This week, it's Capote—Bennett Miller’s chilling, quiet portrait of literary legend Truman Capote during the writing of In Cold Blood. Naturally, we recommend a gin and tonic this round—heavy on the gin with no more than a whisper of the tonic, Capote-style—as we follow him from high society soirées in New York to the stark plains of Kansas. It’s gripping, unsettling, and just a little fabulous. Join us as we unpack the brilliance, the manipulation, and the very blurry lines between writer and subject.

In space, no one can hear you scream—but down here, Ridley Scott’s Alien has us chatting up a storm. This 1979 sci-fi horror gem oozes tension, drips atmosphere, and flexes some of the finest practical effects ever put to film. No CGI—just sweat, slime, and old school Hollywood magic. They don’t make ’em like this anymore, folks.

This week, we go beyond our solar system—and beyond the limits of human understanding—as we explore Christopher Nolan’s Interstellar. A profound meditation on time, sacrifice, and the unbreakable bonds of love, this 2014 film challenges us to consider what it means to fight for a future we may never see. Pour yourself something contemplative—perhaps a glass of red aged in oak—and join us for a look at this breathtaking cinema masterwork.
