Two Dudes, Brews and Reviews

Oh yeah, you betcha that Two Dudes, Brews and Reviews are back with most darn tootin' episode this side of the Dakota's. We're talking about the Coen Brothers 1996 film Fargo, starring Frances McDormand, William H. Macy, Steve Buscemi, and Peter Stormare. This dark comedy/crime drama is a strikingly realistic take on crime and murder, contrasted with some of the goofiest most incompetent character...

HARK! We're talking about The Lighthouse, a mind-fuck of a film featuring Willem Dafoe and Robert Pattinson. Robert Eggers gives us two hours of men drinking, whackin' off, farting, and completely losing their marbles, and yet somehow manages to be a thought-provoking, hilarious, and tension-filled movie experience. In other news, we both talk about our most recent road-trips (this was recorded af...

YOU THINK YOU KNOW ME...and you might be right, we have no idea who's listening to this. Regardless, Alex tries to throw Austin off of his game with our review of JPEGMAFIA's 2019 album 'All My Heroes Are Cornballs', and somewhat succeeds. While Austin has come around to Peggy recently with his newest 2021 album 'LP!', it's certainly not the case here. We go through the album track-by-track, but a...

After a long absence from the podcast, we welcome back our favorite special guest: technical difficulties!

Aside from that, we discuss the Ohio Cicada apocalypse (this was recorded in the early Summer...

Our conversation tackles the amazing cinematography...

Dogs - who doesn't love them?...and who doesn't love these adorable canines featured in an animated film that tackles themes of propaganda, political assassination, and pet genocide? Look, as fucking weird as all of this sounds, Wes Anderson oddly makes it work in this gorgeously animated dark comedy that features quite an incredible ensemble cast from the likes of Bryan Cranston, Edward Norton, B...

Adam Sandler is taking cruises and vacationing while filming his movies? Well fuck it, we're on vacation too bitches! While drinking homemade margaritas, we attempt to make sense out of this baffling and truly soul-sucking "film" that is among the worst Adam Sandler's career. Between the loose plot, rampant product placement, lack of comedy, and casual racism, we can only say one positive thing ab...

Another round of the TDBR podcast brings you...Another Round, the 2020 award winning Danish film about a group of school teachers who tackle a theory that states keeping your blood alcohol level at a .05 brings you social and professional benefits. This episode also sees Alex and Austin discovering their love for La Fin Du Monde, the amazing Belgium Tripel by Unibroue Brewing out of Canada. Near t...

Mark this as the day that the whisky won... Quite easily the most tangent-filled episode in the history of TDBR, as Alex and Austin fight through drunken tangents to discuss the classic 1993 album Siamese Dream by The Smashing Pumpkins.

WARNING: If themes of sexual assault make you uncomfortable, please consider skipping this episode. Today we're talking about the film Promising Young Woman, an exciting and thought-provoking late 2020 release. Throughout the show we gush about how likable Bo Burnham is, discuss social media, and Austin explains his love for the Kung Fu Panda trilogy. Also, Alex is VERY hungover on this episode, b...

For today's show, we're dissecting the immensely influential 2001 album Discovery by Daft Punk. While our fandom of the group differs between the two of us, we both agree that this is one of the best entry points for getting familiar with electronic/house music. This episode was recorded prior to Daft Punk's announcement that the group was disbanding, so Alex makes some predictions about their fut...

On this episode, Alex and Austin are dissecting the 2020 Netflix original film I'm Thinking of Ending Things, easily one of the most disorienting films either one of us have ever seen.

We also draw comparisons between the album and the relationship of its themes (can technology be consider...

On this episode, Alex and Austin discuss the 2001 Japanese animated film Spirited Away. Directed by the legendary Hayao Miyazaki, this film is often cited as one of the genre's best. During our conversation, we collectively swoon over the well-aged visuals and creative world-building, all while enjoying Japanese beer and some cheap store-bought Saké. Admittedly, Alex feels like he was thrown into...

In this episode of the TDBR podcast, Alex and Austin look back on Alfred Hitchcock's infamous 1960 horror/thriller Psycho. Known for shattering numerous barriers at the time of its release, the film is mostly remembered nowadays for its unforgettable shower-scene.
