Scum, Beer & Villainy Podcast
Craft beer geeks. Regular geeks. We combine these in a mind-blasting explosion of nonsense that every craft beer fanatic, geek, and homebrewer can connect with. Join hosts Marcel and Matt as they explore the weird world of beer and geekery. Beers will be reviewed. Science fiction will be mentioned. Homebrewing will be scrutinized. And we will almost certainly argue about who shot first. Join us.

It's the end of another year and we're all mostly alive and still kicking! Join your intrepid and somewhat sexy hosts, Matt and Marcel as they reminisce and wax semi-literately about the year that has gone by in this first installment of a two-volume marathon episode.
Laugh as Matt reveals his pathological fear of science-fiction horrors, and cry as Marcel yet again fails to remember anything of lasting importance. But most of all,...
In this episode, Matt and Marcel delve deep into the scary world of selecting favorite movies. But not just any old film, folks. They're talking about the most re-watchable flicks out there. The kind of movies that suck you in no matter what you happen to be doing, much like a small quantum black hole that suddenly appears in your living room, centered on your favorite recliner. And much like a fine old barley wine with a double-di...
In this short episode of Scum, Beer and Villainy, Matt and Marcel review the Keghouse brewery's limited release, rum barrel-aged pumpkin ale. Christmas in a glass! Tune in to find out what our intrepid beer nerds think of this interesting brew!

In this episode, we look at the very best heist movies while drinking some of the very best beers we’ve ever had on the pod. Dare we say that your hosts, Matt and Marcel, will be pulling off an epic heist of your ears for their beer and nerd shenanigans?
We probably shouldn’t.
Tune in anyway to find out why Matt has a fascination with his own urine, why Marcel’s fanboy hysteria for Soul Barrel Brewing Company know...
Join your intrepid hosts and beer nerds, Marcel and Matt, for another episode of mayhem, IPAs and geekery. In today's show, they drink a load of brews from Cape Town-based outfit, Afro Caribbean Brewing Company, add beers to the IPA leaderboard, and review the best of science-fiction television.

Tune in for more beer, more ge...
It's this long-overdue short edition of Scum, Beer and Villainy, Matt and Marcel review Jack Black's Cape Pale Ale. It's an APA-style beer from the Cape. Sweet.
Tune in to see if Marcel can get over the dark undertones in this beer's branding. Matt also reflects on his time as crack mule for the Medellin Cartel! And that's such a bonus, right?
Will this interesting little ale make it to Mars? Is this the beer our intrepid hosts hav...
Just in time for the Holidays, Matt and Marcel find themselves stranded on LV-426 with nothing for company but each other and a couple of beers. Yes, it's time to watch 1986's Aliens! Also, IPAs are on the menu, and what a lineup it is.
Tune in and listen as Matt is disturbed at the bitterness of it all, Marcel waxes naively about why he should be Bishop, and feel terrified as the dystopian nightmare that is life rolls ever o...
In another SBV Short, we get all bitter and twisted. Yep, we drink some pretty wonderful bitter in the form of New Brixton Brewery's Bitter.
Like the city it celebrates, this beer has flavor, edge, and some pretty funky design.
Listen in as Matt and Marcel dissect this brew.
Additional Notes
New Brixton has released an APA and Lager recently. Good one! We'll be looking into those soon in future shows.

In today's episode, Matt and Marcel go full nerd and rank all of Star Wars. Yep, in less time it would take you to watch one movie, they discuss ten. Bargain!
Tune in to see how beer mixes with Bantha pudu, why Matt doesn't need no stinking Boba Fett, and why Marcel can't really get over how scary Darth Vader is. Also: both hosts agree on one thing: Christopher Lee is one bad mother (shut your mouth!).
Beers with a twist are tasted...
In our 8th episode we get weird. Well, weirder than normal, anyway. We taste some left-of-center beers and contemplate what really makes a beer a strange beer. Also, and perhaps more awesome, Matt and Marcel get to pick their favorite shows from the small screen in Scum, Beer and Villainy's first TV draft.
Expect much geekery as Matt brings out TV shows that nobody's ever seen, and Marcel reveals that Andre Braugher's la...
In this (actually) short Short, Matt and Marcel take a closer look at Poison City's The Other Bird Dark Lager. Marcel provides yet more evidence of his alcoholism by moaning about smaller bottles while Matt tells us something dark and horrible about his garage.
Don't miss the fun, trials and tribulations and join us for a cold one!

- Two Okes Blonde
- Devil's Peak First Light
- That Brewery Company's Blonde

It’s our IPA episode! Just in time for IPMay. We go through an impressive array of IPAs, including the New England style that looks like dishwater but tastes anything but. Matt and Marcel discuss iconic Sci-Fi stuff and debate the real meaning of “floaters”. Matt expresses his hatred for almost all the days of the week and we uncover what is perhaps the quintessential Faux-PA in SA right now.
Don’t miss this...
In this episode, Marcel blames Matt for everything, including the long hiatus in recording the podcast. We review more than a few craft lagers and Matt tastes glaciers. We also look back at the best and worst of 2016 where the long-awaited argument about Mad Max: Fury Road finally happens. Join us for our New Hope episode!

Belgian beers are ta...
