On this sandworm inspired episode of Movie And A Beer, we discuss the epic sci-fi adaptation of Frank Herbert's novel Dune by Denis Villeneuve.

On this fun and musical episode of Movie And A Beer, we watched The Muppets Haunted Mansion movie with our youth correspondent Otto.

For this special short episode of Movie And A Beer, we watched the classic Mel Brooks spoof spectacular Spaceballs while sipping on some fresh hop beers. While the language tends to be more adult than not, the film itself is full of physical slapstick comedy and tons of puns that most young adults would enjoy.

On this LIVE recording of Movie And A Beer from Chill N' Fill here in Portland Oregon, we watched Zoolander as part of their Monday Movie Night and enjoyed a local fresh hop beer from Stormbreaker Brewing. As you might imagine, a comedy full of 1990's actors, models, and superstars has its bright moments, it definitely didn't age well and we had some issues with some of the scenes.   We really enj...

Once again on Movie And A Beer we visit the 'Superhero' genre of films with the titular 1989 film Batman . Staring Michael Keaton (Batman), Jack Nicholson (Joker), and Kim Basinger (Vicki Vale). With super cheesy practical effects, and a story focused on the Joker's origin story, this film has a lot of nostalgia and not a lot of plot. Even our youth correspondent Otto agrees, not really that great...

This time around on Movie And A Beer we review the film No Sudden Move . Steven Soderbergh comes back to the cinema with this 1950's gangster classic.

In this mid-life crisis episode of Movie And A Beer, we discuss the recently released film Nobody staring Bob Odenkirk of Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul fame as Hutch Mansell, as a retired 'Auditor' that's now going through a crisis of his own making.

On this exceptional episode of Movie And A Beer, we review the 1996 classic Mars Attacks! and compare three IPA's while laughing away at the crazy antics of the aliens.

The film has a cornucopia of Hollywood elite making the best of the alien invasion trying to...

Most of them are of t...
