Beer and a Movie: Recent Episodes
Joe Hilliard, David Gurney, & Carlos Cooper
This week, we take on a haunting double feature from Australian filmmaking duo Danny and Michael Philippou. First up is their newest film, Bring Her Back, a moody, emotionally charged descent into grief and the supernatural that really showcases the directors’ growing horror universe. Then it’s on to their breakout hit, Talk to Me, the high-octane possession thriller that put the Philippous firmly on the map with its stylish scares and raw emotional undercurrent.
Third-chair guest Adam Beam is back, and fueling the conversation are standout brews from Belleflower Brewing and Turning Point Beer.
🎬 It’s another Wes Anderson-packed episode of Beer and a Movie! 🍻
We kick things off with 2025's corporate-espionage-filled The Phoenician Scheme, then circle back to the breezy beginnings of Wes Anderson’s career with Bottle Rocket. Returning guest Harold Ramos joins us again to unpack both films with his signature wit and thoughtful insight.
For The Phoenician Scheme, we cracked open Rainbow Sherbet from Prairie Artisan Ales — tart, colorful, and a little chaotic — while Harold sipped on Community’s Hop’d Water, a crisp and hoppy non-alcoholic option. Did it still bring the flavor?
For Bottle Rocket, we make our first-ever trip to Geary Brewing Co. and tried their Maine Summer Ale — crisp and classic, is it a perfect match for Anderson’s sun-soaked debut.
Crack a cold one and press play — this one’s gets deep into Anderson's career.

This week, we’re thrilled to welcome guest comedian Andy Gomez for his very first appearance—so buckle up for laughs, liquids, and bromantic explorations.
To match the whimsical vibe of Friendship, we crack open a THC seltzer from Trail Magic—because that’s exactly the kind of movie it is. While Texas holds its breath, waiting for the governor to sign off (or veto) on keeping or outlawing these fizzy, buzz-worthy drinks, we’re already in toast mode.
Next up, it’s time for classic buddy-comedy gold with I Love You, Man. To fuel our “I love you, bro” affirmations, we pop open a fresh pour from Equal Parts Brewing—a brew as balanced and dependable as a true friendship.
Tune in for a double feature that proves: whether it’s surreal comedy or heartfelt bromance, Beer and a Movie has got your perfect pairing.

On this week’s Beer and a Movie, the stakes are high, the hops are higher, and Tom Cruise is still running. We're joined by special guest Adam Beam for an explosive deep dive into Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning, followed by a throwback to the tighty-whitey chaos of Risky Business. 🕶️🔥
To fuel the mission, we hit our 17th (!) visit to St. Arnold Brewing Co.—clearly we’ve joined a cult—and team up with Lone Pint Brewery for a beer lineup that’s bold enough to take on The Entity. 🍺💣
We unpack Cruise’s legendary stunts, debate whether Risky Business is 80s sleaze or a suburban satire masterpiece, and ask: How much backstory is required for a 'final' film?
This one’s got spies, suds, and sweaty existentialism—aka your perfect mission briefing.
🎧 Tune in now—before this episode self-destructs in 5… 4… 3…

This week, we dive deep into the emotionally intense and stylistically bold world of Trey Edward Shults, discussing his brand-new release Hurry Up Tomorrow and his powerful debut feature, Krisha.
From fractured families to spiraling tension, Shults knows how to shake an audience—and we brought in a guest who knows how to analyze the media behind the mayhem: Ethan Thompson (author, professor, and all-around pop culture brainiac) joins us for this rich double feature.
To pair with the emotional highs and lows, we sipped on:
🍺 Big Country Organic Beer's Hazy IPA – juicy and bold, just like Shults’ visual style
🍺 Golden Age Pilsner from Family Business Beer Co. – a crisp, classic lager perfect for reflecting on the ghosts of Thanksgivings past
Whether you’re a longtime Shults fan or just now catching the wave, this episode is packed with insights, tangents, and yes... a few beer-fueled theories.

We’re heading deep into horror-comedy territory with two blood-soaked, laugh-out-loud films: Clown in a Cornfield and the cult classic that started it all, Tucker and Dale vs. Evil — both from director Eli Craig.
Joining us is the incomparable Cris Olvera — Corpus Christi-based artist, designer, horror expert, and one of our favorite conversationalists. Cris brings sharp insights and a lot of laughs as we dig into how these films balance gore, satire, and surprisingly tender moments.
And of course, we had beers in hand:
🍺 Live Oak Brewing’s Hefeweizen – a smooth, classic wheat beer that never disappoints
🍺 Oskar Blues Dale’s All American IPA – bold, hoppy, and totally on brand for this week’s double feature
Listen now wherever you get your podcasts — and bring a beer. You’re gonna need it.

