Part kid adventure a la GOONIES, part summer camp slasher a la FRIDAY THE 13TH, part sci-fi parable a la BLACK MIRROR, we watched and paired wines with the 2025 under-the-radar indie feature MARSHMALLOW.

91% Critic score on Rotten Tomtoes, 86% Audience score.

It had a limited theatrical release back on April 11th, 2025, and is now avilable to rent or buy on VOD/streaming.

WINE TRIVIA QUESTION OF THE WEEK

What the hell is a GSM Blend, so what are the 3 grapes included, and most importanly...why? Where does this blend come from?

Is it:

1. Graciano, Sangiovese, and Mataro - the core blend of Chianti
2. Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvedre - the core blend of the Rhone
3. Gruner Veltliner, Sylvanner, and Müller-Thurgau - the great whites of Austria
4. Gamay, Semillion, and Merlot - an affordable Vin de France country blend.

To answer this question AND find out the answer, head over to our Substack - VintertainmentStudios.com, find this post on the Marshmallow movie, and cast your vote in the poll, then scroll to the bottom to see if you got it right!

One of the $trange$t comics ever published by Wildstorm Studios, Automatic Kafka ran a mere 9 issues but is nevertheless a series worth revisiting in 2025.

Paired with the tension between different grapes blended together, and adultified versions of childish wines.

Kick DC/Wildstorm to put out a trade paperback collection of it!

Author JOE CASEY himself wrote a 2-part history of the series + a retrospective on the extra-wild 4th issue:
