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

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

    Sen Us Your Thoughts! Today’s VINTERVIEW is with filmmaker, branded content creator, and now documentarian Chris McGilvray. 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, 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.

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

    May 14

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

    Sen Us Your Thoughts! 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.

  5. PORTO (2017) - Paired with Ancient Portuguese Winemaking

    PORTO (2017) - Paired with Ancient Portuguese Winemaking

    Sen Us Your Thoughts! Honoring the 10th Anniversary of actor Anton Yelchin's passing in 2016 at the insanely young age of 27. PORTO was released posthumously, and since our own Dave Baxter recenty visited the city of Porto for the first time, and currently sells Portuguese wines in LA as his day job, this seemed like a perfect choice for us to tackle. This is a challenging film, equal parts mesmerizing and frustrating, a film that plays with time, rejects psychology, yet is confined to a magical evening between a French woman and an American man in Northern Portugal. THE WINES: 2010 Jose Maria de Fonseca “Alambre” Moscatel de Setubal, Portugal 2022 Bojador Vinho de Talha Branco, Alentejo, Portugal Support the show Our Sponsor: CURATED WINE SHOP, mid-city Los Angeles, they'll help you pair wine with any movie!

    MACGRUBER (2010) w/ Comedy Writer-Producer Jon Stahl