This week on Beer and a Movie, we paddle into cinematic surf culture with two wave-riding flicks: the new Nicolas Cage psychological thriller The Surfer and Bruce Brown's iconic 1966 documentary The Endless Summer.
Though they couldn't be more different in tone, these two films make an unexpectedly perfect pairing. The Surfer is a moody, mind-bending plunge into the dark side of beach life, while The Endless Summer rides smooth on a sun-soaked breeze, celebrating the joy and freedom of chasing waves around the world. Together, they show both the mythology and the madness that the ocean can inspire.
To keep the vibe frosty, we visited Sanchez Family Brewery for the first time and cracked open two of their clean, crushable pilsners—perfect for post-surf (or post-movie) refreshment.
If you like beachy chaos, classic vibes, cold beer, and hot takes, this episode’s your jam. Grab your board and your pint glass. 🌊🍺

We start with the heat of the moment—Ryan Coogler's latest film Sinners, already generating serious buzz—and then rewind to where it all began with his deeply affecting debut, Fruitvale Station. Special guest Josh Deleon joins us for the ride, adding sharp takes and good company.
Both films showcase the dynamic power of Michael B. Jordan, and we explore how Coogler's voice has evolved from intimate storytelling to epic, emotionally charged cinema.
We’re pairing these films with two bold brews: the citrus punch of Austin Beerworks's Bloodwork Orange IPA and our first taste of Surly Brewing, courtesy of their tropical Mango Axe Man.
Great films, great beer—what more do you need?
We start with whiskey and it goes Cage-style bonkers from there. We celebrate #350 by diving Back Into the Cage with OG co-host Carlos Cooper along for the ride.
As usual, it’s a triple feature of Nicolas Cage greatness:
🎬 Peggy Sue Got Married
🎬 The Rock
🎬 Matchstick Men
And the beers? They're after the whiskey and it's all absolutely out of control:
🥃 The Nic Cage-inspired Buffalo Trace El Cerrito Liquor Store Pick custom Trace/Off
🍺 2015 Rare Bourbon County Brand Stout
🍺 Ghost in the Machine and Holy Ghost from Parish Brewing
🍺 Power Bomb DIPA from SpindleTap Brewing
It’s fun, it’s chaotic, it’s MEGA-SIZED.

We’re strapping on our boots and diving into the chaos of combat with two heavy-hitters: The gritty new war flick Warfare, co-directed by the legendary Alex Garland, and the modern classic Saving Private Ryan—because you can't talk war films without this Spielberg tour de force.
For the brews?
🍺 Prairie Artisan Ales 'Merica Y’all – unapologetically loud.
🍺 (512) Brewing (512) Pils – smooth, reliable, and ready for deployment.
Joining us in the trenches: comedian Connor Stewart—bringing laughs, hot takes, and emotional trauma.
This week, we raise a glass to one of the greats—Gene Hackman. From quiet paranoia to chaotic patriarch, we revisit two standout performances: The Conversation (1974) and The Royal Tenenbaums. It’s a Hackman double feature anchored by two of our favorite directors—Francis Ford Coppola and Wes Anderson.
Returning guest Adam Beam joins us for the cinematic breakdowns and drops a major hot take you won’t see coming. Let’s just say, things get... spirited.
We’re sipping on a good, old-fashioned Sam Adams Boston Lager as we continue our mission to visit iconic craft beer brands, and also cracking open a German IPA (?!) from Alstadt Brewery.
Classic films. Bold beers. And a little bit of controversy. What more could you want?
We crack open some cold ones and dive into the world of mystical unicorns, dark fairytales, and bizarre fantasy storytelling. First up, we take on A24’s wild new entry, Death of a Unicorn—a movie that dares to mix corporate greed, magical creatures, and absurdist humor. Then, we rewind to Ridley Scott’s 1985 classic, Legend, where Tom Cruise battles Tim Curry’s devilish Darkness in a visually stunning, synth-laden adventure.
This episode also marks the beginning of our quest to tick off some of the Great American Craft Beers oversights that deserve a spot on the Mt. Rushmore of Craft Beer. Which legendary brew makes the cut? And does it pair well with unicorn-related chaos?
Grab a drink and join us as we break it all down—cheers! 🍻🎬
Not one! Not TWO! But THREE DE NIROS! He goes double duty on our first Barry Levinson film, The Alto Knights, and then straight into his larger-than-life depiction of Capone in De Palma's The Untouchables (1987). We go gangsta gangsta this week with guest Anthony Zoccolillo and two great beers from Tivoli Brewing (we think) and Turning Point Beer.
After Hours, our weekly bonus conversation, keeps the gangsta train rolling with the best gangster films of all time at patreon.com/beerandamoviepodast!
Lies, Lies, and Lies! It's a Soderbergh Double Feature with his most recent and very first: Black Bag paired with the 90s-independent-film-launching Sex, Lies and Videotape. So many thematic similarities to chew on! Adam Beam is back to clear up some lies told about him during the BaaMies while we enjoy two black (bag) beers from 903 Brewing and Real Ale Brewing.

Is there a film more anticipated than Bong Joon-ho's follow-up to Parasite? We dive into Mickey 17 (starring 18 Robert Pattinsons) pairing it with Harold Ramos's Multiplicity (1996, starring 4 Michael Keatons). There's a little disagreement over Director Bong's follow-up and 3 great beers (2 of them alcohol-free).
Beers by Cycle Brewing, Deschutes Brewery (N/A), and Brooklyn Brewery (N/A).
It's here! The 2025 BaaMies with our top five films of 2024, biggest surprises, disappointments, and the worst film of the year. Over the course of the last year, we reviewed over 50 film releases from 2024 and 120 beers, and it all comes down to THIS!
Osgood Perkins's Longlegs divided us so we're eager to look at his follow-up, The Monkey. Josh Deleon sits down with us to dig into Stephen King's newest film adaptation pairing it with King's very first, Brian De Palma's Carrie. Religion, comedy, blooming sexuality and so much more on this week's King Adaptation Double Feature.
Beer by Martin House Brewing and our very first show cider by Austin Ciderworks.
We're 9 out of 10 in reviewing this year's Oscar nominees after diving into Nickel Boys, a film that has us discussing its form primarily with a very unique POV camera style. Pairing it with Sing Sing, a film that just missed that Best Picture nomination list. Adam Beam joins us and one of the two films is near or at the top of his best-of-2024 list. Hear it ALL right here.
Beers by New Belgium Brewing and Blue Owl Brewing.
Companion is a movie best-watched with ZERO spoilers, so tread lightly because we spoil the heck out of it. Was [redacted] the best [redacted] to think about [redacted]? We [redacted]. Then we go back in time for John Hughes's 'make-a-girl-male-wish-fulfilment' romp, Weird Science. How does this thing hold up? We can't talk about it without wearing our jeans!
Beers by False Idol Brewing and 903 Brewers.
We finally sink our teeth into Oscar-frontrunner The Brutalist with the help of new guest, filmmaker Cris Olvera. By pairing it with The Childhood of a Leader, we've now tackled all of Brady Corbet's feature films (including Vox Lux back in episode 88). How did we feel about the 3.5 hour epic Brutalist? At least none of us throw a tantrum.
Beers by Odell Brewing and Dogfish Head Brewing.

