Yellow Walls. Bad Vibes · Backrooms (2026) with Russell's Reserve Bourbon Single Barrel

Welcome back to Midnight Movie Distillery where we watch the movies you've heard about… and drink the whiskey that helps us argue about them. Tonight we're reviewing Backrooms — A24's adaptation of Kane Parsons' viral YouTube liminal-space horror series. A furniture-store owner opens a door in his basement that leads to an endless dimension of yellow-carpeted office rooms; his therapist follows him in when he goes missing. Kane Parsons was 16 when he started the Backrooms creepypasta on YouTube, 20 when he directed this feature, and just became the youngest filmmaker to open at #1 at the US box office. A24's highest grosser ever, and they even released an extended "Everything Must Go" cut. Paired with it: Russell's Reserve Bourbon Single Barrel — a hand-selected pull from Wild Turkey's cask program. Not everyone was on the same page about the movie. The pour brought us closer to agreement. So pour yourself something strong… don't wander through any doors you can't come back through… and let's see whether the yellow rooms live up to the hype. ▬ Contents of this video ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ 00:00 - Intro 02:00 - Alcohol Review 17:00 - Alcohol Barrel Rating 30:48 - Movie Review 32:45 - Movie Barrel Rating 1:08:00 - Outro ▬ Midnight Movie Distillery — watch it, drink it, rate it ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ All our horror + whiskey reviews: midnightmoviedistillery.com #midnightmoviedistillery #podcaster #podcasts #horrorpodcast #horrorjunkie #horrormovie #horrorfan #horror #horrormovies #2026horror #backrooms #backroomsmovie #kaneparsons #kanepixels #a24 #liminalspaces #chiwetelejiofor #renatereinsve #markduplass #whiskey #whisky #whiskeylife #whiskeytasting #bourbon #bourbonreview #russellsreserve #singlebarrel #wildturkey #kentuckybourbon

TV's Tiniest Terror · Trilogy of Terror (1975) with Widow Jane Decadence

Welcome back to Midnight Movie Distillery where we watch the movies you've heard about… and drink the whiskey that helps us appreciate where horror came from. Tonight we're reviewing Trilogy of Terror — Dan Curtis's 1975 made-for-TV anthology, three Richard Matheson stories, all starring Karen Black, all aired on ABC as a Movie of the Week. Two segments you may not remember. One segment you absolutely do: "Amelia," a woman alone in her apartment trying to survive a Zuni fetish doll that has come to life. Fifty-one years later, that ten-inch knife-wielding warrior is still one of the most-imitated villains in horror — even if the rest of the movie has aged less gracefully. Paired with it: Widow Jane Decadence Bourbon Finished in Maple Syrup Casks — a bourbon that turned a niche finish into something we kept coming back to in the glass. So pour yourself something strong… check that the gold chain is still on the doll… and let's see whether 1975 horror still earns its place on the shelf. ▬ Contents of this video ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ 00:00 - Intro 02:30 - Alcohol Review 09:55 - Alcohol Barrel Rating 27:25 - Movie Review 29:16 - Movie Barrel Rating 59:25 - Outro ▬ Midnight Movie Distillery — watch it, drink it, rate it ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ All our horror + whiskey reviews: midnightmoviedistillery.com #midnightmoviedistillery #podcaster #podcasts #horrorpodcast #horrorjunkie #horrormovie #horrorfan #horror #horrormovies #classichorror #70shorror #trilogyofterror #dancurtis #darkshadows #richardmatheson #karenblack #zunidoll #amelia #abcmovieoftheweek #anthologyhorror #whiskey #whisky #whiskeylife #whiskeytasting #bourbon #bourbonreview #widowjane #widowjanedecadence #maplebourbon #brooklynbourbon

