ONCE UPON A TIME IN THE WEST (1968) w/ Director Chris McGilvray

BOTTLE SHOCK (2008) Paired with the Objectively Superior Cabernet and New World Syrah

Sen Us Your Thoughts! [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2087995/fan_mail/new] 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.

VINTERVIEW: Director Chris McGilvray talks Wine Documentary EDEN (2024)

Sen Us Your Thoughts! [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2087995/fan_mail/new] Today’s VINTERVIEW is with filmmaker, branded content creator, and now documentarian Chris McGilvray [https://www.nomadicbearproductions.com/]. We chat with Chris about his narrative short filmmaking, how he quickly realized this was never going to lead to the kind of breakthrough previous generations enjoyed, pivoted to branded content and became a champion of pushing that type of work into more organic and authentic expressions, and then segued from that into his first feature length documentary about the Mount Eden Winery in the Santa Cruz Mountains [https://www.edenfilm.info/], considered to have the longest lineage of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir in all of North America. We thought this Vinterview would run 20-30 minutes. We had the whole thing Q&A’d scripted out and it was only 5 Q’s! But the conversation evolved organically and we talked at length about the themes of the documentary, themes you rarely see in a Wine doc yet pertain to nearly every aspect of the wine industry.

Kiyoshi Kurosawa's PULSE (2001) Paired with Loneliness and Blackberry Cobbler

Sen Us Your Thoughts! [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2087995/fan_mail/new] Dallas asked me: "What's the creepiest movie you've ever seen? Not the scariest - the creepiest." I only had to think about it for a short moment: PULSE. A movie that is creepy, unnerving, unsettling, and so, so easy to sink into. We dive deep into its themes of human lonliness, the rise of the internet and the moment of Y2K, and how PULSE imagines the human world might end. Or, perhaps, how it's already ended.
