Yikes. "High Tension" is the craziest horror movie we&apos;ve watched on WAAM so far. It&apos;s an interesting watch. It hits hard and fast. Plus it&apos;s French, and you know their horror movies are always twisted. We pair it with a Red Blend called Primal Roots that we got into. The movie is also called "Switchblade Romance" in some places which I just learned right now.Metacritic Score: 42/100Movie Sync Notes: We rented "High Tension" on Amazon Prime Video. We start "High Tension" 6:39 into the pod, and push play on part two 53:25 into the pod.

Episode 313: Sky "High Tension"

I feel like "Dick Tracy" is one of those movies that doesn&apos;t get the limelight much these days, but it should. It&apos;s splashy and colorful with great music and tons of well-known actors. They manage to pull off a comic book style movie that actually looks like a comic book. And they won a few oscars while doing it. We pair the movie with Boom Boom Syrah from Washington State. Metacritic Score: 68/100Movie Sync Notes: We watch "Dick Tracy" on Amazon Prime. We start "Dick Tracy" 7:28 into the pod and push play on part two 1:07:39 into the pod.

Episode 312: "Dick Tracy" Takes On...

This week we watch "The Babysitter," the first installment of Netflix&apos;s Horror/Comedy film series. It&apos;s a fun ride with a great cast of young-ish actors from an array of popular franchises that deliver some funny moments while still keeping a decent amount of gore. Where the story really shines is in the exploration of the friendship between the two lead characters: the babysitter and the babysat. We pair it with  When & Where presents The Kids Are Finally Asleep. It&apos;s a 2020 Chardonnay that we found to be very light and accessible.Rotten Tomatoes Score: 72%Movie Sync Notes: We watch "The Babysitter" on Netflix. We start "The Babysitter" 6:18 into the pod and push play on part two 54:40 into the pod.

Episode 311: Don't Tell Mom "The Babysitter" is Dead

We&apos;re finally watching one of the first movies we had on our list, "Airplane!" It&apos;s a true classic that laid the groundwork for so many movies that came after it. It&apos;s over 40 years old and people are still quoting tons of its lines whether they know the source material or not. I mean every line of the movie is a joke. It&apos;s deep and it&apos;s real. We pair it with a lovely 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon from Flying Cloud in Paso Robles, California. We highly recommend it. Metacritic Score: 78/100Movie Sync Notes: We rented "Airplane!" on Amazon Video. We start "Airplane!" 5:05 into the pod and push play on part two 50:59 into the pod.

Episode 310: Up In The "Airplane!"

It&apos;s that holiday time of year again. So to celebrate we&apos;re watching "The Nightmare Before Christmas." The movie that everyone seems to have a tattoo of. It&apos;s a good movie so I totally get it. We pair it with a pretty generic Italian Christmas Red, because "when in Rome" and all that. Metacritic Score: 82/100Movie Sync Notes: We watched "The Nightmare Before Christmas" on Disney+. We star "The Nightmare Before Christmas" 6:29 into the pod and push play on part two 57:33 into the pod.

Episode 309: "The Nightmare Before Christmas" With The Kranks

Oh my dog it has been years since we&apos;ve seen "Mars Attacks" and it did not disappoint. It never does. It&apos;s completely stupid in the best possible way. It&apos;s stylized. It&apos;s funny. And the music is great. We pair it with The Grape Abduction Company&apos;s Orange Blend Awesome Mix Vol. 1. It&apos;s a different wine than we&apos;re usually into, but it had an amazing label featuring an iridescent UFO so how could we not drink it?Metacritic Score: 52/100Movie Sync Notes: We watched "Mars Attacks" on Netflix. We start "Mars Attacks" 7:43 into the pod and push play on part two 1:07:49 into the pod.

Episode 308: Men Are From "Mars Attacks"

In an interesting turn, we&apos;ve decided to watch a well-regarded and critically acclaimed movie this episode. Weird right? It&apos;s "Freaky Friday"! The good one with Lindsay and Jamie. It&apos;s approachable and funny with good performances by most of the cast, especially Ms. Curtis. We pair it with When & Where presents Friday at Exactly 5:01pm. It&apos;s a 2020 Chenin Blanc that was definitely easy to drink.Metacritic Score: 70/100Movie Sync Notes: We watched "Freaky Friday" on Disney+. We start "Freaky Friday" 5:29 into the pod and push play on part two 59:33 into the pod.

Episode 307: Last "Freaky Friday" Night

It&apos;s neo-noir, 90&apos;s, ridiculous, and we love it. "Wild Things" is a crazy ride full of twists and turns and hilarious dialogue. If it were made today it would spawn countless memes because it&apos;s just that kind of movie. We really feel like they all thought they were making a hard-hitting film when making this movie. We pair it with (surprise, surprise) Wild Thing Old Vine Zinfandel. Bye Mister Lombardoooo!Metacritic Score: 52/100Movie Sync Notes: We watched the movie on Amazon. We start "Wild Things"  7:47 into the pod and push play on part two 1:07:48 into the pod.

