The Beer and B Movies Podcast

Episode 104 comes out this Saturday, and it's a special one. I want to celebrate the great B-Movie actor Tom Atkins, and I'm pairing it with River to River German Pilsner, provided by my friends at @singlespeedbrewingco. Tom has had a singularly wonderful career, and had been a big part of my movie viewing life, from The Fog, to Creepshow, Escape From New York, and all time classic Night of the Creeps. And that's just a small slice of his great career. He grew up in the blue collar world of Pittsburgh, PA, the son of a steel worker, and I thought it made sense to pair this one with a solid Pilsner from my blue collar home state. Get your favorite beverage ready and tune in this Saturday.

Episode 103: The Big Heat, with Ruekeller Helles, provided by Placentia's The Bruery. This is one tight, vicious little picture about a good cop pushed to the edge when gangsters blow up his life. Big thanks to The Bruery for giving me their Helles, a light, full flavored beer that pairs great with this intense, fantastic picture starring Glenn Ford, Gloria Grahame and Lee Marvin.

Episode 102 drops today, and it's a blast. Repo Man, with Shivaya Dry Hopped wild ale, from @cellador_ales. Emilio Estevez gives one of my favorite performances as Otto, a nihilistic punk in mid 80s Los Angeles, who gets tangled up with salty repo man Bud, played by legend Harry Dean Stanton. Oh, and there's a '64 Chevy Malibu with highly radioactive aliens in the trunk. And one of the best soundtracks ever. All this paired with a peachy, mouth watering wild ale from one of my favorite breweries. Join guest host Jane and me for a damn good time.

  Ladies and Gentlemen, the Fabulous Stains, with R&D Vintage 2023, from New Glarus Brewing. Guest host Jane picked this 1982 picture starring Diane Lane as a young woman dealt a series of devastating, life altering blows in a short amount of time. She takes her sister and cousin on the road with a couple bands and creates a movement. There's some great music from punk legends, who also play roles in the film. I paired it with a New Glarus award receiving sour, that is one hell of a good time.

Beer and B-Movies reaches its 100th episode. I'll be covering a number of topics from the first 99 episodes, from favorite movies to forgettable, awful, and dumb movies. But I have to shout out all the breweries that have contributed their products to episodes. And for this one, I have the Big Chef, a barrel aged Barleywine, provided by the great folks at Court Avenue Brewing. Thank you for the support, it's much appreciated.

Sam Raimi detonated onto the horror scene in 1981 with this grueling, wild picture, starring the man himself, Bruce Campbell. The premise is simple: five friends go to a remote cabin in the woods to "party down," and happen upon the Necronomicon and a tape recorder. They unwittingly call forth all sorts of nastiness, and all hell breaks loose, literally. It's independent filmmaking at its finest. To pair with it, I chose Marshall D's Hefeweizen, which the good people at @allertonbrewing gave me. It's me, the movie and the beer this Saturday.

Prophecy, John Frankenheimer's 1979 eco-horror about pollution from a logging company in Maine creating mutant plant and wildlife, and an ornery EPA doctor investigating. There's a giant, lumbering mutant bear named Katahdin causing all sorts of trouble, and unintentional comedy. I paired it with Czech Dark Dark Lager, provided by the wonderful people at @fielddaybeer. It's a smooth, roasty, easy drinking beer that would go great with a Maine camping trip. Just avoid Katahdin. Join me and guest host Jon for the chat.

The Beer & B-Movies Podcast returns with 1991's I Bought a Vampire Motorcycle, and four beers generously provided by my good friends at @threeweavers. This British comedy horror picture was picked by guest host Jon, and it's something else. A satanic cult is ambushed by some cross bow toting bikers, and in the ensuing melee a motorcycle is possessed by a vampiric demon. Say no more, I'm in. Three Weavers gave us Goldie lager, Cape Weather altbier, Dark & Jammy sour and Cambodian Cowboy Cambodian coffee inspired stout to pair with this one, and it's all a good time.

