The Revenant / Mellow Corn
Bob and Brad look back on 2015's The Revenant, known in kinder parts of the internet as the film that finally netted star Leonardo DiCaprio his Oscar. The guys are in the unique position of being able to compare it to the recently-viewed Birdman, and they discuss the recurring tendencies of both director Alexandro G. Inarritu and cinematographer Emmanuel Lubezki.
Meanwhile, they continue the Springtime of Swill with Mellow Corn, the first corn whiskey they've tried on the show. This is a brand with a dedicated cult following, but how will it stack up to the other budget whiskeys they've tried this spring?
