Movie And A Beer Episode 18: Coco

Movie And A Beer ·

2020/02/29

On this episode of Movie And A Beer we talk about the animated kids film Coco and the three Mexican beers we sampled while watching. We had with us a special guest who's going to be our kids-movie expert (as he's a kid). We all loved the film as it provides a great story and visual exploration into Mexican religious and cultural traditions. The family dynamic that drives the story is one that is relatable to most kids and those chasing their dreams. We were excited to share this episode with someone

2020/02/18

On this episode of Movie And A Beer, we discuss the 2019 film Honey Boy which was written by and stars Shia LaBeouf. In the film, he plays James Lort the father to Otis Lort. We discovered that this film is a bit bitter and luckily we had a bitter beer to go with it. The semi-autobiographical story of Shia is played by two actors, the older one in recovery, Lucas Hedges, and Noah Jupe, the 12-year-old version who's story and life are shared with the audience. Otis is a childhood actor and is just

2020/02/11

In this episode of Movie And A Beer, we discuss the 2019 Oscar-nominated film Ford v Ferrari starring Matt Damon and Christian Bale and the four (2 American and 2 Italian) beers we sampled while watching it. The film is a long one, over two hours and fit for young adults and kids that are interested in cars. The film covers the struggles of the Ford Motor Company in the 1950s as they attempted to beat Ferrari in the Le Mans 24 hr. road race. The two leads develop a strong bond in the film as the

2020/02/02

In this installment of Movie And A Beer, we review the recent adaptation of Little Women which is based on the classic novel of the same name, and the beers we enjoyed with it at two different theaters here in Portland Oregon. The story takes place in America during the civil war and follows the March family as the sisters grow up and become adults. As with all families, they go through lots of traumatic experiences, and this film covers those with an interesting approach to multiple storylines and

Movie And A Beer ·

2020/01/28

In this double episode of Movie And A Beer, we discuss a couple of challenging films, Jojo Rabbit and Marriage Story, and the wonderful beers we enjoyed while watching them. First up was Jojo Rabbit, a WWII comedy/satire that follows the ups and downs of a young 10-year-old boy Jojo during the end of the war and how his view of the Jews and the Nazi regime has been wrong all along. Written and directed by Taika Waititi, the film does have some light-hearted moments, but it's not all fun and games

Movie And A Beer Episode 13: 1917

Movie And A Beer ·

2020/01/19

In this episode of Movie And A Beer, we discuss the WW1 film 1917 by Sam Mendez. A challenging and visually stunning film based in 1917 that follows a couple of soldiers as they traverse the German front line to deliver an important letter to another British military unit. We were able to enjoy this movie at the St. Johns Twin Cinemas here in Portland and enjoyed a couple of small pitchers of Ex Novo's Hoppy Pilsner. We all enjoyed this film but had some reservations about the beer.

Movie And A Beer Episode 12: Uncut Gems

Movie And A Beer ·

2020/01/08

In this episode of Movie And A Beer, we review the film Uncut Gems. This is a great film that follows a jewelry dealer in New York in 2012 as he gambles everything on that 'big win'. There are guest appearances by professional (NBA) basketball players and a few well-known Hollywood actors to support an amazing script/story and film. With the film, we enjoyed a locally produced beer, New England/Juicy IPA Orange Whip by Fortside Brewing in Vancouver WA.

2019/12/13

In this episode of Movie And A Beer, we review Parasite, a dark comedy from South Korean (foreign film with subtitles), and briefly discuss the beers we drank at Cinema 21 in Portland OR while watching it. This is one of the best movies of the past few years that we've seen. Amazing storytelling, amazing acting, plot twists, an examination of the society, and how rich and poor treat each other.

