Midnight Movie Distillery

This week on Midnight Movie Distillery, we dive into Five Nights at Freddy’s 2 — breaking down the scares, the lore, and whether this sequel cranks the terror up or pulls the plug. To survive the night shift, we’re washing it all down with Cohasset Punch, a dangerously smooth liqueur that packs more bite than you expect. Is the movie a worthy sequel? Is the punch a hidden gem or a sugar-coated nig...

In this episode, we’re pouring our way through Compass Box Scotch Whiskies, taking an honest look at four standout blends: Crimson Cask, Spice Tree, Peat Monster, and Flaming Heart. From rich wine-cask sweetness and layered spice to full-throttle smoke and fire-kissed peat, we break down what each whisky brings to the glass—and who they’re actually for. No marketing fluff, no tasting-note theatric...

As the year comes to a close, we’re looking back at everything we watched in 2025—from the films that surprised us and stuck the landing, to the ones that completely missed the mark. In this episode, we break down our Best and Worst Movies of 2025, based on what we actually reviewed—no hype, no studio spin, and no mercy. What worked, what failed, and which movies earned a permanent spot on our rec...

This holiday season, we’re slicing into Christmas horror with an honest movie review of It’s a Wonderful Knife and Santastein—two films that trade cozy cheer for candy-cane carnage. Are they festive frights worth unwrapping, or holiday misfires best left buried under the tree? To keep things warm, we’re pairing the discussion with Crimson Cask by Compass Box, a rich, bold Scotch that brings notes...

Today we’re giving an honest look at Guillermo del Toro’s Frankenstein — a haunting, gothic re-telling of the monster that cinema has spent a century misunderstanding. Del Toro buries this story in grief, beauty, and obsession, stitching together something both tragic and terrifying. And alongside it, we’re pouring Spice Tree Scotch by Compass Box — layered, complex, and that fit perfectly with a...

Today we’re diving into Black Phone 2, a sequel that drags us deeper into ghost-soaked tension that feels like someone breathing just over your shoulder. And to match that mood, we’re pouring Midnight Mayhem Extended Cut Bourbon — a bottle built on horror-theater energy. It’s the kind of bourbon that tastes like the last pour before everything goes dark. Settle in, take a hit of the mayhem, and le...

Tonight we’re diving into Vicious (2025) — a slow, suffocating dose of dread from Bryan Bertino that doesn’t care about jump scares so much as getting under your skin and staying there. And to keep us grounded, we’re pairing it with Holladay Soft Red Wheat Bottled In Bond Bourbon — the name is a mouth full, and a hell of a lot easier to swallow than what’s happening on screen. Let’s pour a glass a...

Today, we’re descending into the 1970s styled cinema with Brute (1976)—a film that promised terror and gore but does it deliver? It’s a bleak, off-kilter cult-family flick that feels more like wandering into an abandoned basement than watching a polished horror classic. Luckily, we’re pairing it with Bib & Tucker’s 6-Year Small Batch Bourbon—a dark, steady pour to help us endure the film. So kill...

The tide is rolling back in, and with it comes something we thought was buried years ago. Today we’re staring straight into the shadows of the 2025 sequel to I Know What You Did Last Summer — a film that drags old secrets, and maybe old victims, back into the light. To steady our nerves, we’re pouring Iron Fish Four Cask Bourbon — rich, and layered with enough bite to keep us awake through this on...

Welcome back to another round of brutally Honest movie reviews and dangerously smooth rum tastings. This week, we’re tackling Weapons, starring Julia Garner and Josh Brolin—a film that promises intensity, grit, and maybe a few questionable decisions. To keep us sharp (or maybe to dull the edges), we’re sipping on R. L. Seale’s 12-year-old rum, a bottle with as much bite as Brolin’s stare and aged...

In this episode, our crew dives into Together, the horror-comedy that turns co-dependency into literal body horror. Starring real-life couple Dave Franco and Alison Brie, Together follows Millie and Tim as they try to reboot their relationship in the countryside. It’s part unsettling commentary on love, part grotesque satire on losing yourself in someone else, and all parts sticky, terrifying fun....

It’s the grand finale of Scotch Week, and we’re going out in style — and maybe just a little paranoia. In this Finishing the Bottle wrap-up episode, we revisit those killer drams, and dig into the mystery of Logan’s eerily accurate predictions — clairvoyance or just a dangerously high whiskey tolerance? Either way, the glasses are empty, the spoilers are flowing, and fate’s still on the table. Com...

In this episode we chart two uncharted territories at once: the alien landscapes of the new FX sci-fi epic Alien Earth and the bold, unexplored flavors of Planteray 5 yo aged rum. We’ll decode plot twists like Nostromo navigators, debate story points harder than a council of nerds at Comic-Con, and sip rum like we just discovered liquid courage on a distant planet. It’s part review, part mission l...

Fate’s back with a vengeance — and so are we. In this episode, we’re reviewing Final Destination: Bloodlines, the newest chapter in the death-defying franchise that proves you can’t cheat fate… but you can crank up the body count. Does this prequel bring fresh blood or just recycle the formula? Then we’re sipping the legendary Lagavulin 16 Year, a smoky, brooding Islay Scotch with enough depth to...

This episode, we’re going full outbreak and full-bodied. We’re reviewing 28 Years Later, the long-awaited return to Danny Boyle’s bleak, blood-soaked apocalypse — but does the third chapter revive the rage or just reanimate old ground? Then we’re tasting Torabhaig Cnoc na Moine, a heavily peated single malt from the Isle of Skye that brings smoke, earth, and a punch as bold as a bite to the neck....

On today's episode, we’re pairing high-tech horror with highland whisky. We’re diving into MEGAN 2.0, the sequel that takes the killer android concept to even weirder places — but does it upgrade the scares or crash and burn? Then we’re pouring a glass of Glenmorangie Lasanta 12 Year, a rich, sherry-cask finished Scotch that brings bold flavor and smooth heat. Smart, sinister, and surprisingly smo...
