In this episode of Cabernet Queen’s podcast, Deb and Matt settle in for a cosy, funny chat that ranges from Halloween love/hate and cult films to travel plans, TV game-show nerves, and a blind wine tasting that ends with a satisfying reveal.

Key Takeaways

Travel & milestone celebrations: Matt’s just back from Crete, celebrating his parents’ 50th wedding anniversary (and his dad’s birthday), praising the hotel’s above-and-beyond service; Deb’s lining up a 60th year of treats: a Caribbean cruise, a bougie Crete weekend with lifelong friend Jane, and a private-pool junior suite.

Pop culture & personal stories: Halloween sparks film chat. Hocus Pocus gets love; The Exorcist is a hard no, plus Strictly teasers for next time. Matt recounts auditioning for The Million Pound Drop and later appearing on The £100k Drop, including a sweet behind-the-scenes moment with Davina McCall when the set paused.
