359: 28 Years Later/Day of the Dead with Zombie Guest Josh Deleon
🧟♂️ Double Zombie Feature Alert! 🧟♀️
This week, we welcome back our go-to horror head Josh DeLeon for a two-film undead deep dive.
First up: an extended convo for 28 Years Later, paired with the Bellwether x Modestman collab Source Code — crisp, punchy, and just unstable enough to match the post-apocalyptic vibes.
Then we go full Romero with Day of the Dead, while cracking open a cellar treasure: a 2017 Parabola Vintage from Firestone Walker — dark, brooding, and aged like a corpse in a bunker.
Josh is a Romero freak, so expect reverence, ranting, and at least three arguments.
Come for the brains, stay for the beers.

358: Bring Her Back/Talk to Me with Guest Adam Beam
This week, we take on a haunting double feature from Australian filmmaking duo Danny and Michael Philippou. First up is their newest film, Bring Her Back, a moody, emotionally charged descent into grief and the supernatural that really showcases the directors’ growing horror universe. Then it’s on to their breakout hit, Talk to Me, the high-octane possession thriller that put the Philippous firmly on the map with its stylish scares and raw emotional undercurrent.
Third-chair guest Adam Beam is back, and fueling the conversation are standout brews from Belleflower Brewing and Turning Point Beer.

357: The Phoenician Scheme/Bottle Rocket with Guest Harold Ramos
🎬 It’s another Wes Anderson-packed episode of Beer and a Movie! 🍻
We kick things off with 2025's corporate-espionage-filled The Phoenician Scheme, then circle back to the breezy beginnings of Wes Anderson’s career with Bottle Rocket. Returning guest Harold Ramos joins us again to unpack both films with his signature wit and thoughtful insight.
For The Phoenician Scheme, we cracked open Rainbow Sherbet from Prairie Artisan Ales — tart, colorful, and a little chaotic — while Harold sipped on Community’s Hop’d Water, a crisp and hoppy non-alcoholic option. Did it still bring the flavor?
For Bottle Rocket, we make our first-ever trip to Geary Brewing Co. and tried their Maine Summer Ale — crisp and classic, is it a perfect match for Anderson’s sun-soaked debut.
Crack a cold one and press play — this one’s gets deep into Anderson's career.

356: Friendship/I Love You Man with (First Time) Guest Andy Gomez
This week, we’re thrilled to welcome guest comedian Andy Gomez for his very first appearance—so buckle up for laughs, liquids, and bromantic explorations.
To match the whimsical vibe of Friendship, we crack open a THC seltzer from Trail Magic—because that’s exactly the kind of movie it is. While Texas holds its breath, waiting for the governor to sign off (or veto) on keeping or outlawing these fizzy, buzz-worthy drinks, we’re already in toast mode.
Next up, it’s time for classic buddy-comedy gold with I Love You, Man. To fuel our “I love you, bro” affirmations, we pop open a fresh pour from Equal Parts Brewing—a brew as balanced and dependable as a true friendship.
Tune in for a double feature that proves: whether it’s surreal comedy or heartfelt bromance, Beer and a Movie has got your perfect pairing.

355: Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning/Risky Business with Guest Adam Beam
On this week’s Beer and a Movie, the stakes are high, the hops are higher, and Tom Cruise is still running. We're joined by special guest Adam Beam for an explosive deep dive into Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning, followed by a throwback to the tighty-whitey chaos of Risky Business. 🕶️🔥
To fuel the mission, we hit our 17th (!) visit to St. Arnold Brewing Co.—clearly we’ve joined a cult—and team up with Lone Pint Brewery for a beer lineup that’s bold enough to take on The Entity. 🍺💣
We unpack Cruise’s legendary stunts, debate whether Risky Business is 80s sleaze or a suburban satire masterpiece, and ask: How much backstory is required for a 'final' film?
This one’s got spies, suds, and sweaty existentialism—aka your perfect mission briefing.
🎧 Tune in now—before this episode self-destructs in 5… 4… 3…
