How We Seeez it

How We Seeez It is a review podcast all about how we see it. Steve and Noah talk movies, TV shows, and pair each episode with original cocktails inspired by the topic of the week. We mostly cover film and television, but we are always open to diving into whatever else catches our interest. Steve is more of the film guy, while Noah leans more toward action, which makes for fun conversations and different takes on what we watch. Come listen as we break things down, share our opinions, and see where we agree, where we don’t, and what makes each movie or show worth talking about.

    The Hurt Locker

    How We Seeez It! Episode 360: The Hurt Locker “Well, everyone's a coward about something, you know?” – Staff Sergeant William James Happy Veterans Day to all who served and those who supported them. In this Veterans Day episode, we discuss “The Hurt Locker,” a 2009 release and 2010 Oscar Best Picture winner. The movie was directed by Kathryn Bigelow, who won the Oscar for Best Director. It also earned 4 other wins and 7 other nominations. Critics loved the movie, but a lot of veterans did not and called out the large number of inaccuracies in it. This raises the question: Is this a good movie after all? We discussed the good, the bad, and whether this was a good pick for Veterans Day. I would also like to directly thank veteran friends of the show for their service to this country: David Odom, Terry Geller, Jeremy Kinkade, Steve Solorio, Pete Rayes, Jeff Cue, Eric Kocsis, Bill Reed, and any others I may have left out. As always, mix a drink, have a listen, and let us know what you think. Let us know if there is something you watched that we might enjoy or a can’t-miss series. Also, please rate and review the show on all your favorite podcast apps. Drinks for the episode: "The Final Cut"   2 oz Wild Turkey 101 Bourbon   ⅜ oz lemon juice   ¼ oz Dry curaçao   ¼ oz maple syrup   1 dash Angostura bitters The Final Ingredient — Choose Your Wire   ½ oz Cherry Heering   ½ oz Fernet-Branca One ingredient is connected to the red wire, the other to the black.    “Explosive Cowboy” 2.5 oz Brothers Bond Bourbon  1 oz Lemon juice .75 oz Lemon infused simple syrup  4 to 6 oz Frozen Bombsicle C4 energy drink Show links. https://hwsi.podbean.com/e/the-hurt-locker/  HWSI LinkTree HWSI Facebook Link HWSI Instagram Link HWSI Youtube link !!
