Beer and a Movie

We go to war with Ridley Scott's new epic, Napoleon, and then go back to the future with Scott's classic, Blade Runner. Guest Roland Alaniz joins the fun. Don't miss this more-fun-than-you-can-handle episode. Beers by Burlington Beer Company and Weathered Souls Brewing/Dogfish Head Brewing.

Alexander Payne is back with the hilarious, heartwarming The Holdovers. We pair it with Sideways, his first go-around with Paul Giamatti from 2004, meet new guest Jeremy Alexander, tackle Texas beer legend Shiner Bock and a gaggle of IPAs from New Belgium Brewing.

We tackle two international features this week including this year's Palme d'Or-winning Anatomy of a Fall. Then things get radical with the Mexican feature Radical. Guest Roland Alaniz is back to help us make sense of it with a Run the Jewels beer collab and an 11.2% ABV vanilla barleywine that goes down wonderfully.

Bright light city sets our soul afire with a heavy dose of Priscilla, Sofia Coppola, Elvis and Viva Las Vegas. Guest Emily Suggs is back and brings her well-worn copy of Elvis & Me, Joe's first Elvis Movie, and David's excitement over a director's redemption. Beers by Oxbow Brewing and Collective Arts Brewing.

Fincher is back, we're excited, and our Patreon friends pick a Killer pairing for The Killer. Yikes!

The Killer with Stesti's Blueberry Lager Man Bites Dog with Equilibrium Brewing/Horus Brewing Accipiter imperial coconut stout.

A Scorsese drop during All Horror October yields a bonus episode this week because we just couldn't wait! Killers of the Flower Moon with guest Sean McLain. Can this film which such high expectations possibly meet them? We tell you everything!  Beer by Real Ale Brewing Co.

The final All Horror October episode delves into experimental territory with Skinamarink and the mythical cult-favorite, Begotten. Can two delicious beers and guest Sean McLain help us decipher these visual mysteries? Caution: More questions than answers may emerge with these two challenging films. Join us on Patreon for a bonus After Hours episode every week!

One of us calls one of this week's home invasion horror films 'a masterpiece'. All Horror October continues with Hush (2016) and Inside (2007), hand selected by guest and home invasion expert, Josh Deleon. Was Joe right to give so many warnings about the gore-level of Inside? Can David handle a look back at one of his first college craft beers? Does Josh need to pick different movies to watch and...

It's this year's All Horror October batch of the most recent horror new releases with two franchises, Saw X and Exorcist: Believer, along with the PG-13-rated, Hindu lore creature-feature, It Lives Inside. Kailey Diaz joins us and, along with three beers, we balance horror and high-ABV humor well into the 2nd hour of this mega-episode. And most importantly, we really don't see sucked-out-eyeball t...

All Horror October IV begins with our Italian Horror Maestro Double Feature: Mario Bava's Bay of Blood (1971) and Dario Argento's Suspiria (1977) with guest Ronee Martinez. Ronee, wearing an Argento T-shirt and a taxidermied bat, brings her expertise as the operator of The Official Corpus Christi Horror Club.  We kick things off in bloody style with two great films and beers by 3 Nations Brewing a...

“Paul Dano is a god d@mned American treasure,” says this week’s guest Anthony Zoccolillo. We try to make a little Dumb Money, the new Dano film about the notorious 2021 GameStop stock short controversy, and explain why we paired it with Fincher’s The Social Network? We learn something new about David, Joe still hates The Ring, and Anthony {perfectly?} describes the taste profile of farmhouse ales....

Dr. Horror, Kyle Ferguson, is BACK to discuss Kenneth Branaugh's latest, A Haunting in Venice, along with the 1973 Roeg CLASSIC, Don't Look Now! How did we feel about this latest spook-filled Poirot whodunnit? Did Don't Look Now's reputation live up to this first-time-viewing experience for Kyle and Joe? We save Don't Look Up's spoiler ending until the very end so buckle up, and enjoy this blood-d...

David gets excited to review one of his favorite working directors, Kelly Reichardt's, new film, Showing Up. This quiet character set in the world of Oregon art allows us to also take a look at Tim Burton's Big Eyes (2014). Returning guest, Pamela Brouillard, brings the high intellectual takes as usual, but then shocks us repeatedly with some great drops.  Beers by Untitled Art (of course)!

