370: Honey Don't/Burn After Reading With Guest Emily Suggs
This week, we welcome back our good friend Emily Suggs for one of our most eclectic lineups yet. We crack open a little bit of everything—a couple of standout NA brews from Athletic Brewing and Bravus Brewing, a THC seltzer from Wild State that sends the conversation sideways, and a crisp IPA from (512) Brewing that we can't find on our shelves here in Corpus. Variety and chaos is the name of the game.
We dive into Honey Don’t, the new solo outing from Ethan Coen, and then line it up against one of the Coen brothers’ classics, Burn After Reading. What happens when one half of the duo strikes out on his own? We dig into the differences in tone, the sharpness of the humor, and whether Ethan alone can match the magic of the brothers together. It’s a lively, boozy, and very Coen-centric conversation that’ll make you want to revisit the whole catalog with a fresh pint in hand.

369: The Toxic Avenger (2023)/Troma's War With Guest Blake Trevino
This week, we’re joined by comedian Blake Trevino for a wild ride into the world of Troma. Our main feature is the gonzo, gleefully gross 2023 reboot of The Toxic Avenger, followed by a dive back into Troma history with the chaotic cult classic Troma’s War (1988).
Along the way, we toast with a perfect thematic pairing: first, a return to Drekker Brewing’s Ectogasm—because when the can art looks like it crawled straight out of a Tromaville sewer, you can’t pass it up. Then, we cool off with a crisp Krauss Czech Pilsner from Galveston Bay Brewing, our second visit to Galveston Bay.
Plenty of Troma talk—schlock, satire, slime, and the surprising staying power of Lloyd Kaufman’s DIY empire.

368: Caught Stealing/Repo Man With Guest Ethan Thompson
This week we welcome our buddy Ethan Thompson, who came back from Alaska like Santa Claus with two amazing beers from Anchorage Brewing—one of our favorite breweries that cruelly refuses to distribute near us. While sipping those treasures, we dive into Darren Aronofsky’s new crime caper Caught Stealing, starring Austin Butler as a washed-up ballplayer who stumbles into a very bloody second act. To keep the outlaw energy flowing, we crack open Alex Cox’s cult gem Repo Man, because nothing says “punk heist vibes” like aliens, generic 'food,' glowing car trunks, and Emilio Estevez in his prime.

367: Nobody 2/The Shadow Strays with Guest Anthony Zoccolillo
This week on Beer and a Movie we’re joined by Anthony Zoccolillo to talk about Nobody 2, the sequel to a film we really loved. Does it keep the great vibe of the original while pushing the story forward? We dig in.
From there, we rewind to director Timo Tjahjanto’s 2024 Netflix film The Shadow Strays, a film we all recommend: gory, brutal, unforgiving action.
And of course, we’ve got the beers to match: Real Ale Brewing's Swifty, crisp and fast on its feet like Hutch himself, and Sunday Beer League, a juicy collaboration between Mason Ale Works and Blackstack Brewing that layers complexity the way The Shadow Strays layers shadow and silence.
Great movies, great beer, and one hell of a conversation—press play and crack one open with us.

366: Weapons/The Civil War on Drugs with Guest Josh Deleon
Joe and David welcome special guest Josh Deleon (who also provided music for the episode) for a hop-fueled dive into cinematic madness. First up is Weapons, the latest from Barbarian mastermind Zach Cregger—a tense, mind-bending trip through violence, paranoia, and narrative whiplash. For the companion film, the trio rewinds to Cregger's co-directed absurd, cult-comedy The Civil War on Drugs.
On tap: Tupps Brewing’s Evil Dankster, a dank, resin-packed hop monster with attitude, and Dogfish Head’s Grateful Dead Juicy Pale Ale, a fruity, easy-drinking brew with jam-band vibes.
Expect sharp takes, big laughs, and more than a few detours into unexpected territory—just another episode of Beer and a Movie.
