Blood and Black Rum Podcast - A Cult Film / Horror Podcast

Merry Christmas Eve! We close out our Festivus Series for 2021 with one of the most iconic holiday films, 1990's Home Alone! This John Hughes-written classic has always been one of Ryne's favorites, and we basically just discuss our favorite moments from the movie in one long dialogue about its greatness! You'll hear our favorite lines, traps, and more, and we hope you enjoy our breakdown of why the police officer in this movie has poor priorities. Also, we're drinking Drekker Brewing Company's BRAAAAAAAAINS Blueberry+Lemon double smoothie sour.

Episode 197: Festivus Series | CHRISTMAS EVIL

1 Recommendations

We continue our Festivus Series in 2021 with Christmas Evil, a film that Martin really didn't like. But that's okay, because Ryne really digs it, so we get a good discussion going about what works, what doesn't work, and why some people hate it and some people really love it. Christmas Evil is a weird movie, and it takes some appreciation to get past some of the rawer editing and absurdities. However, we see it from both sides, making for a good dialogue about the film. We hope you feel the same!

We're drinking District 96's Sleeveless Flannel Winter Ale!

Episode 199: CREEP

Back to business with a new episode of the podcast - of course, we're not following a theme anymore so we wanted to cover our first found-footage movie on the show. We're in good hands with 2014's Creep starring Mark Duplass as a deranged guy who stalks our first-person perspective victim. This movie gets around all of the contextual issues found-footage films normally have trouble with, and we discuss what Creep does right to put it ahead of the pack. We're also drinking - random stuff! Including Kojiki Japanese whisky.
