Cinemantics: A Podcast about Film, TV and Beer.

In episode 149, Tony & Eddie continue their holiday hi-jinx with a review of the new Disney+ original, Noelle (2019).

Anna Kendrick and Bill Hader star in this refreshing new holiday flick that brings Christmas cheer, warmth and even some smart writing to the table. Kendrick is adorable here as the out of place, Noelle, searching for her brother (Hader) as he's fled the North Pole to avoid his birthright after their father, Old Saint Nick (yes the real one) has an untimely death. There's a great supporting class here. There's new takes on old holiday magic. There's adorable quips...and an annoying baby reindeer. There's a lot to love, but does it have it all? Will Noelle make it on Tony or Eddie's yearly Christmas much watch lists? Check out the episode to find out.

The boys also sampled new brews from Fat Head's Brewing and Founders. There's more holiday brew reviews at the end of this week's episode so stick around for those and the boys' Untappd app scores.

In episode 148, Tony & Eddie continue their third annual Christmas Extravaganza with another festive flick. This time, however, it's a holiday horror pick. Krampus (2015), stars Adam Scott as a middle-America dad that deals with not only some Christmas blues, but some terrible in-laws and of course - old St. Nick's estranged and evil counterpart, Krampus. This movie has some excellent and not very not excellent creature design. It's got a great cast. A refreshing take on some holiday troupes and some genuinely scary and genuinely funny moments. However, does it have that ever sought after "Holiday Classic" potential? You'll have to listen to this week's episode in order to find out.

The boys also sampled two new brews of course. Eddie had Narwhal by Sierra Nevada and Tony sipped on a Snowflyer porter from Rusty Rails. For their full beer review and their Untappd ratings of these brews, stick around for the end of the episode.

In episode 147, Tony & Eddie sit down to talk about the newest Netflix's original Christmas film, Klaus (2019). Over the years we've found out that it's difficult to create a Christmas classic. At least one that's recognizable as such in the beginning. So, that's the big question this week - does Klaus have enough holiday magic to stand apart? Does the throwback animation-style tickle the fancy of Christmas lovers everywhere? Is there enough joy here to keep it bright for season to come? Find out in this week's episode.

The boys also sampled new brews from Lock Street Brewing and Troegs Independent Brewing Company. Stick around until the end of the episode to hear our detailed brew reviews and to hear what we score them on the Untappd app.

In episode 146, Tony & Eddie sit down to talk about an oldie - but is it a goody? The 1978 George Romero cult-classic favorite, Dawn of the Dead was a film that changed the genre. Critics like Ebert gave this film 4/4 stars when it was released. Many other critics called it the "best horror film ever made" at the time. Most of us know that it's a film that received high praise - but how has it aged? Does it still deliver a stellar story with gore, struggle and does its social commentary ring true today? Listen to this week's episode to find out.

The boys also reviewed two new beers this week. Iron City Beer Premium Lager can actually be spotted in this film, so Eddie found that and gave it a whirl. Tony's choice, a little more distinguished, was a Nitro Creme Brulee from Southern Tier.

In mini episode 145, Tony & Eddie sit down to review a holiday brew. Troegs, Mad Elf. For the boys, Mad Elf is one of the original holiday brews. One of the original big boys on the ABV level. One of the original greats. But has it stood up over the years? How much nostalgia is at play here?

We also talk about the hot new streaming content subscription, Disney+. If you're thinking about getting Disney+ and you needed to hear to idiots discuss it first - we've got the perfect episode for you!

We'll do a full beer review of Mad Elf at the end of the show via the Untappd app. Merry early Christmas, Cinefantics!

In episode 144, Tony & Eddie sit down to talk about the newest installment of our favorite wall crawler - you guessed it. This week we're talking Spiderman: Far From Home. The boys loved Tom Holland's first run as the spectacular high-schooler, but does the sequel follow in those footsteps? Tom Holland is still here delivering his adorable portrayal, but we've got a new location, new villain, and of course - no more snappy dialogue with Tony Stark. The question is - do these changes take us in a good new direction? Or a bad one?

The boys also sample two new beers this week. Tony samples a local brew from Lavery Brewing and Eddie has a new cream ale from New Belgium.

Check out this week's episode for detailed reviews of the brews and the film.

In episode 144, Tony & Eddie sit down to talk two new beers but skip the movie review.

Well, folks - It's time to switch gears from spooky season to Thanksgiving and Christmas and in this week's episode the boys talk about their family seasonal traditions. Everything from cranberry sauce with/without the can bumps to whether or not you like you stuffing in-bird or Stove Top brands.

Check out this week's episode and tell us how you like your holidays too look!

In episode 142, Tony & Eddie talk about the reboot of the 1988 Child's Play. This power-cast sets the bar high at the gate. But is there enough there to push the admittedly hokey premise into the realm of viable? Speaking of hokey premise - this is a radical new take on the evil doll - does the Amazon-ish ecosystem presented in this movie highlight real fear that the people of the world are truly worried about or does it fall flat?

So many questions to be answered here. So many jokes to be told. Check out this week's episode for the full review.

Speaking of spooky season, Tony sampled a new pumpkin beer from Southern Tier. Pumking Nitro is a new variant on an ultra popular fan-favorite. Eddie tries a new IPA from Hi-Wire Brewing. Does it fit his now-standard IPA criteria?

All that and more is in this week's Scary Spooky Halloween finale! Check it out.

In episode 141, Tony & Eddie sit down to talk about the directorial debut form Josh Lobo - I Trapped the Devil (2019). That's right folks - it's another scary flick for the spooky October season. This one maybe have flown under the radar for most. The question is - should it have?

I Trapped the Devil is a flick about an estranged brother with a history of mental illness who claims to have barricaded the devil in his basement when his brother and sister-in-law drop in for a holiday visit. Is he crazy? Is the voice behind the door a man, or something more sinister? These are the questions the audience is left to answer on their own.

The boys also sampled new brews from Sly Fox Brewery and Puhaste Brewing.

Find out more about the movie, get the boy's reviews on the Cinemantics rating scale and listen to their full brew reviews along with their Untappd ratings in this week's episode!

In episode 140, Tony & Eddie get into the holiday spirit (the spooky holiday spirit) as they review The Dead Don't Die (2019). This movie packs a hell of cast. There's star power for days - but how about plot power? With all that talent - is this flick character driven? What about aesthetics - are they grim and dreary but with poignant poise?

Those questions and many more will be answered in this weeks film review. Check it out!

Have you heard about "white stouts"? Are you a fan? Do you hate them? How about these current and timely Oktoberfest season - do you love this time of year?

This week Eddie samples a New Holland Dragon's Milk White. Tony got his hands on a Fat Heads G'Suffa. Check out this week's episode to see what they thought and you'll also see what they score the beers on the Untappd app.
