The Better With Booze Film Club Podcast The Better With Booze Film Club

Due to an illness in the Better With Booze Film Club Podcast, we were unable to record a new episode for this week.  But as a treat for all of you, we have a throwback episode to the early days of the original BWBFC Podcast!  Some of you may not know that when we started the podcast (the first generation of it), our beloved Sarah was not one of the original cohosts!  She joined us officially on Episode 15 of the original show, which we are sharing with you now as a special treat! Or perhaps as a device of torture! Depends on your view on Sarah and the rest of us.  Have fun and see you next week!

Excitement meanders across the screen as a seemingly geriatric Gary Cooper wanders around trying to fight a court martial with varying degrees of confusion and self-righteousness.

Recommendations:
Glenn: Death At A Funeral (2007 film)
Sarah: Hacksaw Ridge (2016 film)
Cameron: Waterloo (1970 film)

If you really like Alec Guinness, then this film is for you.  Two Alec Guinness for the price of one.  Throw in a deranged Bette Davis, and you have yourself a deal!

Recommendations:
Glenn: Aliens directors cut (1986 film)
Sarah: The Da Vinci Code (2006 film)
Cameron: Feud: Betty and Joan (2017 television series)

If you thought the title was questionable, when until you find out that the plot involves a celebrity tv dinner entrepreneur who travels back to WWI to stop a secret German sonic superweapon.  Titles not so bad now, is it?

Recommendations:
Glenn: Cinema Paradiso (1988 film)
Sarah: Lovely, Dark and Deep (2023 film)
Cameron: The Prisoner (1967 television series)

If you think the United States has a sometimes messy political system, this movie reminds us that others can suffer from the same problems, albeit in this case in a more stiff upper lip, British sort of way.

Recommendations:
Glenn: The Wrecking Crew (2008 film)
Sarah: Arrival (2016 film)
Cameron: Staged (2020 television series)

Leslie Nielsen as the baddy.  Sort of.  But not really.  A searing depiction of the harm reckless journalism can have on an innocent man.  Sort of. But not really.

Recommendations:
Glenn: The God's Must Be Crazy (1980 film)
Sarah: Focused (2015 film)
Cameron: Jojo Rabbit (2019 film)
