With the passing of Neil Peart, we wanted to cover a movie that featured the music of RUSH while keeping in the spirit of what the MMB podcast is all about. "I Love You Man" took the box office by storm in 2009 amidst a pretty bleak time where the economy was doing through the great recession. We needed a lift back then and we definitely needed it now with Neil's passing, so we thought this was a timely episode to record. For this episode, we brought in fellow RUSH fan and graphic designer, Brandon Moses.In addition to talking about the movie, we break down our favorite RUSH tunes from a drumming perspective, essentially celebrating Neil's career as a drumming icon.After the discussion of RUSH, Jay and Brandon talk about their alcoholic drinks of choice for the week.Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/moviesmusicandbeer)

In our first "music only" episode, Ryan and Jay talk to members of the progressive rock band, YYNOT. We found these guys while browsing YouTube and were blown away by their sound and musicianship. While they're well-known for their amazing covers of classic RUSH tunes, we were equally impressed with their original music. Even with a solid helping of the Canadian power trio's influence weaved throughout their chord progressions and arrangements, they maintain their own vibe and have their own stories to tell.This episode includes a fun interview with Billy Alexander (guitar) and Tim Starace (bass) from the band, along with 3 full tracks from their Sept 2019 release, Resonance. We thoroughly enjoyed spending time with these guys and hope you'll give them a listen. You can learn more about them on their website, www.yynotband.com. During the interview, we discuss how they got their start, and how they pull off such a great live show vibe, despite being located in different states. We also get a little nerdy about music gear and favorite RUSH albums before talk about beer and other enjoyable refreshments!Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/moviesmusicandbeer)

What kind of movie podcast would we be if we didn't cover some Star Wars, right? Well, that's all we're going to talk about tonight (other than the music and beer of course)! We brought our friend Casey on as a special guest for this one, as he's more of a SW fanatic than we are and helped us keep this train from falling off the tracks. If you're looking for 3 dudes to break down this film scene by scene and complain about everything, this isn't the show for you. Instead, we appreciate the film for what it is and discuss our general thoughts, which sometimes sound ridiculous, but that's why you listen to us, right?
