Episode 98: Prophecy

Beer and B-Movies reaches its 100th episode. I'll be covering a number of topics from the first 99 episodes, from favorite movies to forgettable, awful, and dumb movies. But I have to shout out all the breweries that have contributed their products to episodes. And for this one, I have the Big Chef, a barrel aged Barleywine, provided by the great folks at Court Avenue Brewing. Thank you for the support, it's much appreciated.

Sam Raimi detonated onto the horror scene in 1981 with this grueling, wild picture, starring the man himself, Bruce Campbell. The premise is simple: five friends go to a remote cabin in the woods to "party down," and happen upon the Necronomicon and a tape recorder. They unwittingly call forth all sorts of nastiness, and all hell breaks loose, literally. It's independent filmmaking at its finest. To pair with it, I chose Marshall D's Hefeweizen, which the good people at @allertonbrewing gave me. It's me, the movie and the beer this Saturday.

Prophecy, John Frankenheimer's 1979 eco-horror about pollution from a logging company in Maine creating mutant plant and wildlife, and an ornery EPA doctor investigating. There's a giant, lumbering mutant bear named Katahdin causing all sorts of trouble, and unintentional comedy. I paired it with Czech Dark Dark Lager, provided by the wonderful people at @fielddaybeer. It's a smooth, roasty, easy drinking beer that would go great with a Maine camping trip. Just avoid Katahdin. Join me and guest host Jon for the chat. 🍻 Check out the website SUBSCRIBE: to the show on Apple Podcast  or Google Play.

The Beer & B-Movies Podcast returns with 1991's I Bought a Vampire Motorcycle, and four beers generously provided by my good friends at @threeweavers. This British comedy horror picture was picked by guest host Jon, and it's something else. A satanic cult is ambushed by some cross bow toting bikers, and in the ensuing melee a motorcycle is possessed by a vampiric demon. Say no more, I'm in. Three Weavers gave us Goldie lager, Cape Weather altbier, Dark & Jammy sour and Cambodian Cowboy Cambodian coffee inspired stout to pair with this one, and it's all a good time.

In celebration of the season we're covering Bob Clark's 1974 #slasher Black Christmas. Before Halloween, this terrifying picture laid out the blueprint for the modern slasher (if slasher movies are your bag, check out episode 34 of our podcast, a slasher special). A sick, sick individual is prank calling a sorority, and murdering the inhabitants. It's atmospheric, with a bit of dark humor, and some great camerawork. Thanks for listening!

Episode 95 wraps up #noirvember. The Big Combo, paired up with Radiant Beauty West Coast IPA, which was given to us by the wonderful people at @greencheekbeer. Joseph Lewis directed this gritty picture, with legendary Cinematographer John Alton providing some classic #filmnoir shots. But is it a pure film noir? That's debatable, and debate we do. The new episode drops this Saturday, so mark your calendars and join us.  Thanks for listening! Check out our website SUBSCRIBE: to the show on Apple Podcast  or Google Play.

We're starting #noirvember with episode 94, The Shanghai Gesture, Josef Von Sternberg's dreamlike tale of revenge from 1941. Known for its fantastic costumes, camerawork and performances, this was Sternberg's last directing job for a decade, until he made Macao (covered in episode 53). What are we pairing it with? East L.A. IPA, a crisp, sharp, pine laden #ipa given to us by the good people of @angryhorsebrewing, out of #montebello.  Thanks for listening!

Episode 93 is a special episode to close our a special month. We're chatting all about Possession Movies! From The Exorcist to Christine, to all sorts of other types of possessions, it's a circuitous conversation, and we have a great beer for the episode. Vice Black Currant Berliner Weisse, from the generous folks at @wildbarrelbrewing. Thanks for listening! Check out our website SUBSCRIBE: to the show on Apple Podcast  or Google Play.

This Saturday! 1965's Die, Monster, Die!, with The Fog Knows Your Name Hazy IPA, given to us by Placentia's @junipermorganbrewing. Another adaptation of The Colour Out of Space, this finds Boris Karloff as the loony patriarch of a family cursed by a stone from outer space. The setting is changed from New England to England, and they slip a love interest in there, because that's what they do. The foggy English countryside pairs up wonderfully with this Hazy, fruity beer, as we get into the full October vibe. Set a reminder for our return this Saturday.  Thanks for listening!

The People Who Own the Dark, with Tip the Cow Cocoa Espresso Stout from @singlespeedbrewingco. Episode 90s picture starts like it's going to be some Pier Paolo Pasolini picture. Various government agents, scientists and an adventurer and drug smuggler (played by Paul Naschy). They love their pleasures extreme, and use the Marquis de Sade as their guide. The disturbing masks are never fully explained, but there are only like five guests at the drug fueled orgy, so they don't make much sense. Anyhoo, all they want to do is indulge their every desire, no matter how extreme. Spoiler alert: the nukes hit before they can get into it. We get into the delicious Milk Stout the awesome folks at SingleSpeed gave us, that's for sure.  Thanks for listening! Check out our website SUBSCRIBE: to the show on Apple Podcast  or Google Play.
