Movie And A Beer ·

2024/05/07

On this spy-centric episode of Movie And A Beer, we enjoyed Kingsmen: The Secret Service, a 2015 film by Matthew Vaughn staring Taron Egerton as Eggsy, a London street thug that's been given an opportunity to become a part of a secret spy agency in England who's first job is to save the world from a crazy tech-billionaire played by Samuel L. Jackson. We had a great time watching this and sipping a British beer from Fullers and an ESB by local brewery Away Days (OR). Both were exceptional and went

2024/04/23

On this episode of Movie And A Beer we're brought into a fantasy realm of kingdoms, dragons, and sacrifice staring Millie Bobby Brown in Damsel. It really tries to turn the tropes and typical fantasy movie on it's head while still doing the typical things you find in a fantasy story. We found the aspects of this film interesting in how one might interpret who's actually the 'damsel' in it.Along the way we also had a couple of interesting locally produced beers to sip. A soft IPA from Kings and

Movie And A Beer Episode 136: The Blues Brothers

Movie And A Beer ·

2024/04/09

On this episode of Movie And A Beer, we go on a mission from God, one that lands Jake and Elwood behind bars, but only after saving the orphanage. The Blues Brothers is an iconic music comedy film from the early 1980's that lends itself to more of an SNL sketch than full length film, but somehow it pulls off some movie magic and has become a part of our music and comedy culture. Along for the ride we had a couple of great beers, a black lager from Moonlight Brewing (CA), and a really wonderful NE

Movie And A Beer ·

2024/03/26

On this car chasing Aussie accented episode of Movie And A Beer, we enjoyed Mad Max: Fury Road and a couple of amazing beers along the way. This is more of a soft reboot than a prequel or continuation of the Mad Max franchise. With amazing actors, action, and a compelling story, the movie brings us along for an amazing ride through the post-apocalyptic landscape of the Australian outback. We were lucky and picked a couple of great beers based on both can artwork and the relationship to the film

Movie And A Beer ·

2024/03/12

On this episode of Movie And A Beer, we explore the vast emptiness that is winter in North Dakota in the late 1980's in Fargo. Directed by Joel Coen, the story is quite simple and the outcomes were not terribly shocking, but the acting and visuals make this film a must see and classic tale that brought a spotlight to the Minnesotan culture and sensibilities. We were lucky to have a couple of beers from Drekker Brewing that's based out of Fargo ND in honor of the films namesake. They are distributed

2024/02/27

On this day Movie And A Beer watched a film that takes place in1993, where a cynical weatherman named Phil relives his life over and over and over in Groundhog Day, and while we enjoyed this comedic film staring Bill Murray and Andie MacDowell, we found that even if he relives his life a 1000 times, he just doesn't seem to get it right.There were a couple of beers that we brought along for this journey through time, a British Pale from Away Days Brewing (OR) and the other, an IPA from Breakside

2024/02/13

On this hero's journey episode of Movie And A Beer, we discuss a wonderful action/romance movie from the 1990's titled True Romance. Directed by Tony Scott with the screenplay by Quentin Tarantino and Roger Avary, this film boils down to a simple approach: if life you want to live isn't within reach, you do crazy things to make it happen. True Romance stars Christian Slater and Patricia Arquette as our hero's on a quest to find a better life. This action packed film calls for a beer(s) that don't

2024/01/30

On this sci-fi driven episode of Movie And A Beer, we watched a classic from 1997, The Fifth Element, staring Bruce Willis as Korben Dallas, a taxi drive destined to save the universe if he can convince Leeloo (Milla Jovovich) to fall in love. They combine forces with Father Vito Cornelius (Ian Holm) and zany broadcaster Ruby Rhod (Chris Tucker) to defeat Zorg (Gary Oldman) and the evil he follows.

Movie And A Beer Episode 130: Escape from New York

Movie And A Beer ·

2024/01/16

Early 1980's sci-fi films were the best for bringing the audience into a dystopian future, on this episode of Movie And A Beer we enjoyed such a classic from John Carpenter, Escape from New York. Staring Kurt Russell as Snake Plissken, a former Special Forces soldier turned criminal, he's recruited to retrieve the president in exchange for his own freedom (or have his head blown off in less than 24hrs). With such amazing action, we just had to pick a couple of strong flavored IPA's to sip along the

Movie And A Beer Episode 129: The Party

Movie And A Beer ·

2024/01/03

On this flashback episode of Movie And A Beer, we watched The Party, a 1968 film staring Peter Sellers as Hrundi V. Bakshi, an Indian actor who's been invited to attend a party that he shouldn't be at. While this is a comedy that covers topics such as cultural appropriation and the casting couch, it does provide the actors with a chance to demonstrate their site-gag and physical ability to perform funny stunts. The beers we enjoyed with this film were both 'elephant' related as there is one of