We've NEVER done an Almodóvar film so let's do two! 2024's recent The Room Next Door is his first English language film starring two of David's very favorite actresses, and we pair it with Talk to Her. From exquisite color palettes to the frank and honest conversations that occur in both, this episode gets deep.
Beers by Anchorage Brewing Company and Damm S. A.
That's no wolfman! That's just guest Josh Deleon back to talk horror with Blumhouse's new Wolf Man. All bark, no bite? We let you know and then skip across the pond for the werewolf classic, An American Werewolf in London. Things get hairy as we work avoid the full moon this go 'round.
Beers by Eppig Brewing and Martin House Brewing Co.
A lapsed Catholic, a lapsed Baptist, and a poet walk into a bar. The punchline: "Catholics are canceling us after this episode." Fear not, my children, since poet Tom Murphy joins us for the first time to discuss award-buzzy Conclave and The Two Popes (2019), and we do our best to keep the blasphemy to the bare minimum.
Beers by Brasserie de Chimay (Trappist beer made in a Catholic monastery...come on!!) and Founders Brewing.

How many roads must Dylan walk down before anyone figures him out? We brave the hard rain with two films: Mangold's new A Complete Unknown and Haynes's I'm Not There. One's a distillation; the other a deconstruction. Musician, filmmaker, and music festival organizer Jimmy Willden is the perfect hurricane to help us make sense of what's blowin' in the wind.
A couple of beers from Meanwhile Brewing and Martin House Brewing Co. are there to get us tangled up in booze.
Happy N(osferat)ew Year! Our first episode of the new year brings new Eggers (!!!) so guest Josh Deleon is here to ecstatically discuss Nosferatu. We pair it up with 2000's Shadow of the Vampire for a little double Defoe and double Noz! Guys, it's the best episode of 2025 (so far).
Beers by Martin House Brewing and 903 Brewing.
"The Most Dangerous Film Shoot of All Time" is the tagline for Roar, the 1981 can't-believe-they-made-this passion project filled with jungle cats, untrained actors, and hospitalizations. The natural pairing with Mufasa: The Lion King. Adam Beam returns to mix it up with beers from Oddwood Brewing and another Goose Island Bourbon County.
Is one reason for the season new Christmas films? We tackle two new holiday streamers with big stars and big directors: Ben Stiller's Nutcrackers (Hulu) and Jack Black's Dear Santa (Paramount+). And....oof...this doesn't go well. Guest Tyler Chrobocinski is back to see if we can find a little holiday cheer up in here.
Beers by Meanwhile Brewing and Independence Brewing.
Y2K! Dumb, satisfying fun or an apocalyptic mess? Kyle Mooney's directorial debut is paired with an out-of-nowhere treat: Brigsby Bear (2017). This Mooney-starring film turns out to be the best surprise of the week. Comedian Blake Trevino stops in to chop it up, and we drink two great beers from Sierra Nevada and Jester King.

Emilia Pérez is getting all the buzz so we take a look at this musical/crime/romantic/comedy. That's a lot of genres to put into one flick...do they pull it off? Add to that another 2024 catch-up film, I Saw the TV Glow, and you have quite the interesting pairing.
Comedian Connor Stewart joins the fun with two beers from Four Corners Brewing and Turning Point Beer.
Musical theater/film adaptation expert Adam Beam joins BaaM this week to discuss the instantly-POPULAR film version of the smash hit Broadway show Wicked. Does it DEFY GRAVITY or make us turn green?

All Horror October begins exactly where it should: The Evil Horr-igins of Cinema. We travel back to the 20s to discuss two landmark, ‘birth of horror’ films: The Cabinet of Caligari (Germany, 1920) and Häxan (Sweden, 1922).

Plus, we make our first visit to The Veil and the results are pretty outstanding.
Villeneuve and Lynch together at last! We have the PERFECT beer pairing for Villeneuve's Dune: Part Two and the PERFECT movie to go along with it: Lynch's '84 Dune. Comedian and podcaster Roland Alaniz is back with a viewing revelation that shocks the guys into silence. We quickly recover and close the BaaM Dune-on-Film wormhole.

Well, we did it. After all the Bob Marley: One Love trash-talking, we sat down with it and a perfect pairing: Jimmy Cliff's 1972 Jamaican classic, The Harder They Come. Did One Love rise above our low expectations? A few Red Stripes help us figure it all out.
Frankenhooker steals the show in this week's new Franken-spired episode. Diablo Cody-scripted Lisa Frankenstein just can't beat a good old fashioned supercrack orgy.

