The Better With Booze Film Club Podcast

Sarah takes over hosting duties for the month of June and she kicks things off with the 2020 genre bending time loop romantic comedy Palm Springs.  

It's the last of Glenn's month of movie takeovers, and this week he has his coworkers watch the Irish comedy Waking Ned Devine.  But did his cohosts think it was divine? Sorry, that's the best I could do.

Marlo Brando brings back his iconic Vito Corleone, but in a comedy about a Komodo dragon. Works better than this concept pitch might suggest.

It's Glenn's month for choosing the films and this week he has selected the slapstick screwball comedy What's Up, Doc? starring Barbara Streisand and Ryan O'Neil. But are his fellow cohosts as fond of the film as he is? Tune in and find out.

Glenn takes the reigns of the podcast and for his first choice of film he picks the 1997 Australian comedy The Castle.

The last of the comedies of Cameron's formative years, we have 1996's Waiting For Guffman, the directorial debut of the king of mockumentaries Christopher Guest.

A comedy murder mystery romance thriller directed by Woody Allen which sees the repairing of the delightful on screen partnership of Woody Allen and Diane Keaton.

John Candy plays a soap opera writer caught in his own fictional town with his own fictional creations.  Must be nice.

We continue looking at the early 90's comedies of Cameron's childhood, in this case the Kevin Kline dual role film Dave. A fictional Presidential comedy from the days where you could just about pull that sort of thing off.

So for the week of April, we are going back and looking at the comedies of cohost Cameron's childhood.  This week it's the mafia comedy My Blue Heaven starring Steve Martin and Rick Moranis.  But will the viewing experience be heaven or...not heaven?

So you know how exciting geopolitical conferences can be? Well imagine that but with ancient bog creatures!

A film that divided opinion here at the Better With Booze Film Club Podcast.  Tune in to find out where the lines were drawn.

We continue our trip through movies we missed in 2024 with Conclave.  With all the acting muscle on call here, how bad could it be?

This month we will be looking at films we missed out seeing last year.  And we begin with a film that technically premiered in 2023, but didn't hit the theatres until 2024, so we're counting it.  It is the Anthony Hopkins led biopic One Life.

We end our month of romcoms on a high, and all it took was a gay romantic comedy adaptation of Pride and Prejudice. Guest host Elisa joins us for the fun.

For our month of romcoms, we revisit a late era Hugh Grant flick in which he pairs up with Sarah Jessica Parker.  Basically what City Slickers would be like if you replaced Billy Crystal with Hugh Grant and both Daniel Stern and Bruno Kirby with Sarah Jessica Parker.  And Jack Palance with Sam Elliott, which is probably the nearest to a 1 to 1 ratio.

David Tennent has to choose between the ultra successful, ultra nice movie star and the ultra charming, ultra nice small down Scottish lass.  Oh the hardships that man goes through.  First the Daleks and now this...

Hey remember that crime noir thriller that Michael Keaton directed and starred in back in 2008? Yeah, me neither.  But we watch it anyway, because sometimes we here at BWBFC do the heavy lifting so you don't have to.  You're welcome!
