It took 73 episodes, but we finally covered a zombie flick!  In our latest episode we discuss a ground breaking film in the genre in 2003's "28 Days Later."  What a crazy 20 years it has been since we had a memorable first watch, and we love talking about it two decades later.  Along with 4 new beers, some good trivia and fun facts, we think you will enjoy listening almost as much a...

Our first sequel has come upon us and given the course of the movie industry over the last 20 years it makes sense that it is a superhero genre film.

In this episode, we sit down for some more beer and movie talk to discuss 2003's indie comedy/musical, "A Mighty Wind," from the genius creators of some of our favorite mockumentary classics. This happy hour is even more fun because we get to talk about music as well as films and beer. Though we may not have both loved this film as a comedy, anything that allows us the chance to tal...

Out with old of 2002 films, and in with the OLD of 2003!!!  See what I did there? We begin our journey of rewatching the films of 2003 with something old in the classic college comedy "Old School."  Who knew we would find ourselves talking about how much this has not only held up, but actually could be one of the best comedies of the era.  Add to it 5 new beers, including a Canadian favo...

We find ourselves at the end of the road in terms of our journey into the movies of 2002. After rewatching over 25 of that year's "best" movies, and mostly enjoying well over 100 beers, we sit and discuss our favorites from the year, and pick our version of the Oscars - The Viceni-Reels...it'll make sense when you listen. Thank you thank you thank you all for listening, for fin...

Our final full episode on the films of 2002 means that as usual we rewatch and discuss the Best Picture winner from that year, meaning we get to talk about one of our favorite films and musicals, "Chicago."

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to you all! We celebrate by releasing our annual Christmas episode, and while 2002 may not have had some classic holiday movies, it did have "Catch Me If You Can," which we still consider a Christmas movie.  Along with some new beers, wonderful trivia and a lot of laughs, we enjoy our rewatch of this somewhat forgotten Spielberg gem. Thanks for taking t...

We are nearing the end of our 2002 movies list, and of course we have to cover one of our favorites, not only of that year but in general, "The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers."  The continuation of the Middle-Earth saga is not exactly a short one, so we enjoy some extra beers along the way including a truly unique Strange Brew, feature some fun trivia and have a lot of laughs along th...

Our last happy hour, or last call if you will, from November is on 2002's Oscar favorite, "The Pianist."  Yet another example of us covering a film that we initially did not want to, and being reminded why we do this in the first place. Along with some new beers and new insights, we discuss what may well be a top 5 film in its genre once the dust settles in the end. Find us on Twitt...

In our first of two Happy Hour episodes from November, we talk about a very Paul Thomas Anderson style love story, meant in the nicest way possible, in 2002's "Punch- Drunk Love." Still in front of a live studio audience we enjoy some new beers, a great movie, Adam Sandler as an actor, and have lots of laughs so we hope you enjoy it as much as we did.

Halloween is upon us, so why not pick a scary movie to re-watch and discuss?  "The Ring" was a global hit in 2002, and 20 years later we wonder does it still hold up?

Our first Spike Lee film brings us back to one of our favorite NYC based "post 9/11" films in 2002's "25th Hour.  For some, this was their first exposure to Lee thanks to Norton being involved, and we are all the better for it.

Martin Scorsese has some all-time classic films...and he also has 2002's "Gangs of New York."  While this may not be one of our favorite films, we definitely had fun covering it, talking about five new beers, and of course ripping into some of the accents that shall we just say, are not the best work for some very fine actors. We hope you enjoy the episode and be sure to find us on...

Some movies are classics beloved by all, others are classics in our minds, and still others are classics in name only...you will know very quickly in our newest episode where we stand on "Spirited Away." Our first foreign animated film might not have been one we love, but we sure did have a good time recording it, and also enjoyed having some new beers along the way. Thank you listening...

In this episode we rewatch a favorite suspense film, and first alien invasion film, in 2002's "Signs."  Our 50th episode deserved something fun so we enjoy one of M.
