Well now. Maybe America will have given the world something worthwhile in 2025 after all. (Pope Leo XIV, yo.)

I will forever be baffled how malt and “malted” flavor items aren’t more popular. Once upon a time it was one of THE geat American flavors. It’s about time it made a comeback.

It's legit removepaywalls.com#google_vigne...

Spoken like someone who never had less than 30 dolls.

Our INTERVIEW with MEGALOPOLIS co-star HALEY SIMS is now LIVE! Haley is an excellent storyteller, and she wals us through the wild audition process, filming, wrapping three times, sudden stunt training, and more! Listen on your podcast platform of choice or at the link below!

You're welcome, Canada. We're also still very, very sorry. But also, you're welcome.

How did no one ever cast Ray Wise and Sam Neill as related to each other?!? Damn, missed opportunity. (Can you imagine these two legends on the same screen?)

You Survived Easter! No small feat given the new Peeps that The Company rolled out this year… And did you see that we actually found one (and only one!) Wine and Peeps Pairing this year? (Note: the pairing is real, real to the end.) vintertainmentstudios.com/p/the-ultima...

THIS. Is the only thing that matters in America right now. The crisis is here. Not 6 months from now. Not maybe. It’s fully happening. Everyone is going to have a tomorrow that looks roughly like today with the tarrifs. We won’t with this. www.youtube.com/watch?v=JN1o...

The current trade war in a singe frame.

God dammit I hate April the 1st. I’m too gullible for this shit.

"TikTok is not going to give you the empathy that spending 300 pages inside the mind of someone else will." --Logan Ury, Behavioural Scientist and Director of Relationship Science at Hinge, on the necessity of reading fiction. This is an incredible conversation. Especially the second half.

Oooo! Following this one for sure.

Oh…jeez…actor / stuntman / martial artist RICHARD NORTON passed away this weekend - right after I watched CHINA O’BRIEN 1 & 2 for the very first time! Even James Gunn knew what a loss this was. Time for an “in memorium” marathon of his best movies.

Yep

When the wine hails from "Chateau Vineyards" you know it at least came from a vineyard. Good enough for me.

TV and Wine time! Special guest tv/film culture writer Beth Lisogorsky joins us to cover the OG first Season of White Lotus. How does it hold up? Especially on revisit? And then you need to drink something special to survive rich people, so we hook you the ***k UP. Listen at your leisure.

Every. Single. Time I stopped petting him. I swear.

Our latest Vintertainment podcast ep is live! We cover the Autobiography of Rick James, and of course pair wines with such a talented, troubled soul. And on that note, we make sure to tackle the topic of addiction and sobriety, especially important to discuss on a wine-themed show!

One thing I love about the modern world: if anyone catches you talking to yourself, you can pretend you have earbuds or whatever and holding a real back and forth conversation. That's actually MORE psychotic yet nobody bats an eye. 😜

Whooo! My second guest appearance on Fanbase Weekly podcast! Trust me: YOU DID NOT KNOW YOU NEEDED "BABY: SECRET OF THE LOST LEGEND" IN YOUR LIFE BUT YOU DO!!! Horrible title. Enthralling movie. Sits in that adult/kids uncanny valley of the 80's alongside Temple of Doom and Howard the Duck!

DUUUUUUUDE. Our new podcast logo. By the great @mattasorcier.bsky.social. More very soon.

Now watching, for the first time ever. (I'm mildly ashamed to say ) Is there a great work of cinema you've been sitting on for far too long?

Derpie derp derp. This is how lions who don't gaf kick back in public*. *Okay, at home on the couch when they don't know anyone's looking let alone has a camera. #cats #derps

Our Valentine's Day episode is out in the wild! Fun tidbits like the below and more + which wine do you pair with it? www.buzzsprout.com/2087995/epis...

There is a GODZILLA VS. X-MEN comic coming out in May. This scene by @neocomicart.bsky.social Neo will not appear in it. (Because this is a commission, not because it's a rejected scene.) But the comic is all the poorer for it.

While we all celebrate today with our respective Superbowl activities let's also celebrate the first women's professional tackle football league in the 1970s - THE HERRICANES. Rent or purchasing a copy of HERRICANES to learn about this largely forgotten slice of American sports history!

Okay, maybe I'm a football guy after all....

It's like a galaxy in a glass. #sparklingalvarinho #portuguesewine

Haven't seen this since the theater! But it's love month, y'all. And we *might* just be talking about this one on our upcoming V-day episode. #wineandshakespeare #MercutioIsStillAHottie

We have an EPIC non-alcoholic wine tasting coming up. We have EIGHTEEN Premium and Ultra-Premium NoLo wines, 4 sparkling, 3 still whites, and 8 still reds + one "reduced alcohol" red (3.5% abv) and two full alc versions of the exact same wine to taste next to their no-alc counterparts. Coming soon!

Wine for kittens! Kitty deserves a glass (well, a bowl. A "bowl"? What is this, cat marijuana? Well, yes, actually, that's what it is, in liquid form.) Pour a bowl for kitty, then take pictures of their before and after, like I did with Kirara here. He had a gooooood time.

Hold Trump and Elon to the same standards you held Biden and Harris. If you can't do that, you're just a partisan and culture warrior, and not even a sincere one.

There'll be time tomorrow to come to terms with what's happening. Tonight I think it's best just to get quite pissed.

Endure. Persevere. Survive. Help your people. Get a little tougher and meaner but don’t let it poison your heart.

I really, REALLY want to hear from all those people who said they “took Trump seriously but not literally” now. He is literally doing his laundry list of things he said he’d do. On Day 1.
