380: Del Toro's Frankenstein/Warhol's Frankenstein With Guest Josh Deleon
It’s a tale of two Frankensteins! After years of dreaming, Guillermo del Toro has finally unleashed his version of Frankenstein — deeply human, and visually stunning. Then we dig into Andy Warhol’s Frankenstein, a depraved, gleefully grotesque art experiment that feels like it was stitched together in a neon nightmare. Same story, two wildly different visions of creation and chaos.
And, fittingly, we’ve got two very different IPAs to go with them — Lagunitas’ Beast of Both Worlds, a bold hybrid with bite, and Fast Friends Brewing’s Matamata New Zealand Hazy IPA, a smooth newcomer full of unexpected character.
Two Frankensteins, two beers, and one electrified conversation about what it means to make a monster.

379: Bugonia/Save the Green Planet With Guest Adam Beam
All Horror October is behind us, but we’re diving right back into the weird and the wonderful. This week, we tackle Bugonia — the latest mind-bender from Yorgos Lanthimos — and the South Korean cult classic that inspired it, Save the Green Planet! Two films that share a premise but couldn’t be more different in tone, heart, or execution.
Our guest Adam Beam returns as we pair the discussion with brews from Celestial Brewing and Japas Cervejaria. It’s a rare spoiler alert episode — and with these two films, trust us, you’ll want to heed it.

378: All Horror October Concludes with Spanish-Language Horror: Tigers are Not Afraid/La Llorona (2019) with Guest Josh Deleon
It’s the chilling conclusion of All Horror October, and we’re going out with a bilingual scream! This week, we plunge into Spanish-language horror, where ghosts cry, kids see too much, and grief has subtitles. Joining us at the haunted roundtable is Josh Deleon, who helps us navigate two haunting modern classics: Tigers Are Not Afraid (2017) — the grim fairy tale that’ll punch you right in the feels — and La Llorona (2019), not to be confused with The Curse of La Llorona (also 2019)… because this one’s actually good.
We toast the end of spooky season with one last Oktoberfest — the malty, magical brew from Ayinger — before cracking open not one, but two Pumpkinators from Saint Arnold Brewing: the 2024 original and the 2025 Bourbon Barrel-Aged beast. It’s a pumpkin showdown so rich and boozy, you might start crying “¡Ay, mi hígado!”
So light a candle, say a prayer, and pour yourself something dark and haunted. This week’s Beer and a Movie has everything — political ghosts, streetwise orphans, and the kind of beer lineup that’ll make the undead jealous.
🕯️ This is it, folks. The final sip of All Horror October. Salud, mis amigos del miedo. 🍻👻

377: All Horror October Week 4: The Black Phone 2/Good Boy with Guest Adam Beam
All Horror October rolls into Week 4 with guest Adam Beam joining us for our 2025/New Releases episode. We dive into two very different theatrical horrors—The Black Phone 2, which expands the supernatural dread of the original, and Good Boy, a haunting new vision told through the eyes of a dog.
There's plenty of debate on these two movies' merits as we crack open an Oktoberfest from 5x5 Brewing and a crisp Prodigal Pils from Lazarus Brewing.
Fresh pours, and plenty of Halloween-season chills as All Horror October nears its finale.

376: All Horror October Week 3 - Japanese Horror: Tetsuo: The Iron Man/Cure with Guest Carlos Cooper
OG co-host Carlos Cooper is back for All Horror October, and this week we’re diving into Japanese horror with two wildly different films. First, Tetsuo: The Iron Man throws us into a nightmarish, industrial spiral as a man begins transforming into a grotesque fusion of flesh and metal. Then, Cure (1997) takes a slower, chilling turn, following a detective unraveling a string of murders connected by a mysterious, untraceable figure.
On the beer side, we stick with our tradition of enjoying one Oktoberfest each week during All Horror October, starting with Odell Brewing’s Oktoberfest. We also visit Lazarus Brewing for the first time to enjoy their Black Pearl and their Rice Lager with Maqaw Peppercorns.
