This was done quickly, as we went to a theater for the first time in 2025, and discovered a flawed but very exciting movie. A movie overflowing with ideas, energy, humor, and visual panache. I’m posting this after a long night at the winery where I hosted a private event for VC’s, so forgive any slapdash element of this. I have to go pass out now. To get up early tomorrow so I can take a meeting for a Blu Ray commentray track I’m also working on. How am I still poor?!?
In this episode we cover why Ryan Coogler’s SINNERS is such an important release at this specific moment in cinematic history.

Dallas’ Pairing:
Traditional Dry is an award winning mead that is made with 100% pure Mississippi Honey.

Dave’s Pairing:
Pendray’s Blood Orange Amaro Liqueur
Amaro is Italian for bitter. Pendray’s Amaro is a blood orange, herbal liqueur that has a bitter-sweet flavor and can be consumed as a digestif, a mixer, with tonic water, or as we like it, neat. A brandy base made from blood oranges, steeped in a proprietary blend of herbs, spices, fruits, seeds, and oils.
