Joined this week by Alex Robertson AKA DJ Velvet Thunder of The Box Hoxton for the World's best rampage film: Black Dynamite (2009). Michael Jai White and Byron Minns' parody of a 70's Blaxploitation film is one of the most stunning pieces of comedy that I've ever seen. Among that rare breed of work that is so steeped in humor, blanketing everything from the sets, to the costumes, dialogue, music and even the filmmaking itself, BD left us speechless*. *We talked quite easily for 30 minutes ..read more

It's baseball week at Drink For... so I knew that I had to sit down with Devlin Clemons, the most passionate baseball fan / wrestler / podcaster there is. One third of the Know Your Cinema Podcast, Devlin was gracious enough to point out the error of my vulgar ballpark ways, teach me a little bit about landing a 16 foot suplex during a cage match and how to send your Meat up to the show. Please bring baseball back ..read more

Drink For…'s infatuation with Eddie Murphy continues this week with his first ever big-screen role in Walter Hill's 48 HRS. (1982).

This week, Labeja Kodua Okullu joined me in the closet of shame via his own makeshift tent of solitude. After a rough week, I wanted nothing more than to spend a couple hours drinking with a friend, and swooning over the comedic delights of Eddie Murphy. Good news: it made me feel good for a bit. Bad news: although monumental, our chat did not fix the world. Go to BlackLivesMatters.carrd.co to find an amazing list of resources that you can use to help us fix it ..read more

Sat down with the lovely Fox Jackson this week to talk about his musical idol Prince. After drinking for (dot dot dot) Purple Rain (1984), Fox graced me with the totems of his immense fandom, and ended up giving me a Prince education that I'll never forget. Or one that I don't have to worry about forgetting because we recorded it. That's what this is. It's a podcast ..read more

In which drunk me thinks he knows about Marvel movies. Featuring an extra sneaky SMS, at least one budgetary misunderstanding and maybe the most fun rule to date, I can't think of a better way to spend a quar weekend than to get hammed up while vibing to some funky 70's jim jams. As always, proceed with a measure of caution, because I certainly didn't ..read more

Two things: 1, this is the best movie of all time; and 2, this solo episode got way too serious, way too fast. Going into this I was quite aware of the former, the latter however (quite audibly) caught me by surprise as my drunken self decided that the only thing worth gleaning from 90 mins of spoofs and goofs was some muddled thing about how it's up to the younger generations to change the world. Yeah, I'm not sure how that's possible either, but here's the proof. Listen and be inspired (*but, like, in a self-important TED talky way. In no way does this contain real inspiration ..read more

Joined this week by Joshua Smith and Dr. George Crosthwait of the Japanese Avant-garde and Experimental Film Festival to discuss the late, great Nobuhiko Obayashi's HOUSE (ハウス / Hausu, 1977). Sold as the Japanese JAWS, and with a story straight from the mind of his 11 year old daughter, Chigumi, this is one of the most unique films that I've ever seen. Impossible to describe, and existing almost exclusively in the imaginations of its viewers, this horror/comedy/musical is truly something special ..read more

Joined this week by Kyle Turner (Paste Magazine, GQ, New York Times), for a quarantine double bill: EVENING PRIMROSE (1967) and INTO THE WOODS (2014). A huge fan of the composer/ lyricist, Kyle gently leads me through this amazing duo of musicals. The first, a television play starring Anthony Perkins as a poet who takes refuge from the world inside of a closed department store; the latter, Rob Marshall's much more well known Hollywood musical boasting a cast of stars including Emily Blunt and Meryl Streep. Join us on our intoxicated journey through these larger-than-life cultural critiques, an ..read more