In celebration of the season we're covering Bob Clark's 1974 #slasher Black Christmas. Before Halloween, this terrifying picture laid out the blueprint for the modern slasher (if slasher movies are your bag, check out episode 34 of our podcast, a slasher special). A sick, sick individual is prank calling a sorority, and murdering the inhabitants. It's atmospheric, with a bit of dark humor, and some great camerawork. Thanks for listening!

Episode 95 wraps up #noirvember. The Big Combo, paired up with Radiant Beauty West Coast IPA, which was given to us by the wonderful people at @greencheekbeer. Joseph Lewis directed this gritty picture, with legendary Cinematographer John Alton providing some classic #filmnoir shots. But is it a pure film noir? That's debatable, and debate we do. The new episode drops this Saturday, so mark your calendars and join us.  Thanks for listening! Check out our website SUBSCRIBE: to the show on Apple Podcast  or Google Play.

We're starting #noirvember with episode 94, The Shanghai Gesture, Josef Von Sternberg's dreamlike tale of revenge from 1941. Known for its fantastic costumes, camerawork and performances, this was Sternberg's last directing job for a decade, until he made Macao (covered in episode 53). What are we pairing it with? East L.A. IPA, a crisp, sharp, pine laden #ipa given to us by the good people of @angryhorsebrewing, out of #montebello.  Thanks for listening!

Episode 93 is a special episode to close our a special month. We're chatting all about Possession Movies! From The Exorcist to Christine, to all sorts of other types of possessions, it's a circuitous conversation, and we have a great beer for the episode. Vice Black Currant Berliner Weisse, from the generous folks at @wildbarrelbrewing. Thanks for listening! Check out our website SUBSCRIBE: to the show on Apple Podcast  or Google Play.

This Saturday! 1965's Die, Monster, Die!, with The Fog Knows Your Name Hazy IPA, given to us by Placentia's @junipermorganbrewing. Another adaptation of The Colour Out of Space, this finds Boris Karloff as the loony patriarch of a family cursed by a stone from outer space. The setting is changed from New England to England, and they slip a love interest in there, because that's what they do. The foggy English countryside pairs up wonderfully with this Hazy, fruity beer, as we get into the full October vibe. Set a reminder for our return this Saturday.  Thanks for listening!

The People Who Own the Dark, with Tip the Cow Cocoa Espresso Stout from @singlespeedbrewingco. Episode 90s picture starts like it's going to be some Pier Paolo Pasolini picture. Various government agents, scientists and an adventurer and drug smuggler (played by Paul Naschy). They love their pleasures extreme, and use the Marquis de Sade as their guide. The disturbing masks are never fully explained, but there are only like five guests at the drug fueled orgy, so they don't make much sense. Anyhoo, all they want to do is indulge their every desire, no matter how extreme. Spoiler alert: the nukes hit before they can get into it. We get into the delicious Milk Stout the awesome folks at SingleSpeed gave us, that's for sure.  Thanks for listening! Check out our website SUBSCRIBE: to the show on Apple Podcast  or Google Play.

The Killing, Stanley Kubrick's tight, amazing film noir, is paired with beer the great folks at @hopsaintbrewingco gave us. Sterling Hayden plays Johnny Clay, fresh out of a five year stay in prison, and he's planning a new caper. Robbing a horse track of 2 million bucks. This picture set a new standard for crime movies that resonates today. To pair with it, we have four different, and delicious, beers: Happy Pils, Pure Intention Pale Ale, IPA, and Double IPA of Extinction.  Thanks for listening!

Episode 88 is a special one, folks. Escape From New York, with Rye So Dark Black IPA, kindly provided by @naughtypinebrewing. It's 1997, and due to an increase in crime, Manhattan has been walled off and turned into the country's largest prison. The president's plane has been hijacked and crashed into the prison. There's only one man who can get him out: Snake Plissken. This one's bad ass all around. John Carpenter, Kurt Russell, Adrienne Barbeau, Lee Van Cleef, Isaac Hayes, Harry Dean Stanton, Ernest Borgnine. Even Tom Atkins makes an impact in a small role. Frank Doubleday nearly steals the whole picture, though. It's a bleak view of the future, and a land of perpetual night, so a black IPA seemed appropriate. Thanks for listening!