Couples Retreat from Hell · Over Your Dead Body (2026) with Widow Jane 10yr

Welcome back to Midnight Movie Distillery where we watch the movies you've heard about… and drink the whiskey that helps us figure out whose side we're on. Tonight we're reviewing Over Your Dead Body — Jorma Taccone's English-language remake of Tommy Wirkola's Norwegian black-comedy The Trip (2021). Jason Segel and Samara Weaving as a married couple at a remote lakeside cabin for a "reconnection weekend." Both of them are secretly planning to murder the other. Then the cabin gets uninvited guests. Lonely Island director, BriTANick writers — the whole filmmaking team is comedy people bending toward genre. Paired with it: Widow Jane 10 Year Bourbon — a Brooklyn-distilled pour that ended up being one we mostly agreed on, which doesn't always happen on this show. So pour yourself something strong… mistrust your spouse a little… and let's see who makes it out of this one alive. ▬ Contents of this video ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ 00:00 - Intro 01:17 - Alcohol Review 08:35 - Alcohol Barrel Rating 18:51 - Movie Review 21:10 - Movie Barrel Rating 38:57 - Outro ▬ Midnight Movie Distillery — watch it, drink it, rate it ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ All our horror + whiskey reviews: midnightmoviedistillery.com #midnightmoviedistillery #podcaster #podcasts #horrorpodcast #horrorjunkie #horrormovie #horrorfan #horror #horrormovies #2026horror #overyourdeadbody #jormataccone #lonelyisland #thetrip2021 #tommywirkola #deadsnow #jasonsegel #samaraweaving #readyornot #timothyolyphant #juliettelewis #whiskey #whisky #whiskeylife #whiskeytasting #bourbon #bourbonreview #widowjane #widowjane10 #brooklynbourbon #craftbourbon

Death Goes Viral · Faces of Death (2026) with Corsair Triple Smoke

Welcome back to Midnight Movie Distillery where we watch the movies you've heard about… and drink the whiskey that helps us figure out whether what we just watched was actually a movie. Tonight we're reviewing Faces of Death — Daniel Goldhaber and Isa Mazzei (the Cam team) reimagining the 1978 cult shockumentary for the algorithm era. A content moderator at a TikTok-like platform starts seeing what look like real beheadings in her review queue. The film's question is what it costs to keep watching. We didn't all agree on whether it works. Paired with it: Corsair Triple Smoke Single Malt Whiskey — a three-grain triple-smoked malt out of Nashville. We had more in common on the pour than we did on the picture. So pour yourself something strong… stay off the algorithm if you know what's good for you… and let's see what this one is really about. ▬ Contents of this video ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ 00:00 - Intro 01:00 - Alcohol Review 05:35 - Alcohol Barrel Rating 11:00 - Movie Review 13:28 - Movie Barrel Rating 28:40 - Outro ▬ Midnight Movie Distillery — watch it, drink it, rate it ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ All our horror + whiskey reviews: midnightmoviedistillery.com #midnightmoviedistillery #podcaster #podcasts #horrorpodcast #horrorjunkie #horrormovie #horrorfan #horror #horrormovies #2026horror #facesofdeath #facesofdeath2026 #danielgoldhaber #isamazzei #cam2018 #algorithmhorror #contentmoderation #barbieferreira #dacremontgomery #josietotah #charlixcx #whiskey #whisky #whiskeylife #whiskeytasting #corsair #corsairtriplesmoke #craftwhiskey #nashvillewhiskey

One Wish, One Big Mistake · Obsession (2026) with Four Kings Port Finish

Welcome back to Midnight Movie Distillery where we watch the movies you've heard about… and drink the whiskey that helps us argue about them. Tonight we're reviewing Obsession — Curry Barker's debut feature and the most remarkable indie horror origin story of the year. Barker came up making YouTube sketch comedy, shot a found-footage horror short for $800 that went viral, got hand-picked by Blumhouse, and the movie went on to do $108M on a $750K budget. The story: a shy music-store employee buys a "One Wish Willow" from a witchy gift shop and wishes the girl he loves loved him back. She does. Sort of. Paired with it: Four Kings Port Finish Blended Malt Whiskey — and we found this pour considerably more polarizing than the movie. Lon, in particular, has things to say. So pour yourself something strong… don't make any wishes you can't take back… and let's see if this one earns the indie-darling hype. ▬ Contents of this video ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ 00:00 - Intro 01:12 - Alcohol Review 11:35 - Alcohol Barrel Rating 21:09 - Movie Review 24:10 - Movie Barrel Rating 53:01 - Outro ▬ Midnight Movie Distillery — watch it, drink it, rate it ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ All our horror + whiskey reviews: midnightmoviedistillery.com #midnightmoviedistillery #podcaster #podcasts #horrorpodcast #horrorjunkie #horrormovie #horrorfan #horror #horrormovies #2026horror #obsession #obsessionmovie #currybarker #blumhouse #onewishwillow #michaeljohnston #indenavarrette #whiskey #whisky #whiskeylife #whiskeytasting #singlemalt #americansinglemalt #fourkings #fourkingswhiskey #portcaskfinish #craftwhiskey
