Flix and a Six

That’s right, THAT Dark Knight. You love it, we love it. Everyone loves it, and we love to talk about it. Sure we talked about some other things too (our love of all things Nolan, the excellent Pete Holmes Badman, Forgetting Sarah Marshall [again? how did we manage that?], etc), but we went all in on the main attraction. Plus our beer of the week, Kona Big Wave Golden Ale, gets its due. It’s the e...

We tackled a whole mess of stuff here. Like all over the damn map. The highlights: Beer! (obviously…. It’s Stone Delicious IPA by the way. Pretty tasty), Adam West (RIP Batman. There’s some good content of his from a month ago here), the new Black Panther trailer, and obviously the main attraction: Sausage Party. Like an orgy of content (see what I did there?). It all came together pretty nicely i...

Man I wish we had a better title for our glorious return. Our newest episode, after the briefest of hiatuses (hiatii? whichever it is), is on Wonder Woman, the first good DCEU movie. So now we have a reason to still have hope and keep watching their movies. It’s pretty damn good. So was our beer of the week: Dogfish Head Biere de Provence Saison. Our return saw some solid beer talk as well, as Ant...

James Gunn strikes again. Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2 is our topic, and it’s a good one. All the characters we love, plus a couple new ones, and an expansion of the wacky cosmic side of the MCU. Plus laughs. So many laughs (not to mention feels). The guys get into what makes this movie tick, as well as where it sits in the rapidly expanding Marvel pantheon. And they wash it all down with an Assa...

Fate of the Furious. F8 of the Furious? Serious missed marketing opportunity here folks. The guys watched Fate of the Furiosa (get it? seriously we can go all day with these) because why not. And it turned out to be a pretty fun ride (having expectations as low as Al did going in helps). What made it more fun was drinking Assawoman (get your minds out of the gutter) Angry Clown Brown Ale while dis...

That’s right it’s the 40th anniversary of Star Wars: Episode IV — A New Hope. So because we love the Star Wars Saga so much, and because Star Wars day was this past weekend (and no other reasons, definitely not anything schedule related or because we couldn’t see all the movies we had planned to see. Trust us), we decided to spend some time discussing one of our favorite movies (although as Anthon...

We debut a couple new aspects in the Flix & a Six universe in this episode: a full-on comedy movie topic and a live audience. The movie this week is Why Him?, featuring the odd pairing of Bryan Cranston and James Franco. Not exactly Abort and Costello in the pantheon of comedy duos, but damnit if they didn’t catch lightning in a bottle on this one. The two of them are the core of this comedy’s...

We tread a little new ground here, as our choice of the new release Ghost in the Shell marks the first movie we weren’t fully simpatico in our desire to go see. Since Al was cautiously interested, but Anthony was much less so, it made for a different viewing and discussion experience. We open up the movie talk with a fun little tangent on the recent trends in movie trailers (it’s relevant, Ghost i...

We apologize, this isn’t the strongest title, but we’re sticking to our conventions, title quality be damned! Don’t let the title fool you though, because Arrival was a damn good movie, and we like to think we did a pretty damn good job talking about it (I know, little biased here, but it happens). If you haven’t seen this yet, go fix that quick because we really liked it, and then come back and l...

Our newest episode sees us discuss the Legendary MonsterVerse (that’s the Gareth Edwards directed Godzilla and Jordan Vogt-Roberts’ Kong: Skull Island for you fans keeping score at home). We do a deep dive on both movies individually (Al was maybe, possibly faking his way through the Godzilla portion….. ok he was faking it, he saw a total of 8 mins of the movie). No faking it when it comes to Kong...

This week we did something a little different than our previous episodes. Instead of discussing a specific new movie (and/or its predecessor) we take a deep dive into the current, and future, landscape of the Superhero movie industry. Specifically, we spent most of our time on the MCU and DCEU. And it’s not like we’re the first people to trash the DCEU, but we like to think that we did it the best...

It is a period of civil war. rebel spaceships, striking from a hidden base, have won their first victory against the evil Galactic Empire. Ok sure that was a bad joke (we’re playing to the cheap seats here) but shit, if you haven’t realized by now that we are gigantically obsessed with all things Star Wars, I’m not sure even beating you over the head with the opening crawl will do it. Basically, i...

Actually, this is one of our shorter episodes (it’s still like an hour…. We like to talk). But instead of just a straight review of John Wick: Chapter 2, we spend the first half of the episode talking about the continuing expansion of the Wickiverse (yes I just made that up while typing, and don’t come at me if it exists somewhere on the internet, because I’m too lazy to check if someone already t...

Now that the 3-part saga that was our debut has concluded, it’s time to move on to Logan. And because we are the professionals you’ve come to expect (Ha!), we even figured out how to do a proper spoiler warning (not proud that it took this long. We’re sorry). In all seriousness, we spend the first half of the episode talking completely (mostly) spoiler free to give you a feel for how much we enjoy...

Just in case you were worried that we were always in lockstep, you can listen to us argue over what worked and what didn’t in Rogue One. Because Al thought the movie was great and Anthony thought it was good and everyone knows that’s as far apart on the spectrum as you can be….. Seriously we got pretty good mileage out of that since this is a story about characters and Anthony didn’t really like t...

Well, at least this was closer to the idea we had trying to talk Oscars, as we fall down the rabbit hole that is La La Land. Naturally, that means we went off on a big ol’ tangent as Al hijacked the pod to talk about Cloud Atlas (get used to this it’s gonna happen a lot) and Mr. Nobody. Anthony was kind enough to indulge him. We reviewed Fordham Copperhead Ale (this endorsement is way less likely...

In our inaugural episode we discussed the merits of Hacksaw Ridge in gory detail (pun intended). Of course it was supposed to be a one(ish) hour debut about beer, the Oscars, and Star Wars….but over 4 hours of content later you are graced with nearly one full hour of awkward introductions to our podcast, our highly sophisticated (Ha!) opinions on Newburgh Brewing Gigaboss Double IPA (still working...
