We Drink & We Watch Things

We are wrapping up our 2026 Summer Blockbusters lineup with the grandest, most ambitious titan of the season: Nolan's massive, star-studded adaptation of The Odyssey. Shot entirely on new IMAX film cameras across global locations, this 172 minute mythic action epic is easily the biggest cinematic event of July.To fuel ourselves for a ten year journey home, Mackenzie is serving up a refreshing custom cocktail - The Lotus Flower - but it packs a punch strong enough to make you forget your own homeland.This week, we dive into how Nolan takes Homer's foundational, 3,000 year old poem and turns it into a high-stakes blockbuster. We discuss Matt Damon's fiercely physical performance as Odysseus, capturing a king who is a brilliant, wily strategist but entirely worn down by war and cosmic obstacles. We gush over the incredible ensemble cast, highlighting Anne Hathaway's fierce, resilient Penelope, Tom Holland's raw and restless turn as Telemachus, the scene-stealing presence of Zendaya as Athena, and Charlize Theron as Calypso. We also break down the film's spectacular, practical effects heavy encounters, from the terrifying scale of the Cyclops Polyphemus to the haunting sound design of the Sirens, and analyze how Hoyte van Hoytema's breathtaking cinematography makes ancient myth feel completely immediate and real.If you have your tickets booked for the nearest 70mm IMAX screen, or if you just want to hear us debate how Nolan managed to make a three hour ancient Greek poem feel like a relentless sci-fi thriller, this is the episode you need. We are blending our awe for a master filmmaker at the absolute peak of his craft with our usual casual banter, making this the true, definitive grand finale of our summer blockbuster coverage. The gods have spoken.This episode VIDEO is live on YouTube AND Spotify!Follow us on Instagram to get ep sneak peaks and find out what's coming up.

Supernatural with Ashley Flowers

For millennia, the legend of Medusa has haunted the human imagination, a creature so terrifying that a single glance could turn the living to stone. While most dismiss her as pure mythology, some researchers point to serpentine monsters appearing independently across ancient cultures and ask: were they all describing the same thing? But look closer at Medusa's story, and something shifts. Because some say she wasn't born a monster; she was made into one.  For a full list of sources, please visit: sosupernaturalpodcast.com/mystical-medusa Did you know you can listen to So Supernatural ad-free?

Welcome back to The Conner & Smith Show!This week, Matt, Ryan, and Stephen continue our American Summer series with Episode 205: Summer Blockbusters—a celebration of the movies that turned summer into Hollywood's biggest season and became the soundtrack of our vacations, school breaks, and childhood memories.In this episode, we dive into the history of the summer blockbuster, exploring how films like Jaws changed the movie industry forever and ushered in an era of event filmmaking that continues today. Along the way, we share the blockbuster films that defined our own summers, discuss unforgettable trips to the movie theater, and reminisce about the excitement of standing in line for opening weekend, giant buckets of popcorn, and the shared experience of seeing a movie with a packed audience.From sharks and spaceships to superheroes, dinosaurs, adventurers, and aliens, we explore the films that have become part of America's summer tradition and examine why certain movies continue to capture our imaginations decades later. We also reflect on how summer blockbusters have evolved, what makes a true blockbuster, and the special place these films hold in our own lives.Whether you're revisiting a favorite classic, discovering a new summer tradition, or simply remembering the thrill of escaping into an air-conditioned theater on a hot July afternoon, this episode is filled with nostalgia, laughter, and a celebration of the movies that have made summer unforgettable.

