April 30, 2021 Episode 178: MORTAL KOMBAT (2021)
We're back! We took a long hiatus, but one thing helped us decide to come back: the new Mortal Kombat reboot. Being one of Martin's favorite franchises, we just had to take a look at the new R-rated film from director Simon McQuoid. Expect some nostalgic waxing about the original games, discussion on the film's storyline, groaning about this being more like an introductory lead-up to a sequel, and more! It's good to be back.
On this show, we have Beer Tree Brew Co.'s Virtuosity - Blood Orange, Mango, and Marshmallow, as well as Artisanal Brew Works' Warheads Extreme Sour Watermelon Hard Seltzer.

December 30, 2020 Episode 177: Festivus Series | JACK FROST (1997)
Our finale for Festivus Series 2020 comes with a caveat: it's a bad movie. The 1997 slasher movie Jack Frost does just about everything wrong, and it's not even so bad it's good; it does have, though, a quick Shannon Elizabeth nude scene, so that's something. We talk about the really lazy snowman design, the bad snow, the ridiculous genetic material science, and a whole lot more. We're also drinking Beer Tree's Virtuosity passionfruit dragonfruit marshmallow double NEIPA!

Edit: there was an issue with sequencing that threw the later part of the track off, this has been fixed as of 12/30.

December 21, 2020 Episode 176: Festivus Series | SCROOGED
Sorry our episode is a little late, we had remote technical difficulties due to weather. We're talking the Christmas classic Scrooged for this episode, A Christmas Carol for the '80s which sort of acts as a metacommentary for the Charles Dickens tale. We talk about Bill Murray's asshole character, Bobcat Goldthwaite as a disgruntled employee, our favorite ghost, and of course the value of 5 pounds of veal. We're also drinking a couple different beers on the show!

December 11, 2020 Episode 175: Festivus Series | BLACK CHRISTMAS (2019)
We had meant to cover this last Christmas and for multiple reasons, it just didn't work out. But on this episode we take a look at the most controversial remake of Black Christmas, the Sophia Takal version released by Blumhouse in 2019. This film got a lot of hate from the people that it criticizes: straight white males. It's no surprise, since it wears its feminist leanings on its sleeve, but this is a pretty inoffensive film for people to level their ire at. And it's not really that bad - it has some homages to the original film (and other horror movies), it has competent direction and some iconic cinematography, and its first 50 minutes are a treat. But we talk about where it goes wrong and what really got our goat (hint: fake snow). Remote episode, sorry for any issues.

December 04, 2020 Episode 174: Festivus Series | SILENT NIGHT
It is Festivus time once again! We've got four weeks of... ahem... great films on the way, and to start things off, we finally get to end our longstanding marathon of the Silent Night, Deadly Night series with the loose remake Silent Night! This is definitely not the same film as the original though it has a number of references. We talk about the poor man's actors within the film and the surprising amount of known names, Malcolm McDowell's performance, the interesting special effects, the incredibly dumb backstory, and more! Again, recorded remotely so apologies for any weird audio issues.

November 26, 2020 Episode 173: FIRST BLOOD
Our intention was to do a Thanksgiving movie for the special occasion, but First Blood ain't it. Instead, it's more of a Christmas-adjacent film, but we're not going to let that stop us from enjoying this Stallone classic. We talk about the bike chases, the PTSD, the Stallone memeable monologues, exposition dumps, and a conservative's worst nightmare. We're also drinking Druthers' Apple Cranberry Kolsch, perfect for the season!

November 14, 2020 Episode 172: FROM RUSSIA WITH LOVE
As a tribute to Sean Connery, we decided to tackle our first James Bond movie for the show, and Martin decided that the best one would be From Russia with Love. We talk about the spy plot, this Bond caper's tendency to lean serious rather than over-the-top, its context in the history of the Bond series, and a whole lot more! On this show, we're drinking Saranac's new Winter Warmer.

October 30, 2020 Episode 171: Reanimated VIII | SHAUN OF THE DEAD
We complete our Reanimated series by going full circle with zombie films. We've tackled the serious types of zombie films out there, and now we're taking a look at a parody of a zombie film with Shaun of the Dead. A classic in every sense and oft-quoted from our school days, the film effectively encapsulates a loving ode to zombie films by playing up their ridiculousness. We're talking our favorite scenes and quotes, the various zombie elements at play, the surprising seriousness of the climax, and a lot more. We also have Genesee Brewing's Twelve Horse Ale on the show.

October 23, 2020 Episode 170: Reanimated VII | WHITE ZOMBIE
We're throwing things back for a classic zombie film in this episode of the Reanimated series! We're talking about the first official zombie film White Zombie with Bela Lugosi, and of course we have to talk about the zombie/slave element, the acting, how the film holds up in contemporary context, and a whole lot more! Also, we are drinking Dogfish Head's Campfire Amplifier stout!

October 16, 2020 Episode 169: Reanimated VI | TRAIN TO BUSAN
We've already covered fast-moving infected for the Reanimated series, but this time they can actually be defined as zombies in Train to Busan. This Korean blockbuster from 2016 passed by both of us when it released, so we get to experience this one for the first time. We talk about the rules of the infection in the film, the comedy and emotional elements, the naivety of its characters, zombie effects, and a whole lot more! We're also talking Decadent Brewing's Apple Cinnamon Doughnut IPA.
