They’re joined by special guest Michael Kelingus, Brad’s longtime friend and a lover of Japanese cinema, especially kaiju films.

In the second half, Bob and Brad crack open a bottle of Hardin's Creek Jacob's Well bourbon, a premium small-batch release known for its rich complexity. How does this Kentucky bourbon hold up under the Film & Whiskey taste test? Tune in to find out if the pairing of kaiju chaos and fine bourbon creates movie magic.
