Beer and a Movie

337: Wolf Man/An American Werewolf in London with Guest Josh Deleon

That's no wolfman! That's just guest Josh Deleon back to talk horror with Blumhouse's new Wolf Man. All bark, no bite? We let you know and then skip across the pond for the werewolf classic, An American Werewolf in London. Things get hairy as we work avoid the full moon this go 'round.

336: Conclave/The Two Popes with Guest Tom Murphy

A lapsed Catholic, a lapsed Baptist, and a poet walk into a bar. The punchline: "Catholics are canceling us after this episode." Fear not, my children, since poet Tom Murphy joins us for the first time to discuss award-buzzy Conclave and The Two Popes (2019), and we do our best to keep the blasphemy to the bare minimum.

335: A Complete Unknown/I'm Not There with Guest Jimmy Willden

How many roads must Dylan walk down before anyone figures him out? We brave the hard rain with two films: Mangold's new A Complete Unknown and Haynes's I'm Not There. One's a distillation; the other a deconstruction. Musician, filmmaker, and music festival organizer Jimmy Willden is the perfect hurricane to help us make sense of what's blowin' in the wind. 

A couple of beers from Meanwhile Brewing and Martin House Brewing Co. are there to get us tangled up in booze.

334: Nosferatu (2024)/Shadow of the Vampire with Guest Josh Deleon

Happy N(osferat)ew Year! Our first episode of the new year brings new Eggers (!!!) so guest Josh Deleon is here to ecstatically discuss Nosferatu. We pair it up with 2000's Shadow of the Vampire for a little double Defoe and double Noz! Guys, it's the best episode of 2025 (so far).

333: Mufasa: The Lion King/Roar with Guest Adam Beam

"The Most Dangerous Film Shoot of All Time" is the tagline for Roar, the 1981 can't-believe-they-made-this passion project filled with jungle cats, untrained actors, and hospitalizations. The natural pairing with Mufasa: The Lion King. Adam Beam returns to mix it up with beers from Oddwood Brewing and another Goose Island Bourbon County.

332: Nutcrackers/Dear Santa with Guest Tyler Chrobosinski

Is one reason for the season new Christmas films? We tackle two new holiday streamers with big stars and big directors: Ben Stiller's Nutcrackers (Hulu) and Jack Black's Dear Santa (Paramount+). And....oof...this doesn't go well. Guest Tyler Chrobocinski is back to see if we can find a little holiday cheer up in here.

331: Y2K/Brigsby Bear with Guest Blake Trevino

Y2K! Dumb, satisfying fun or an apocalyptic mess? Kyle Mooney's directorial debut is paired with an out-of-nowhere treat: Brigsby Bear (2017). This Mooney-starring film turns out to be the best surprise of the week. Comedian Blake Trevino stops in to chop it up, and we drink two great beers from Sierra Nevada and Jester King.

330: Emilia Pérez/I Saw The TV Glow with Guest Connor Stewart

Emilia Pérez is getting all the buzz so we take a look at this musical/crime/romantic/comedy. That's a lot of genres to put into one flick...do they pull it off? Add to that another 2024 catch-up film, I Saw the TV Glow, and you have quite the interesting pairing.

Comedian Connor Stewart joins the fun with two beers from Four Corners Brewing and Turning Point Beer. 

329: Wicked Part One/The Wiz with Guest Adam Beam

Musical theater/film adaptation expert Adam Beam joins BaaM this week to discuss the instantly-POPULAR film version of the smash hit Broadway show Wicked. Does it DEFY GRAVITY or make us turn green? Then, we head back to Oz (1978 New York-style) with The Wiz directed by Sidney Lumet(!?!?). Two beers help us ease on down the road.
