Movie And A Beer Episode 78: Wizards (1977)

Movie And A Beer ·

2022/03/29

On this technology vs. magic episode of Movie And A Beer, we watched the 1977 post-apocalyptic experimental animated film Wizards by Ralph Bakshi. This is an excellent story about how factions, race, and good versus evil don't always have identifiable boundaries. We enjoyed three amazingly 'magical' beers from Mutantis Brewing (OR), Away Days Brewing (OR), and Threshold Brewing and Blending (OR) while watching the film. We get into some lengthy discussion about animation and how these beers fit or

On this ocean bound episode of Movie And A Beer, we watched and discuss the 2004 Wes Anderson film, The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou and a trio of Dark Lagers that brought together the complexity and intrigue of life aboard the Belafonte. Bill Murray's character commands a small crew of collaborators and friends while sailing the seven seas on a journey of revenge against the Jaguar Shark.

Movie And A Beer Episode 75: Kung Fu Hustle

Movie And A Beer ·

2022/03/10

On this high-flying and butt-kicking episode of Movie And A Beer, we watched the 2004 classic Kung Fu Hustle. Co-written, directed, and starring Stephen Cho, this homage to the classic martial arts films from the '60s-'70s provides a great platform for the hero's journey from being the bad guy to becoming one with himself and helping those around him. Taking place in 1940's Shanghai China, the film follows a couple of wanna-be gangsters that learn that releasing one's chi is the gateway to

Movie And A Beer ·

2022/02/25

On this teenager vs. alien episode of Movie And A Beer, we discuss the great 2011 movie Attack The Block and enjoyed a couple of outstanding beers with it. Written and directed by Joe Cornish, it follows a group of south London teenagers as they defend their block against an alien invasion. Staring John Boyega and a group of new actors, the film does a great job of paying homage to the old 50's monster flicks, while staying true to the local slang and lives of the kids. We had a couple of

2022/02/09

On this episode of Movie And A Beer, we take a look at the historically based 2004 docu-drama-fictional-mason-Illuminati-treasure filled film National Treasure. We explore the meaning of every clue and how Nicholas Cage holds everyone's attention by raising one eyebrow over and over. While we laughed more than anything at it, we did enjoy a couple of amazing beers along the way. Both beers were IPA's that we had were really tasty. The first of them was from Ascendant Beer Company (OR) and the other

Movie And A Beer Episode 72: Troy

Movie And A Beer ·

2022/02/01

On this 'sandals and swords' episode of Movie And A Beer we discuss the 2004 classic movie Troy with our friend and guest host Aaron. Directed by Wolfgang Petersen and starring a wide range of famous actors to include Brad Pitt, Brendan Gleeson, Orlando Bloom, Diane Kruger, and Brian Cox among others, this old-school epic follows Homer's the Illiad of the war between the Spartans and Trojans over Queen Helen. While this three-hour movie was a bit long, drawn-out, battle-ridden, and beautifully

Movie And A Beer Episode 71: Sing 2

Movie And A Beer ·

2022/01/25

On this amazingly musical episode of Movie And A Beer we discuss the kid's karaoke film Sing 2. With 36 current and older songs throughout, Sing 2 is an animation fest full of amazing voice acting and shallow story telling. Great for young kids, and for adults that want to watch something and do some karaoke from home. We enjoyed a couple of great beers while watching this show. First was a Hazy IPA from Level Brewing, followed by a Pilsner from Heater Allen and an English Mild from Block 15. Listen

Movie And A Beer Episode 70: Resident Evil - Welcome...

Movie And A Beer ·

2022/01/18

On this episode of Movie And A Beer, we discuss the Johannes Roberts reboot of the Resident Evil franchise: Welcome to Raccoon City. This fresh reboot of the well known zombie franchise based on a video game starts at the home of pharmaceutical giant Umbrella Corp. and their genetic experiments on the townspeople of Racoon City. This horror flick has plenty of great special effects, but falls a bit flat on the writing and story. We enjoyed a couple of great beers while watching, both west coast

Movie And A Beer ·

2021/12/07

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. The film is both visually stunning and the complex characters are portrayed by a wonderful set of actors. While the film follows the trials and tribulations of young Paul Atreides, it attempts to do justice to the issues presented within the novel such as the political, social-economic, and ecological issues the indigenous people of Arrakis face.

2021/11/29

On this western themed No-Shave-November episode of Movie And A Beer, we watched the recently released western Old Henry from director Potsy Ponciroli, and staring Tim Blake Nelson. This film is a classic in the making with an outstanding cast, interesting plot/story, and a traditional approach to the story of a man running from his past. We also enjoyed a couple of amazing beers during the film which we discuss in some detail. The first was a Golden Ale from Wayfinder Brewing (OR), and the second

Movie And A Beer Episode 67: The Spine Of Night

2021/11/12

On this gory and stout driven episode of Movie And A Beer, we review the recently released rotoscoped animated feature The Spine of Night. This fantasy epic is staged in three main stories being told by the swamp queen Tzod (voiced by Lucy Lawless) and follows the bloom (blue flower of power) and it's influence on mankind. We enjoyed a couple of stouts (to celebrate international stout day) and an ESB during the film from Guinness, Belching Beaver, and Ferment Brewing. Give the episode a listen to

It follows Benny, a college-aged wanna-be DJ/Producer, and brother to Jay, an anti-vamp Hispanic gangster in LA. Benny chauffeurs around Blaire and Zoe around LA from party to party and quickly discovers he's driving around a couple of blood-sucking vampires seeking a night of fun and violence.

We explore the beginnings of the 'cabin in the woods' horror genre on this episode of Movie And A Beer with Evil Dead, the 1981 classic film by Sam Raimi and starring Bruce Campbell, Ellen Sandweiss, and Richard DeManincor. Five friends travel to a cabin in the woods, where they unknowingly release flesh-possessing demons from the Necronomicon. There were a couple of outstanding collaboration IPA's that paired up nicely with the gory scenes in the film. The first was a unique double NE IPA from

2021/10/22

On this fun and musical episode of Movie And A Beer, we watched The Muppets Haunted Mansion movie with our youth correspondent Otto. While we did gorge ourselves on candy, popcorn, and butter beer, there was some fun insights into how scary a Muppet ghost really is and how much the human actors must have had while making this musical scary experience. We also enjoyed some 'seasonal' pumpkin beers from Elysian Brewing and finished it off with an NE IPA from Rogue Brewing. All of the spiced and fall

2021/10/17

On this terror-iffic episode of Movie And A Beer, we watched the 2021 release, Candyman. This film takes place in Chicago 20+ years after the first one and continues the saga of the ghost that haunts the ghetto, seeking justice against those that wronged him (or just anyone that says his name five times). We picked out a couple of beers from the fridge to enjoy with this film, and luckily both were winners. A Pale Ale from Heater Allen (collab with Notch Brewing) and an imperial IPA from Flatland

2021/10/11

On this episode of Movie And A Beer, we review the much anticipated season 2 of the Apple TV show, Ted Lasso and briefly chat about the many beers we enjoyed while binging it. This season brings a lot of depth and insight into the main and secondary characters of the Ted Lasso show. While there are a lot of moral and ethical questions raised during some of the characters' story arc's, there was a definite theme throughout of forgiveness and acceptance of one's faults.

Movie And A Beer Episode 60: Spaceballs

2021/09/08

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. The beers we had with the film were out of the fridge and happened to be a set of "fresh hop" beers from Level Brewing here in Portland. Fresh hop refers to the beer being made with fresh, not

2021/09/01

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 enjoyed the beer provided by the staff and afterwords, chatting with Gabi, one of the great employees at
