Episode 115 - The Twilight Series That Doesn't Suck

There is a sixth dimension beyond that which is known to sober men. It is a dimension as vast as a field of barley, and as timeless as Pabst Blue Ribbon. It is the middle ground between light beer and dark beer, between fermentation and intoxication, and it lies between the pit of a man's full bladder, and the summit of his novelty beer hat. This is the dimension of inebriation. Grab some Cranker's End Of The World IPA and join us in an area which we call The Buzzed Kill Zone!

Episode 114 - We had an AJA moment!

Directors Spotlight: Alexandre Aja

An “aha moment” is a point in time, event, or experience when one has a sudden insight or realization.

An “Aja moment” is a point in time, event, or experience when one has a knife suddenly dragged across their throat, a masonry saw suddenly pushed slowly through their rib cage, a giant rock suddenly smashed into their skull, or their head suddenly removed by an otherwise harmless credenza, and the realization that if they are in an Alexandre Aja movie, they’re pretty much screwed.

This week we grabbed some Kronenbourg 1664 Pale Ale, and turned our directors spotlight on Alexandre Aja and two of his films.

Episode 113 - The Buzzed Kill Countdown - Top 10 Twists

We’ve been at this for a couple years now. Week after week we watch the horror films that we adore so much. We pore over the details, and take in every nuanced intricacy, then we step into that studio, and the real fun begins. For hours we wax lyrical about the kills, the creatures, the blood and carnage, the actors, directors, and everything in between. Some may call us horror fanatics, but we have a secret..... Our favorite film genre is actually....... RUSSIAN ROMANTIC COMEDIES!!

WHAT A TWIST!!!

That’s right. Bet you didn’t see that one coming. Well, in honor of this bombshell twist that we just dropped on you, we grabbed some Twisted Tea, and counted down our top 10 favorite twists in the horror genre.

Episode 112 - Bad Brew: A Second Look at Halloween: Resurrection

A resurrection can be a good thing or a bad thing. It really kind of depends on what you’re resurrecting.

Your sweet old granny? Good.

The bear who killed your granny? Bad.

Your beloved pet? Could go either way. We’ve all seen Pet Sematary.

Jack the Ripper? Interesting for awhile, but ultimately bad.

You get the point. So, this week, in honor of the upcoming holiday and in honor of resurrection, we grabbed some Lagunitas Super Cluster Mega Ale, and we took a second look at the most reviled installment in the Halloween franchise, Halloween: Resurrection, to determine whether they made the right choice by bringing the series back from the dead, or if it should have been left in the dirt to decompose.

Also, to add to the fun we give our Spoiler Free thoughts on HALLOWEEN 2018, followed by a Spoiler review for everyone who has seen it. Let us know what you thought of the new movie. Cheers!

Episode 111 - Animated & Intoxicated

As men in our thirties, there are certain things that society tells us are inappropriate to do. Sure, maybe flaming bags of dog crap on a neighbors doorstep is a young man's game, and perhaps we're a little too old to regularly build blanket forts and have sleepovers, which our girlfriends, wives, and children are not invited to. However, the one thing we will never apologize for, at any age, is our love of cartoons. Admittedly, watching cartoons is not exactly the same as when we were younger, because we have traded in our sugar cereal and Ninja Turtle jammies for beer, bourbon, and matching Friday The 13th pajama sets (They're collectors items, and very classy), but the spirit of the act remains the same. Watching cartoons is just fun sometimes, so this week we decided to do just that. We grabbed some Batch 029 Cherry Limeade Sour from Nowhere In Particular Brewing Company, and discussed two animated features that might not exactly be intended for children.

Episode 110 - Tree's Company

Fall is in full swing once again, and there is no better place to spend our favorite time of year than right here in Michigan. The muggy summer heat gives way to cool, crisp, Autumn air, we take walks with a thermos of hot apple cider (most likely spiked), and we can finally trade in our uncomfortable summer clothes for our killer new Lululemon yoga pants, and Ugg boots, which by the way, all three of us look absolutely stunning in.

However, the one thing that brings people to Michigan from all over the country this time of year, is the changing of the colors. For a couple weeks every October, our millions of acres of lush green timberland, transform into a sea of fire that reaches across our entire state.

