The Living Skeleton, comes out this Saturday. This Japanese tokusatsu horror picture is a true mystery to us. Pirates slaughter an entire ship of passengers for gold, only to be hunted down by a ghost three years later. Or is it a ghost? The twin sister of one of the victims might be the killer, but is she even alive? There's a real dreamlike quality to this one that draws you in, and we're thrilled and thankful to the kind folks at @absolutionbrewing for giving us four beers to pair up with this picture: Su-Do Pilsner, Cruisin' South Mexican Lager, 405 IPA and Thiol Dial Thiolized Hazy DIPA. It's a surreal journey into the afterlife, and a crime caper film rolled together.

Thanks for listening!

It's summer, so for episode 83 we're going with 1963s Beach Party, with Suburban Foam Blonde Ale, a unique collaboration between @hermosabrewingco and @descendents. When summer break arrives, Frankie and Dee Dee head to the beach for sun, surfing and, in Frankie's case, a little something more. What they and their friends don't know is Professor Sutwell, an anthropologist, is spying on them. This was not viewed as creepy at all. Hermosa Brewing was kind enough to provide their 5th Anniversary beer, an ideal beach brew that kept us in the zone for discussing this sweet, silly picture. Join us.

 Let's Scare Jessica to Death, paired with Bohemian Rapids Czech Pilsner, which the good people at @iowabrewingco gave us. A dreamlike horror tale from 1971, this picture is about a woman, recently hospitalized for an unexplained mental situation, who moves to a country farm with her husband and their friend. They encounter a free spirited hippie who may not be what she pretends to be. He'll, there's a debate whether she's even alive. Bohemian Pils was picked for the somewhat Bohemian lifestyle these folks live, and because it would be an ideal beer for crushing while working on their farm.

Episode 81 is stealthily creeping up on us. This Saturday, we're bringing the 1980s ninja sub genre to the podcast, with 1981s Enter the Ninja, paired up with Mediator Doppelbock, which the good people at @heaterallenbeer were kind enough to provide. Franco Nero stars as Cole, a white dude trained in the arts of the ninja, who helps his friends defend their farm from some bad dudes. Don't let the fact Nero doesn't know martial arts stop you from enjoying this action movie. We let the smooth, caramelly Doppelbock mediate the episode, and leave the shuriken at home.

This Saturday we're returning to the world of Lovecraft in episode 80, The Curse. Based on the classic story The Colour Out of Space, this picture tells the tale of a struggling family farm that is rocked when a strange object from space lands in a field one night. What at first seems like a godsend quickly turns into a living nightmare. To pair with this, we found Look Into the Air Hazy Pale Ale with Nelson Sauvin hops, which @luabrewing was kind enough to provide. It's a thrilling story that may or may not make a thrilling picture, but we have a great beer.

Folks, episode 79 comes out this Saturday! 1983s Deathstalker, with Candor Pastry Stout, generously provided by @courtavebrew. Check out Boris Vallejo's cover art. It's so cool. Back in the 80s, pre internet, this was click bait. You saw this at the video rental store and thought, Wow, this must be awesome. Then you rent it, watch it, and that scene never happens. This Conan wannabe built a following, but not for the reasons the filmmakers thought. It's a total hoot, and fun discussion. Candor is a thick Pastry Stout rested on Coconut, Pecan Sandies and cacao nibs. Join us this Saturday, you won't want to miss this one.

 Episode 78 this Saturday, Trouble Man, with Manhattan Beach Hazy IPA, which was kindly provided by our pals at @culturebrewingco_la. Mr. T is a neighborhood fixer. He's cool, smooth, dresses like a champ and takes no crap from nobody. When a couple of gangsters try to set him up, you can imagine how that goes for them. It also rocks a fantastic film score from Marvin Gaye, so you know this one doesn't miss. We paired it up with a local beer teeming with fruity flavor, which only made sense, because Trouble Man takes place all over the Los Angeles area. Culture Brewing really nails it with this hazy IPA. Bring your finest suit and favorite beverage for this on.

This Saturday episode 77 crashes onto the podcast. 1948's He Walked by Night, with Tag Grapefruit Wheat from @lionbridgebrew. Is this a film noir, or a police procedural? We have our opinions about this gritty picture based on a true story. Richard Basehart is a nogoodnik cruising the streets of Los Angeles, burgling and killing, while the police use state of the art methods to track him. Joe Friday himself, Jack Webb, was so inspired by his participation in this one that it led to the creation of Dragnet. We paired it up with Tag, a beer inspired by German Radlers: fruity, sweet, and refreshing. Hang with us through the week, then dig the episode Saturday

Stuart Gordon's over the top Lovecraft adaptation Re-Animator, with the delicious Black Lager, which was kindly provided by the friendly folks at @clockhousebrewing. What can we say that hasn't been said about this one. Herbert West is a slightly disturbed young medical student with one goal: bring the dead back from the point of no return. Nothing could possibly go wrong, right? Jeffrey Combs owns this character. He carries a brilliant combination of confidence, arrogance and deeply disturbed psychosis. We paired it up with one of our favorite styled, the black lager. Dark and roasty, and wonderfully drinkable, it teams up great with the black humor woven into this gory, wild picture. Join us

Folks, episode 75 is a fun one. 1981's Dead and Buried, with Lights Out Black IPA, which our friends at @farfieldbeer in Lawndale gave us. A zombie/Lovecraftian picture set in the fictional Northeast town of Potters Bluff, it stars James Farentino as the local sheriff investigating some mysterious deaths. There's all manner of weirdness in this little town, and director Gary Sherman creates an atmosphere of dread throughout. Special effects legend is set loose to do some really fun stuff, too. Dan O'Bannon is credited with co-writing it, but that's questionable. To go with the dark, bleak story we have an often overlooked style of beer, the black IPA. Be sure to follow us as we build to this Saturday's release.
