Flix and a Six

Jack’s Abby is here to stay. We don’t usually kick off our synopsis with the beer, but we’ve enjoyed every one of their entries so far, and this one stuck to the trend…. We may do every single beer in their catalog. For this week, it’s simply Bier. Drink it. Like we did, discussing Darkest Hour. Continuing our trend of belatedly talking about Oscar relevant movies well after they’re released, and...

Black Panther is excellent, as advertised. That only scratches the surface of our discussion this week, as our rambling was elite. Beer, namely the return of Newburgh Brewing Company’s New York Boss, Nick Cage antics, Harry Potter musings, story time, Garland Sundays, and… wait for it…. a dramatic reading of graphic Nerd Porn Poetry. To be clear, not poetry about nerdy things, but rather a reading...

Timely as always, we have some thoughts on Get Out. Oh, what’s that? (checks calendar) Ah, it’s been over a year since Get Out was released. Sorry….. Wait the Oscars they’re (checks calendar)…. damn it that was like 2 weeks ago…… Better late than never? Yeah, let’s go with that. In other examples of our resounding competence at this, this episode also features long winded discussions about the imp...

If that title seems aggressive, here are some thoughts:  *Deal with it *Did you see this movie? Yea, aggressive doesn’t cover half of it *I mean come on this is some solid wordplay Sorry folks, now that we’ve gotten that out of the way, let’s all take a deep breath, because that movie was an EXPERIENCE. That’s probably the best way to put: you don’t watch this movie, you experience it. It’s as int...

OSCARS PREP! That’s right, for once we’re doing our job and churning out an Oscar nominated movie (on and here’s a link to the Oscars overview we mention) just a few short days before the ceremony itself. As you can tell (you’re a smart, discerning audience after all) this week’s episode is on Lady Bird. As Larry David might say, “Pretty, pretty, pretty good.” Just like the beer we drank this week...

The Big Sick is a heartwarming tale of love and whimsy and sunshine and rainbo — ok I’m sorry I can’t even finish that thought. I can’t take it seriously. This movie is some of those things, but it’s much more as well. It’s dark and hilarious, awkward and inappropriate. It’s a roller coaster ride of feels. We liked it a lot. Just like our beer for the episode: Rogue Mocha Porter. We’re on a pretty...

Aaaaaannndd we’re back. Sorry about that. We promise it won’t happen again…. no we don’t it will probably happen again. Anyway, we’re here now, and we have a brand spanking new episode. We know it’s a little late to the party with these #taeks, but with the Oscar’s right around the corner, we’re keeping this window open. Well if you’ve seen it, you know there’s some heavy stuff in here, so it’s a...

Ok, has everyone settled down yet? No? Good we haven’t either. Adrenaline pulsing through your body for an entire week probably isn’t great for your health, but damn the consequences! The moment we’ve all been waiting for has come and gone, you’ve seen The Last Jedi, and now you should be ready to hear what we think. Man did we think. This movie is packed full of content, and so is our episode. Bu...

No seriously spoilers, wait till you see it. Did I mention spoilers? This episode is full, so full of spoilers. For the love of all that is good and holy (the force) spoilers! We also drink beer. But then, spoilers.

So…. Free Fire was fun! Honestly it’s a movie where you just think back about all the stupid lines and injuries and situations. The incredulity of it all. Simultaneously smart and dumb….. You know just like your typical episode of Flix & a Six…. Moving on, we sampled the newest release of Game of Thrones beer from Ommegang: Winter Is Here. We catch up on each other’s week on air (no we couldn’...

MURDER! You know, for a movie about a murder and it being inspired by a heinous crime, this is a surprisingly light affair, at least for periods of the movie. It’s a good movie! Not earth shattering Oscar bait, not Suicide Squad, just a solid movie to be enjoyed for what it is. So we just have some fun talking about it. In this episode there’s no shocking news to cover, you know, except for the (h...

It’s fine if you can’t pronounce Stone Xocoveza, we had to look up a pronunciation just so we could do the episode. It was…. unique. You should give it a try though we definitely didn’t hate it. Of course, you might be wondering why this synopsis kicks off with beer talk, which definitely isn’t our standard form, but it’s definitely the most interesting thing about our topics this week. Don’t let...

Thor matters. We’re just as surprised as you are. This is already one of the top MCU movies in what is becoming a ridiculous catalog of titles. It’s also freaking hysterical. This isn’t a superhero movie, it’s an ensemble action comedy. I mean nonstop, laugh out loud funny comedy. So…. think Guardians of the Galaxy. Just don’t get it confused, they are not ripping this off. And that’s why this mov...

