Movie And A Beer Episode 118: Taxidermia

Movie And A Beer ·

2023/08/09

On this challenging episode of Movie And A Beer, we watched, and experienced Taxidermia, the 2006 Hungarian surrealist comedy-drama horror film directed and co-written by György Pálfi. This will challenge you, you have been warned. It follows three generations of men from the same family and how they fit into and deal with life in Hungary from WW2 to current day. We didn't know what to expect, and boy, this was one hell of a trip. The beers we got were purchased at Johns Marketplace in SE Portland

Movie And A Beer Episode 117: Who Framed Roger Rabbit

Movie And A Beer ·

2023/07/25

We're all fans of the classic animated cartoons and characters of our youth and Who Framed Roger Rabbit brings them all together in a fun who-done-it murder mystery. This movie brings live action and animation together in a near-seamless visual story. Staring Bob Hoskins as private eye Eddie Valiant who gets tangled up in a cartoon on human instance of murder. The beers we enjoyed with this wonderous animated-cum-live-action drama were based off of the can designs. The first was a pale ale from

2023/07/12

If you're a fan of animated films, you must go see Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse and be ready to have your multi-verse socks blown off. Following the previous Spider-Man animated film, this time around Miles and Gwen both face their choices head on and realize that they don't have to follow everyone else. There are consequences to this choice, but they both are willing to take that chance. We were able to watch this at Cinema 21 here in Portland OR, and this is one of the local theaters that

Movie And A Beer Episode 115: Sisu

Movie And A Beer ·

2023/06/27

Sisu is one of the best films we've watched so far this year, Finnish or otherwise. We at Movie And A Beer believe that one can only understand what Sisu is if you experience it for yourself. So, be prepared for a WWII crazy slow story about a man, his dog, and some gold. While the film is broken down into chapters that help guide you through the story, the beers we tried were both classic and to the point, just as this film is. The first was a Pale Ale from Stoup Brewing (WA), and the second was

Movie And A Beer Episode 114: Renfield

Movie And A Beer ·

2023/06/06

Regardless if you believe in vampires or not, you have to believe in Nick Cage as Count Dracula and Nicholas Hoult his familiar, R. M. Renfield, in this wonderful horror-comedy titled Renfield. It's got plenty of site gags and excessive gore, it also provides an interesting introspective on taking responsibility for your actions and taking control of your life in trying to get out of a toxic relationship with one's boss. The beers were selected based on can art, and we enjoyed an Extra Hoppy

Movie And A Beer Episode 113: Dungeons & Dragons:...

Movie And A Beer ·

2023/05/23

There is Honor Among Thieves in some D&D games, where as others, not so much. We were lucky enough to have most of our group that we play with together to watch this movie at the LivingRoom Theater here in Portland and we all enjoyed it as much as anticipated. While the characters often bent the rules of the game in some instances, it did stay pretty close to the 'core feel' of the game. The theater had a number of different beers available on draft and while none of them were 'new' to us, we

Movie And A Beer Episode 112: The Five Obstructions

Movie And A Beer ·

2023/05/09

On this most challenging pseudo documentary cum master class on filmmaking episode of Movie And A Beer, we delve into The Five Obstructions, a Lars von Trier vehicle where he challenges his mentor Jorgen Leth to remake his classic black and white experimental film, The Perfect Human five times with different rules or obstructions. We decided to go with a similar approach to the beer we tried while watching this strange film, using IPA as the primary style, and exploring four differing

Movie And A Beer ·

2023/04/25

We've traveled back to the era of King Author and his knights of the round table to partake in the quest for the Holy Grail. Monty Python does one hell of a funny sketch, and in 1975 they outdid themselves with this wonderfully funny sketch based full length movie, The Holy Grail. There's many things that one could choose to drink while watching this wonderous masterpiece, and we believe we answered wisely. We partook in a cider from Ten Towers Cider Co. (OR), a triple dry hopped hazy Imperial IPA

Movie And A Beer Podcast Episode 110: Face/Off

Movie And A Beer ·

2023/04/11

When you think of Nick Cage and John Travolta acting like each other, it wouldn't be much of a stretch as they demonstrate in Face/Off, the 1997 John Woo production that has more sparks, explosions, and references to faces than humanly possible in one film. Although we tried to suspend all belief in reality while watching this one, it's a testament to the courage to tell a crazy story with even crazier actors. We were able to sip on a couple of IPA's during this film, participating in a little East

Movie And A Beer Podcast Episode 109: Akira

Movie And A Beer ·

2023/03/28

We traveled to the far East for this episode of Movie And A Beer to explore one of the greatest animated films of all time, one that abruptly changed what we think cartoons could be. Akira is by far one of the most influential animated films from the late 1980's to come out of Japan. It tells a simple story of greed, choice, friendship, and power through a visually stunning futuristic landscape of "Neo-Tokyo". We shared a couple of imported beers that were also fun and different than what we