Come with me and you'll see...a world of pure inebriation! We gorge on Wonka with a 13% chocolate stout and things go gobstoppy including the phrase "I don't like Wes Anderson." What!?! We watch Anderson's 4 Netflix short films and get pretty deep into Anderson's whole thing.
Beers by 903 Brewers and Spoetzl Brewery.
Joe's daughter Savannah, a self-professed 'Miyazakistan,' joins us to review two Japanese-produced films that are sitting at the top of the box office: The Boy and the Heron and Godzilla Minus One.

One of us calls one of this week's home invasion horror films 'a masterpiece'. All Horror October continues with Hush (2016) and Inside (2007), hand selected by guest and home invasion expert, Josh Deleon. Was Joe right to give so many warnings about the gore-level of Inside? Can David handle a look back at one of his first college craft beers? Does Josh need to pick different movies to watch and recommend?
It's this year's All Horror October batch of the most recent horror new releases with two franchises, Saw X and Exorcist: Believer, along with the PG-13-rated, Hindu lore creature-feature, It Lives Inside. Kailey Diaz joins us and, along with three beers, we balance horror and high-ABV humor well into the 2nd hour of this mega-episode. And most importantly, we really don't see sucked-out-eyeball to eyeball on any of the films.
Beers by Drekker Brewing and Martin House Brewing.
All Horror October IV begins with our Italian Horror Maestro Double Feature: Mario Bava's Bay of Blood (1971) and Dario Argento's Suspiria (1977) with guest Ronee Martinez. Ronee, wearing an Argento T-shirt and a taxidermied bat, brings her expertise as the operator of The Official Corpus Christi Horror Club.
We kick things off in bloody style with two great films and beers by 3 Nations Brewing and Peroni, the biggest beer in Italy.
“Paul Dano is a god d@mned American treasure,” says this week’s guest Anthony Zoccolillo. We try to make a little Dumb Money, the new Dano film about the notorious 2021 GameStop stock short controversy, and explain why we paired it with Fincher’s The Social Network? We learn something new about David, Joe still hates The Ring, and Anthony {perfectly?} describes the taste profile of farmhouse ales.
Beers by Lone Pint Brewery, Magnolia, TX, and True Anomaly Brewing Company, Houston, TX.
Dr. Horror, Kyle Ferguson, is BACK to discuss Kenneth Branaugh's latest, A Haunting in Venice, along with the 1973 Roeg CLASSIC, Don't Look Now! How did we feel about this latest spook-filled Poirot whodunnit? Did Don't Look Now's reputation live up to this first-time-viewing experience for Kyle and Joe?
We save Don't Look Up's spoiler ending until the very end so buckle up, and enjoy this blood-drenched episode of BaaM!
David gets excited to review one of his favorite working directors, Kelly Reichardt's, new film, Showing Up. This quiet character set in the world of Oregon art allows us to also take a look at Tim Burton's Big Eyes (2014). Returning guest, Pamela Brouillard, brings the high intellectual takes as usual, but then shocks us repeatedly with some great drops.
Beers by Untitled Art (of course)!
See Bottoms! That's our take this week with first-time-guest Meredith Melville. But should you go back to Bottoms writer/director Emma Seligman's debut, Shiva Baby? That's a little more mixed. Two films from the same director...two beers from the same brewery. Garden Path Fermentation enters the BaaM 5-Timers Club after we enjoy their The Easygoing Drink and The Wet Hopped Ship!
We remember Paul Reubens by spending a little time down memory lane with Pee Wee's Big Adventure and guest Ethan Thompson. We try not to just do a quote-a-thon, but so...many...quotes. We pair it with Jacques Tati's titular character Monsieur Hulot as featured in Playtime.
BaaM Patron Beer Saint, Daniel Benavidez, provides us with two 14% barleywines from Weathered Souls Brewing's #BIL series, and they do their job.
Dave, Joe and Harold remember 70s directing legend William Friedkin by diving in to two of his early films, Sorcerer and Cruising. Both were box office and critical bombs that have grown in esteem through the decades. What are our verdicts? All while enjoying two beers from Jester King and Nebraska Brewing Company.
Dave and Joe welcome back comedian Roland Alaniz to discuss the new Will Ferrell/Jamie Foxx canine comedy, Strays, along with the 2014 Hungarian canine revenge opus, White God. Roland hosts the podcast, Sports with Roland, so we start with Sportz, a very blue gose from Turning Point Beer. The interesting sours continue in the second half with a very mochi Berliner Weisse from Parish Brewing.
David returns to meet first-time guest Tyler Chrobocinski from the band Left Handed Knives. We ooze into a Seth Rogen co-writer/producer/voice actor double feature: TMNT: Mutant Mayhem and Sausage Party. We explore the beer named after Left Handed Knives (or was that the other way around?) from B&J's Brewpub out of Corpus Christi, TX. Films are accompanied by Ingenious Brewing and 903 Brewing.
We start a new sporadic series this week: "Our Favorite Movies." Guests Pam Brouillard and Kailey Diaz return armed, each with one of their favorite movies: One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest and Pan's Labyrinth, respectively. We crack one from Turning Point Beer, Ingenious Brewing, and De Dolle Brouwers to get us through a very fun, sometimes deep, conversation about...our favorite movies.
Joe's kids, Hunter and Savannah, join him to discuss Barbenheimer weekend's big releases: Oppenheimer and Barbie.
We choose to accept the mission: Mission Impossible: Dead Reckoning (Part One) along with a McQuarrie connection, Usual Suspects. Does the newest Tom Cruise production live up to the hype? How does Usual Suspects hold up after all these years?
Beers by Back Pew Brewing, Evil Twin Brewing and Prairie Artisan Ales
Our second 'Raunch-com' in three weeks, we go on a Joy Ride with guest Chef Harold Ramos. We move into early Justin Lin with 2002 Sundance breakout Better Luck Tomorrow. Harold brings two Weldwerks Brewing Medianoche variants and we go nuts over the thick, barrel-aged Imperial Stout elixir.