This Saturday is episode 87, The Caller, with Double Hopnosis Imperial IPA the good people at @firestonewalker_propagator provided. This Charles Band production sports a cast of two. No extras, nothing, just two people. It's a quirky little picture that's part murder mystery, part scifi. There's nothing quirky about the beer, though, it's straight ahead fruity deliciousness. We have Malcolm Mcdowell knocking on a stranger's door in the middle of the night asking to use the phone, claiming car trouble. Where have we heard that before?

Episode 86 is a doozy, folks. This Saturday it's Hard Ticket to Hawaii, with Blonde Fatale Belgian Style Blonde Ale kindly provided by the good people of @peacetreebrewing. Director Andy Sidaris was a B-Movie kingpin from the mid 80s to late 90s, with a stock company of actors pulled from Playboy and Penthouse. He also liked guns and ridiculous deaths. We chose what many consider his finest work, Hard Ticket to Hawaii, a picture so relentlessly silly and confusing you can't help but love every minute. Blonde Fatale is a terrific pairing, both for its deliciousness, but also because of the two blonde leads, played by Playmates Dona Speir and Hope Marie Carlton. It's guns, babes, Hawaii and a snake infested with toxins from rats infected with cancer. Yep Thanks for listening! Check out our website SUBSCRIBE: to the show on Apple Podcast  or Google Play.

This Saturday it's 1954's Johnny Guitar, with three beers from @bhbc, procured by Jayson's dad. Joan Crawford is Vienna, a tough business woman with some advance knowledge about the railroad, so she sets up a casino in anticipation of cashing in in a year. Only problem is, the local ranchers, lead by Emma Small, don't want her kind around. It's a classic western trope, with one important difference: the main protagonists are women. Sterling Hayden plays the title character, who's definitely a secondary character. There are a lot of ins and a lot of outs here, so it's a good thing we have Barrelhouse's IPA, Mango IPA and Big Sur DIPA to keep our minds limber. Tune in this Saturday for more.

The Living Skeleton, comes out this Saturday. This Japanese tokusatsu horror picture is a true mystery to us. Pirates slaughter an entire ship of passengers for gold, only to be hunted down by a ghost three years later. Or is it a ghost? The twin sister of one of the victims might be the killer, but is she even alive? There's a real dreamlike quality to this one that draws you in, and we're thrilled and thankful to the kind folks at @absolutionbrewing for giving us four beers to pair up with this picture: Su-Do Pilsner, Cruisin' South Mexican Lager, 405 IPA and Thiol Dial Thiolized Hazy DIPA. It's a surreal journey into the afterlife, and a crime caper film rolled together. Thanks for listening! Check out our website SUBSCRIBE: to the show on Apple Podcast  or Google Play.

It's summer, so for episode 83 we're going with 1963s Beach Party, with Suburban Foam Blonde Ale, a unique collaboration between @hermosabrewingco and @descendents. When summer break arrives, Frankie and Dee Dee head to the beach for sun, surfing and, in Frankie's case, a little something more. What they and their friends don't know is Professor Sutwell, an anthropologist, is spying on them. This was not viewed as creepy at all. Hermosa Brewing was kind enough to provide their 5th Anniversary beer, an ideal beach brew that kept us in the zone for discussing this sweet, silly picture. Join us. Thanks for listening!

 Let's Scare Jessica to Death, paired with Bohemian Rapids Czech Pilsner, which the good people at @iowabrewingco gave us. A dreamlike horror tale from 1971, this picture is about a woman, recently hospitalized for an unexplained mental situation, who moves to a country farm with her husband and their friend. They encounter a free spirited hippie who may not be what she pretends to be. He'll, there's a debate whether she's even alive. Bohemian Pils was picked for the somewhat Bohemian lifestyle these folks live, and because it would be an ideal beer for crushing while working on their farm. Thanks for listening!

