Beer Me A Movie
A weekly podcast where two self-proclaimed film nerds talk movies. That's right, another movie podcast. Throughout each episode, we assign point values for different categories to arrive at a final score. Then we surprise our co-host (and our listeners) with the next week's movie. On the last week of every month, we randomly select a film suggestion from our listeners! We never know what we'll be talking about the next week! Shenanigans ensue.

It's here! The last episode of Beer Me a Movie before our big move! And there's no better way to end the show than to kick this sucker into plaid and talk about Mel Brooks' famous Star Wars parody: Spaceballs.
This is the part of the post where we usually tease something goofy we did/said in the episode. But instead we want to say thank you for joining us on this crazy journey. It's been a lot of fun and we appreciate all (except...

It's here! The PENULTIMATE episode of Beer Me a Movie. We're on a Mel Brooks streak, and Bryan STILL felt the need to atone for Earth Girls are Easy, so he's beered us a PROPER MUSICAL: The Producers!
There's a lot to talk about for a movie that went under a lot of people's radar. Tune in for a great discussion on musicals and film, some personal stories, and maybe the most horrible jokes we've ever made (and they're not even abo...

Here we are. The final listener pick of Beer Me A Movie. The spirit of Roger Ebert has guided his ghostly hand across the ouija board for the last time. But don't be sad! He blessed us with a heck of pick. We're talking about Robin Hood: Men in Tights!
You can't go wrong with a Mel Brooks movie. In fact, this listener pick is SO good it has inspired the remaining picks of the show. Tune in to find out if the movie is good or bad ...

Dave had one final nostalgia pick he'd been holding onto, and this one is extra special. If you grew up in the 90s, you probably love this movie or you've never heard of it. The podcast has been cancelled due to lack of hustle; it's Heavyweights!
This one has everything: a crazed Ben Stiller, a surprising amount of body positivity for the 90s, Paul Feig doing the least Paul Feig-y things ever on film, a kid-movie plot that you re...

This week we're celebrating Bryan's birthday! And we're still in the middle of Nostalgia Month 2, so Bryan had to conform his birthday pick to fit that. Oh ye of little faith, fear not. He answered that call with a heaping pile of blasphemy by beering us all Dogma.
Once upon a time, you could turn on Comedy Central on any given Saturday and this glorious movie would be playing. Now, it's much harder to get your hands on. But sinc...

We're continuing through Nostalgia Month Pt. II with a little movie that Dave beered especially for Bryan's birthday: Clerks.
It's no secret how much we love Kevin Smith and the View Askewniverse around these parts. So join us while we go back to where it all began! A simple movie about a man who isn't even supposed to be here today.

Bryan was bummed about only getting to make one nostalgic pick last month, so welcome to Nostalgia Month Pt. 2! This week, Bryan beered us a movie that was played and quoted over and over in the Betz household in the late 90s/early 00s: Paulie.
It was a time when you could make a movie starring Jay Mohr (in TWO roles!) about a talking bird telling a Russian Tony Shalhoub all about how much he misses the Pepsi Girl. That sentence ...

We spent a lot of time this month reminiscing about childhood and we asked you to do the same! The listener picks we got this month were varied and plentiful, but the ghostly finger of Roger Ebert settled on The Great Outdoors.
Vacations are a great time to make memories, start traditions, tell stories, eat giant steaks, fight bears, and argue with your family. Come for famous comedic actors John Candy and Dan Aykroyd, stay for r...

Dave set out with a very specific task this week: to break our show's scoring system. And the nostalgia-laden movie he beered us to attempt the feat?
Toy Story.
It's a BIG movie with big stars and even bigger implications for the film world at large. But is it enough to break our scoring system? Or did we talk about Andy's mom's "toys" just enough to ruin the movie for ourselves?
Listen to find out!