Movie And A Beer Episode 10: Zombieland 2 Doubletap

Movie And A Beer ·

2019/11/09

In this episode of Movie And A Beer, we discuss Zombieland Doubletap, a followup film to the first Zombieland that came out 10 years ago. We watched this film and enjoyed three different beers at the Livingroom Theaters in downtown Portland OR. We really enjoyed this "zom-bedy" (zombie comedy) as the writing and actors don't take themselves too seriously. They break the fourth wall occasionally and even make fun of the way they portray zombies. Overall a fun film and the beers we picked to go with

Movie And A Beer Episode 9: Joker

Movie And A Beer ·

2019/10/18

In this episode of Movie And A Beer, we discuss the Joker, a film the three of us watched at Regal Cinemas at the Fox Tower in downtown Portland OR. We also discuss each of the beers we enjoyed while screening the film. This comic book movie isn’t as much of a superhero film that is a retelling of a comic book character's origin story. It's a direct homage to the 1970's movies that portrayed society and its faults directly. Director Todd Phillips casts Joaquin Phoenix as a mentally ill professional

Movie And A Beer Episode 8: Sierra Nevada Oktoberfest

Movie And A Beer ·

2019/10/05

In this episode of Movie And A Beer, we enjoy Sierra Nevada Brewing's Oktoberfest, a collaboration beer with Bitburger Brewing in Germany. This German-style lager is 6% ABV and is more true to the style than other US brewers make. It is a wonderful full-bodied and mildly sweet beer that was brewed with Bitburger’s custom 'house' yeast and secret hop blend called Siegelhopfen. As it's the Halloween season, we picked a horror/slasher genre film to watch with this great beer. The Banana Splits came out

Movie And A Beer Episode 7: Sam Adams '76

Movie And A Beer ·

2019/09/24

On this episode of Movie and a Beer, we review Sam Adams ‘76, a new session American Pilsner by the Boston Beer Company. Labeled as 'crushable' or what we refer to as 'sessionable', this lighter (4.7% ABV) lager is a medium-bodied and refreshing take that goes well with most casual beer drinking. The movie we paired and watched with this beer was Yesterday, directed by Danny Boyle, starring Himesh Patel as Jack Malik, a struggling musician who finds himself being one of only a few people that

2019/09/23

On this episode of Movie And A Beer, we first review the Mirror Pond Pale Ale, one of the long-time favorites of the Portland beer scene. This Pale Ale has been around for over 30 years and provides a consistent and classic approach to this style of beers in the northwest. We then discuss the three movies we've watched to pair up with this beer to include: The Raid: Redemption, a great martial arts/cop flick; Blade Runner 2014, the film-noir follow up to one of the greatest sci-fi movies in the

2019/09/04

On this episode of Movie And A Beer we discuss the music-biopic Rocketman, the story of Sir Elton John's early life and career told through his career and life's experiences while enjoying a wonderful Belgian Trappist beer. Even if you aren't familiar with his music, you'll enjoy this movie as it touches on the challenges that we all face in life as we grow up, become adults, and 'face the music'. It's got some wonderful acting and signing by Taron Egerton who plays Sir Elton John and highlights the

In this episode of Movie And A Beer, we discuss the movie Pokémon Detective Pikachu and what beer we recommend to enjoy while watching this at the theater or at home. Even if you're not a fan of the Pokémon game, anime, cartoons, manga, films, or characters, we think you'll enjoy this film with your kids (7+ age) or with friends. It has a great visual appeal with amazing CG environments and Pokémon, the story follows a young adult as he deals with the disappearance of a parent and his feelings

2019/08/27

In this episode, we discuss Quentin Tarantino’s Once Upon a Time in Hollywood and review a couple of beers that you might enjoy while watching. This is a throwback to the classic Hollywood TV and movie industry covering the 50’s-60’s decades. While the film’s story centers around the career of TV and film actor Rick Dalton, who’s played by Leonardo DiCaprio and his stunt double, chauffeur and friend Cliff Booth, played by Brad Pitt, it is more of a historical drama with a fictional story than

Discussion of five movies to binge over a weekend and what beer(s) you can enjoy with them. The underlying theme of the movies selected was 'running away from something and personal loss'. While they all have their strengths in story, cinematography, acting, and direction. Each of these movies can stand alone on their own, but binging them makes it more fun. Movies discussed: The Balad of Buster Skrugs (2018) This is a great western anthology of six short stories told by the Coen