Episode 81 is stealthily creeping up on us. This Saturday, we're bringing the 1980s ninja sub genre to the podcast, with 1981s Enter the Ninja, paired up with Mediator Doppelbock, which the good people at @heaterallenbeer were kind enough to provide. Franco Nero stars as Cole, a white dude trained in the arts of the ninja, who helps his friends defend their farm from some bad dudes. Don't let the fact Nero doesn't know martial arts stop you from enjoying this action movie. We let the smooth, caramelly Doppelbock mediate the episode, and leave the shuriken at home.  Thanks for listening! Check out our website SUBSCRIBE: to the show on Apple Podcast  or Google Play.

This Saturday we're returning to the world of Lovecraft in episode 80, The Curse. Based on the classic story The Colour Out of Space, this picture tells the tale of a struggling family farm that is rocked when a strange object from space lands in a field one night. What at first seems like a godsend quickly turns into a living nightmare. To pair with this, we found Look Into the Air Hazy Pale Ale with Nelson Sauvin hops, which @luabrewing was kind enough to provide. It's a thrilling story that may or may not make a thrilling picture, but we have a great beer. Thanks for listening! Check out our website SUBSCRIBE: to the show on Apple Podcast  or Google Play.

Folks, episode 79 comes out this Saturday! 1983s Deathstalker, with Candor Pastry Stout, generously provided by @courtavebrew. Check out Boris Vallejo's cover art. It's so cool. Back in the 80s, pre internet, this was click bait. You saw this at the video rental store and thought, Wow, this must be awesome. Then you rent it, watch it, and that scene never happens. This Conan wannabe built a following, but not for the reasons the filmmakers thought. It's a total hoot, and fun discussion. Candor is a thick Pastry Stout rested on Coconut, Pecan Sandies and cacao nibs. Join us this Saturday, you won't want to miss this one.  Thanks for listening!

 Episode 78 this Saturday, Trouble Man, with Manhattan Beach Hazy IPA, which was kindly provided by our pals at @culturebrewingco_la. Mr. T is a neighborhood fixer. He's cool, smooth, dresses like a champ and takes no crap from nobody. When a couple of gangsters try to set him up, you can imagine how that goes for them. It also rocks a fantastic film score from Marvin Gaye, so you know this one doesn't miss. We paired it up with a local beer teeming with fruity flavor, which only made sense, because Trouble Man takes place all over the Los Angeles area. Culture Brewing really nails it with this hazy IPA. Bring your finest suit and favorite beverage for this on. Thanks for listening! Check out our website SUBSCRIBE: to the show on Apple Podcast  or Google Play.

This Saturday episode 77 crashes onto the podcast. 1948's He Walked by Night, with Tag Grapefruit Wheat from @lionbridgebrew. Is this a film noir, or a police procedural? We have our opinions about this gritty picture based on a true story. Richard Basehart is a nogoodnik cruising the streets of Los Angeles, burgling and killing, while the police use state of the art methods to track him. Joe Friday himself, Jack Webb, was so inspired by his participation in this one that it led to the creation of Dragnet. We paired it up with Tag, a beer inspired by German Radlers: fruity, sweet, and refreshing. Hang with us through the week, then dig the episode Saturday Thanks for listening!

Stuart Gordon's over the top Lovecraft adaptation Re-Animator, with the delicious Black Lager, which was kindly provided by the friendly folks at @clockhousebrewing. What can we say that hasn't been said about this one. Herbert West is a slightly disturbed young medical student with one goal: bring the dead back from the point of no return. Nothing could possibly go wrong, right? Jeffrey Combs owns this character. He carries a brilliant combination of confidence, arrogance and deeply disturbed psychosis. We paired it up with one of our favorite styled, the black lager. Dark and roasty, and wonderfully drinkable, it teams up great with the black humor woven into this gory, wild picture.

Folks, episode 75 is a fun one. 1981's Dead and Buried, with Lights Out Black IPA, which our friends at @farfieldbeer in Lawndale gave us. A zombie/Lovecraftian picture set in the fictional Northeast town of Potters Bluff, it stars James Farentino as the local sheriff investigating some mysterious deaths. There's all manner of weirdness in this little town, and director Gary Sherman creates an atmosphere of dread throughout. Special effects legend is set loose to do some really fun stuff, too. Dan O'Bannon is credited with co-writing it, but that's questionable. To go with the dark, bleak story we have an often overlooked style of beer, the black IPA.

