Pixels & Pints

Somewhere between a triumphant return and the gory, pus-covered and certainly fatal evolution that creates a snake-monster that bursts out of your chest cavity while your space-faring colleagues look on, Bounty Hunter Banter has morphed into Pixels and Pints! Join us as Dan and Pete, regularly joined by Chris, go back to ripping into everything pop-culture related whilst consuming the finest craft...

Chris rejoins the crew to regale us with his story of bathtub woe before we launch into a range of video games, all the good comic book movie trailers being sprayed onto the Internet lately, how crap we felt the returning episodes of all the CW comic-based TV series’ were, and Pete continuously misplaces characters from one comic book company into the other… Beers reviewed this episode: 1) Hop Nat...

In this episode we’re joined by a very good friend, Suey, who’s been asking to be on the show since we started but unfortunately has never heard an episode! Kicking off with a recap of our recent QuipLash escapades, we launch into the latest Star Wars trailer, Pete completely makes up an alternate storyline to Red Dead Redemption 2 (and gets away with it), we somehow end up talking about guns for...

With Chris slumbering away in his bed-chamber after a late night working, Dan and Pete tackle the World 8 Grand Prix wrap-up, the new Punisher trailer, the Superman comic arc that almost lost a subscription, the Discovery of a new Star Trek series and an Expanse of other pop-culture topics.   Beers reviewed this episode: 1) Hop Nation Brewing Co. – The Damned – Pilsner – 4.8% 2) Omnipollo &am...

In a very special episode, we record live from Pumphouse Sydney in the midst of the Pumphouse World 8 Grand Prix, a Mario Kart tournament to celebrate the launch of Bounty Hunter Brewing’s latest concoction, the World 8 Raspberry & Peach Sour. Kidnapping various passers-by throughout the tournament, we’re honoured to have a chat with friends of the show and previous guests Alistair and James,...

Kicking us off, Chris launches into the Lego Batman Movie before we cover Alien Covenant, the Nintendo Wii U, Overwatch, Divinity and TV series Hannibal and American Gods. We end up deep into (pun intended) a conversation about alternative sources of lactobacillus to create sour beers, before Chris regales us with his sad story of vehicular woe. Oh, and we review five massive beers throughout! Bee...

Pete kick’s us off with a rundown of the staggering number of beers he managed to consume in Vegas before we jump into American Gods, outdated movie references, the Defenders, and all things Stanley Kubrick. We bounce through some recent video game titles we’ve been playing before closing out with a brief revisit of Guardians 2 and the Hannibal TV series.   Beers reviewed this episode: 1) Mik...

We launch into this episode with some video game discussion, including Player Unknown’s Battlegrounds, Crash Bandicoot and a little Arkham Knight before moving into movies and TV shows such as the Hellboy reboot, the latest Justice League trailer, Stargate Origins and Tales from the Crypt. We also talk about a couple of awesome comics including a crossover between Ghostbusters and the Teenage Muta...

A big episode recorded from within the bowels of the Australian Brewery in the midst of a brew, this episode spans movies including Spiderman: Homecoming and Guardians of the Galaxy 2, to Doctor Who (again), Ghost Rider comics and our shared journey through beer exploration. We also cut to a very special interview recorded live from Wayward Brewery with our friend Tim Davies: orchestrator, co...

Returning to our usual programming, we kick off with some video game talk before Pete gets all political about the companies that make our favourite games. Chris waxes lyrical about his disappointment at Transformers 5 before we review the last Capaldi season of Doctor Who, the Kong movie, Victor Frankenstein and a really expensive comic book thrown in for good measure. In other news, we’re giving...

In our second live episode, we record from Uncle Hops within the Bank Hotel, Newtown during Canada Day celebrations, with Stockade Brew Co. running a 7-tap takeover for the day. Honouring us with their presence during the episode are both Tom Pigott from Uncle Hops and Anton Szpitalak, co-owner of Stockade Brew Co. We start the episode with Anton detailing the inspiration and background to each of...

Join us for a very different episode to our usual format, where we take a deep dive into this year’s Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) – if you aren’t into your video games this might not be the episode for you, but we promise you it’s filled with our usual antics and poorly thought-out opinions! Working our way through the press conferences for Electronic Arts, Microsoft, Bethesda, Ubisoft and S...

For this episode, we’re joined by a very special guest host, Al. Dan kicks things off by giving us all candy, but he must have mixed things up because we all pass out and wake up in a dark tower owned by Ryan Gosling. Luckily we escape in a stolen van, but find the freeway littered with dozens of trailers blocking our path. Pursued by both aliens and mutants, we’re rescued by Deadpool in a cab dri...

We start our adventure on a planet filled with deadly green crystals, moving on to purple lightsabres and then travel through time in a DeLorean to run a blade through the holographic adult entertainment industry. The results fill us with dread, but thankfully we are saved by a range of strong female role models and get all political about it! We travel back in time, this time in a blue box, to vi...

In a packed episode, we kick off with a light serving of spoiler-free banter about guarding the galaxy, ultimately mastering the universe before taking a very long ride through a very dark cave filled with bats. The scenery changes, but even at full throttle it takes us quite a while to get out and into the dawn, only to discover we’ve accidentally entered a battlefront and quickly find ourselves...

In a continuation of our live streaming event at the historic Pumphouse Sydney, Chris and Pete start with their final opinion on Legion and how fantastic Chris Claremont is, and then launch straight into updates on our ongoing challenges – Dan spends a long time talking about Supergirl (again), almost sounding like he’s enjoying the show albeit with a constant finger on the fast-forward button; an...

Recorded live from the Pumphouse Sydney for our first Podcast and Facebook Live streaming event, we kick off with some recently released trailers before launching Full Throttle into video games and point out some lovely lace-work before noticing something is watching us from the sewers. We break Mjölnir and receive a death-note from Thor before forgetting the name to a very important spaceship and...

Donning a leotard, cape and skirt, Dan flies into this episode with his initial thoughts on Supergirl, then solves a crime, kills a bad guy and throws away some content. We go back to 1999, enter the Matrix and leave Iron Fist inside it, come home to find spiders everywhere and conclude that maybe colour-blind people shouldn’t read comics and then make movies or TV shows. Chris floats his idea for...

We kick off this episode with a bang, with Chris and Pete getting their Iron Fist on, we complain about how grainy Netflix 4k is, and have a crisis that seems to last forever. We also turn the lights off on the latest Justice League animated movie and read parts of the script backwards, Pete reveals The Division's year 2 plan (hint: ), and Chris forgets the name to his own beer, but makes up for i...

In our second episode Dan air-swims over to Chris' crashing chopper just to see his imminent death face, we ponder Tarantino's thoughts on Batman, take a deep dive into the multiple personalities of Legion, find out who drinks all the beer to measure the IBU, rewrite some mythology, compare our favourite mega-rich superheroes and much, much more!
