On this Halloween special edition of Movie And A Beer, we watched the 1982 classic horror film The Thing by John Carpenter. The story follows the alien creature as it escapes from the nearby Norwegian camp and subsequently takes over the American's encampment, leading to a great cliffhanger. This movie includes some great actors, Peter Maloney, Donald Moffat, Richard Masur, Kurt Russell, and Wilford Brimley.

2022/10/11

On this block building and instruction following episode of Movie And A Beer, we enjoyed The Lego Movie with our youth correspondent Otto. We had a great time reminiscing about playing with Lego's as kids, and sometimes as adults. This family movie provides a great opportunity to teach young and old about the need to be creative, and also follow the instructions when you need to. The beers we picked for this episode were "Special" in different ways. The first was from Level Brewing (OR) and had

On this epic musical episode of Movie And A Beer we watched and review recent biopic by Baz Luhrmann, Elvis. Staring Tom Hanks who tells the story of Elvis (played by Austin Butler) from the perspective of Col. Tom Parker who was Elvis' manager for many years. The acting is solid, the music is amazing, the story, while a bit shallow, tells a decent story. We had a couple of interesting beers with this film based on the foods that Elvis liked the most. A banana bread beer and peanut butter & jammy

Movie And A Beer ·

2022/09/20

On this Norse Mythology driven episode of Movie And A Beer we review the Marvel film Thor Love And Thunder and enjoyed a few beers from far away breweries. If you're following the 30+ Marvel Cinematic Universe movies you will find this one is sort of a stand-alone and is more about the relationship between Gods and their worshipers than superhero's. This time around we follow Thor as he tries to stop Gorr the God Butcher from taking out any more of his compatriots and saves a few kidnapped New

As we close out season four of Movie And A Beer, we discuss Jordan Peele's foray into sci-fi horror with Nope. This excellent film follows the Haywood horse ranch brother and sister team played by Daniel Kaluuya and Keke Palmer as they seek that 'Oprah Shot' to cash in on their mysterious visitor. We were able to see the film at Cinema 21 here in Portland OR. The three different beers we tried all went well, but some better than others and drinking beer through a straw may be the reason why.

2022/07/26

Bringing it back to 2002, we enjoyed the coming of age story Bend It Like Beckham. With the backdrop of the soccer pitch, young Indian girl Jess, played by Parminder K. Nagra learns that your family and friends aren't always there for you, while you can be. This is a great family night movie for those with teenage kids. We had a couple of really good new(er) beers from Kings and Daughters brewing and Living Häus Beer Co. while watching the movie. Both were worthy, one a bit more bitter. Give the

This was Edgar Wright's first big budget film and it pays homage to Romero's zombie lore while starring Simon Pegg, Nick Frost, and Kate Ashfield.

The Northman staring a multitude of actors including Alexander Skarsgård, Ethan Hawke, Nicole Kidman, and Willem Dafoe, bring the audience into a world of deceit, anger, yelling, and more yelling, and vengeance. We were lucky enough to sample some meads from Denmark and a local one from Battleground WA to help channel the vibe of this dark, sinister, and brutal betrayal on the screen.

For this episode of Movie And A Beer, we celebrate Cinco-De-Mayo by watching the classic 1995 Robert Rodriguez film Desperado.

We've traveled back to 2004 again to watch Mean Girls for this Movie And A Beer podcast episode. Watch out for the Plastics and don't let your guard down! This great teen drama follows Cady Heron (Lindsay Lohan) as she works her way into the best click while playing both sides. In order to appreciate this 'chick flick' of a film, we sipped on some hard-seltzers from a couple of great breweries.

Movie And A Beer Episode 80: Moonfall

2022/04/12

On this episode of Movie And A Beer, we experimented with recording in space, where the sound is tinny and air is thin. We also watched Moonfall and drank some beers that visited space or had something to do with the moon or aliens at least. Moonfall is one of those big blockbuster Sci-Fi CGI driven films that sometimes has great acting, but often poor scripting and weird gaps in logic. This one didn't disappoint in that in the least bit. The three beers we tried with the film included: a beer whos
