Beef, Wine & Shenanigans

Marc Abbott Steven Van Patten Kirk A Johnson & Denise Tapscott have a few things in common! One is a deep love of the Star Wars Franchise and a strong dislike of racist fanboys and a lack of gun control. In this latest episode the Beef, Wine and Shenanigans team discusses both with fresh insights you've come to expect! Hit Play and Be Better, Dammit!

Beef, Wine & Shenanigans- We Kept It Joyful!

Tonight we kept it to the entertainment and kept it cheerful tonight. Next week, I'm sure something will force us to get gloomy again, but tonight, get ready to laugh BWS style! Also, don't forget to buy some stuff for one of us! Podcasting aint free, you know!

First of all, give it up for L. Marie Wood for gracing BWS with her award-winning presence!

The team got stuck going over the political scene of (the United States of Regression, before getting down to the business on her latest releases, particularly 'Black Hole.' Feel like spending some money? All sorts of goodies at the end of this episode!

Well, we were supposed to have a regular old BWS show talking about BWS things. Then, we somehow got on the topic of cancel culture and things literally went off the rails. We thought about editing for time, but then said, 'You know what? Let everyone get this behind the scenes look at us. That's what we think it will feel like. And yes, it's long, but you're not at the movies. Listen in spurts and marvel at our insights from the agreeable to the ridiculous.

After a brief tribute to Gilbert Gottfried Marc Abbott Denise Tapscott Kirk A Johnson and Steven Van Patten begin to tear into Moon Knight and a few other tidbits of nerd-dom! You don't want to miss this under any circumstances, especially if you are looking for a laugh and maybe a tear or two.

Kirk A Johnson wasn't feeling good (pray for a brother) so it was just Marc Abbott Denise Tapscott and Steven Van Patten trying to figure out what the hell happened at the Oscars AND why all of a sudden New York's mayor seems more concerned with the Brooklyn Net's scoreboard than COVID.

Of course, without Kirk present and with the team having mistakenly fallen for the fake Chris Rock letter, we may very well have to circle back to the 'Slap Heard Around The World'. In the meantime, please enjoy!

his week, Denise Tapscott, Marc Abbott, Kirk A Johnson, and Steven Van Patten put the nerd stuff aside and talk about the current wishy-washy way local and federal politicians are rolling back COVID restrictions and our reservations about it.

We also discuss how even though we are dead set against Russia's attack on Ukraine, we are also pretty appalled at the racism at the Ukraine border.

Also, along with www.speculativefictionacademy.com, we figured tonight would be a great night to remind you of the following websites and maybe help support this podcast since it is your favorite and all!

Denise Tapscott joins the team to announce that she is officially ON THE TEAM! Expect to see Denise with Marc Abbott Kirk A Johnson and Steven Van Patten in every episode moving forward. (Pending work and family emergencies of course.)

Discussions Include: Why is there an armored racist in 'The Peacemaker' during Black History Month, props to President Zelensky, (recorded before we found out Black people aren't being allowed to evacuate safely from the war zone or that would have been handled), and a great game to send of Black History Month 2022. And no, it's not Name That Racist, but you might learn something anyway. We're having fun dammit! Join us!

Marc Abbott takes the floor to give us an in-depth look at the sequel to 'The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Then we talk about a movie one of us is actually in. After that, the usual speculative conversation you'd expect from the team. Get a notepad out, the recommendations are coming.