Episode 306: Into the "Wild Things"

We&apos;re keeping the Halloween spirit going with the Vampire vs. Werewolf packed "Underworld." This movie definitely has a vibe. Lots of production value, over the top action sequences, blue tint, and slow motion. It was a product of the early 2000s action movie formula and we are so appreciative. We pair it with a Pinot Noir from Bloodroot. Metacritic Score: 42/100Movie Sync Notes: We watched "Underworld" on Netflix. We start "Underworld" 4:38 into the pod and push play on part two 1:07:42 into the pod.

Episode 305: Boy Meets "Underworld"

It&apos;s Halloween Season and to celebrate we&apos;re dipping into our horror-esque movie queue. First up is "Silent Hill," based on the video game series of the same name. Honestly, people gave this movie crap for not being the most faithful adaptation, but honestly it&apos;s not a bad movie. The production design is legit and the effort is real. And now we all want to be undead nurses. We pair it with a cabernet from Juicy Hill that only cost $7.99. This may have been the best wine we&apos;ve had at this price point. We also enjoyed the minimalism of the label design.Metacritic Score: 31/100 (but for reference the user score is 7.9/10)Movie Sync Notes: We rented "Silent Hill" on Amazon Prime. It&apos;s also available on Starz or on Hulu with a Starz premium subscription. We start "Silent Hill" 6:08 into the pod, push play on part two 55:52 into the pod, and push play on part three 1:29:25 into the pod.

Episode 304: King of the "Silent Hill"

We don&apos;t know if "Anaconda" was a symptom of a bigger "when animals attack" problem in movies or if was the start of the trend. Either way we&apos;re here for it. What we&apos;re not here for is Angelina Jolie&apos;s dad&apos;s weird accent. We&apos;re pretty sure he just made it up as he went along. We pair "Anaconda" with Predator Old Vine Red. It was...interesting. Our working theory is that we got a bad bottle. Metacritic Score: 37/100Movie Sync Notes: We found "Anaconda" on Hulu with a regular subscription. Yay! We start "Anaconda" 4:38 into the pod, push play on part two 26:35 into the pod, and push play on part three 1:02:52 into the pod.

Episode 303: My "Anaconda" Don't

"America. F*ck yeah!" Matt Stone and Trey Parker take everything they learned from "South Park" and rip everyone apart in "Team America: World Police" and we are here for it. Just the idea of doing a feature length comedy with marionettes is worth the price of admission. We pair it with a cabernet sauvignon called The Federalist because the label is so American that we couldn&apos;t pass it up. Metacritic Score: 64/100Movie Sync Notes: We watch the movie on Netflix. We start "Team America" 8:00 into the pod, and push play on part two 1:13:07 into the pod. 

Episode 302: There's No 'I' In "Team America: World Police"

Welcome to the Season 3 Premiere of Whine and a Movie! It&apos;s gonna be great. We&apos;re kicking it off with the only home invasion movie we can stomach, "You&apos;re Next." It&apos;s a twisty trip that gets you cheering for the hero, and not in an underdog way. She&apos;s like, legit. We pair the movie with a red blend called 2017 Daring Escape Red. It really fit the bill. The wine is good and the label is perf.Metacritic Score: 66/100Movie Sync Notes: We watched the movie for free on Hulu. We start "You&apos;re Next" 6:41 into the pod, and push play on part two 59:16 into the pod.

Episode 301: Alright..."You're Next"

We&apos;re wrapping up Kill Bill and Season 2 of Whine and a Movie all in one episode. When it&apos;s right, it&apos;s right. Kill Bill Vol. 2 has it all. There&apos;s fight scenes, emotion, backstabbing, eye plucking, astonishingly long training sequences. What&apos;s not to love? We pair it with a Riesling of all things from Kung Fu Girl, and it was so good. We were worried that it would taste like alcoholic sugar water and it absolutely does not. 100% would buy again.Metacritic Score: 83/100Movie Sync Notes: We rented the movie on Amazon Prime. We start "Kill Bill Vol. 2" 4:46 into the pod, and push play on part two 51:20 into the pod.

Episode 226: I Am Gonna "Kill Bill Vol. 2"

"Abbott & Costello Meet Frankenstein" is definitely the oldest movie we&apos;ve watched on the pod, but it&apos;s so good! The humor holds up. And so does a lot of the fashion, which is surprising. We pair it with a 2019 The Wolftrap Syrah which has a great name and was honestly pretty good.Tomatometer Score: 89%Movie Sync Notes: We rented the movie on Amazon Prime. We start "Abbott & Costello Meet Frankenstein" 5:48 into the pod, push play on part two 18:43 into the pod, and push play on part three 1:13:14 into the pod.
