Movies that turn 30 in 2025 | Heavyweights (1995)/ Old Forester Single Barrel

In this episode of Drinks and a Movie, we’re celebrating the beloved films turning 30 in 2025 by diving into the classic 90s comedy Heavyweights—a feel-good, laugh-out-loud gem that’s as quotable as it is unhinged.
Join us as we take a nostalgic trip back to Camp Hope, where a group of misfit campers take on the tyrannical Tony Perkis.

 But what’s a movie review without the perfect drink pairing? This week, we’re sipping on Old Forester Single Barrel, a bold and smooth bourbon that complements the campfire spirit of Heavyweights. With rich flavors of vanilla, oak, and a touch of spice, it’s the ideal drink to enjoy while reminiscing about the chaos and comedy that ensue when kids get control of the camp snack table.

Tune in as we break down the nostalgia, humor, and heartfelt moments of Heavyweights and discuss what makes this movie still so special today, all while savoring the distinctive notes of Old Forester Single Barrel.
