Buzzed Candid & Critical

Can Shrek 2 be in the same breath as some of the greatest sequels of all time? Find out what we think. After a long hiatus due to festival season, we attempt to ease back into our schedule with a fun, light hearted, comedic gem. Just remember: it’s what on the inside that counts. But if you can be beautiful, be beautiful! (Jk). This episode was fueled by Modelos’ Aguas Refrescas, a spiked version of traditional aguas frescas that we all love so much and admire during the warmer seasons.

Soooooomebody once told us this podcast was gonna roll us, we aren’t the sharpest tools in the shed. The iconic Shrek is finally on the podcast. We paired this episode with Monsters’ Nasty Beast Tea clocking in at a 6% ABV that got us real silly.

Keeping it in theme with Valentines and romance, Beto chose a movie he hadn’t even seen himself yet: “Past Lives.” Similar to “Blue Valentine”, it explores themes that, although aren’t overdramatized, are far too real to ignore. It won’t make you cry, but you might sulk for a while if you’ve experienced what Nora and Hae Sung have gone through. We paired this episode with High Noon Vodka Seltzers, clocking in at a light, but delicious 4.5% ABV.

Happy(?) early Valentine’s Day! Everything you thought about love was wrong, and this movie is here to tell you why! Milo chose what he thought was a really sad movie and it really is a sad movie; it is a movie that happens every day. People fall in and out of love and we talk about why it was an interesting decision to show the parallels of people falling in and out of love. We paired this episode with Arizona Spiked Beverages that were a delight to try out. Stay up to date with us on Instagram: @buzzedcandidandcritical.

After a long hiatus, the boys are back in town and boy, does it feel good. Bryan’s movie has been marinating in our minds for the last few months and we did not hold back because after all, we are CRITICAL, but it’s all in good fun. We look forward to recording and posting new episodes regularly! We paired this episode with a mixed variety 12 pack of Happy Dad Seltzer’s. Keep up to date with us on IG: @buzzedcandidandcritical

Witness me! We took a ride down to Valhalla, but unfortunately, are still mediocre. We talked about George Miller’s 4th installment in the Mad Max series: an absolutely amazing dystopian, action movie with a killer score, beautiful landscape scenes and some crazy stunts and car chases! Chris had been sitting on talking about this one since the podcast was conceived and it did not disappoint. We talked about it over a Hofbräu Oktoberfestbier, a tasty and refreshing lager clocking in at an unnoticeable 6.3%! IG: @buzzedcandidandcritical

Starting a new season off with a bang and a recent release! Beto chose this movie and what seemed on the surface as a run of the mill horror movie, ended up being a lot more than we expected as we did a deep dive. However, once made clear, most of us raved about how they effortlessly used horror tropes mixed with a good story blended with heavy themes of addiction amongst other things that are pretty relevant right now. We paired this with a whopping Voodoo Ranger Fruit Force clocking in at a high 9.5% ABV! @buzzedcandidandcritical

What happens when you get together some of the greatest minds of all time? You get this podcast. In all seriousness, however, this was the first movie the group watched together and it was the first movie not readily available to rewatch from home since it’s a recent release so this episode is the epitome of candidness (but also buzzed and critical). The new format fit this movie best, given it’s length and density in information and the fact that it’s based on history, but this was one of the funnest and most interesting episodes to date and it ranges from topics on the SAG AFTRA strike to the morality of Oppenheimer’s role in the Manhattan Project. This episode was fueled not only by White Claw’s Variety #1 pack, the pioneers of hard seltzer still at the top of their game and by Wing Stop’s Atomic wings (punintended).
