    Deadites On Fire · Evil Dead Burn (2026) with Bulleit Mesquite & Buzzard's Roost Double Oak

    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 Evil Dead Burn — the sixth film in Sam Raimi's franchise, first from French filmmaker Sébastien Vaniček (Infested), and by consensus the most brutal, most claustrophobic, most mean-spirited Deadite entry to date. Alice, freshly widowed, moves in with her husband's estranged family — descendants of a leading demonic-possession researcher. When her in-laws start transforming one by one into Deadites that feed on fear, she discovers that "til death do us part" was more binding than she signed up for. Weaponizes an increasingly ludicrous household inventory — corkscrews, fountain pens, dishwashers, shower curtains, fish hooks — in devilishly gnarly ways. Cameo callback to Alyssa Sutherland's Ellie from Evil Dead Rise. IndieWire called it "the single strangest Deadite movie to date." Paired with two bourbons tonight — a first for the show. Bulleit's Mesquite Smoked Malt (a bold, unusual take on the classic Bulleit profile) up front, then Buzzard's Roost Signature Double Oak (small-batch Kentucky, twice-oaked for depth) as the second round. Two bourbons because one felt insufficient for what this movie put us through. We found common ground on the pours; the movie is where we parted ways. So pour yourself something strong… don't open the basement door… and let's see whether Vaniček earns his place in the franchise. ▬ Contents of this video ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ 00:00 - Intro 01:08 - Alcohol Review (Bulleit Mesquite) 06:45 - Alcohol Barrel Rating (Bulleit Mesquite) 19:20 - Alcohol Barrel Rating (Buzzard's Roost) 23:25 - Movie Review 25:30 - Movie Barrel Rating 53:55 - 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 #evildead #evildeadburn #evildeadfranchise #sebastienvanicek #infested #samraimi #brucecampbell #leecronin #deadites #alyssasutherland #whiskey #whisky #whiskeylife #whiskeytasting #bourbon #bourbonreview #bulleit #bulleitmesquite #buzzardsroost #kentuckybourbon

    The Corpse Cleanse · Saccharine (2026) with Bear Fight American Single Malt Whisky

    Welcome back to Midnight Movie Distillery where we watch the movies you've heard about… and drink the whiskey that helps us process what we just saw. Tonight we're reviewing Saccharine — Natalie Erika James (the writer-director of Relic) doing supernatural body-horror about Ozempic-era diet culture. A lovelorn Australian medical student takes ashes from a cadaver her gross-anatomy class has nicknamed "Big Bertha," turns them into pills, and starts losing weight rapidly. The ghost of the woman she's eating notices. Sundance Midnight premiere, IFC + Shudder pickup. Paired with it: Bear Fight American Single Malt Whisky — a blend of four American single malts distilled by four different craft distillers. So pour yourself something strong… don't take any pills you can't identify… and let's see whether the metaphor lands or overreaches. ▬ Contents of this video ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ 00:00 - Intro 01:00 - Alcohol Review 08:10 - Alcohol Barrel Rating 23:40 - Movie Review 26:40 - Movie Barrel Rating 43:56 - 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 #saccharine #saccharinefilm #natalieerikajames #relic #bodyhorror #shudder #ifcfilms #midorifrancis #daniellemacdonald #whiskey #whisky #whiskeylife #whiskeytasting #singlemalt #americansinglemalt #bearfight #craftwhiskey

    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

    Ballet, blood, and Uma Thurman — Pretty Lethal reviewed with Tumblin’ Dice Bourbon

    Welcome back to Midnight Movie Distillery where we watch the movies you’ve heard about… and drink the whiskey that helps us figure out what we just watched. Tonight we’re reviewing Pretty Lethal — Vicky Jewson’s action-horror-comedy about a ballet troupe whose bus breaks down on the way to a competition and have to fight off armed men. Uma Thurman is in it. Maddie Ziegler is top-billed. Whether this counts as a horror movie at all is one of the things we’ll be arguing about. Paired with it: Tumblin’ Dice Bourbon from Proof and Wood — a bottle with a name that promised more than the pour delivered. We’ll get into it. So pour yourself something strong… stretch first… and let’s see what we’re actually dealing with. Midnight Movie Distillery — watch it, drink it… regret nothing.