Who would have thought we’d be doing a Jackie Chan movie in 2017? Although, exactly what constitutes a “Jackie Chan Movie” seems to be up to debate, as one of our hosts may have had false expectations coming in to this one. Still, it’s good to see Jackie kicking ass on screen again. We got to discuss it while drinking one of the quirky Dogfish Head offerings: Flesh and Blood IPA. But that’s not al...

A Halloween special! Yea we know, it’s airing November 2nd, but it’s right here with the past week of Halloween festivities. It also allowed us to squeeze in at least one pumpkin beer, in keeping with the theme, and it was a good one. We featured Two Roads Roadsmary’s Baby, so we have all sorts of pumpkin/horror movie/Halloween tie-ins. Plus, all the best shows have special Halloween episodes, so...

We’re Back! That’s right, Flix & a Six is back, and hopefully better than ever. We apologize for our hiatus, but we’re glad you decided to stick around. We address our mysterious disappearance, with a little state of the union discussion (highlights include: discovering a hidden stash of Nazi paraphernalia, bachelor party antics, wedding hijinks, and honeymoon travel angst), as well as some in...

Tom Hardy fans rejoice! This week our focus (Ok we might have been pretty unfocused in this episode. There was some medium to heavy rambling) was on Legend, the Tom Hardy feature that features twice the Tom Hardy. Of course, when it comes to Flix & a Six, you know that’s not all you’re gonna get: there was some breaking news that’s not really breaking by the time you listen (In fairness, the S...

It’s that time. What time? THAT fucking time. That time where Anthony finally saw Scott Pilgrim vs The World, and so we get to talk about it. Thankfully, he liked it, otherwise this may have been our final episode. And how could he not like it? This movies is just flat out fun start to finish; by turns it’s absurd, funny, action packed, and makes you feel just a bit. We’re in lesbians with this mo...

Ok fine, that title is a little clunky, but we liked the whole “Rock you like a Hurricane” thing, and also we’ll do whatever we want. If you’ve got a better idea for a title, send it our way. We won’t do anything with it, but we will deal with the shame like adults. Or whatever. Anyway, we talked about Atomic Blonde, and beer (bonus beer content: both Keegan Ales Hurricane Kitty and assorted Al’s...

Dunkirk. Stone Brewing Stochasticity Hifi + Lofi Mixtape. Our movie and beer. A minimalist description in deference to a minimalist movie. Here on Flix & a Six, only on the Spinchoon.

It’s the long awaited return of the beloved Newburgh Brewing beer! It’s the brand new LagerBoss, fresh out of the tap, and delivered in a Crowler for our drinking pleasure. It was fantastic. Anthony was obsessed with it. Actually he got weird. Really weird. O Al liked LagerBoss, too, for what that’s worth. The weirdness didn’t stop us from having a damn good recording on our first in person record...

Something new! We try to keep it fresh here at The Spinchoon (no one likes stale pizza…. or ideas) so we went with something fun and new on HBO. We tackled the first two parts of a proposed trilogy of sports mockumentaries from the sick, twisted mind of Andy Samberg. Tour de Pharmacy and 7 Days in Hell. Drop everything and watch these (they’re both only about 45 minutes long) and check out the lau...

Blockbuster Movie sighting! Spider-Man: Homecoming is out and it’s a hit. And we loved it as much as anyone. The newest entry into the MCU was always going to catch our attention, and just like the other recent superhero movies we’ve discussed, this one succeeds on the strength of its story away from skyscrapers and explosions. Plus the cast was stellar. We wash this sweet episode down with Wells...

Baby Driver. Dogfish Head Beer to Drink Music to ’17 Tropical Blonde Ale, which is, per the labeling “A liquid soundtrack for welcoming warmer weather.” If you’ve seen the movie (which if you haven’t go see it now, then come back because we’re on a hot streak and this episode is gold) you know how the soundtrack is intrinsically tied to the movie. So beer and movie are a match made in heaven. As a...

At the conclusion of our recording, Anthony said “This was our best episode.” The stakes are high. If you’ve been listening along with us (all 3 of you) you’ve heard us mention Mr. Nobody before. Well the moment that no more than one of you has been waiting for has finally arrived, because that’s our topic today. We have thoughts. Oh, do we have thoughts for you. If you’ve seen this movie (and if...
