Beer and a Movie

271: Killers of the Flower Moon with Guest Sean Mclain

A Scorsese drop during All Horror October yields a bonus episode this week because we just couldn't wait! Killers of the Flower Moon with guest Sean McLain.
Can this film which such high expectations possibly meet them? We tell you everything!

270: Skinamarink/Begotten - All Horror October: Experimental Horror with Sean McLain

The final All Horror October episode delves into experimental territory with Skinamarink and the mythical cult-favorite, Begotten. Can two delicious beers and guest Sean McLain help us decipher these visual mysteries? Caution: More questions than answers may emerge with these two challenging films.

269: Hush/Inside - All Horror October Home Invasions With Guest Josh Deleon

One of us calls one of this week's home invasion horror films 'a masterpiece'. All Horror October continues with Hush (2016) and Inside (2007), hand selected by guest and home invasion expert, Josh Deleon. Was Joe right to give so many warnings about the gore-level of Inside? Can David handle a look back at one of his first college craft beers? Does Josh need to pick different movies to watch and recommend?

268: Saw X/Exorcist: Believer/It Lives Inside - All Horror October With Guest Kailey Diaz

It's this year's All Horror October batch of the most recent horror new releases with two franchises, Saw X and Exorcist: Believer, along with the PG-13-rated, Hindu lore creature-feature, It Lives Inside. Kailey Diaz joins us and, along with three beers, we balance horror and high-ABV humor well into the 2nd hour of this mega-episode. And most importantly, we really don't see sucked-out-eyeball to eyeball on any of the films.

267: Bay of Blood/Suspiria - All Horror October Begins With Guest Ronee Martinez

All Horror October IV begins with our Italian Horror Maestro Double Feature: Mario Bava's Bay of Blood (1971) and Dario Argento's Suspiria (1977) with guest Ronee Martinez. Ronee, wearing an Argento T-shirt and a taxidermied bat, brings her expertise as the operator of The Official Corpus Christi Horror Club. 
We kick things off in bloody style with two great films and beers by 3 Nations Brewing and Peroni, the biggest beer in Italy. 

266: Dumb Money/The Social Network - Running Through Lightning With Guest Anthony Zoccolillo

“Paul Dano is a god d@mned American treasure,” says this week’s guest Anthony Zoccolillo. We try to make a little Dumb Money, the new Dano film about the notorious 2021 GameStop stock short controversy, and explain why we paired it with Fincher’s The Social Network? We learn something new about David, Joe still hates The Ring, and Anthony {perfectly?} describes the taste profile of farmhouse ales.

265: A Haunting in Venice/Don’t Look Now with Guest Kyle Ferguson

Dr. Horror, Kyle Ferguson, is BACK to discuss Kenneth Branaugh's latest, A Haunting in Venice, along with the 1973 Roeg CLASSIC, Don't Look Now! How did we feel about this latest spook-filled Poirot whodunnit? Did Don't Look Now's reputation live up to this first-time-viewing experience for Kyle and Joe?

We save Don't Look Up's spoiler ending until the very end so buckle up, and enjoy this blood-drenched episode of BaaM!

264: Showing Up/Big Eyes With Guest Pamela Brouillard

David gets excited to review one of his favorite working directors, Kelly Reichardt's, new film, Showing Up. This quiet character set in the world of Oregon art allows us to also take a look at Tim Burton's Big Eyes (2014). Returning guest, Pamela Brouillard, brings the high intellectual takes as usual, but then shocks us repeatedly with some great drops.

263: Bottoms/Shiva Baby With Guest Meridith Melville

See Bottoms! That's our take this week with first-time-guest Meredith Melville. But should you go back to Bottoms writer/director Emma Seligman's debut, Shiva Baby? That's a little more mixed. Two films from the same director...two beers from the same brewery. Garden Path Fermentation enters the BaaM 5-Timers Club after we enjoy their The Easygoing Drink and The Wet Hopped Ship!

262: Pee Wee’s Big Adventure/Playtime - Complex But Not Complicated - Guest: Ethan Thompson

We remember Paul Reubens by spending a little time down memory lane with Pee Wee's Big Adventure and guest Ethan Thompson. We try not to just do a quote-a-thon, but so...many...quotes. We pair it with Jacques Tati's titular character Monsieur Hulot as featured in Playtime. 

BaaM Patron Beer Saint, Daniel Benavidez, provides us with two 14% barleywines from Weathered Souls Brewing's #BIL series, and they do their job.