Episode 74 is headed your way, pedal to the metal. 1982's The Junkman, with a couple beers generously provided by our Midwest friends at @potosibrewingco. H.B. Halicki, the action auteur who never met a car he didn't crash, basically plays himself, and gets hounded all over Central California by assassins in cars and planes. It's thin on plot, but who cares, it's all about crashing cars and fun stunts. Paired with this are two beers: River Rocker Funday IPA and Cave Ale Amber. Dial us in this Saturday for the episode.

New episode this Saturday! 1946's eerie psychological horror picture The Beast With Five Fingers, paired up with a flight of three beers from the generous folks at @bhbc. Robert Alda, Andrea King and Peter Lorre star in this one about a piano maestro who dies, and the return of his severed hand for revenge from the grave. Or is it? It keeps you guessing right up until the end. We have a Standard Ale, blonde Ale and Strawberry Daze, a blonde ale with strawberries. It's atmospheric horror from the golden era, so be sure to join us.  Thanks for listening! Check out our website SUBSCRIBE: to the show on Apple Podcast  or Google Play.

Episode 71 drops this Saturday! 1971's The Blood on Satan's Claw, with a trio of beers provided by our friends at @portbrewing. It's 18th century rural England, and something monstrous has been tilled up in a field. Now, the local children have become a murderous band, collecting bodies and samples of Satan's Skin for their master. To pair with this lighthearted romp, we Wipeout and High Tide, two IPAs, and Mongo double IPA from a fun excursion to San Marcos. Be sure to join us for another trip into folk horror.

Billy Jack, episode 71, with The 4 Year Beer, from @foursilosbrewery. Tom Laughlin starred, directed and wrote, along with his wife Delores the story of Billy, a Vietnam vet who retreats back to his desert roots, trying to leave society behind, but drawn to protect a school for troubled youths. Billy's not much for diplomacy, preferring to let his feet do the talking. It's early 70s message movie paired with a crushable session IPA celebrating a four year anniversary from Four Silos, out of Arizona. Thanks for listening!

Episode 70 blasts off! Beyond the Time Barrier, with Vice Apricot Peach Berliner Weisse @wildbarrelbrewing kindly provided. This 1960 scifi adventure tells the story of a pilot who accidentally finds himself 64 years in the future, to 2024. Earth is a barren wasteland due to nuclear testing that destroyed the protective layer around the planet, allowing cosmic radiation to bombard the surface. Most of the population fled for Mars, and the rest moved underground. We paired it with this tart, fruity, delicious beer from Wild Barrel, out of San Marcos. A good time was had by all.

This week we're swinging into swashbuckling territory, with 1954's The Saracen Blade, and Toasted Coconut Porter that @jubeck_brewing generously provided. Episode 69 gives us Ricardo Montalban as Pietro, the swaggering hero, born a common man, who seeks nothing but revenge against those who've wronged him. Director William Castle, known more for gimmicky Sci fi/horror, helms this attempt to cash in on the sweeping epics of the time, and we're pairing it with a sweet, roasty porter that goes down smoothly. We're talking swords, romance and Carolyn Jones.  Thanks for listening! Check out our website SUBSCRIBE: to the show on Apple Podcast  or Google Play.

This Saturday, episode 68 drops, and it's a fun one. Q: The Winged Serpent, Larry Cohen's 1982 monster picture/police procedural, with Q barrel aged Stout, kindly provided by @ogopogobrewing. There's a monster flying around New York eating folks, and the only person who knows where it lives is a small time crook with less than zero scruples. Michael Moriarty, David Carradine and Richard Roundtree are all in fine form, and so is this Stout, which is aged for 11 months in Woodford Reserve and Heaven Hill barrels. Watch the skies, because Q is out there.  Thanks for listening! Check out our website SUBSCRIBE: to the show on Apple Podcast  or Google Play.

