Our “Leftover Series” kicks off with the 2011 remake of Fright Night. Every week in November, we’ll pick a movie from a previous series we’ve done–one we wish we could’ve already covered. This was a great idea by Sean, and I can’t wait. To pair with this movie, we’re drinking The Chook, a sparkling Shiraz from…

Our second Halloween episode features an 80s classic: The Return of the Living Dead. Trav’s pick is a campy, goofy, blockheaded masterpiece. We loved it, to varying degrees. To pair with this silly spectacle, we drink Sangre de Toro, a Spanish Grenache-based blend. Grenache, or Garnacha, is supposed to be one of the most healthy red…