This month, it's important to remember the immortal words of Danny Glover: "You got nostalgia with ya right now." And for nostalgia month, Bryan has beered us all Angels in the Outfield!
It's a movie that teaches us that whether or not you believe in a higher power, if you pray REALLY HARD in a moment of desperation, heavenly beings might just reward you by... *checks notes*... helping your favorite sports team cheat.

Dave is kicking off an entire month of Nostalgia picks by beering us a memorable movie from his childhood… the iconic "Honey, I Shrunk The Kids."
It's a film that inspired a love of movie magic and how-did-they-do-that wonder in an entire generation of future film nerds. Also, it stars Rick Moranis. Need I say more?

Here we are: the end of TIME LOOP month. If we could do it all over again... well, that would be pretty thematic. For the last episode of the month, it was up to our listeners to choose a movie, and you picked The Butterfly Effect.
Are there moments from your past that you would like to revisit and try again? Maybe you were responsible for casting Ashton Kutcher as the dramatic lead in a movie in the 2000s and you have regrets ab...

Watch. Podcast. Repeat.
That's how things go down during TIME LOOP month. Bryan beered us a category staple this week: the confusingly dual-named Live Die Repeat / Edge of Tomorrow!
It's a surprisingly under-the-radar Tom Cruise and Emily Blunt flick where Earth has to defend itself from invading time traveling aliens. And they don't even have the decency to arrive in police boxes!

Dave decided this week to give himself a little gift. But even in being selfish for once, he still beered us a kick-ass high-octane time-loop flick for the ages: Run Lola Run.
It's a foreign film but don't let that scare you off. there's not much dialogue at all. Just a lot of running, action, being briefly animated, and bumping into people in slightly different ways, leading them to wildly different lives; all whilst trying to g...

It’s July, which everybody knows is time loop month. At least it is now, thanks to Bryan. And he managed to stick to his own theme! Go figure!
This week, we’re talking about the Hulu original rom-com: Palm Springs.
Because what’s better than repeating the same day forever? Doing it with Andy Samberg (and occasionally J.K. Simmons).

Whew boy, what a month. I don't know about you, but all the adrenaline has me exhausted. Our listener pick this month comes from Mike, who beered us Smokin' Aces!
With a cast as stacked as this one, it's crazy to think that this film almost serves as a palate cleanser after Cranked-out Statham, Harry HISHANDSISGUNS Potter, and Riki-Freakin'-Oh. That said, this movie has its moments, and you might want to pick it up from your loca...

Jesus Christ. Dave wins. He beered us the most over-the-top action movie of all time, Riki-Oh: The Story of Ricky.
Ricky, fresh from exacting revenge on a gang leader and still riddled with bullets, must fight his way through the hierarchy of tough prisoners and even-tougher wardens in this dystopian for-profit prison.
Don't let the subtitles or english dubbing fool you. This is the most batshit crazy non-stop beat-em-up/punch-...

Well, here we are. Bryan had to one-up Crank and solidify a theme for June. So naturally, he doubled down on an over-the-top adrenaline-fueled action flick: Guns Akimbo.
It's Harry Potter, but HIS HANDS IS GUNS.
You're welcome.

If Chill Factor was Speed on an ice cream truck, then Dave's pick this week is Speed on speed. Because he ramped up the action to absurd levels by beering us CRANK starring Jason Statham.
This movie STARTS at a 10 and has the impossible task of escalating for 88 straight minutes. And it DELIVERS. All while looking like the most 2006 movie that's ever 2006'd.
Dave didn't quite commit to a theme, though, so you'll have to stick a...

Another month is ending, and that means YOU got to beer US a movie! This month's theme was Crappy Hour, and Phil "Hot Take" Hawkins did not disappoint.
Phil beered us a little 90s movie called Chill Factor with Cuba Gooding Jr. and Skeet Ulrich. It's basically Speed in an ice cream truck. No, not that kind.
If that's not enough to pique your interest, check your pulse. Tune in and see just how off the rails this one goes.