This week we wrap up October with another horror movie, 1978's weird, freaky Blue Sunshine, with Landlocked Blues Sour, a collaboration from @backpocketbrewing and @morebrewing, which the fine folks at @backpocketdbq were kind enough to provide. People are suddenly losing their hair and freaking out. And by freaking out, they savagely attack and murder other people. After being wrongly accused of murdering three women, Jerry Zipkin goes on the run to prove he's innocent. This leads him to Ed Flemming, who was selling Blue Sunshine acid at Stanford 10 years prior. Ed is also an ascending star in the world of politics. The beer is inspired by the Blue Hawaiian cocktail, with pineapple, orange puree, and toasted coconut, with blue spirulina for the unique color. Saturday is going to be a party, so join us.

It's zombies, zombies, zombies! Episode 66 is a new special episode, Zombies, with a trio of tasty beers provided by our friends at @potosibrewingco. Zombie movies have been around forever, and like most of you, we're huge fans. Slow walkers or runners, supernatural or created by science, we're trying to cover as much as we can, with the help of Lux Premium Lager, Steamboat Shandy and Snake Hollow IPA. Zombies, Beer and October, what could be better? Join us Saturday.  Thanks for listening! Check out our website SUBSCRIBE: to the show on Apple Podcast  or Google Play.

Our new episode, The Dunwich Horror, with NoHo BoHo Czech Style Pilsner, kindly given to us by North Hollywood's @lawlessbeer drops this Saturday. H.P. Lovecraft's insane story gets the Roger Corman/AIP treatment in this 1970 horror picture that kicks off shOctober. Dean Stockwell is Wilbur Whateley, the shunned weirdo of the shunned Whateley clan of Dunwich. And honestly, he should be shunned. He wants to open a portal to bring "The Old Ones" into our dimension, which ain't gonna be good for us. Wilbur and his twin are the product of an obscene coupling, with Wilbur getting the looks. Sandra Dee, trying to shed her goody goody image, comes along as the object of Wilbur's desire and disturbed plans. It's weird, trippy and freaky, and we paired it with a clean, refreshing, quaffable Pilsner from Lawless. It seems a good pairing, what with the lawlessness of those rascally Whateley's.

1965's dark neo noir Who Killed Teddy Bear, with four tasty beers @prbrewing, from Decorah, IA gave us. Sal Mineo is a disturbed young man peeping and making vulgar phone calls to his coworker. The menace escalates, a lot of topics that were taboo at the time are examined, and the ending is definitely not happy. Fortunately, we have four beers to ease us along: B.T.O. Amber Bock, Plomme Saison, Catchin' a Buzz Kölsch and Upper Iowa Common. Tune in Saturday. Thanks for listening! Check out our website SUBSCRIBE: to the show on Apple Podcast  or Google Play.

We're back in the comforting waters of AIP this Saturday, with episode 63, The Brain Eaters, with Peach Dreams Milkshake IPA from our good friends at @textilebrews. A mysterious cone pops up outside the quiet town of Riverdale, IL, and at the same time animals are turning up dead, citizens go missing, then return acting very strange, and the government sends epic blowhard Walter K. Powers to suss out the doings. It's the Red Scare era, so the subtext of Communist Russia hangs over everything. We paired it with an IPA featuring peach, a touch of vanilla and lactose. It's peaches and cream in a can. Oh, and Leonard Nimoy (misspelled "Nemoy" in the credits) has a small role.  Thanks for listening!

We're doing another "nature run amok" film this Saturday, with episode 62, 1980s Alligator, with Crack That Wit, from @whittierbrewingco. A little girl has a pet alligator that her grump of a father flushes down the toilet. Flash forward 10 years, and that little rascal has been feasting on animals pumped full of weird chemicals from the Slade corporation. And it's over 30 long and angry. Angry. It's up to Det. David Madison to save the day. It's smart, funny, with nice scares. John Sayles penned the story, so you know it's going to be good. We paired it up with a Wit Bier that has an added twist: a bit of ginger. It's another fun episode we had a blast making.   Thanks for listening!

