Sauvignon from Little Black Dress.Metacritic Score: 57/100Movie Sync Notes: We streamed "The Addams Family" on Netflix. We start "The Addams Family" 5:17 into the pod, and push play on part two 1:00:13 into the pod.

Omg. "The Naked Gun" is so good. Watch it. Watch all three of them. Watch anything with Leslie Nielsen. They're all worth it. But "The Naked Gun" holds a special place in our hearts. In the same style as "Airplane," this movie nails slapstick. We pair the movie with a Chardonnay from Straight Shooter. Metacritic Score: 76/100Movie Sync Notes: We streamed "The Naked Gun" on Paramount Plus. We start "The Naked Gun" 6:55 into the pod, and push play on part two 58:14 into the pod.

Yikes. "High Tension" is the craziest horror movie we've watched on WAAM so far. It's an interesting watch. It hits hard and fast. Plus it's French, and you know their horror movies are always twisted. We pair it with a Red Blend called Primal Roots that we got into. The movie is also called "Switchblade Romance" in some places which I just learned right now.Metacritic Score: 42/100Movie Sync Notes: We rented "High Tension" on Amazon Prime Video. We start "High Tension" 6:39 into the pod, and push play on part two 53:25 into the pod.

I feel like "Dick Tracy" is one of those movies that doesn't get the limelight much these days, but it should. It's splashy and colorful with great music and tons of well-known actors. They manage to pull off a comic book style movie that actually looks like a comic book. And they won a few oscars while doing it. We pair the movie with Boom Boom Syrah from Washington State. Metacritic Score: 68/100Movie Sync Notes: We watch "Dick Tracy" on Amazon Prime. We start "Dick Tracy" 7:28 into the pod and push play on part two 1:07:39 into the pod.

This week we watch "The Babysitter," the first installment of Netflix's Horror/Comedy film series. It's a fun ride with a great cast of young-ish actors from an array of popular franchises that deliver some funny moments while still keeping a decent amount of gore. Where the story really shines is in the exploration of the friendship between the two lead characters: the babysitter and the babysat. We pair it with  When & Where presents The Kids Are Finally Asleep. It's a 2020 Chardonnay that we found to be very light and accessible.Rotten Tomatoes Score: 72%Movie Sync Notes: We watch "The Babysitter" on Netflix. We start "The Babysitter" 6:18 into the pod and push play on part two 54:40 into the pod.

We're finally watching one of the first movies we had on our list, "Airplane!" It's a true classic that laid the groundwork for so many movies that came after it. It's over 40 years old and people are still quoting tons of its lines whether they know the source material or not. I mean every line of the movie is a joke. It's deep and it's real. We pair it with a lovely 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon from Flying Cloud in Paso Robles, California. We highly recommend it. Metacritic Score: 78/100Movie Sync Notes: We rented "Airplane!" on Amazon Video. We start "Airplane!" 5:05 into the pod and push play on part two 50:59 into the pod.

It's that holiday time of year again. So to celebrate we're watching "The Nightmare Before Christmas." The movie that everyone seems to have a tattoo of. It's a good movie so I totally get it. We pair it with a pretty generic Italian Christmas Red, because "when in Rome" and all that. Metacritic Score: 82/100Movie Sync Notes: We watched "The Nightmare Before Christmas" on Disney+. We star "The Nightmare Before Christmas" 6:29 into the pod and push play on part two 57:33 into the pod.

Oh my dog it has been years since we've seen "Mars Attacks" and it did not disappoint. It never does. It's completely stupid in the best possible way. It's stylized. It's funny. And the music is great. We pair it with The Grape Abduction Company's Orange Blend Awesome Mix Vol. 1. It's a different wine than we're usually into, but it had an amazing label featuring an iridescent UFO so how could we not drink it?Metacritic Score: 52/100Movie Sync Notes: We watched "Mars Attacks" on Netflix. We start "Mars Attacks" 7:43 into the pod and push play on part two 1:07:49 into the pod.

In an interesting turn, we've decided to watch a well-regarded and critically acclaimed movie this episode. Weird right? It's "Freaky Friday"! The good one with Lindsay and Jamie. It's approachable and funny with good performances by most of the cast, especially Ms. Curtis. We pair it with When & Where presents Friday at Exactly 5:01pm. It's a 2020 Chenin Blanc that was definitely easy to drink.Metacritic Score: 70/100Movie Sync Notes: We watched "Freaky Friday" on Disney+. We start "Freaky Friday" 5:29 into the pod and push play on part two 59:33 into the pod.

