Flix and a Six

Move over Good Time, it's time for some Bad Times! A complex, layered movie juxtaposed with a simple, straightforward beer. Circles within circles. A light episode for news and nuggets, but never fear, we keep it spicy with Viggo Mortensen's explosive brush with death, the (long, drawn out) death of DC movies, the (long, drawn out, possibly ending) coma of The Walking Dead, and disappearing superh...

We're back on the blockbuster train, so that's kind of fun. It seemed like the perfect timing to add some new aspects to the show, in particular, our new recurring segments: Kill a Narrative and What Are We Watching? They may never measure up to our best segment, the inimitable Reading, but still, it should provide some interesting content going forward. We would be remiss if that came at the expe...

So, for a charming anecdote involving obscure sports, Archer, and mispronunciation hijinks, look no further than the beer segment of our show. It's quite the ride. As is the discussion of this movie, which was as filled with hijinks as the beer, as one of our hosts had a unique viewing experience. It's a delightful adventure all around, including guest co-host, and friend of the podcast, Damian! H...

Tannenzäpfle means "little fir cone". Thus ends our German language lesson for the day. While we may not journey deep into the Black Forest, we, of course, journey deep into movie trailers, movie news, and random tangents. We will always get lost in tangents. And we'll always be happy to be pleasantly surprised by a clever, irreverent comedy that borrows (steals?) from our beloved Edgar Wright. Le...

Ok so maybe we got so far off the rails we ended up on another rail line. Sorry everyone (especially you, PETA). We have a big, dumb, action movie for you, though, that we spend plenty of time with… even more time than we spend on James Bond related rabbit hole diving... or beer stories, even…. It might be a close call between the feature film and movie trailers. We're not perfect. However, we are...

DCEU news you say? Imagine that. Get ready for #HammerCavill to finally take off. That's a topic we'll always be here for, just like a bevy of new movie trailers. Got some fun story time from our lives to share with you as well. Oh and beer. Some damn good beer, and maybe even a surprise beer…. That's pretty much it. Wait, no there's something missing. Oh yeah, the movie. You may have heard of it...

Nolan? Check. Classic movie? You know it. So you know we're in our wheelhouse here, love us or hate us. From start to finish, derailed opening, to news, notes, and nuggets, to a deep dive on a beloved movie, we are our most Flix & a Six selves. Do we ramble about random stuff? Listener, you know we do. Muse about old movies we stumbled on? As only we can. Upcoming trailers? Yep. This is the go...

Time to cleanse our palates from last week's debacle. The movie, not the episode. Right. Anyway, we slowed things down and jumped in the time machine to wax nostalgic on a fun high school movie from the early days of the new millennium. However, much as we may love synergy around here, our other discussion topics have just about nothing to do with any of that, ranging from upcoming movie rumblings...

We hope you have a Good Time with this episode too, even though we had a Bad Time with the movie itself. We've been on a great run, so a market correction was inevitable. Just as inevitable as Al laughing at more DC content, especially a gritty Alfred prequel. Just as inevitable as Anthony's excitement at Hans Zimmer news. At least we were saved by delicious beer, excitement over future beer, and...

Let's take a moment to wave goodbye to Blockbuster SZN 2018. Here with our final entry of the summer action flicks, who would have thought that 56 year old Tom Cruise would still be at the top of his game? He's a throwback in this age, just like the lovely can art of this week's beer. Hopefully you've planned accordingly, because this week's opening was derailed by one man's plan. Don't worry, tho...

This movie provokes thoughts. Good, bad, happy, sad. Confusing? Sure, but definitely thoughts. Indifference isn't an option. So exactly the opposite of a DCEU movie. We also had thoughts on upcoming movies and their expectations, the death of Moviepass, the (alleged) top 100 episodes of TV in the new millennium, and adventures in movie editing. O, and beer, obviously. We're sorry for such a seemin...

Oh shit! With the summer blockbuster season winding down, we're throwing it WAY back, to the original summer blockbuster. We figured that Shark Week was the perfect timing for it. Oh, and the beer choice? Well let's just say that the universe works in mysterious ways, because much as we'd like to claim the credit for perfectly planning it out, the beer selection was somewhat serendipitous. But not...

We're buzzing right back into Blockbuster SZN (We're sorry we'll stop eventually). Stay tuned for what comes next with a pause in the tent pole flix, but for now, sink your teeth in. Don't forget your sides, as we debate old new Hulk vs new new Hulk, discuss our summer viewing schedules, muse on movies old and new, and generally banter and get as far off topic as we've ever gone. Get ready to size...

