Yeah yeah. We know that some of your favorite film podcasts are covering the likes of "Frozen II" or "A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood." Go listen to them for that coverage. We decided we wanted to give "Ford v Ferrari" the attention it deserves (or maybe doesn't depending on who you are." We also dive into the telling of the story of Rudy Ray Moore, the man behind the Blaxploitation icon Dolemite with the Netflix-released "Dolemite is My Name." Our first beer is from Temescal Brewing (Oakland, CA) that Jonny picked up at a bottle shop/taproom in Roseville called Final Gravity. The beer? "Spooky Puppy: Mangoe." It's a fruity hazy IPA that's 6.2% abv. Our second is a potentially contaminated aged old ale from Founder's Brewing (Grand Rapids, MI) called "Curmudgeon's Better Half."

This week on the show we dissect a veritable sequel to the 1980 Kubrick film "The Shining." "Doctor Sleep" is a film that no one needed but one that Stephen King REALLY wanted. Does a faithful translation from book to movie do it any favors or should this story have remained locked up in the pages of it's source material? Our first beer is a seasonal release from Deschutes (Bend, OR) called "Marionberry Lavender Sour." It's easy-drinking and refreshing but leaves a little to be desired. Our second is an imperial stout called "Wake Up Dead" from Left Hand Brewing (Longmont, CO). What the hell does Jonny mean when he says "south mouth?"

With Halloween in our rearview, we put away the fictional monsters - the vampires, ghosts and ghouls - and set our sights on real monsters; slave owners in Pre-Civil War America. "Harriet" tells the story of slave-turned-abolitionist Harriet Tubman. We discuss the merits of the story, the telling, and the factuality of the first feature-length (WHAT? HOW?) film about an iconic woman in American history. Per usual, our conversation is fueled by two exciting craft beers. The first is an 8.25% wine barrel-aged pilsner called Intinction from Russian River Brewing from Santa Rosa, CA. The second is a pale ale from Abomination Brewing based out of New Haven, Connecticut called Urayuli which clocks in at 6.3% abv.

One can dream of the day a Quentin Tarantino film is released with the hopes of catching it in all it's glory in a proper movie theater.

What a week! We cover a lot on this episode. Catching up on Disney remakes (This week is the Lion King) has never been an easy task but perhaps the artistic vision of “The Last Black Man in San Francisco” will make up for it.
