On this AI driven episode of Movie And A Beer we review Blade Runner 2049, the sequel to the original 1982 film Blade Runner. We also sipped three beers along the way and briefly cover which went best. Denis Villeneuve brings to life the futuristic landscape of Replicants and humanity as they struggle to co-exist with "K" played by Ryan Gosling as the current day Blade Runner, hunting down his own kind.

On this jewel heist family drama of Movie And A Beer, we watched and review Brothers, a 2024 film from Max Barbakow which stars Peter Dinklage and Josh Brolin as thieving siblings that are drawn into a plot to recover some stolen emeralds that their mother had hidden years prior on their dead step-father. While some might argue that this is more of a family drama film where the kids have to come to grips with the choices that their parents made, and try to learn from them (be it in good or bad

Flashing back to 2001, Movie And A Beer brings you Legally Blonde, a wonderful comedy about female empowerment that follows Elle Woods (Reese Witherspoon) who chases her ex-fiancé Warner (Matthew Davis) from college out in California to Law School, Harvard specifically. Her intent isn't to become a lawyer at first, but she quickly turns the tables on everyone and proves that she can do what she puts her mind to, and not just to get revenge on Warner.

Movie And A Beer Episode 174: The Big Short

Movie And A Beer ·

2025/09/16

On this financial thriller episode of Movie And A Beer, we enjoyed the 2015 film The Big Short that was directed by Adam McKay and stars an amazing cast of A-list actors. The movie follows the events leading up to 2008 when the housing market collapsed and a number of large banks went under. Done in a documentary like style, the main characters are portrayed as some of the few smart betting types made a lot of money on the failure (they did a Big Short on it). There are a lot of 4th wall breaks that

Movie And A Beer Episode 173: Reservoir Dogs

Movie And A Beer ·

2025/09/02

On this most gangster of episode of Movie And A Beer, we discuss Reservoir Dogs from 1992. The first of many films written and directed by Quentin Tarantino. It follows a group of criminals as their job goes sideways and the resulting fall out of their demise by the police. While most of the film is all dialogue and not a lot of action, what little bit there is holds your attention while the chips fall and they try to uncover who set them up. We did have some great old friends stop by and enjoyed

2025/08/19

On this KPop (Korean Pop Music) themed episode of Movie And A Beer, we enjoyed the recent Netflix/Sony Studios Animation movie KPop Demon Hunters. This is a traditional animated story that you will find across a lot of the anime that's out there. Good vs. Evil. Pretty simple until you learn that those lines aren't always clear, your past and shame don't own you, and you can overcome even the greatest of evils if you heart desires it. The music and songs performed in the movie are integrated into the

2025/07/22

Next up on Movie And A Beer, we have the acclaimed and award winning documentary Genghis BLues about the blind blues musician Paul Pena as he discovers the ancient art of Tuvan throat singing and his journey to the country where it originated. First time film maker Roko Belic allows the scenes and story to unfold in a natural and unscripted way (as documentaries should) and this brings you along on the spiritual and inspirational trip with Paul that is genuine and unique. We learned a lot about the

2025/07/08

There's a lot to unpack in this latest episode of Movie And A Beer with a review of Sinners and a couple of great sipping beers along the way. This movie is one of the best blends of horror, fantasy, historical drama, and music that we've ever seen. From start to finish, the story of redemption as presented by the director, Ryan Coogler brings you along for a lesson from our past. Michael B. Jordan plays twin brothers Smoke, and Stack as they return to their roots to create a new life for themselves

Movie And A Beer Episode 168: 2001 A Space Odyssey

Movie And A Beer ·

2025/06/24

On this exploration of space and ciders, we enjoyed the 1968 sci-fi classic 2001 A Space Odyssey by Stanley Kubrick. This film is considered one of the most influential sci-fi epics to come out of the 60's and it's influence can be seen in many other films and TV shows. We spend some time with our youth correspondent Otto discussing it's impact and the meaning it was trying to convey to the viewer. There's a lot to unpack and this is a little bit of an extra long episode as we also review some