It's neo-noir, 90's, ridiculous, and we love it. "Wild Things" is a crazy ride full of twists and turns and hilarious dialogue. If it were made today it would spawn countless memes because it's just that kind of movie. We really feel like they all thought they were making a hard-hitting film when making this movie. We pair it with (surprise, surprise) Wild Thing Old Vine Zinfandel. Bye Mister Lombardoooo!Metacritic Score: 52/100Movie Sync Notes: We watched the movie on Amazon. We start "Wild Things"  7:47 into the pod and push play on part two 1:07:48 into the pod.

We're keeping the Halloween spirit going with the Vampire vs. Werewolf packed "Underworld." This movie definitely has a vibe. Lots of production value, over the top action sequences, blue tint, and slow motion. It was a product of the early 2000s action movie formula and we are so appreciative. We pair it with a Pinot Noir from Bloodroot. Metacritic Score: 42/100Movie Sync Notes: We watched "Underworld" on Netflix. We start "Underworld" 4:38 into the pod and push play on part two 1:07:42 into the pod.

It's Halloween Season and to celebrate we're dipping into our horror-esque movie queue. First up is "Silent Hill," based on the video game series of the same name. Honestly, people gave this movie crap for not being the most faithful adaptation, but honestly it's not a bad movie. The production design is legit and the effort is real. And now we all want to be undead nurses. We pair it with a cabernet from Juicy Hill that only cost $7.99. This may have been the best wine we've had at this price point. We also enjoyed the minimalism of the label design.Metacritic Score: 31/100 (but for reference the user score is 7.9/10)Movie Sync Notes: We rented "Silent Hill" on Amazon Prime. It's also available on Starz or on Hulu with a Starz premium subscription. We start "Silent Hill" 6:08 into the pod, push play on part two 55:52 into the pod, and push play on part three 1:29:25 into the pod.

We don't know if "Anaconda" was a symptom of a bigger "when animals attack" problem in movies or if was the start of the trend. Either way we're here for it. What we're not here for is Angelina Jolie's dad's weird accent. We're pretty sure he just made it up as he went along. We pair "Anaconda" with Predator Old Vine Red. It was...interesting. Our working theory is that we got a bad bottle. Metacritic Score: 37/100Movie Sync Notes: We found "Anaconda" on Hulu with a regular subscription. Yay! We start "Anaconda" 4:38 into the pod, push play on part two 26:35 into the pod, and push play on part three 1:02:52 into the pod.

"America. F*ck yeah!" Matt Stone and Trey Parker take everything they learned from "South Park" and rip everyone apart in "Team America: World Police" and we are here for it. Just the idea of doing a feature length comedy with marionettes is worth the price of admission. We pair it with a cabernet sauvignon called The Federalist because the label is so American that we couldn't pass it up. Metacritic Score: 64/100Movie Sync Notes: We watch the movie on Netflix. We start "Team America" 8:00 into the pod, and push play on part two 1:13:07 into the pod. 

Welcome to the Season 3 Premiere of Whine and a Movie! It's gonna be great. We're kicking it off with the only home invasion movie we can stomach, "You're Next." It's a twisty trip that gets you cheering for the hero, and not in an underdog way. She's like, legit. We pair the movie with a red blend called 2017 Daring Escape Red. It really fit the bill. The wine is good and the label is perf.Metacritic Score: 66/100Movie Sync Notes: We watched the movie for free on Hulu. We start "You're Next" 6:41 into the pod, and push play on part two 59:16 into the pod.

We're wrapping up Kill Bill and Season 2 of Whine and a Movie all in one episode. When it's right, it's right. Kill Bill Vol. 2 has it all. There's fight scenes, emotion, backstabbing, eye plucking, astonishingly long training sequences. What's not to love? We pair it with a Riesling of all things from Kung Fu Girl, and it was so good. We were worried that it would taste like alcoholic sugar water and it absolutely does not. 100% would buy again.Metacritic Score: 83/100Movie Sync Notes: We rented the movie on Amazon Prime. We start "Kill Bill Vol. 2" 4:46 into the pod, and push play on part two 51:20 into the pod.