Dave, Joe and special guest, Sean McLain, don their fedoras and strap on their whips to travel deep into the Indiana Jones franchise. From Raiders to The Temple to the 'Last' Crusade to Crystal Skulls and into the new Dial of Destiny we snake through each film and leave no insect-covered stone uncovered. Our favorite (and least favorite) prologues, love interests, villains, action sequences, and so much more.
With the new romcom No Hard Feelings, billed as a raunchy laughfest, hitting screens, we took it as a perfect opportunity for a bit of ribaldry on the podcast this week. To pair with that, we go back to what is widely regarded as one of the greatest romcoms of all time, Billy Wilder's 1960 classic, The Apartment. Returning guest Kailey Diaz brings her always-on-point wit to the table as well as a very thoughtful present for Joe, and there is, as always, plenty of beer to go around. Join us for some summertime cinematic diversions this week!
This week, Joe and Dave make contact with intelligent lifeforms Roland and Sarah to discuss two alien arrival films with postmodern comedy elements. First up is Wes Anderson's latest, Asteroid City, a play within a telecast within a film that features one of the most expansive ensemble casts we've seen in some time. That's followed by another film with an overflowing ensemble, the oft-derided Mars Attacks from Tim Burton, which appeared during what was otherwise widely regarded as a great run of films in the 90s. With beer from two new-to-us breweries - one being the official brewery of Mars! - this is an (inter)stellar episode that you won't want to miss!
We dive into some mindbending animation this week when we pair the second installment of Lord and Miller's Spider-Verse series with Fantastic Planet, an underground animated classic from 1973. New guest Connor Stewart joins Joe and Dave as they discuss some of the finer points of animated superheroes and sci-fi - and drink some beers from friends of the pod - this week!
It's been 50 episodes since we last stepped into the "cage," so we find ourselves there again with a selection of three films with Nicolas Cage in lead performances. Joe's pick is Drive Angry, a 2011 supernatural actioner riding the wave of 3D excitement in the post-Avatar moment in which it arrived. Dave selects Bringing Out the Dead, a relatively underperforming Scorsese vehicle that had more critical love than it did financial returns. And, of course, Carlos is back for the fun with his selection of Cage's Oscar-winning turn as a hopelessly alcoholic writer in Leaving Las Vegas. There are dark themes to explore but still a lot of fun to be had and beer to be drank on this 2023 Cage Match episode!
When our returning guest Pam Brouillard told us that she would be bringing back some beers from her roadtrip to Wisconsin, we thought it would be the perfect opportunity to visit some films with Midwestern settings. Pam's instinct to go the comedy route yielded one luminary of the recent past, 2011's Bridesmaids which brought SNL's Kristen Wiig and Maya Rudolph to feature film success, and an even earlier film that had come together on the strength of SNLroots, 1980's The Blues Brothers. Two comedy classics and four(!) Wisconsin beers to help us sort them out. This is an episode you won't want to miss!
With Coronas in hand, we visit the Toretto Family BBQ once again to check in on what our favorite group of superhuman street racing mercenaries are up to in (the beginning of?) what is purportedly their final bow. Does Diesel finally shift to that higher gear as a thespian? Do the stunt casting cameos hit the intended sweet spots? Do cars make it back into space? We'll reveal all this and more, as well as look back at a classic car film with a climactic drag race, in this week's episode!
For the first time in recent memory, a Finnish action film showed up at our local multiplex, and we just had to find out what might warrant such a wide release. Learning that it was a Nazi revenge film set late in WWII, we felt that the best cinematic pairing would be Inglourious Basterds, and boy were we happy with that selection once we had actually seen them both. With beers from Germany (one of which might rank as a certain kind of war crime) on deck to stoke the conversation and returning guest Kailey joining in with her razor-sharp wit, this is one investigation of WWII on film and beer that you won't want to miss (especially if you are a guy over the age of 35).
We go full-on Swayze (how did we not drink a hazy?) this week on BaaM. Our Discord crew (get in there if you're not already!) picked Point Break for us to watch, and we decided to double down, or "double deuce" if you will, by pairing it with Road House. Anthony Z joins us for this discussion of two late 20th century action classics(?), and we enjoy some new-to-us beers from Martin House and Real Ale, two breweries that are BaaM staples. Be ready to get wet and wild on this week's episode!
It's all about horror in families this week on BaaM as we take on the newest entry the Evil Dead franchise, Evil Dead Rise, the first to really focus on how Deadites can wreak havoc within a family unit. Following that, we take on a pre-Evil Dead classic of the demonic possession subgenre, The Exorcist, a film with a storied past that helped to raise the profile of horror in the 1970s. It's an episode filled with blood, vomit, and plenty of beer!
With the arrival of Beau Is Afraid, Ari Aster's latest epic dark comedy, Dave and Joe felt they needed to have an Aster skeptic in the third seat to help bring some balance to the proceedings. Welcoming back returning guest Kyle Ferguson, the conversation is predictably lively, spilling over to our second film, Paul Thomas Anderson's The Master, a film that also has a troubled person played by Joaquin Phoenix at its center. With some pretty nice thematic beer pairings from Stone and Hong Kong's Young Master Brewery, this is a BaaM episode that is sure to delight.
We sink our teeth back into the tried-and-true BaaM format this week, even bringing back former regular host, Carlos Cooper, to review the latest release featuring our patron saint, Nicolas Cage. With him portraying Dracula in Renfield, we chose to pair it with Coppola's cinematic take on the character from 1992, and Joe comes in clutch with outstanding thematic beer pairings. Don't f*ck with the formula, amirite?
