🎙️ Reel Beans — Episode One: Bitter Notes & Holiday Shadows

In our very first episode, we unwrap the eerie elegance of Black Christmas (1974)—a quietly revolutionary horror film that helped define the slasher genre. With a hot cup of coffee in hand, we reflect on what makes this film so unnerving, how it still resonates today, and why it pairs so perfectly with something smooth and comforting like Big Trouble.

☕ Coffee Pairing

Big Trouble by Counter Culture Coffee
A round, comforting blend with notes of caramel and nuttiness—perfect for a film that lulls you into coziness before creeping under your skin.
