Nightcaps at the Theater celebrates two years of the podcast in the only way we know how, by drinking copious amounts of liquor and making small talk about movies. Its time once again for Last Call! First, listeners can count on the hosts to Pour One Out in a segment where we discuss the misses of film in 2019. These are the films that made us feel anything but "Jellicle." CGI Animated Monstrosities, Questionable Acting Choices, and not enough booze in the world for us to justify the film making wherein!

“If you sit on my lap today, A new Nightcaps at the Theater Christmas special will come your way!” That’s right kids; it’s the most wonderful time of the year, Christmas! And what could stir up our beloved childhood memories more than re-watching our favorite Rankin-Bass stop motion, abominable monstrosities, with a few close friends, and copious amounts of liquor? Just don’t get so wasted you can’t put “one foot in front of the other.” Tonight, the podcast takes a look at THREE “seminal” (using that term loosely) Christmas Films. We go through the R & B Holiday canon with Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer (1964) Santa Claus Is Comin’ To Town (1970) & The Year Without A Santa Clause (1974). Even if you’re a Miser Brother we bet you won’t be able to resist singing along!

Episode 49: Punch-Drunk Love
Wednesday Jan 01, 2020
Wednesday Jan 01, 2020
What do you get when you mix novelty plungers, pudding, and an anxious romance? Well, we here at Nightcaps at Theater, can only assume it’s something that looks and feels like Paul Thomas Anderson’s Punch-Drunk Love (2002). Don’t worry about calling into a phone-sex line for intimacy/connection, we’ve got you covered there. Love can be as awkward as oppressive siblings, or as spontaneous as a Harmonia, dumped on the side of the street. We want to chew on your cheeks and scoop out your eyes in a loving way. Don’t renew your gym membership, skip the crumby party with the siblings and let’s go get dinner instead. Maybe later we can listen to Shelly Duvall croon a tune, underneath the moon?

Saturday Nov 30, 2019
Saturday Nov 30, 2019
Filigree, apogee, pedigree, perigee and welcome to a world of magic, witches, curious British waifs, Nazis, and tweaked flying LSD-fueled bed frames. Thanks to the Professor Emilius Browne Correspondence College of Witchcraft, and Nightcaps at the Theater you have been carefully chosen to test your apprentice witch abilities through the consumption of alcohol and the through the viewing of an otherwise highly underrated, classic Disney film. With Hosts, Jonathan Kwiatkowski, Daniel Ryan, and Grant Farrokh, you are truly in for a “magical” time. As you listen be sure you don’t roll any ankles while trying to fly your broom in the dead of night, or jump on the nearest bed, hoping to soar through the starry skies, and most certainly don’t take off all your clothes in the hopes that you have mastered Substitutionary Locomotion! We assure you the only spell you’re under is that of your spirits. Lastly, have fun, sing along, and enjoy an “unprepared” mark you, an “unprepared” night of bobbing along through Portobello Road, Pepperinge Eye, the Ise of Naboombu, and your own imagination.

In Heaven Everything is Fine, but with a little bit of liquor and a good movie, life is even better.

“Amuse-Bouche” – November 17th, 2019
Live from our sickbeds, directly to you, is the latest Amuse Bouche, pop culture content segment, sponsored by Nightcaps at the Theater. On tonight’s episode we discuss what it must be like to be cloned or live your life as Jeff Goldblum. If you like A Star Wars then at least two thirds of our hosting team will probably talk about that too, the other third of our hosting team would rather watch two dogs, fall in love. Anyways, pour yourself a cup of gender fluid, Puppet Flounder can’t hurt you here. Deep fakes are all the rage, but only by listening can you understand “the real” that is how bad the Terminator series has gotten, the bafflement of granting superpowers to historical figures, “fun” priests, and maybe even someday, hear Matthew Cabrera’s review of Snow Dogs? Oh wait, never mind…he watched Arctic F***king Dogs instead.
