This week, Stephen and Mark spend a little time talking about the most recent story from author Paul Tremblay, "Horror Movie".  They will talk about the twists, spirals, and rabbit holes truly good authors like Trembay can create.  Horror Movie is a escheresque, gravity defying maze of mirrors.  A sophisticated story needs an equally sophisticated bourbon paired with it.  Tonight, the boys will sample Thomas S. Moore Cognac Cask bourbon.

"So, We're Not Killing Baby Hitler?" - The Ministry of Time and Belle MeadeBourbon Whiskey

Beards, Books, and Bourbon Podcast

It's been a minute since we did a time travel story, and so we're heading back in time, and forward, and back again in this smart, funny, lovely, and tragic tale by Kalianne Bradley.  How would it feel if you were suddenly plucked out of your own time and sent 200, 300, or even 5 hundred years into the future? Would you be able to fit in, or would you slowly slide back to where you started one piece at a time? To help us answer this question, we're going to need the complex comfort of Belle Meade Bourbon Whiskey.