We are back this Saturday with episode 61, 1977's Kingdom of the Spiders, with Tarantula Hill IPA, generously provided by @tarantulahillbrewingco, from Thousand Oaks. Part of the "nature runs amok" sub-genre of the 1970s, spiders up their game after humans have killed most of their natural prey with pesticides. So, they descend on peaceful Verde Valley and start taking down larger animals: like full grown bulls. You can tell by the poster you're in for some epic William Shatner acting. We found one of our most perfect pairings in this tight, delicious IPA from Tarantula Hill.  Thanks for listening! Check out our website SUBSCRIBE: to the show on Apple Podcast  or Google Play.

Herschell Gordon Lewis's 1967 picture Something Weird, with Saturday Night Pants wheat ale and 1923 kölsch generously provided by our friends at Millstream Brewing in the Amana Colonies. A Faustian bargain is made, a serial killer is tracked in Wisconsin, and there's even a ghost haunting a church. It's Herschell Gordon Lewis, so it's cheap and weird, but the beer is great! Join us.

This Saturday, 1988's The Undertaker, with X-Ray Specs, from @strandbrewingco. Joe Spinell, in his final role, stars as Roscoe, the truly unnerving killer in this lost, never finished film. Roscoe's motives are never really clear, but the body count keeps growing. We paired this with a creamy stout, brewed with coconut and cocoa nibs, that Strand generously provided for the episode.

This Saturday, episode 58, The City of the Dead drops, with Weekend Escape West Coast IPA from @smogcitybeer and @topatopabrewingco. A witch is burned at the stake in 1692, and curses the villagers that did it. Flash forward to 1960, and Christopher Lee directs one of his students to Whitewood, Mass to continue her studies. Bummer for her that the village is populated by a coven of Witches. It's eerie, creepy stuff, paired with a light, easy drinking west coast IPA Smog City generously provided.  Thanks for listening!

This Saturday, 1944's The Uninvited, with Castle Dangerous from @yorkshiresquarebrewery. A beautifully shot haunted house tale with dark family history thrown in, paired with a rich, deep, dark stout generously provided by Yorkshire Square, out of Torrance, we're going to the shores of Cornwall and a very troubled house.

Wild in the Streets is up next. Episode 56, this Saturday, paired with Confuzzled Wild Ale with Mango, Guava and Pineapple, from @cellador_ales. Max Frost is a powerful, groovy young singer and entrepreneur, with a bold idea. Lower the voting age to 14, make 30 mandatory retirement and ship everyone off to camps to be dosed with LSD at 35. The hippie utopia takes a really bizarre turn in this 1968 counterculture musical, and we paired it up with a bright, flavorful beer kindly provided by Cellador, a wild ale drinkers utopia.

Boy, oh boy, do we have a fun one this Saturday. Episode 55, and it's 1978's Starcrash, with Unlikely Couple DIPA, a collaboration from @tortugobrewing and @amarokbrewing. This unabashed ripoff of Star Wars has Caroline Munro, Christopher Plummer, and David Hasselhoff. The beer, generously provided by the fine folks at Tortugo, is a smooth, fruity west coast double that matches up with the silly fun of watching the actors deliver some truly odd lines with straight faces. Christopher Plummer, man, he said yes to this. Join us Saturday.  Thanks for listening! Check out our website SUBSCRIBE: to the show on Apple Podcast  or Google Play.

New episode alert! The Big Clock, with Royal Eddy Imperial Hazy IPA provided by @biggrovebrewery is out this Saturday. This film noir casts Ray Milland as George, a man running the Crimeways division of Janoth Publications. He's tasked with finding a murderer, and the man suspected of being the murderer? George. His boss, Earl Janoth, played by the incredible Charles Laughton, really wants this guy found before the police find him. Something's up here. Great, tense drama keeps you glued to your seat. And we paired it with a delicious beer Iowa's Big Grove was generous enough to give us. It's an episode you don't want to miss.  Thanks for listening!

This episode, get swept away to an exotic locale with 1952's Macao, with Van Ice American Lager generously provided by @vannuysbeerco and @macleodale. Not even the star power of Robert Mitchum and Jane Russell could make this a hit, but for us it's all about watching these two legends playing it smooth and sexy. The convoluted plot is simply window dressing. We chose an easy drinking lager packed with flavor because it seems like something Mitchum would drink, and just the kind of refreshing beverage one would enjoy in sweltering Macao.   Thanks for listening!