2025/06/10

Here we are with a new installment of Movie And A Beer and this time around it's the 2025 horror/family drama Death of a Unicorn. Follow the pharma-bro's family as they discover a new and exciting drug that can cure all. Staring Paul Rudd, Jenna Ortega, Will Poulter, Téa Leoni, and Richard E. Grant, the cast really does an excellent portrayal of the ultra rich vs. nature and common sense. It's a great film that has lots of great humor sprinkled into the story to help you feel sorry for the unicorns

On this most layered episode of Movie And A Beer, we experienced Inception, the 2010 sci-fi dream inspired film by Christopher Nolan that involved going into others dreams, many layers deep, to plant an idea. We were lucky enough to have our old friend Randal and Otto, our youth correspondent along for the ride. During the discussion we cover differences between dreams and reality, movies and film, and what kind of dreams we have in conjunction to the snacks and some beverages we sampled along the

Movie And A Beer Episode 164: Asteroid City

Movie And A Beer ·

2025/04/29

On this episode of Movie And A Beer we discuss the recent Wes Anderson movie, Asteroid City. While this movie is about a play, it switches back and forth between the actual play and the production of the play, and the writing of the play and screen testing with poignant dialogue and sparce settings. Primarily character driven with some minor plot points push along the 1950's story about a small town's celebration of science and the inventions of some young scientists. The list of actors in this

Movie And A Beer Episode 163: Tropic Thunder

Movie And A Beer ·

2025/04/15

On this jungle exploring episode of Movie And A Beer, we discuss the rather farcical action flick Tropic Thunder. With an excellent cast of actors portraying actors portraying stereotypes we expect from Hollywood, this movie achieves what few only hope too, in that it pulls off making fun of itself without taking itself too seriously. Ben Stiller, Jack Black, and Robert Downey Jr. are the main protagonist(s) whom exemplify the worst parts of being an "A-Lister" effectively while the supporting cast

2025/04/01

On this most frightful episode of Movie And A Beer, we review the recently released streaming film The Parenting. Directed by Craig Johnson with the screenplay by Kent Sublette, the movie starts out in 1983 providing a backdrop for the spooky vibes and monsters that show up later on in the film. Starring a number of talented actors, the story is a great blend between the horror and comedy genres. The story, while somewhat believable takes you along the path of discovery and forgiveness in a

Movie And A Beer Episode 161: Spaceballs

Movie And A Beer ·

2025/03/18

On this most epic spoof of a space comedy episode of Movie And A Beer, we most lovingly enjoyed Spaceballs, the Mel Brooks film from 1987. This is one of the best spoof movies that is out there, it uses all kinds/types of humor to make fun of and laugh along with the audience references to pop culture, sci-fi movies and TV shows, and just about anything else that was relevant at the time. While the film's humor is centered around that, the story and acting were quite simple and straight forward

Movie And A Beer Episode 160: Hundreds of Beavers

Movie And A Beer ·

2025/03/04

On this cold weather survival and hunting expedition of Movie And A Beer, we discuss the wonderful black and white (sort of) silent film Hundreds of Beavers. This comedy was created using a super low budget, amazing physical action, and lots of talented post-production effects. The film’s writer, director, editor, and main visual effects artist Mike Cheslik has provided the viewer with an experience that should be shared with a wide audience. Storytelling without much dialogue is along forgotten

2025/02/18

As we look back on one of the better stand-alone MCU films on this episode of Movie And A Beer, we celebrate Asgard's destruction with Thor Ragnarok. Directed by Taika Waititi, this film brings in a delicious mix of humor with super-hero non-stop action and great actors supporting a simple, but humble hero's journey to save his people. The character Thor has a long and rough journey to find himself and his true powers while facing new challenges. You don't necessarily have to have watched the other
