Sen Us Your Thoughts!

THE NAPA BOYS is a brand new comedy that debuted last year at the Toronto Internatuional Film Festival (TIFF) and caused quite a stir. The film follows the two sons of Sideways main characters - Jack, Jr. and Miles, Jr. - and their entire “Napa Boys” crew which has become famous throughout the world because - get this - this is in fact the FOURTH Napa Boys movie in an ever-expanding Sideways-sequel franchise which also includes The Napa Girls.

The title screen for this film, when it displays, is THE NAPA BOYS 4: THE SOMMELIER’S AMULET. It’s a fake fourth movie of a never-made franchise of a film that never even spawned a sequel let alone a franchise and it is an SNL-style gross-out comedy-fest and it is going to be divisive.

We know this because…we were divided! Yes, this is the first episode where we strongly disagreed with a guest regarding their movie. Decarceration had seen it twice and enjoyed it and thought highly of it’s blackly comedic critical lashes while Dallas and myself were…less enthused.

We cover the backstory and making of the film, then spend a half hour being painfully polite, trying to express our differences while nodding to the talent involved, etc. But folks, we get INTO IT at around the hour mark. It had to happen eventually! Fight! Fight! Fight!

We did BOTTLE SHOCK, so we had to do the better of the two 00's wine movies - SIDEWAYS.

We discuss "The Sideways Effect". "The French Paradox", how both dovetailed to alter the American wine industry, and why this movie still matters. And then pair wines to match certain characters.

THE WINES:

• Korbin Kameron 2021 Merlot, Moon Mountain District, Sonoma (Maya and Victoria)
• 2021 Testamatta Bibi Graetz Toscana (Miles)

THIS EPISODE CONTAINS ALL THE SPOILERS! ALL OF THEM! GO WATCH THIS MOVIE BEFORE LISTENING! AND DEFINITELY DO WATCH THIS MOVIE!

With special guest, Screenwriter MARK PALERMO, writer of one of my Top 5 movies of all time, DETENTION (2011). Also podcast host for MOVIES AND CHAOS and writer for the The Retroscope zine.

ONE CUT OF THE DEAD is not-really a horror film that was made for $30,000 by a director whose ethos was: you need to make 200-300 movies before you can make a single good one!

We do argue whether that’s actually necessary, certainly at that nutty number, but one thing is certain: Ueda made something AMAZING with One Cut off the Dead.

The film soon reveals itself, and it is a celebratory, life-affirming, wild, comedic, charming, unforgettable filmwatching experience by the time the second (?) credits roll.

THE WINES (and Hard Ice Cream Float)

• FINAL GIRLS WINE 2023 “Frankenfizz” Piquette of Sangiovese
• 2014 Fiddlehead Cellars “728” Pinot Noir, Fiddlestix Vineyard, Sta. Rita Hills
• Vodka Root Beer Float (instructions below)

Instructions

• Split a can of soda between two large glasses and then add a shot of vodka to each.
• Carefully drop two scoops of either dairy dairy-free ice cream into each glass (if you have an ice cream that is cinnamon or coconut flavored - or both! - it makes it even better), and then top off with remaining can of root beer.
• Slurp, scoop, and enjoy.