We interrupt your regularly scheduled blockbuster with an important movie. This week is a throwback to 2001, with a groundbreaking film from our formative years. Or something like that. You'll take the beer more seriously, at any rate, because the great beer selections roll on uninterrupted. An American Pale Ale paired with a great American flick. Rounding out the episode are some of your favorite...

BLOCKBUSTER SZN RAGES ON!!! This week it's Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom. In the spirit of BLOCKBUSTER SZN, and our 50th (!!!) episode, we have our first ever guest host, the one and only Gianna Biolsi! This week features a delightful raspberry beer, a perfect complement to the warm weather. Of course, we open with the customary news, notes, and musings you've come to love (or hate, we don't judg...

The month of June stays hot with another action flick. Up next in the queue is Hotel Artemis, best described by one of our hosts as "part John Wick, part Transporter, and part Dredd remake." If that sound like your type of movie, check it out and listen. If that sounds as crazy as it looks on screen, well, yeah you're probably right. We also have the hottest beer we've ever tried, made with real b...

With Blockbuster Season in full swing, our next entry is Solo: A Star Wars Story. Star Wars, ever near and dear to our hearts, makes for an episode that's so full of content we had to hide some in the hidden smuggling compartments, along with a mysterious beer that we reveal in a very special opening. Rounding out our discussion topics, we have Box Office Bombs, Reboots Redux, Batman Theories, Tox...

We are here to kick off our blockbuster run! You can find this episode under the floorboards next to the cure for blindness. We are going to talk sequels, "It" casting, superhero fatigue (again), weird Walking Dead news, give you a preview of what you can expect over the next few episodes, and crack ourselves up reminiscing about Deadpool 2 while sipping on some Jack's Abby Blood Orange Wheat. You...

We missed a week for vacation and we need to catch up on Deadpool and Solo. So, for this episode, we are taking you all the way back to 2001's non-space odyssey. With Al's pinky in a cooler on the floor of our van, we race our way through the blood pouring down his arm, movies that make you say "ok", a super heroic robbery, bad boys, bad business, and improv, before we discuss Rat Race, while drin...

We're sooorry it took us this long to get to Super Troopers. Funny movie. Funny guys. You know what you're getting from them. And what you're getting from us. So it's general chicaneries (!!!), movie news, Chris Hardwick appreciation, and another hit beer: Two Roads Espressway Cold Brew Coffee Stout. Come check out a new Flix & a Six, only on The Spinchoon!

YES, this is our Infinity War episode. YES, we are going to get knee deep in spoilers. YES, we will give you fair warning before that happens so you can pause and come back once you crawl out from under that rock and see it. On this week’s episode: Infinity War, DCEU slander, Cigar City Brewing Guayabera Citra Pale Ale, and a special surprise beer before spoiler town.  Flix: Avengers Infinity War...

Surprise! No movie this week; it’s time to get ourselves ready for Infinity War this weekend. Come join us as we take a look at what’s happened in a decade of Marvel movies, and what’s to come as we transition from Phase 3 of the MCU to Phase 4. Our other topics included movie news (Venom trailer, Deadpool antics, etc.), as well as the beer of the week: Ballast Point Sour Wench Blackberry Ale. Pre...

Veep fans assemble! If you haven’t heard of The Death of Stalin, and you’re a fan of Veep (or clever, dark comedy), check out Armando Ianucci’s directorial debut. Then, come back and listen to this. You won’t want to miss out on our discussion of this week’s movie, live-action remakes, cinematic legal drama, Al’s spicy lips, and Infinity War anticipation. Plus, we feature another excellent brew fr...

We’re reaching into the vault here. Sure this movie is 12 years old, but it’s so damn good. It’s in Al’s vaunted Top 3 (for whatever that’s worth). So we figured let’s have a little fun with that. We opened up with some of our classic rambling and drank a delicious beer. This week it’s Lord Hobo Brewing Company Consolation Prize Double India Pale, and it continues our streak of successes. So check...

The Big 4–0! Well, maybe not the customary version of the expression, but we’re still feeling pretty excited about this milestone. It’s also our 2nd Annual Easter Episode! What does that mean for you, our listeners? A few things: nothing Easter themed, a live episode since we see each other this day every year, Podcasting Under the Influence, and all the other things you love about our show. That...