This week on Vin et Cinéma, we reach the conclusion of our quest to cover all of the 10 movies in the Sight and Sound 2022 Critics' Poll with our review of Chantal Akerman's Jeanne Dielman on this week's episode. Along with our returning guest, Pam Brouillard, we also take on Agnes Varda's French New Wave classic, Cléo from 5 to 7.
We take on Apple TV's latest feature film, Tetris, which dramatizes the surprising yet telling story of how one of the most popular video games of all time came from out of the waning moments of the Soviet Union to become the global phenomenon that it is now. The timing is perfect for us to do one more film on the 2022 Sight and Sound list, Man with a Movie Camera, an experimental documentary that despite receiving mixed reviews upon its release in 1928 has come to be seen as a trailblazing and foundational piece of filmmaking in the 95 years since its arrival. It's cinematic creativity meets communism this week on Beer and a Movie!
After numerous delays, the 4th chapter of the John Wick series has finally arrived on the screens of our multiplexes, and we offer our thoughts on this latest installment and the franchise overall. Our second film is the one currently sitting in the 10th spot of the 2022 Sight & Sound poll, the classical Hollywood musical, Singin' in the Rain. It's a week of glorious cinematography, rain-drenched sets, stunning choreography, and, of course, some (hopefully) delicious beers, this week on Beer and a Movie!
This week finds us delving back into the singularly visionary mind of David Lynch as we approach Mulholland Drive, a film that wasn't initially intended to be a film but that nonetheless is now ranked as the 8th best of all time in the 2022 Sight & Sound poll, and we pair it with an earlier film that also had its origins in televisual storytelling. Playing with tropes of soap opera, police procedurals, and horror, these aren't always the easiest for casual viewers to digest, but your intrepid hosts - along with returning guest Harold Ramos - do their best to parse through these thorny and often cryptic films tinged with sly humor and indelible sights and sounds.
Claire Denis had wowed us back in episode 45 when we reviewed her then-new-release, High Life, but it has taken our Sight & Sound catch-up journey to get us back to the writer/director's unique cinematic perspectives. To pair with her 1999 film Beau Travail(#7 on the 2022 poll), we look at one(!) of her two features from 2022, Both Sides of the Blade, starring BaaM faves Juliette Binoche (High Life) and Vincent Lindon (Titane) as well as Gregoire Colin, who also appears in Beau Travail. Its all about grown-up drama and cinematic style this week on BaaM, but you may want to put on your dancing shoes, just to be safe.
With the streaming arrival of 2022 critical favorite EO, we took the opportunity to look at this rather unorthodox Polish film which provides glimpses of the range of human behavior, especially as pertains to treatment of animals, through the eyes of the titular donkey at its center. As our companion film, we review our fifth overall from the top ten of the 2022 Sight and Sound critics poll, Yasujiro Ozu's Tokyo Storyfrom 1953, a classic of Japanese cinema that offers a methodical and patient peek at a dispersed family, tapping into some very relatable themes of generational drift and disconnect. Helping Dave and Joe wade through all this are returning guest Kyle Ferguson, our first proper Czech beer (sorry, Poland!), and a return visit to Hitachino Nest to see if can overcome the spoiled offering we had tried waaaaaay back in episode 5. It's a packed episode. Do it up!
Forget Wong Kar-Wai's whip pans, this episode may cause some whiplash with its shifting between its A- and B-pictures. First up is the horror comedy of Cocaine Bear, currently burning up the box office during a relative lull in new releases. We follow it with our first review in a series that has us playing catch-up with the top ten films of the newest iteration of the Sight & Sound critics' list that we had not already addressed on past episodes. That has us looking at Wong's In the Mood for Love, a romantic drama that has impressed critics and (niche) audiences alike since its initial arrival in the year 2000 (yes, read that in LaBamba's voice). All this with beers from a new-to-us brewery, Family Business Brewing, and our returning guest, Anthony Zoccolillo. Cheers!
It's that time of year again! Your hosts have done their level best to take in as many films released in 2022 as they possibly could and to look back at the beers they had reviewed in that year as well. They are now ready to share their personal preferences and other assorted thoughts on the year, along with some fun diversions. It's a jam-packed episode with none other than BaaM's former producer/host Carlos returning for all the fun!
In our final episode before our 2022 year end wrap-up, The BaaMies, we look at two films that are in the mix for Academy Awards. The (anti-)war film All Quiet on the Western Fronthas 9 nods, mostly focused on more technical aspects of filmmaking, but also including Best Picture - an award that the 1930 adaptation of the same novel had received long ago. The harder to classify Bardo, from Alejandro Iñárritu, is in the mix for Best Cinematography. With returning guest Josh Deleon we offer our thoughts on these films that might still be able to sneak onto our end of the year lists.
Sarah Polley's latest effort, Women Talking, is currently in limited release as a nominee for Best Picture and Best Adapted Screenplay. BaaM invited a crackerjack panel of returning guests - Emily Suggs (Episode 205) and Kailey Diaz (Episodes 216 and 228) - along with one new guest, psychologist Dr. Pam Brouillard, to discuss it over, you guessed it, some beer. As a second film, we look at She Said, a dramatization of the investigative reporting that led to the downfall of Harvey Weinstein, that is now streaming on Peacock.
