How We Seeez It is a review podcast all about how we see it. Steve and Noah talk movies, TV shows, and pair each episode with original cocktails inspired by the topic of the week. We mostly cover film and television, but we are always open to diving into whatever else catches our interest.
Steve is more of the film guy, while Noah leans more toward action, which makes for fun conversations and different takes on what we watch. Come listen as we break things down, share our opinions, and see where we agree, where we don’t, and what makes each movie or show worth talking about.

How We Seeez It! Episode 285 Brewery spotlight of OLD CAZ Beer
At Old Caz, our mission is simple: to create high quality, exciting products that bring people of all tastes and preferences together. Occasionally, we like to get together and drink a few beers. With so many great breweries local to us we have a huge selection of beers to select from. So, we thought what if we get a bunch of beers from one brewery and taste them all in one setting. So that’s what we are doing. We have chosen Old Caz brewery out of Rohnert Park for this episode. We got 10 beers and sat down to enjoy them. Of course, we record it and let you guys know How We Seeez It!.

How We Seeez It! Episode 279 Monty Python and the Holy Grail
“Oh, but you can't expect to wield supreme executive power just because some watery tart threw a sword at you.” Dennis. This month’s anniversary episode is possibly one of the greatest sketch comedy movies of all time. While also so quotable, most people know at least a few even if they have never seen the movie. So, at 50 years old did the Holy Grail hold-up? Did the low-budget story of King Arthur and his knights still keep us entertained? We cover our thoughts on it and there is so much to talk about in this one, so join us for the discussion and don’t forget about our cocktails for this episode. Should be some good ones.

Drinks for the Episode
"The Green Anointing of Ye Shaky Cup" as read by Brother Maynard's brother from the Book of Libations
3 parts gin — For the juniper doth lead the way, and lo, it hath a kick most righteous.
3-quarters part lemon juice — Squeezed by the hands of the meek, who were told it was a rite of passage, but were in fact just interns.
3-eighths part honey syrup — The golden nectar of the bees, who were not consulted but are buzzing with pride regardless.
3-twelfths part Green Chartreuse — And they were stumped, for they knew not why it was not simply called a quarter, but the number three was sacred, and so it remained.
3 ice cubes — No more, no less. For five is right out, and two shall not chill the spirit sufficiently.
One sprig of thyme — Plucked from the Holy Garden for garnish and for confusing the uninitiated.

How We Seeez It! Episode 278 The White Lotus Season 2
“They have a twisted relationship, and we are fine.” Harper Spiller. Power is the goal and sex is the currency. Well maybe not completely, but in some cases that is what we see as Season 2 stories involve a lot of different aspects of how sex can play a part in the lives of many. Compared to season 1, a much different look at the players in the stories we follow. All in all, another great show from Mike White. We cover our thoughts on it and there is so much to talk about in this one, so join us for the discussion and don’t forget about our cocktails for this episode. Should be some good ones.
