City of Angels (1998)

We conclude our Valentine’s Day/Date Movie series with City of Angels.  It’s definitely the oddest and most cerebral of this month’s offerings.  On the plus side, it does have a bitchin’ soundtrack, with lots of killer 90s vibes. For vino, we tried the sparkling Vouvray, from Champalou.  Vouvray is Chenin Blanc, and this one has all…

The Beatles: Get Back (Episode 1)

The Beatles are my all-time favorite band, and I’ve spent my life as a walking encyclopedia of their music and history.  Like millions of fans, their music has changed my life.  Long story short:  This isn’t just another podcast for me. I’ve been pumped for Peter Jackson’s documentary since I saw his work on They Shall…

Another Round (2021)

For this week’s Cinemavino, it’s one of the more decorated movies we’ve covered in a good long while:  Another Round won the Academy Award for Best International Feature, and Thomas Vinterburg was nominated for Best Director.  After a steady stream of Halloween flicks, this art house flick was a nice palate cleanser. The crux of the…
