07/02/20 • 35 min
For their 100th episode, Bob and Brad mix up what's probably the world's most famous whiskey cocktail: the Old Fashioned.

First, they start with Blue Note Bourbon and Riverset Rye whiskeys, and then they introduce and review simple syrups from Root 23, bitters from The Bitter Bottle, and finally, a "just add whiskey" syrup mix from Proof syrups.

Life of Pi / Old Grand-Dad Bottled-in-Bond
Bob and Brad watch the 2012 film Life of Pi, the winningest film at the 2013 Oscars, including Best Director for Ang Lee. They discuss the framing device of "older Pi" telling "younger Pi's" story, as well as the performances of stars Suraj Sharma and Irrfan Khan. Meanwhile, they try the 100-proof version of Old Grand-Dad and review what it means for a whiskey to be called "bottled in bond."

Double Indemnity / Old Grand-Dad 114
Bob and Brad throw it back to 1944 for the Billy Wilder classic Double Indemnity. This is their second Wilder film and their first true film noir. Aside from breaking down the excellent performances by Feed MacMurray, Barbara Stanwyck and Edward G. Robinson, they spend some time on Wilder as both director and screenwriter, before diving into a discussion of what exactly constitutes "film noir."
Meanwhile, they finish out the extraordinarily underwhelming Old Grand-Dad line with the 114-proof expression.
