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 far ..read more

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.  Thanks for listening! C ..read more

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. Thanks for listening! Check o ..read more

 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 wit ..read more

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 ref ..read more

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 won ..read more

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 ..read more

Episode 74 is headed your way, pedal to the metal. 1982's The Junkman, with a couple beers generously provided by our Midwest friends at @potosibrewingco. H.B. Halicki, the action auteur who never met a car he didn't crash, basically plays himself, and gets hounded all over Central California by assassins in cars and planes. It's thin on plot, but who cares, it's all about crashing cars and fun stunts. Paired with this are two beers: River Rocker Funday IPA and Cave Ale Amber. Dial us in this Saturday for the episode.

New episode this Saturday! 1946's eerie psychological horror picture The Beast With Five Fingers, paired up with a flight of three beers from the generous folks at @bhbc. Robert Alda, Andrea King and Peter Lorre star in this one about a piano maestro who dies, and the return of his severed hand for revenge from the grave. Or is it? It keeps you guessing right up until the end. We have a Standard Ale, blonde Ale and Strawberry Daze, a blonde ale with strawberries. It's atmospheric horror from the golden era, so be sure to join us.  Thanks for listening! Check out our website SUBSCRIBE ..read more

Billy Jack, episode 71, with The 4 Year Beer, from @foursilosbrewery. Tom Laughlin starred, directed and wrote, along with his wife Delores the story of Billy, a Vietnam vet who retreats back to his desert roots, trying to leave society behind, but drawn to protect a school for troubled youths. Billy's not much for diplomacy, preferring to let his feet do the talking. It's early 70s message movie paired with a crushable session IPA celebrating a four year anniversary from Four Silos, out of Arizona. Thanks for listening!
