Bye-Bye, Podbean...

Hey nerds...we've moved!  If you've listened to the last couple of episodes you're aware of the issues with Podbean. We'll no longer be hosting our show on Podbean as we feel we cannot trust a platform that has no customer support.  It's been fun (until it wasn't) but our show is still available everywhere else so join us as we continue our adventure!  See ya 'round!

S2 Ep21: What's in Store for the DCU?

Welcome back to the show where the smoke is thick, the drinks are strong, and the opinions come faster than Barry Allen on espresso. This week, we’re looking to the skies—because the future of the DC Universe is riding on one dude in red and blue tights, and his name is Superman. Directed by none other than James Gunn, the guy who turned a talking tree and a raccoon into box office gold, we’re asking: Is this the hero DC deserves… or just another Justice League-level letdown?
We’re lighting up the new Al Pastor cigar by Rojas—it’s got the kind of flavor that punches harder than Lobo in a bar fight—and we’re sipping Manik Añejo tequila, smoother than Clark Kent sneaking out of the Daily Planet for a quick save.
Will Gunn give us a Superman with the heart of Christopher Reeve, the swagger of Kingdom Come, or—Kryptonian gods help us—the mustache CG of doom? Will we finally get a Lex Luthor who’s more Machiavellian mastermind and less social media start-up fail? And what about the rest of the DCU—will we see Booster Gold, The Authority, or are we just being emotionally manipulated by another cinematic multiverse promise?
Either way, we’ve got cigars, tequila, and decades of comic book baggage to unpack—so suit up, nerds. This is gonna be one hell of a flight.

S2 Ep8: The Goonies!

Hey you guys!!!  In this episode, we're heading back to the 80s to chat about The Goonies — the ultimate treasure hunt, filled with "booty traps", treasure maps, and way too many adventures for a group of kids to handle. 🏴‍☠️ Join us as we break down this cult classic and whether or not Sloth was the true hero. So grab your treasure map, your favorite chunk of chocolate, and buckle up for a wild ride through a movie that taught us all the true meaning of friendship. And yep, we'll being enjoying the Equalizer from Definition Cigars along with the Compass Box Scotch. Goonies never say die!

S2 Ep18: Artificial Intelligence (A.I.)

Welcome back to the show where the bourbon is neat, the cigars are bold, and the takes are hotter than a server farm in July. This week, we’re diving into the silicon soul of modern civilization—Artificial Intelligence. That’s right, we’re talking the good, the bad, and the potentially world-ending! From helpful chatbots that write your emails to rogue AIs that might someday decide we’re just inefficient meat traffic—no circuit is left unscrambled. We’re pairing this digital deep-dive with a Tatuaje Regios cigar—earthy, complex, and built with more layers than a neural net—and a pour of Four Roses Single Barrel, because if the robots are coming for us, we might as well meet them with a damn good drink in hand. So grab your favorite smoke, pour yourself something strong, and let’s talk about whether Skynet is already reading your texts—or just judging your Spotify playlist.

S2 Ep17: Tim Curry

This week, we’re throwing on our fishnets, firing up the Davidoff Gran Escurio Gran Perfecto, and pouring a generous glass of Blanton’s Single Barrel—because if we’re going to talk about the legend that is Tim Freakin’ Curry, we’re doing it with style, swagger, and just a touch of sinister laughter. From the sweet transvestite in Rocky Horror to the suave villainy of Clue, Legend, and Muppet Treasure Island (yes, Long John Silver had range), we’re deep-diving into the velvet-voiced chaos that is Tim Curry’s filmography. Whether he’s seducing the screen or hamming it up to high heaven, the man never misses—and neither does this cigar. Expect impressions, trivia, wild theories (was Pennywise just Frank-N-Furter on an off day?), and a whole lot off fanboying—yes, even with a glass of bourbon in hand, we’re completely unhinged for this icon. So spark that Gran Perfecto, sip that smooth Blanton’s, and join us for a gloriously over-the-top tribute to the man who made villainy irresistible and camp cooler than cool.