See Bottoms! That's our take this week with first-time-guest Meredith Melville. But should you go back to Bottoms writer/director Emma Seligman's debut, Shiva Baby? That's a little more mixed. Two films from the same director...two beers from the same brewery. Garden Path Fermentation enters the BaaM 5-Timers Club after we enjoy their The Easygoing Drink and The Wet Hopped Ship!

We remember Paul Reubens by spending a little time down memory lane with Pee Wee's Big Adventure and guest Ethan Thompson. We try not to just do a quote-a-thon, but so...many...quotes. We pair it with Jacques Tati's titular character Monsieur Hulot as featured in Playtime.  BaaM Patron Beer Saint, Daniel Benavidez, provides us with two 14% barleywines from Weathered Souls Brewing's #BIL series, an...

Dave, Joe and Harold remember 70s directing legend William Friedkin by diving in to two of his early films, Sorcerer and Cruising. Both were box office and critical bombs that have grown in esteem through the decades. What are our verdicts? All while enjoying two beers from Jester King and Nebraska Brewing Company. 

Dave and Joe welcome back comedian Roland Alaniz to discuss the new Will Ferrell/Jamie Foxx canine comedy, Strays, along with the 2014 Hungarian canine revenge opus, White God. Roland hosts the podcast, Sports with Roland, so we start with Sportz, a very blue gose from Turning Point Beer. The interesting sours continue in the second half with a very mochi Berliner Weisse from Parish Brewing. 

David returns to meet first-time guest Tyler Chrobocinski from the band Left Handed Knives. We ooze into a Seth Rogen co-writer/producer/voice actor double feature: TMNT: Mutant Mayhem and Sausage Party. We explore the beer named after Left Handed Knives (or was that the other way around?) from B&J's Brewpub out of Corpus Christi, TX. Films are accompanied by Ingenious Brewing and 903 Brewing.

We start a new sporadic series this week: "Our Favorite Movies." Guests Pam Brouillard and Kailey Diaz return armed, each with one of their favorite movies: One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest and Pan's Labyrinth, respectively. We crack one from Turning Point Beer, Ingenious Brewing, and De Dolle Brouwers to get us through a very fun, sometimes deep, conversation about...our favorite movies.

Joe's kids, Hunter and Savannah, join him to discuss Barbenheimer weekend's big releases: Oppenheimer and Barbie. 

We choose to accept the mission: Mission Impossible: Dead Reckoning (Part One) along with a McQuarrie connection, Usual Suspects. Does the newest Tom Cruise production live up to the hype? How does Usual Suspects hold up after all these years? Beers by Back Pew Brewing, Evil Twin Brewing and Prairie Artisan Ales

Our second 'Raunch-com' in three weeks, we go on a Joy Ride with guest Chef Harold Ramos. We move into early Justin Lin with 2002 Sundance breakout Better Luck Tomorrow. Harold brings two Weldwerks Brewing Medianoche variants and we go nuts over the thick, barrel-aged Imperial Stout elixir. 

Dave, Joe and special guest, Sean McLain, don their fedoras and strap on their whips to travel deep into the Indiana Jones franchise. From Raiders to The Temple to the 'Last' Crusade to Crystal Skulls and into the new Dial of Destiny we snake through each film and leave no insect-covered stone uncovered. Our favorite (and least favorite) prologues, love interests, villains, action sequences, and s...

With the new romcom No Hard Feelings, billed as a raunchy laughfest, hitting screens, we took it as a perfect opportunity for a bit of ribaldry on the podcast this week. To pair with that, we go back to what is widely regarded as one of the greatest romcoms of all time, Billy Wilder's 1960 classic, The Apartment. Returning guest Kailey Diaz brings her always-on-point wit to the table as well as a...

This week, Joe and Dave make contact with intelligent lifeforms Roland and Sarah to discuss two alien arrival films with postmodern comedy elements. First up is Wes Anderson's latest, Asteroid City, a play within a telecast within a film that features one of the most expansive ensemble casts we've seen in some time. That's followed by another film with an overflowing ensemble, the oft-derided Mars...
