The Basics Flick — The Wandering Earth* Six — Newburgh Brewing Beach Chair Hosts — Anthony Costanzo & Alessandro Biolsi Tweet-length Reviews The Wandering Earth is completely bonkers and a bit too all over the place however it makes up for some of these issues with intermittent moments of intense emotion and some bizarre action sequences. 6/10 — Anthony After the initial disorienting shock of...

The Basics Flick — Titan A.E. Six — Sam Adams Mountain Berry Hosts — Anthony Costanzo & Alessandro Biolsi Panel — Dominick Biolsi Tweet-length Reviews Guilty pleasure soundtrack including Lit and Creed? Check.

The Basics Flick — The King of Staten Island Six — Belfast Bay Lobster Ale Hosts — Anthony Costanzo & Alessandro Biolsi Tweet-length Reviews A raw emotional comedy kicking the Vince Gilligan theory into high gear, this flick is pure heart and pure Apatow. 7/10 — Anthony A slow, inconsistent start gives way to a heartfelt—if surprisingly unpolished for Appatow—second half.

The Basics Flick — Idiocracy Six — Bell's Larry's Latest Sour Ale Hosts — Anthony Costanzo & Alessandro Biolsi Tweet-length Reviews Idiocracy has aged incredibly well for a fart joke from 2006.

The Basics Flick — Dune (1984) Six — Cambridge Brewing Co Working Class Hero Host — Anthony Costanzo Panel — Alessandro Biolsi, guest 1 Tweet-length Reviews This entirely too sweaty and entirely too lacking in diversity cosmic rock opera is train-wreck-style compelling, and a true product of its time. So weird(ing) it’s... ok-adjacent 5/10 — Anthony A mess of a movie with a framework of something...

The Basics Flick — Logan Lucky Six — Golden Road Brewing, Palisades Pineapple Host — Anthony Costanzo Panel — Alessandro Biolsi Tweet-length Reviews A witty hi-jinx infused heist flick pulled off by lovably simple characters, each with their own unique schtick.

The Basics Flick — Ex Machina Six — Brewery, Beer Host — Anthony Costanzo Panel — Alessandro Biolsi, Caleb Kroemer Tweet-length Reviews Ex Machina is part of the Alex Garland god complex anthology. Told through the lens of 4 characters in 4 perfect performances, The story unfolds as a heart pounding and unnervingly steady crescendo that has me hooked from beginning to end. 9/10 — Anthony A slow bu...
