For good behavior, my fifth grade class was awarded with a monthly movie. Somewhere in there, Watership Down made the cut. It’s a weird, whacked-out animated film that crawled into my nightmares for several weeks after. As a...ahem..children’s movie, this sum’bitch tackles some heavy subjects: Death, forced labor, extinction, deforestation, etc. Bunnies are ripping each other’s throats out, people! My wife and I have a son on the way, and he will NOT be watching this movie. At least ’till he’s thirty, anyway. So, yeah, the boys and I booze it up and watch Watership Down. Discussion follows. And probably therapy after that. We drink a little bubbly, rose, and Scotch for my upcoming ebook, which will pair wine (and a little whiskey) with movies.

The Rock (Boothby)

This week, we screen an over-the-top 90s classic, The Rock. We got cornball one-liners, frantic Michael Bay direction, and a wacky chase through the streets of San Francisco. While we’re talking about the City by the Bay, the boys and I drink a cocktail that’s long been a local favorite. It’s called a Boothby, and here’s a little more info: 1 oz. Bourbon 1 oz. Sweet Vermouth 2 dashes bitters Pour over ice in a cocktail shaker, serve over ice. Top it with a splash of dry bubbly. Garnish with a cherry if you like!

We all watched Joker, and we all have strong opinions from it. For this surprise episode, we talk about Joaquin Phoenix’s incarnation of the Joker. Plus, we drink some tasty red wine.
