Cinemantics: A Podcast about Film, TV and Beer.

In Ep #59, the boys talk about one of the worst worst movies of all time, The Emoji Movie (2017). There's lots of movies in the world that are so bad that they're good. Tony & Eddie want to be clear, this isn't one of them.

The Emoji Movie is listless, lacks focus, has potentially some world building opportunity but it's squandered throughout. All that ends up leaving most likely even a very un-opinionated viewer with feelings of regret for hitting the play button.

This star studded cast delivers award nominated voice acting in an ultimately shallow film.

At least the beer was good.

This week the boys sampled brews from Sierra Nevada and Victory Brewing companies.

In Ep #58, Tony & Eddie dig deep into the grueling world of, The Revenant (2015). Leonardo Dicaprio's Academy Award winning role, they unanimously agree, was much deserved here. As well as the other accolades. There's so much to digest in this film (and they don't just mean buffalo liver either). Beautiful scenic imagery, shocking violence and perhaps some of the best villainy ever portrayed on film. It's a tough film to watch, however. Recommendations are only to a select few, but as a piece of art...this movie is epic.

The boys drank new brews from Yard's Brewery and Founders Brewing Company.

In Ep #57 Tony & Eddie review Blade Runner 2049 (2017). The episode is slow, dense, beautiful and ambitious, but maybe not as much as the movie is those things. All of them, through the good, the bad and the (not ugly but...) asymmetrical. There's moments in this film that won't leave you. They'll cling to you pant leg, shirt sleeve or heart strings and you'll DRAG them about for weeks after the watch. The guys still aren't 100% sure about the movie. It almost demands a rewatch. They think you should check it out, but know what you're getting into first.

The boys also tried two new beers this week. One from 10 Barrel Brewing and another from Sierra Nevada Brewing Company.

Listen to this weeks episode to find out about the ups and downs, and also to get a "taste" of those beer reviews!

In Ep #56 Tony & Eddie review Netflix's Bright (2017). The both loved the film but in the end wanted a little something more. Well, that's what Eddie says, Tony seemed to enjoy the mysterious world that Will Smith in habits in this Fantasy-Action film. They're excited about sequel rumors/confirmations. They had a super fun time watching the flick for sure. Check out this week's episode to find out why!

This week the boys sampled brews from Long Trail Brewing and WoodChuck Cidery.

In Ep #55 Tony and Eddie take another, slightly less painful step on their Christmas Sequels journey. This week the boys shared some laughs and some beers while discussing, A Christmas Story 2 (2012). While they wouldn't exactly recommend the film to anyone, they didn't hate it. No, no. Not at all, really. If you'd like to find out why or your interested to hear their reviews on a few new brews from Breckenridge, Samuel Adams and Rivertowne breweries, it's all here waiting for you!

In Ep #54 Tony and Eddie take one for the team. This week they watched what could be the worst movie of all time. National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation 2: Cousin Eddie's Island Adventure(2003). If you loved the first film, don't watch this. If you love Christmas, steer clear. If you like comedy, it's not here. In fact, if you've got enough time to spend watching this movie, you should listen to this episode first. At least the beer was good. The boys tried a new brew from Deschutes and one from Erie Ale Works.

In Ep #53 Tony & Eddie start their condition their Christmas tradition for the second year in a row. This year, because it's their sophomore effort, there going to watch sequels of all the movies they watched during the Christmas season last year. First up is, Home Alone: The Holiday Heist...yes, there are 5 Home Alone films, people.

The boys disagree about pretty much everything in this episode. There's some arguing. Some swearing. Some intense criticism and some adamant praise.

The boys also tried beers from Abita & Erie Ale works breweries.

In Ep #52 Tony & Eddie are taken on a bonkers roller coaster ride through space, time, the edge of eternity and back. This week they watched Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets (2017). If you haven't seen this film - you should. Take our recommendation and watch it. Then come back and listen to us explain why this very bad movie is a very good movie. We sampled beers from Harpoon and Sierra Nevada this week as well. Come join us!

In Ep #51 the Cinemantics gents head out into the wilderness to test themselves against one of life's greatest foes - nature. Actually, none of that is true. Tony and Eddie just sit at home like always but they do discuss Jungle (2017), a Daniel Radcliffe indie film about being lost in the wilds.

Based on a true story, Jungle takes you from drug infused escapades to insanity and delirium, but does it do it well? Find out in this week's episode. This week the boys tried beers from Southern Tier and Dogfish Head breweries.

In this mini episode, the boys stay mostly on target as they delve into beers they've had and loved, and some beers they've not loved and were happy to lose. We talk Louis C.K., Spacey, Netflix's Big Mouth and of course we do Cinemantics pairings as well. This 'mini' episode has it all and we hope you enjoy it!
