From us to you, we hope you're doing well amidst all the weirdness in the world lately. We're keeping things as normal as possible and doing our best to keep this show on track- that said, theaters in our area our closed so we're covering some combination of movies available to stream, quality craft beer, and of course, our FHC Beer Madness Tournament updates. Our first beer is an imperial IPA from Slice Beer Co called Rollin' Broccoli. The second is a Russian Imperial Stout from Highland Park Brewery called Griffith J Griffith. Enjoy!

What a whirlwind of an episode! In addition to announcing our first-annual FHC Beer Madness Tournament, we drank two delicious beers from Urban Roots Brewing and Smokehouse (Sacramento, CA) and Perennial Artisan Ales (St. Louis, MO). The first is an imperial IPA clocking in at 8.7% featuring Citra, Mosaic, and Simcoe hops called "Bigger On the Inside." The second is a stout called "Coffee Stout" and comes in at a whopping 11.5% ABV. We also dissect the film adaptation (kind of) of the classic H.G. Wells novel "The Invisible Man." Plus, shout out to our friends at Dust Bowl Brewing for their tasty, new, year-round IPA "Peace, Love, & Haze." We manage to squeeze that in (pun intended) at the top of Hot & Bothered this week. It's definitely not one to miss!

New Episode! Trying to deal with some scheduling issues so NO TIMELINE FOR YOU.

We've missed a week, but don't fret! We're back with double the film content and plenty of boozy goodness to whet our whistles.

We kick off the show with a "Mega IPA" from Dust Bowl Brewing out of Turlock, CA called "Supine." Clocking in at 14.4%, Supine is about as hearty as IPAs come. Can it's robust 4-hop flavor profile withstand it's aggressive ABV? Afterwards, we jump headfirst into the true-story drama called "Just Mercy." It stars Michael B Jordan as attorney Bryan Stevenson in his journey to acquit wrongfully accused Walter McMillian in an Alabama murder case.

We then dive into a tasty little rye ale made by Cold Water Brewery in South Lake Tahoe called "Mr. Toad's Wild Rye," after which we discuss the feature-length directorial debut of Mati Diop with "Atlantics."

This week on the podcast we dissect the 2020 Academy Award nominations. We also revisit WWI with "1917," a film directed by Sam Mendes starring George MacKay and Dean Charles Chapman. An audacious undertaking headed by cinematographer Roger Deakins, "1917" tells the story of two soldiers delivering an incredibly important message- all in seemingly, one continuous shot. The first beer on the show is a self-proclaimed porter called "Café Olé" from Spanish brewery Ceveses Spigha. The second, a double IPA from Stone called "Fear. Movie. Lions."
