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

We may be a little late for Valentine's Day, but that didn't stop this couple from heading to the theater to check out the new holiday-themed slasher film from Josh Ruben. We enjoyed Heart Eyes well enough, but we also talk criticism of some of the ways this film fails to pair rom-com and slasher elements together succinctly. We'e also drinking Paradox x Stewart's Mountain Brew beer!

THE CAT O' NINE TAILS

Our goal was to get to some more gialli this year, so we're starting off with Dario Argento's second film The Cat O' Nine Tails. This one is technically a giallo but has a lot more in common with Italian poliziotteschi than anything else, and interestingly it refrains from dealing in most of the common tropes of the sub-genre. We talk about the somewhat mundane plotting of this murder mystery, the pseudo-science of XYY chromosomes, and Argento's beginnings. We're also drinking Ommegang x Other Half's Neon Gleam double-dry hopped IPA!

BUTCH CASSIDY AND THE SUNDANCE KID

Ah, the sounds of Burt Bacharach... the camaraderie of two gentlemen with nothing between them besides wide open plains... the handsome face of Robert Redford. How can you beat a movie like Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid? Well, you can't, and we talk about all the ways this Paul Newman/Redford vehicle just simply works as a marker in Americana. We're also drinking Tree House Brewing's 10th Canniversary double IPA!