Movie And A Beer Podcast Episode 108: The Guard

Movie And A Beer ·

2023/03/17

It's that time of year to celebrate all things Irish, and with this episode, we embrace the shamrock in all of us with The Guard. This is a great film to learn about Irish culture and life in a small coastal town from the perspective of a 'guarda' or 'policeman'. Starring Brendan Gleeson as the rude cop and Don Cheadle as an American FBI agent forced to work a drug smuggling case with him. We really enjoyed a couple of imported Irish beers. A Wexford nitro cream ale and a O'Hara's stout. Give the

Movie And A Beer Podcast Episode 107: Over The Top

Movie And A Beer ·

2023/03/14

On this most excellent arm wrestling 80's nostalgia driven episode, we watched Over The Top, a Silvester Stallone vehicle with more than just his 10 year old kid's life at stake. To go along with this high-stakes adventure, we enlisted the help of a couple of beers that you might find in a local truck stop. Both beers were purchased at a local grocery store, one being a Miller Lite and the other a Montucky Cold Snacks (MT). Both went exceptionally well with the poor acting and plot holes, give the

Movie And A Beer Podcast Episode 106: Point Break

Movie And A Beer ·

2023/02/28

On this surfer and bank robbing episode of Movie And A Beer, we watched Point Break, a classic 1990's action film by Kathryn Bigelow, starring Keanu Reeves as Johnny Utah, a new FBI agent on his first assignment going up against a gang of bank robbers know as the Dead Presidents. But this is no ordinary group of robbers. They're surfers -- led by the charismatic Bodhi (Patrick Swayze). We really loved this classic action flick and the beers we enjoyed with it. The two pale ales we picked were from

Movie And A Beer ·

2023/02/14

We went back to 1947 and recorded the episode using an approach like they would have back then, so it's like listening to a radio broadcast to give it more realism. The Lady from Shanghai is an Orson Welles film staring Rita Hayworth, Orson Welles, Everett Sloane, and Glenn Anders in a complex film Noir setting that takes you on a cruise from New York to San Francisco. A murder plot drives this classic with an interesting twist at the end. The beers we selected for this were being produced back

Movie And A Beer Podcast Episode 104: RRR

Movie And A Beer ·

2023/02/07

This is one of the longest films we've ever watched for the podcast, and we're glad we did so. RRR (Rise Roar Revolt) is a foreign film covering a 'fictional' meeting between Raj and Bheem, revolutionaries that were seeking different goals, but through the strength of friendship, they overcome their challenges. We picked out some IPA's to enjoy from Wayfinder Brewing (OR), Hetty Alice (OR), and Beachwood Brewing (CA). Give the episode a listen to hear about the history of the IPA and how these

2023/01/22

On this latest installment of Movie And A Beer, we bring in the Chinese Lunar New Year and celebrate with a review of the critically acclaimed House Of Flying Daggers and imbibe on a few imported lagers from China and a celebratory shot of locally produced Baijiu (Bia-Joe). The story follows political intrigue and a blossoming romance between a sheriff and a spy sent to lure him to capture. With many plot twists and turns, not to mention the many choreographed fight scenes, this is one of the best

Movie And A Beer Podcast Episode 102: Black Widow

Movie And A Beer ·

2023/01/12

On this super-hero driven episode of Movie And A Beer we watched the much delayed film Black Widow and had a couple of non-alcoholic beverages in celebration of "Dry January", a hop-water and a N/A (alcohol reduced) IPA. If you're a fan of Marvel films, then this is up your alley. It doesn't work too well as a stand-alone film with a weak plot and story. The actors did the best with what they had, so nothing against them. The drinks we tried during the movie were a hop-infused sparkling water from

On this most excellent "get the gang back together" episode of Movie And A Beer, we jam out to the stylings of Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World while sipping down a couple of great cheap beers. We follow Scott as he learns to be true to himself and others while battling the league of evil ex's and learn how easy it is to defeat someone with the power of veganism. The beers we had with this film were an American lager called Old German from Pittsburgh Brewing (PA), and the second was a locally brewed

Movie And A Beer Episode 100: The Muppet Christmas Carol

2022/12/25

On this most holiday festive episode of Movie And A Beer, we enjoyed The Muppet Christmas Carol and a couple of seasonal beers along the way. Starring Michael Caine as Ebenezer Scrooge and a supporting cast of Muppets (Kermit, Ms. Piggy, Beaker, Animal, etc), the ghosts of Christmas past, present, and future tell the Dickens tale in a kid friendly and educational way. The two beers we had along the way were a Seasonal Gnome beer from Oakshire Brewing in Eugene OR, and the other was a Holiday Spice

2022/12/13

On this holiday tale episode of Movie And A Beer, we watched a great Norwegian film Rare Exports: A Christmas Tale which brings a new light to the origin story of good old St. Nick. While this isn't a 'horror' film per-se, nor is it a kid appropriate movie, it definitely utilizes great writing, acting, and production to tell a great holiday tale about Santa and what he really is. We enjoyed a couple of seasonal beers with it, first was a hoppy red from Widmer Brothers Brewing (OR), and the other