"Abbott & Costello Meet Frankenstein" is definitely the oldest movie we've watched on the pod, but it's so good! The humor holds up. And so does a lot of the fashion, which is surprising. We pair it with a 2019 The Wolftrap Syrah which has a great name and was honestly pretty good.Tomatometer Score: 89%Movie Sync Notes: We rented the movie on Amazon Prime. We start "Abbott & Costello Meet Frankenstein" 5:48 into the pod, push play on part two 18:43 into the pod, and push play on part three 1:13:14 into the pod.

"X-Men" jumpstarted then current superhero movie boom...and then the series faded into obscurity. But the first outing is really good considering it came out in 2000. Sure, "X2" is considered the peak of the franchise, but it had to start somewhere. We can't believe they got so many heavy-hitters in this movie. We pair it with 2019 Evolution Pinot Noir from the Willamette Valley.Metacritic Score: 64/100Movie Sync Notes: We rented the movie on Amazon Prime. We start "X-Men" 7:58 into the pod, and push play on part two 1:12:08 into the pod.

This episode we watch "Who Framed Roger Rabbit?" the well-loved 1988 Robert Zemeckis hit that still holds up today. Shockingly, the animation still looks great. Even more shockingly, it's still funny. To say it aged well would be doing it a disservice. It just hasn't aged. But we have and that's gross. We pair it with a 2013 Killibinbin Seduction Cabernet Sauvignon. This isn't the first time we've tried Killibinbin and it probably won't be the last.Metacritic Score: 83/100Movie Sync Notes: We watch the movie on Disney+. We start "Who Framed Roger Rabbit?" 7:00 into the pod, push play on part two 1:09:25 into the pod, and push play on part three 1:28:12 into the pod.

This episode we watch the 2001 reimagining of the horror classic "Thirteen Ghosts" starring Shaggy and Monk. It's got some good ideas and seriously stylized production design. We live. We pair it with Juggernaut Russion River Pinot Noir, which I am honestly going out and buying again this afternoon. It's one of our priciest bottles at $19.99, but it was worth it. Metacritic Score: 30/100Movie Sync Notes: We rented the movie on Amazon Prime. We start "Thirteen Ghosts" 5:54 into the pod, and push play on part two 1:04:37 into the pod.

We're finally watching "Beetlejuice." You've heard of it, right? Sure it's a movie about people dying, but it's all in good fun. At least they get a handbook. At this point the movie is a classic with a probable sequel in the works. We're excited. We pair the movie with Boneshaker, a 2019 Zinfandel that actually ended up being great. Metacritic Score: 70/100Movie Sync Notes: We rented the movie on Amazon Prime. We start "Beetlejuice" 3:07 into the pod, and push play on part two 51:33 into the pod.

"Spice World" doesn't need a cute introduction. It's "Spice World." It's amazing. We always want (really really want) more of it. And it actually looks like we might with mutterings about a new Spice Girls movie in the works. But where is our damn US leg of the reunion tour?! We pair the movie with a lovely 2019 Red Blend called Silk & Spice...because spice. Metacritic Score: 32/100Movie Sync Notes: We purchased and watched the movie on Youtube. We start "Spice World" 10:57 into the pod, push play on part two 46:06 into the pod, and push play on part three 1:21:24 into the pod.

Let's set the scene: A beautiful beachside country club. A warm, boozy summer. A new girl trying to fit in. Conventionally "attractive" people all over the place. A potentially unhinged murderer hell-bent on doing anything she can to maintain her queen bee status. Sounds like a summer of fun! But that's "The In Crowd." Where the rich kids keep down the other rich kids. It's a fun watch. Plus, it shows you a whole new way to apply lip gloss, which looks cool but seems impractical. We pair it with Cameleon, a 2018 Chardonnay from Mendoza, Argentina. Metacritic Score: 14/100Movie Sync Notes: We watched the movie on Amazon Prime, where you can stream it for free. We start "The In Crowd" 7:21 into the pod, and push play on part two 1:04:05 into the pod.

::Insert Mortal Kombat Scream Here::Adults everywhere were pissed that a popular video game was full of so much violence that people decided to make a movie about it and we're all grateful. Mortal Kombat (1995) is a shlocky action film with some terrible dialogue that actually has some decent fight sequences. Sure it feels like it should be a SyFy original movie called "Demon Fight Saga Tournament" or something stupid but we love it anyway. And the soundtrack? I don't want to live in a world without it. We pair it with a 2014 The Immortal Zin. The label looks semi-homemade but the wine is good.Movie Sync Notes: We watch the movie on Amazon Prime. We start "Mortal Kombat" 5:39 into the pod, and push play on part two 58:17 into the pod.
