Land of Mine

Whisky Galore (#24)
Jul 6, 2020Tap to summarizeTime to drink your socks off, kids! Brendan and Jason travel to the island of Todday to discover a bunch of very sad alcoholics that have run out of whisky! But it's an Ealing Comedy so it's funny! You'll chuckle at the ineptitude of Captain Waggett and his crusade against the islanders, have a good larf at all the behind-the-scenes drama and why the director hated his own film and of course - you better bring the ice because your hosts are drinking some FINE whisky. The guys also roll the dice to find out what they'll be watching next week. Join us, won't you?
