Otherwise, give this a watch/listen because you're going to love it! And so check this out! We couldn't finish this in an hour! We are all in our feels and have so many ideas that PART TWO of our discussion will be released later in the week.

Beef, Wine & Shenanigans! We are back! After paying respects to our dearly departed, we launch into some thoughts on the country's political scene before jumping head first into the dark luxury that is this latest retelling of Anne Rice's Interview with a Vampire. It's everything you could possibly want and more! Teaser: Next week, the rest of the team will be ready to tackle Black Panther: Wakanda Forever! In the meantime, if you've see the film and need to get something off your chest, you can always slide in SVP''s Dms

We have been away for a bit, (And Kirk gives a great explanation as to why at the end.) But we come back with heat! Dragon Heat! We talk House of Dragons, Dungeons and Dragons and then we break down some Marvel and DC analysis that you are sure to love even if you disagree! The water is warm, jump in the BWS pool!

Marc Abbott fills us in on his journey into achievement before we start gushing over House of Dragons! Then after some meager attempts to keep it BLERD, we take an unexpected turn into SPORTS!! You heard it here first! BONUS points for the first person who posts the name of the Frankenstein movie SVP's joke is based in! #blackparts Cheers! The whole gang in back!!!

Beef, Wine & Shenanigans - Strangest Things - Some ridicule of a certain horrible president brings us to the fictional universes that Netflix provides call 'Stranger Things'. While we found season 4 entertaining, be warned that its a time suck the quality of which may not be duplicated easily. (We explain that remark). Also, expect a small film from us, (more on that in weeks to come). Lastly, we discuss She-Hulk rumors and PREY, the latest installment in the Predator franchise, (no not the hockey team!) Denise Tapscott Kirk A Johnson and Steven Van Patten are your hosts! Marc Abbott returns next episode!

After an obit that was way longer than the team would have liked, (RIP - Nichelle Nichols, Mary Alice, Bill Russel and our closer to home legend, Valjeanne Jeffers) Denise gives some thoughts on Jordan Peele's latest offering 'NOPE'. Lots of introspection follows as our listeners get to hear Kirk, Denise and SVP admit things most people don't know about either of them. This one will leave you thinking. Please join us

With Marc Abbott still on his quest for an MFA, Denise Tapscott, Kirk Johnson, and Steven Van Patten give their special brand of hot takes on the January 6th hearings as well as Jurassic World Dominion and Netflix’s newest contribution to the Resident Evil franchise. You’ll laugh, you’ll cry. Well maybe not cry! Get well, Cousin Donnie!

Warning: If you not Pro-Choice and have no problems with the recent rulings of the Supreme Court then you will definitely want to skip this episode. Beef Wine & Shenanigans is and always will be in favor of a woman's right to total body autonomy! To paraphrase rapper Craig Mack, you must be trying to get in the Guinness Book of World Records as the dumbest mother****er alive if you think the disenfranchised of America are not ready to fight you over this hypocritical, conservative BS! At the end we shout out some organizations who you can send your extra scratch to help out. You know, like #PlannedParenthood. Time to get mad and stay mad until human rights are protected for everyone!

While Marc Abbott is off world fighting aliens, Kirk A Johnson, Denise Tapscott and Steven Van Patten come together over the ashes of glory to expound on Obi-Wan, The Boys and cinema-related traumas! It's hilarious and dangerous! It's BWS, right now!

Marc Abbott Steven Van Patten Kirk A Johnson & Denise Tapscott have a few things in common! One is a deep love of the Star Wars Franchise and a strong dislike of racist fanboys and a lack of gun control. In this latest episode the Beef, Wine and Shenanigans team discusses both with fresh insights you've come to expect! Hit Play and Be Better, Dammit!

Beef, Wine & Shenanigans- We Kept It Joyful! Tonight we kept it to the entertainment and kept it cheerful tonight. Next week, I'm sure something will force us to get gloomy again, but tonight, get ready to laugh BWS style! Also, don't forget to buy some stuff for one of us! Podcasting aint free, you know!

First of all, give it up for L. Marie Wood for gracing BWS with her award-winning presence! The team got stuck going over the political scene of (the United States of Regression, before getting down to the business on her latest releases, particularly 'Black Hole.' Feel like spending some money? All sorts of goodies at the end of this episode!

The team is back from little hiatus after getting their Stokercon on. After a fun postmortem, we get into the terrorist attack that occurred in Buffalo, NY on May 14th. It's a serious and sad discussion, but sometimes, things need to be said. The good news is that there is a fantastic announcement at the end. Please join us!

Well, we were supposed to have a regular old BWS show talking about BWS things. Then, we somehow got on the topic of cancel culture and things literally went off the rails. We thought about editing for time, but then said, 'You know what? Let everyone get this behind the scenes look at us. That's what we think it will feel like. And yes, it's long, but you're not at the movies. Listen in spurts and marvel at our insights from the agreeable to the ridiculous.

After a brief tribute to Gilbert Gottfried Marc Abbott Denise Tapscott Kirk A Johnson and Steven Van Patten begin to tear into Moon Knight and a few other tidbits of nerd-dom! You don't want to miss this under any circumstances, especially if you are looking for a laugh and maybe a tear or two.

Kirk A Johnson wasn't feeling good (pray for a brother) so it was just Marc Abbott Denise Tapscott and Steven Van Patten trying to figure out what the hell happened at the Oscars AND why all of a sudden New York's mayor seems more concerned with the Brooklyn Net's scoreboard than COVID. Of course, without Kirk present and with the team having mistakenly fallen for the fake Chris Rock letter, we may very well have to circle back to the 'Slap Heard Around The World'. In the meantime, please enjoy!

he team starts of with a little debate over who is faster before jumping head first into thoughts on the latest Batman movie. *Spoiler Alert: We enjoyed it, we respected it, but we still managed to have fun at its expense! By the way, we waited for YOU to go see it, so if you haven't by now, you're f*cking up in life and you only have yourself to blame if we spoiled it for you!