We go on holiday this week with two films with resorts as their settings. Brandon Cronenberg's latest, Infinity Pool, is a speculative horror trip that charts the experience of a struggling writer who stumbles into a sort of tourism that goes beyond any we've ever before seen on screen. Aftersun is the debut feature of Charlotte Wells, offering a semi-autobiographical look at a moment in a father-daughter relationship that takes on more gravity as the daughter looks back at it many years in the future. Lots to discuss and some fine beers to sip, so get on your cabana wear and settle in with us by the pool, won't you?
We go audacious and then reserved with our pairing of films this week. First up, we take on the Tollywood (a nickname for the Telugu language film industry) blockbuster, RRR, an historical epic packed with action, song, dance, and romance that is getting lots of attention even outside its home market. Our second film is a much quieter police procedural-cum-psychological drama, Park Chinook's Decision to Leave. Both films have been fixtures on many 2022 year end lists. Listen in this week, as we discuss these films and sip some beers with returning guest Jimmy Willden!
We're in full on awards season catch-up mode with this week's episode. While Tàr and The Banshees of Inisherin were both released in the fall, neither were readily available to us at the time. Now that both are available on streaming platforms and have begun receiving copious accolades, we felt the need to seriously engage. Join in and hear what we think of these performance-driven films while we sip a pair of stouts with very different origins.
It's an almost-but-not-quite-human episode this week when we take on the recent horror satire hit M3gan, about a robot doll going rogue and running amuck when its creator chooses to test it on her recently orphaned niece. For our film pairing, we also look at Steven Spielberg's A.I. Artificial Intelligence, a film project inherited from Stanley Kubrick and which has at its center another robot doll whose primary objective gets complicated by human being humans. With remote guest Kyle Ferguson rejoining us for these conversations, we sip on 4 different beers from breweries in Texas and California. Cheers!
This week, we invite back returning guest Kailey Diaz to help us take on two films from Darren Aronofsky, a director who regularly plunges into stories about characters who struggle with addiction and obsession. His latest, The Whale, generated controversy even before its release for its casting and over concerns that it would be fatphobic. In wide release now, it is actually generating a lot of Oscar buzz for the controversially cast actor, Brendan Fraser, for whom this is being seen as a comeback moment akin to one that Aronofsky had earlier created with Mickey Rourke in the 2008 film, The Wrestler. With significant thematic overlap between these films, we go deep into discussing their characters' motivations and the successes (and failures) of the performances that bring them to life on the screen. We also drink some hazy IPAs for good measure.
We pair two holiday releases this week, starting with our discussion of Damian Chazelle's audacious new epic meditation on stardom, excess, and the early days of Hollywood, Babylon. For our second half, our friend Sean McLain joins us to share our critical perspectives on Rian Johnson's Glass Onion, the second installment in his burgeoning murder mystery franchise. We warm up for the convos with two selection from Spoetzl Brewery's bonfire brewskis mixed 6-pack.
With returning guest and former co-host Ethan Thompson back in the mix, it's a double new release episode this week on Beer and a Movie. We tackle films by two Hollywood directors with similarly major name recognition but who currently have projects of very different budget and scale. First up is James Cameron's long-gestating sequel to his long-gestating blockbuster Avatar, which has started off well enough at the box office but needs significant staying power to justify its costs. The second film is the comparatively more modest semi-autobiographical film from Steven Spielberg, The Fabelmans, which has been getting love from critics but not necessarily stoking the interest of general moviegoers.
Joe and Dave invite back one of their favorite guests, Josh Deleon, to look at not one, but two(!), new cinematic adaptations of The Adventures of Pinocchio. A time-honored tale with at least a dozen film versions prior, are these two new entries essential viewing or are they titles you might as well skip in favor of something more original? Listen in as we taste a couple brews and discuss the merits of adaptation, this week!
It may be the most wonderful time of the year, but that doesn't necessarily mean that we all want to celebrate. There are times when all the Yuletide joy calls for some balance in the form of over-the-top action and silly catchphrases. For this episode, Joe and Dave are joined by first-time guest, Jim Fleury, to discuss the potential new subversive Christmas classic Violent Night along with a film whose controversial Christmas affiliation has become something of a dominant meme. Should there be space for these films in one's holiday viewing schedule? Listen to what we think, this week!
What better to fill the screens of our multiplexes on Thanksgiving weekend than a teenage cannibal love story? Well, even if it isn't necessarily feel good family fare, Bones and All has an intriguing enough concept that we felt it necessary to take a look and report back. We've paired it with the prior Guadagnino/Chalamet effort, Call Me by Your Name, and brought in guest filmmaker/musician/multitalent Jimmy Willden to help us make sense of it all.
We head to the kitchen this week to take on two films that take the world of fine dining as their settings. Our first course is a new release, The Menu, starring Ralph Fiennes as a legendary chef known for creating multi-course meals that tell stories for his elite clientele. The second is Peter Greenaway's notoriously decadent and stylized The Cook, The Thief, His Wife, and Her Lover, a film that succeeded with audiences in its initial release despite (because of?) the threat of an X-rating. Joining us for this cinematic feast is returning BaaM guest, Harold Ramos, an Executive Chef with a vast knowledge of food as well as movies and beer. Join us for this week's degustation, won't you?
