Bob and Brad continue their mini-series of Spielberg films with 1981's Raiders of the Lost Ark. Often considered a perfect "entertainment," this film certainly doesn't have a lot going on beneath the surface, but that just highlights the filmmaking craft of Spielberg all the more. Our hosts sing the praises of the cast, particularly the supporting players, and are pleasantly surprised by the number of visual gags on display. Meanwhile, they revisit Laphroaig Distillery with the cask-strength version of their 10-year expression. They tried Laphroaig 10 way back in the early seasons of the show, and it nearly turned Bob off from peated Scotch forever. Will this high-proof version turn things around? Film & Whiskey Podcast.

Bob and Brad continue their mini-series of popular films from director Steven Spielberg, this time with 1977's wildly successful Close Encounters of the Third Kind. A surprisingly interior movie, our hosts are wowed both by its ambition and the remarkable leading turn from Richard Dreyfuss. Meanwhile, our hosts sip on Highland Park Magnus, a lower-proof, non-age-stated single malt Scotch from the Orkney region. This marks the second Highland Park expression in a row. How will it stack up to last week's Highland Park 12? Film & Whiskey Podcast. New episodes every Monday.

Season Six kicks off with one of the most popular films ever, director Steven Spielberg's breakthrough Jaws. Widely considered one of the best horror movies ever made, the famously-troubled production led to a tightly-edited masterclass in tension. Brad and Bob discuss the film's two very different halves, as well as the unsung acting heroics of Roy Scheider and Richard Dreyfus. Meanwhile, our hosts sip on Highland Park 12-year, a lightly-peated single malt Scotch from the Orkney region. This bottle represents the entry point into the famous Highland Park brand, but what will our hosts think of it? Film & Whiskey Podcast. New episodes every Monday.

Bob and Brad wrap up Season 5 with their final Harry Potter review, the series-capping 2011 offering Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 2. Director David Yates returns with the last chapter of the franchise, and while the movie is well-regarded by the general public, Bob and Brad are decidedly cooler on it. Meanwhile, they return to Willett Distillery to sample Rowan's Creek, a whiskey that may or may not be the slightly-toned-down version of Bob's favorite, Noah's Mill. How will this 100.1-proof bourbon hold up to Noah's Mill's 114? Film & Whiskey Podcast. New episodes every Monday.

Bob rounds out his Season Five list of movies with Barry Jenkins' 2018 masterpiece If Beale Street Could Talk. Unfairly swallowed up during the awards season, this film ultimately flew under the radar. The guys discuss scene-stealing performances from Stephan James and Colman Domingo, in addition to Regina King's Oscar-winning role. Meanwhile, our hosts sip on Cutty Sark, that ubiquitous blended scotch. At only around $15 a bottle, what should they be expecting in terms of quality? Film & Whiskey Podcast.
