Thirty films, countless drinks, and at least a few questionable life choices later… Season One of Inebriated Cinephiles is in the books. In this episode we’re taking a look back at the good, the bad, and the occasionally baffling—from the movies that blew us away to the ones that left us checking the wheel for a refund. We’ll also be revisiting the drinks that hit the spot, the ones that… didn’t, and everything in between. Pour something cheery and join us as we close out the season, reflect on the chaos, and look ahead to what’s coming next!

This week we’re getting into Weapons, a dark and cryptic mystery from director Zach Cregger. It begins with a disappearance, and from there the questions, and disappearances, only multiply. What happened? Who’s responsible? And why does every answer seem to lead somewhere even stranger? As is the formula in films like this, the town gets quieter, the music gets creepier, and absolutely no one seems willing to give a straight answer. Pour yourself something strong that goes down easy and join us as we sift through the clues, the tension, and the creeping suspicion that something very wrong is hiding just beneath the surface.

After nearly a full year of dodging it, roasting it, and cheekily predicting its cinematic destiny, the wheel finally served up a dish of fate for our Season One finale: Madame Web. From the moment it was announced, we had… questions, and for months, we’ve bantered about what we might be in for. We no longer have to imagine. Was it secretly misunderstood genius? Perhaps a bold expansion of the Spider-Verse? ...Maybe... Or might it be a masterclass in how to say lines that feel like they were translated twice and then left out in the desert sun in July? Pour something strong for yourself this week—preferably something that causes you to blackout and forget—and join us as we unravel spider-visions, baffling choices, and a pair of the most perfectly shaped redeeming qualities in the modern film age.

This week, we’re stepping into the glass-and-concrete mind palace of Ex Machina—Alex Garland’s sleek, unsettling meditation on artificial intelligence, manipulation, and what it really means to be human. With Domhnall Gleeson caught between genius and madness, Alicia Vikander delivering a quietly haunting performance, and Oscar Isaac doing… whatever Oscar Isaac is doing, this one simmers with tension from front to back. Pour something clean and precise—maybe a minimalist gin cocktail—and join us as we explore consciousness, control, and the dangers of thinking you’re the smartest person in the room.

Get your s*** because we're headed to Montenegro for the high-stakes, high-style reinvention of 007 in Casino Royale. Daniel Craig makes his debut as James Bond in this sharp, grounded reboot that brings grit, heart, and a lot of broken glass to the franchise. Tonight, we’re sipping the drink that started it all—the Vesper Martini—so join us as we unpack the poker, the parkour, and the pain behind the tux. Cheers!

This week, we’re chasing down Catch Me If You Can—Spielberg’s slick, stylish take on the true story of Frank Abagnale Jr., the teenager who conned his way across the country as a pilot, doctor, and lawyer. With DiCaprio at his charming best and Tom Hanks in hot pursuit, it’s a fast, funny, and surprisingly heartfelt ride. We suggest a martini tonight—something sharp like Frank—or really just whatever they’re serving in first class. And now, join us as we dig into this endlessly watchable cat-and-mouse classic.

We’re pouring something irresponsibly expensive for this one, because this week, we're having a look at The Wolf of Wall Street—Scorsese’s gloriously unhinged tale of excess and ego. From Leo’s legendary one-take crawl to the Lambo to Jonah Hill’s prosthetic teeth to Matthew McConaughey's chest-thumping, it’s a three-hour sprint through sex, scams, and sleazy salesmanship. Join us as we get lit and break down surely the most entertaining cautionary tale money can buy.

Are you watching closely? We sure hope so, because this week we're having a look at Christopher Nolan's The Prestige—a story about illusion and obsession, and the second film in our very first twofer pairing. Get ready for dueling magicians, doubles, diaries, and David Bowie as Nikola Tesla (yes, really). Join us for drinks, and let's see how this one stacks up against The Illusionist from last week.