S2 Ep16: Andor Season 2 Recap

Strap in, light up, and pour yourself something spicy—because this week we’re trading Jedi mind tricks for morally gray monologues as we dive deep into Season 2 of Andor. We’re talkin’ rebellion, regret, and rogue espionage with a side of existential dread—and we love it.
To set the mood, we’re puffing on the bold and brooding La Gloria Cubana Serie R Black Maduro, a cigar so rich and intense it makes Luthen’s speeches feel like bedtime stories. And we’re pairing it with Lockwood Rye, because nothing says “down with the Empire” like a drink that punches back.
We’ll unpack Cassian’s arc, speculate on who’s getting spaced next, and ask the tough questions—like how many cloaks does Mon Mothma own and why does everyone in the galaxy seem allergic to happiness? Spoiler: It’s probably the Empire’s fault.
Whether you're a Rebel sympathizer, a sucker for slow-burn sci-fi, or just here for the smokes and sips, this episode has you covered like a thermal cloak on Ferrix. So fire up that stogie, pour that rye, and let’s make some very poor but deeply satisfying choices in a galaxy far, far away.

S2 Ep15: Daredevil Born Again Season 1 Recap

Welcome back to the smoke-filled sanctum of geekdom, where the only thing smoother than our bourbon is our nerd banter! This week on the podcast, we're pairing a glass of 1792 bourbon (bold, balanced, and just a little bit dangerous) with a funky, flavorful Blue Cheese cigar—because sometimes you need your palate as challenged as Matt Murdock’s moral compass.
We're diving cane-first into Season 1 of Daredevil: Born Again on Disney+, where fists fly, Catholic guilt drips off the screen like melting wax, and Hell’s Kitchen is once again served hot. We break down the season’s biggest moments, question who’s really pulling the strings, and—of course—speculate wildly about Season 2, including potential cameos (Jessica Jones, we’re looking at you) and whether Marvel has the guts to go full Shadowland. Will Matt Murdock become the Devil or stay the hero? Either way, we’re here for it—with a drink in hand and smoke curling skyward.
So light up, pour a dram, and join us as we explore the blind justice, back-alley brawls, and bourbon-fueled breakdowns of one of Marvel’s most compelling reboots. It’s gritty. It’s geeky. It’s got blue  cheese. What more could you want?

S2 Ep14: Bacon!

This week… we're bringin' home the bacon — literally. That’s right, we’re diving deep into the crispy, greasy, glorious world of bacon. From breakfast MVP to burger backup dancer, bacon is the only food that doesn’t just join a dish — it saves it.  
We'll also be enjoying the Room 101 Doomsayer — a cigar so bold it could talk trash to your in-laws — and sip the Andalusia Revenant Oak Peated Whisky. It’s smoky, it’s mysterious, and frankly, it pairs with bacon better than your ex ever paired with emotional maturity.
So grab your tongs, pour yourself a dram, and light up — because this week, we're not just bringing the sizzle… we're bringing the whole hog.

S2 Ep13: Star Trek TOS Movies

This week, we boldly go where no dram has gone before! 🖖 Join us as we fire up a La Joya de Nicaragua Antaño 1970, pour a generous glass of Aberfeldy 12—the Golden Dram worthy of a Starfleet toast—and dive warp-speed into the highs, lows, and space whales of the Star Trek: The Original Series films.
From V’Ger’s existential crisis in The Motion Picture, to the wrath of Khan's epic mullet, to humpback whales and Spock’s resurrection, we’re charting a course through all six original Trek films with phasers set to “nerd.”
Expect smoky notes of nostalgia, buttery sips of scotch wisdom, and a few torpedo volleys at The Final Frontier. Whether you're a Trekkie, a whisky lover, or just here for the cigar-fueled banter—this episode is more fun than a night out at Risa.

S2 Ep12: The Candy Episode

This week, we’re going full sugar rush—diving headfirst into the candy aisle of our childhood. That’s right, folks: from the chewy champions to the chalky catastrophes, we’re unwrapping our sweetest memories and tossing aside the ones that were better left on the shelf. So light up, pour a dram, and let’s take a sweet trip down memory lane that’s anything but sugar-free.   We'll also be enjoying the Willet Pot Sill Reserve bourbon and the Rojas 10 Year Anniversary cigar.  This episode? It’s gonna be candemonium.