We Drink & We Watch Things

We have officially reached the penultimate film of our 2026 Summer Blockbusters lineup with the absolute biggest, wildest surprise smash hit of the entire year: Curry Barker's independent supernatural horror phenomenon, Obsession. Made on a micro-budget, this movie completely took over the box office, shattered all expectations, and left audiences absolutely stunned.To help handle the intense psychological discomfort of this modern cautionary tale, Mackenzie cooked up this week's custom cocktail - none other than The One Wish Willow - a smoky mezcal paired with blood colored berries to go with the gore.This week, we dive headfirst into the terrifying world of the One Wish Willow. We analyze Michael Johnston's performance as Bear, the music store employee who uses a mysterious novelty item to make his crush fall in love with him, and we absolutely gush over Inde Navarrette's star-making, powerhouse performance as Nikki. We break down the unsettling way the film balances pitch-black comedy with genuine dread, highlighting those deeply eerie, shadow-draped scenes that force you to scan the corners of the screen. We also debate the film's brilliant take on the "nice guy" trope, looking at how Bear becomes the true villain of his own story by stripping away Nikki's freedom just to satisfy his own ego. It is a tense, jaw-dropping, and deeply thought-provoking discussion that will make you rethink your dating life.If you want to hear us break down the exact moment this movie shifts from an awkward romantic comedy into a full-blown nightmare, this is the grand finale you cannot miss. We are blending our awe for a fresh new voice in horror with our usual banter to bring our summer blockbuster marathon to a triumphant, spine-chilling close.This episode VIDEO is live on YouTube AND Spotify!Follow us on Instagram to get ep sneak peaks and find out what's coming up.

We Drink & We Watch Things

Our 2026 Summer Blockbusters tour takes a deeply unsettling, mind-bending turn this week on We Drink & We Watch Things. We are trading the bloody arena fights of Mortal Kombat II for the quiet, endless, fluorescent-lit nightmare of Kane Parsons' feature directorial debut, Backrooms. Distributed by A24, this psychological horror transforms a viral internet phenomenon into a genuinely terrifying study of grief, memory, and architecture gone completely wrong.To help suppress the existential dread of being trapped in a parallel universe, Lemar has given us our cocktail of the week - The Captain & Clark - a pale, yellow rum cocktail you'll want to sip on. It is crisp, a little bitter, and the perfect drink for when you feel like you are losing your grip on reality.This week, we unpack the incredible performances of Chiwetel Ejiofor as Clark, the struggling furniture store owner who stumbles into a gateway in his basement, and Renate Reinsve as Mary, his therapist who gets pulled into the labyrinth with him. We dissect how the film captures the deeply creepy aesthetic of "liminal spaces" - those beige corridors, dead malls, and glitching, digital sandbox environments that feel completely empty yet intensely hostile. We also talk through the film's hidden layers, examining how these infinite yellow rooms function as a physical manifestation of Clark and Mary's unresolved trauma, and why Mark Duplass's character adds the perfect amount of unsettling gravitas to the lore.If you are a fan of the original YouTube shorts, or if you just love a horror film that trades cheap jump-scares for absolute psychological claustrophobia, this is an episode you cannot miss. We are blending our fascination with this new wave of internet-born cinema with our usual casual banter, proving that the only thing scarier than being entirely alone is the sinking feeling that you aren't.This episode VIDEO is live on YouTube AND Spotify!Follow us on Instagram to get ep sneak peaks and find out what's coming up.

Summer blockbuster season is officially heating up here at We Drink & We Watch Things, and we are kicking off our high-octane July lineup with a return to the absolute pinnacle of cinematic bloodbaths: Simon McQuoid's newly released Mortal Kombat II. It turns out we needed a drink just to handle the pure, unadulterated CGI gore.To steel our nerves for the arena, Mackenzie has designed our cocktail this week - Kitana's Revenge - a gorgeous and delicious tequila concoction that looks exactly like it sounds. Trust us, after watching what this movie does to its characters, you'll need it.This week, we tackle the massive new additions to the roster, starting with Karl Urban's delightfully cocky, washed-up, convention-circuit iteration of Johnny Cage. We dissect the absolute madness of the narrative - from the 10th consecutive tournament stakes to the chaotic interdimensional politics of Outworld - and break down the arrival of fan-favorites like Kitana, Jade, and Martyn Ford's massive, menacing Shao Kahn. We also gloat over our favorite crowd-pleasing, gory fights, marveling at how a movie can be so unapologetically unhinged with its bisections and impalements while still trying to give us a genuine emotional arc about Cole Young and a redeemed Kung Lao. It's a loud, silly, and delightfully brutal adaptation that hits like a straight punch to the jaw.If you've spent the last month practicing your upper-cuts, or if you just want to hear us debate whether Karl Urban successfully channels the classic arcade energy of the 90s, this is the round you've been waiting for.
