Snow, lanterns, and a yeti — The Yeti reviewed with Tradewater KSB

Welcome back to Midnight Movie Distillery where we watch the movies you’ve heard about… and drink the whiskey that helps us survive them. Tonight we’re reviewing The Yeti — a 2026 creature feature set in 1940s Alaska, intentionally shot to look like it was made in the ’50s. Practical creature, period production design, and a cast that should make every horror fan’s antennae go up: Jim Cummings, William Sadler, Brittany Allen, Corbin Bernsen. We’ll tell you whether the throwback works… or whether the snow swallows the whole thing. Paired with it: Tradewater Kentucky Straight Bourbon — a Kentucky pour we hadn’t tried before, and one we ended up surprisingly aligned on. So pour yourself something strong… stay close to the fire… and let’s see who makes it back. Midnight Movie Distillery — watch it, drink it… regret nothing.

Hokum (2026) — Adam Scott, an Irish witch, and a New Riff bourbon

Welcome back to Midnight Movie Distillery where we watch the movies you’ve heard about… and drink the whiskey that helps us decide if we’re losing our minds. Tonight we’re reviewing Hokum — the new film from Damian McCarthy, the Irish horror writer-director who made Oddity. Adam Scott plays a horror author who travels to a remote Irish hotel to scatter his parents’ ashes. The hotel is haunted. He didn’t know that part. We didn’t all see the same movie — and you’ll see that in the ratings. Paired with it: New Riff Kentucky Straight Bourbon — Northern Kentucky craft, bottled in bond, and a name that’s been on every bourbon recommendation list for a few years now. So pour yourself something strong… don’t look too closely at the wallpaper… and let’s see if this one actually makes sense. Midnight Movie Distillery — watch it, drink it… regret nothing.

From Evil Dead Rise to The Mummy — We review Lee Cronin's bandage horror with E.H. Taylor

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 Lee Cronin’s The Mummy — yes, that Lee Cronin, the man behind Evil Dead Rise. He’s traded high-rise Deadites for an ancient bandage-wrapped horror, and the question is: does the contained-creature thing work, or did he leave all the good stuff in that apartment fire? Paired with it: Colonel E.H. Taylor Small Batch — a Buffalo Trace darling with the kind of bottle reputation that practically demands you have opinions. Lon brought it. The rest of us came in cold. So pour yourself something strong… leave the sarcophagus closed if you know what’s good for you… and let’s see how this one holds together.

A fan complained about our episode so we revisit Stranger Things Season 5 Finale!

Welcome back to Midnight Movie Distillery where we watch the movies and shows you’ve heard about… and occasionally deal with the consequences. Tonight’s episode is a little different. After our take on the Stranger Things finale… let’s just say someone had notes. So instead of ignoring it like mature adults, we did the obvious thing... we brought her on the show. That’s right, this is our first official listener showdown! We’re revisiting the finale, defending our takes, hearing hers… and seeing if this turns into a civil discussion or a full-on verbal cage match. And in a historic moment for MMD… there is no whiskey tonight. Not because we’re responsible, but because we couldn’t agree on one. Which should tell you exactly how this episode is going to go. No Bloody Barrel ratings… just opinions, debates, and at least one of us doubling down when we probably shouldn’t. So grab whatever you’re drinking… prepare for some disagreements… and let’s settle this. Midnight Movie Distillery — watch it, drink it… regret nothing.

Welcome back to Midnight Movie Distillery where we watch the movies you’ve heard about… and drink the whiskey that helps us survive them. Tonight we’re reviewing They Will Kill You — which, honestly, we appreciate for not wasting time with subtlety. The title sets expectations, and we’re here to find out if the movie actually delivers… or just threatens us for 90 minutes. And in the glass, we’ve got WhistlePig bourbon — bold, a little aggressive, and exactly what you want when things start going downhill fast. But we’re not facing this one alone — we’ve got a special guest reviewer joining us tonight, bringing fresh opinions, questionable takes, and hopefully better survival instincts than the characters in this movie. So pour yourself something strong… trust no one… and let’s see who makes it out of this episode alive. Midnight Movie Distillery — watch it, drink it… regret nothing.
