  • ONE CUT OF THE DEAD (2017) w/ Screenwriter Mark Palermo: Paired with Wines - and a Hard Ice Cream Float - that Embody the Punk Rock Inventiveness of Indie Filmmaking
    Jun 10 2026

    Sen Us Your Thoughts!

    THIS EPISODE CONTAINS ALL THE SPOILERS! ALL OF THEM! GO WATCH THIS MOVIE BEFORE LISTENING! AND DEFINITELY DO WATCH THIS MOVIE!

    With special guest, Screenwriter MARK PALERMO, writer of one of my Top 5 movies of all time, DETENTION (2011). Also podcast host for MOVIES AND CHAOS and writer for the The Retroscope zine.

    ONE CUT OF THE DEAD is not-really a horror film that was made for $30,000 by a director whose ethos was: you need to make 200-300 movies before you can make a single good one!

    We do argue whether that’s actually necessary, certainly at that nutty number, but one thing is certain: Ueda made something AMAZING with One Cut off the Dead.

    The film soon reveals itself, and it is a celebratory, life-affirming, wild, comedic, charming, unforgettable filmwatching experience by the time the second (?) credits roll.

    THE WINES (and Hard Ice Cream Float)

    • FINAL GIRLS WINE 2023 “Frankenfizz” Piquette of Sangiovese
    • 2014 Fiddlehead Cellars “728” Pinot Noir, Fiddlestix Vineyard, Sta. Rita Hills
    • Vodka Root Beer Float (instructions below)

    Instructions

    • Split a can of soda between two large glasses and then add a shot of vodka to each.
    • Carefully drop two scoops of either dairy dairy-free ice cream into each glass (if you have an ice cream that is cinnamon or coconut flavored - or both! - it makes it even better), and then top off with remaining can of root beer.
    • Slurp, scoop, and enjoy.

  • BOTTLE SHOCK (2008) Paired with the Objectively Superior Cabernet and New World Syrah
    Jun 2 2026

    Sen Us Your Thoughts!

    We finally tackle a WINE movie! And since the 50th anniversary of the Judgment of Paris was last week, we had to cover the (highly fictionalized) movie that was made about the event. We're talking the rather silly and otherwise forgettable BOTTLE SHOCK starring Alan Rickman, Bill Pullman, Chris Pine, and Chris Pine's wig.

    Dig in for a little wine history, a little film history, and a lot of rewriting a shitty script in real time.

    PAIRED WITH (AI-free search links, always):

    • Steven Kent Winery ELEMENTS 4-Pack, Cabernet Franc, Livermore Valley, California
    • Terlato & Domaine Chapoutier Lieu-Dit Malakoff Shiraz (Syrah), Pyrenees, Victoria, Australia