Movie And A Beer ·

2023/12/19

On this travel driven episode of Movie And A Beer, we watched and laughed at Planes, Trains and Automobiles, a John Hughes film from 1987. If you've had the opportunity to travel during the holidays, this film is for you. It follows Neal played by Steve Martin as he tries to make it from NYC to Chicago the day before Thanksgiving and is inexplicitly thrown together with Del Griffith played by John Candy as they make their way across the US in Planes, Trains, Automobiles, the back of food

Regardless if you're a student, musician, fan of music, or just a casual listener, Whiplash provides a unique insight into the world of elite musicians and what they do to achieve greatness. Miles Teller plays Andrew, an ambitious young jazz drummer who's teacher Terence Fletcher, played by academy award winner J.K. Simmons give you an ear full on it comes to keeping on tempo. We decided to have just one beer with this film, well there was a second that Blake had, but most of us just stuck to the

2023/11/21

The shag-a-delic 60's are afoot on this flashback episode of Movie And A Beer with Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery. Mike Myers brings us center stage with both lead acting roles, first as Austin Powers *(secret agent), and Dr. Evil, who's tries and fails at taking over the Earth. This great spooftastic film provides a laugh and cringe with over-the-top potty humor and some much needed insights into the misogynistic attitudes of men in the 60's. We were lucky enough to enjoy a couple of

Movie And A Beer Episode 125: The Dark Knight

Movie And A Beer ·

2023/11/07

This time around on Movie And A Beer we watch and discuss the Christopher Nolan's second of his trilogy about the DC superhero Batman titled The Dark Knight. This film is chalked full of action, suspense, drama, and the occasional bit of dialogue that makes sense. We gave homage to the film by consuming 3 different styled beers based on name and can labels while traversing the complexities that is Batman (Christian Bale) vs. the Joker (Heath Ledger).

Movie And A Beer Episode 124: The Silence of the Lambs

Movie And A Beer ·

2023/10/31

On this special Halloween edition of Movie And A Beer, we watched the classic 1990's horror/suspense movie The Silence of the Lambs. There's a LOT to unpack in this murder mystery which stars Sr. Anthony Hopkins as Hannibal Lector and Jodie Foster as an FBI agent in training Clarice Starling. The dynamic between them lights up the screen and we take a deep dive into that. We enjoyed a couple of really heavy dark beers for this episode from Bombastic Brewing (ID) and Silver City Brewing (WA). Both

On this episode of Movie And A Beer we explore "Dude-ism" and the art of kidnapping through the comic sensibilities of the Cohen brothers in The Big Lebowski. Based on real people and real events, an unbelievable turn of events leads Jeff Bridge's character down a path of violence with his bowling buddies Donny and Walter, played by John Goodman and Steve Buscemi.

2023/10/11

On this episode of Movie And A Beer, we discuss how your memories are a fickle thing, they make up who and what you are, so don't be like Jim Carrey in Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind and go erasing them. Regret is all that follows. This now cult-favorite film from 2004 was directed by Michel Gondry with a screenplay by Charlie Kaufman, it was coined as an "indy film with a big budget". We had a couple of sour beers in the fridge and both went really well with the film. A kettle sour from

Movie And A Beer Episode 121: Smokey and the Bandit

Movie And A Beer ·

2023/09/20

There are few films that impact trucker culture like this one did back in the 70's. Smokey and the Bandit helped solidify the film careers of Sally Fields and Bert Reynolds as the lead actors. We were lucky enough to have a CB-dictionary while watching and looked up some of the great lingo used in the movie. Who would have thought that a truck-load of Coors would cause such a commotion. We sampled a couple of beers that had 'travel' related names and can art from Via Brewing (OR) and Matchless

It's time for us to sit back and enjoy the crazy antics of time traveling back to the 1950's while getting hit on by your mom when she was a teenager. Not fun for some, more crazy to others. That's the premise on this episode of Movie And A Beer with the classic 1985 film, Back To The Future. Listen in as we discuss the finer points of skateboarding and alternate realities with our youth correspondent Otto. The adults in the room did have the chance to enjoy a couple of lighter beers with this

2023/08/22

On this really SPICY episode of Movie And A Beer we watched Spice World, the late 1990's extended music video/film that features the Spice Girls music group. Based in London England, Spice World follows the girls as they prepare for their debut music performance at the Royal Albert Hall. While it's shallow and dumb, it's also funny and sincere and holds up over the years. Girl Power! The beers we had during the film were both a success like the Spice Girls, as well as a failure, like the movie. One