It's dark comedy and satire this week on Beer and a Movie with us taking on Ruben Östlund's Palme d'Or winning film Triangle of Sadness and Mary Harron's now-classic adaptation of Bret Easton Ellis's American Psycho. Joe and Dave are happy to welcome back past guest, Dr. Anthony Zoccolillo, to help them make sense of these provocative mediations on human nature, class, and power, and they all gain critical support from not one, but two, hazy IPAs on deck.
When a "Weird Al" biopic was announced, the BaaM crew knew right away that we would need to cover such a monumental cinematic event. Now that it's dropped, Joe recruited a longtime film friend, Sean McLain, to join us for a fun conversation about films that play fast and loose with pop music history, including a look back at 24 Hour Partly People, a film that seeks to convey the energy of the punk/post-punk/"Manchester" scene. Somehow we make it all work despite some technical difficulties along the way.
Coming off a full month of horror, we take a gander at something at least horror-adjacent, Wendell & Wild, a new Henry Selick stop motion animated feature - his first in 13 years - written with Jordan Peele and including the voice talent of longtime Peele collaborator Keegan Michael Key. Does this reach the heights of his past efforts such as Nightmare before Christmas and Coraline? We pair it with an earlier stop motion feature from Czech legend, Jan Svankmajer, which offers his unique interpretation of Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland.
To make this all work, we bring in an original host from BaaM's past, Ethan Thompson, and we enjoy some hazy offerings, both of an alcoholic and non-alcoholic variety. There's a little something for nearly everyone in this episode!
The final episode of All Horror October 2022 finds us watching two horror films selected by longtime friend and listener Kyle Ferguson who also joins us in the discussion. First up is a low budget H.P. Lovecraft adaptation that has built up an incredible cult following over the years. This is followed by our discussion of a film that, though initially seen in festivals in 2007-2008, never truly got the theatrical distribution intended for it until just this year.
It also happens to be the occasion of our 500th beer review, for which we pick a seasonal craft ale that many of you fine listeners can likely find on the shelves of your local beer emporiums. Sip along with us!
It's a scintillating new entry in our All Horror October programming where we take on two very recent releases in the genre. Halloween Ends is the final installment of the branched trilogy from David Gordon Green/Danny McBride taking the original Halloween characters into our present day, whereas Pearl is a technicolor-drenched step back in the X universe to a fantasy (or nightmare) vision of 100 years ago when another pandemic was raging and films were becoming the stuff of dreams. With horror riding high again at the box office, we invite a return guest, Josh Deleon, to discuss the current state of horror. We also revisit one beer from our past - a rare Pumpkin beer that has pleased us before - and acquaint ourselves with a new pale ale from the west coast.
All Horror October rolls along with a double feature of cryptic-based horror films. To bring some deeper knowledge to this episode, the hosts of cryptid podcast 50 States of Terror, Anthony and Kailey Diaz, join Dave and Joe for what turns out to be a lively and fun discussion. Learn about what is and is not a cryptid, what such creatures might signify within film and popular culture, and to what extent mustache twirling is necessary for what we do every week.
Everybody enjoys some libations (there's even a couple returning brews!), so grab whatever listening device you prefer so we can get down to business.
Also, be sure to check out 50 States of Terror on all your preferred podcast platforms!!!
A BaaM tradition returns with our first episode of All Horror October, which happens to also be our final episode with regular co-host Carlos in the mix. We look at two horror films from one of Carlos's favorite filmmakers, Kevin Smith, who is not generally known for overt attempts to frighten audiences. Hear our thoughts on these unique entries in Smith's body of work as we bid a fond farewell to our great friend and collaborator.
And, yes, with Sober September in the rearview, we are back to drinking (not near) beer!
This episode finds us contemplating Don't Worry Darling, a new release that is being heavily discussed but for many of the wrong reasons, as well as a clear conceptual predecessor to that film whose cult reputation has made it a cultural touchstone.
We also close out our month of sampling non-alcoholic beers.

In this episode, we tackle a new release that originally came up on the show as part of our Most Anticipated Films of 2020 segment. Due to COVID-19, The Nowhere In, starring Annit Clark (St. Vincent) and Carrie Brownstein, became a 2021 film and we are finally getting to see it and discuss it. Due to the artistic relationship with St. Vincent and David Byrne, it made sense to look at David Byrne's 1986 film True Stories.

Yes, we have covered two of his films before, but more in the theme of an episode, whether it be about Death Row or part of our Nic Cage extravaganza.

First, we go back to his directorial debut in Signs Of Life, a very still, calm film about a German soldier stationed in Greece during World War II. Then, we discuss a film that needs no introduction, Aguirre, Wrath Of God.

It's a movie.
This week, the gang takes on another round of Netflix Originals. First up is High Flying Bird. It's like Moneyball, but with Basketball and not as good.

In this episode we talk about Border, the Swedish Troll film and one thing we DO NOT do is discriminate against Troll sex.

Listen to piinkhat say ridiculous things about classic films and hear how David and Carlos handle his nonsense.

We get into what makes these seemingly absurd movies so much fun and Ethan gives one of the all-time hottest takes we've heard on this show.
