Beer and a Movie

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.

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.

Sean Baker's newest won the Palme d'Or at Cannes so we booked a little time with Anora and paired it with Baker's previous film, The Florida Project. Baker is best known for films about the lives of marginalized people, especially immigrants and sex workers. Does Anora live up to the massive hype? Guest Ethan Thompson comes in for a great discussion!

All good things must come to an end, so we celebrate the final 2024 All Horror October episode with two Nineties Nightmares! Two very different nightmares with Peter Jackson's comedy/blood-soaked Braindead (aka Dead Alive) and Michael Haneke's anti-horror treatise Funny Games. Adam Beam is back and lends his encyclopedic horror knowledge to the terrifying proceedings.