So, this week we decided to take another trip out to the forest to watch the colors change. Just in case we ran out of apple cider, we grabbed some Ghosts In The Forest American Wild Ale from The Lost Abbey, and headed out on one of our favorite hiking trails, which lead us to a tiny cabin in the woods that just happened to have a really nice tv and two forest themed horror movies. Weird how those things work out.

Episode 109 - Completely Uncaged!

Cage

/ noun

Anything that confines or imprisons

When Nicolas Kim Coppola decided to take up acting, he thought to himself, “I want my performances to pull people in, and trap them in the moment. I want them to be imprisoned by my virtuosity.”

And in a moment of pure brilliance he chose a surname that would let the world know that they would all be held captive in the light of his onscreen majesty. This is how the world came to know Nicolas Cage. At least that’s probably how it happened.

Whether you love him or hate him, there is no doubt that Nicolas Cage’s performances can leave a lasting impression. His crazy eyes, spastic movements, and penchant for epic freakouts can sometimes feel out of place in certain roles, but this week we discuss two movies where we couldn’t get enough of all of the above.

We grabbed some White Noise Imperial White IPA, a collaboration between Perrin and Cigar City Brewing Companies, and discussed two brand new genre flicks starring the Rage Cage.

Episode 108 - King Of The Castle, Rock

Well, here we are. Our month-long Stephen King Birthday Extravaganza is sadly coming to an end. It's been a lot of fun celebrating one of the most prolific names in the world of horror, although we will admit that we are a bit disappointed.

A whole month of birthday shoutouts, and Stephen didn't respond to a single tweet, instagram, or Facebook post. Not a single "thank you" for the dozens of birthday cards written in our own blood. Like, we get it, he's a busy guy and all, but most of the nights that we spent watching him from the bushes outside his house, he just sat there watching tv. We're not one's to hold a grudge, we just thought he'd show a little gratitude for the hair dolls and the dead cat that we left at his front door.

Whatever, we're over it. Just know, Stephen, that when you are ready to become best friends, we will be ready and waiting. Just turn around and give us the word. Seriously, just turn around... we will literally be right behind you.

*heavy breathing

Um, yeah so anyway, this week we wrapped up our celebration with some Cabernet Sauvignon from Castle Rock Winery, some Cage Radler from Victory Brewing, and we discuss the new King-inspired Hulu series, Castle Rock.

Episode 107 - The Numbers Of The Beast

Apophenia. It might not be a word you are familiar with, but you may have experienced the phenomenon at some point. It's the tendency to mistakenly perceive connections and meaning between unrelated things. Maybe you notice that whenever it rains, the numbers on your digital clock always seem to add up to the number 11, or maybe you see faces looking back at you every time you look at the woodgrain patterns on the walls of your parents house. It can make you feel like a crazy person, or on occasion, it can make you feel like you have a better understanding of the preternatural things that may be going on around us at all times.

This week, to continue celebrating the birth month of the Beast from the East, Stephen King, we decided to run the numbers a little bit, and see if we could find any patterns, since King himself is no stranger to the scrutinizing eyes of apopheniacs the world over.

Here's a little spoiler. We did find a pretty major pattern. We found that if we drink 312 Urban Wheat from Goose Island, and watch Stephen King movies, we always seem to have a good time. Weird.

Episode 106 - The King's Chariot

Last week we kicked off our Stephen King birthday bash the only way you can, with clowns... and harsh, scrutinizing, ridicule of a bunch of child actors. This week we keep the party rolling right along.

Speaking of rolling along, after the clowns, come the presents, and what better birthday gift is there then a brand new car? A beautiful, shiny, fast, spooky.. self-driving... blood-thirsty.... murderous car. What’s that? A murderous, blood-thirsty car doesn’t sound like it’s your speed? Well, you’re in the wrong place, pal. This week we grabbed some Green Goblin Oak Aged Cider and talked about a couple Stephen King car movies that make the Fast & Furious look more like the Somewhat Lethargic & Pretty Even-Tempered.

Start your engines. Cheers!!!
