Justified Sips: Bourbon for the Neo-Western Drama
Actors in Justified: City Primeval’s first episode make the most of Wild Turkey 101 Straight Bourbon Whiskey. A nod to the show’s Western roots? Perhaps. One thing’s for sure, this product placement is well-justified.

Sweet Treats in Sweet Magnolias

Apple’s Noir-Tech Display in The Afterparty
Apple goes self-promoting in its own show The Afterparty. In the second season’s third episode, Apple’s Studio Display and Mac Studio Computer glam up a film-noir-style scene. A smooth integration of tech and classic cinema vibes.
Instant Lunch Fix in The Afterparty
Amid the glitz and glamour of Apple’s tech, Maruchan Instant Lunch also finds a spot on the table in The Afterparty. Actor Paul Walter Hauser’s character, Travis Gladrise, indulges in this convenient meal. Quite the stark contrast to the high-end Apple gear.
