This Saturday, 1988's The Undertaker, with X-Ray Specs, from @strandbrewingco. Joe Spinell, in his final role, stars as Roscoe, the truly unnerving killer in this lost, never finished film. Roscoe's motives are never really clear, but the body count keeps growing. We paired this with a creamy stout, brewed with coconut and cocoa nibs, that Strand generously provided for the episode.

Wild in the Streets is up next. Episode 56, this Saturday, paired with Confuzzled Wild Ale with Mango, Guava and Pineapple, from @cellador_ales.

Boy, oh boy, do we have a fun one this Saturday. Episode 55, and it's 1978's Starcrash, with Unlikely Couple DIPA, a collaboration from @tortugobrewing and @amarokbrewing. This unabashed ripoff of Star Wars has Caroline Munro, Christopher Plummer, and David Hasselhoff. The beer, generously provided by the fine folks at Tortugo, is a smooth, fruity west coast double that matches up with the silly fun of watching the actors deliver some truly odd lines with straight faces.

New episode alert! The Big Clock, with Royal Eddy Imperial Hazy IPA provided by @biggrovebrewery is out this Saturday. This film noir casts Ray Milland as George, a man running the Crimeways division of Janoth Publications. He's tasked with finding a murderer, and the man suspected of being the murderer? George. His boss, Earl Janoth, played by the incredible Charles Laughton, really wants this guy found before the police find him. Something's up here. Great, tense drama keeps you glued to your seat. And we paired it with a delicious beer Iowa's Big Grove was generous enough to give us. It's an episode you don't want to miss.  Thanks for listening!

This episode, get swept away to an exotic locale with 1952's Macao, with Van Ice American Lager generously provided by @vannuysbeerco and @macleodale. Not even the star power of Robert Mitchum and Jane Russell could make this a hit, but for us it's all about watching these two legends playing it smooth and sexy. The convoluted plot is simply window dressing. We chose an easy drinking lager packed with flavor because it seems like something Mitchum would drink, and just the kind of refreshing beverage one would enjoy in sweltering Macao.   Thanks for listening!

This Saturday, 1973's The Baby, with Adult Nap Time Pecan Porter and Bow Chicka Wow Wow Chocolate Caramel Bock, generously provided by our good friends at @millstreambrewing. An odd film, it concerns a family consisting of a mother, her two daughters and infant son, Baby. Baby, as it happens, is a 21 year old man, and the social worker assigned to the case becomes unwelcomely attached to the family. If the spectacle of watching a family completely at ease with an adult baby doesn't do it for, stick around for the twist ending. Thanks for listening!

Our Christmas movie is Trancers, with Zombie Dust from @3floydsbrewing! It's the year 2247, and trooper Jack Deth is sent back to 1985 to prevent the evil Martin Whistler from killing the ancestors of the leaders of the future. Sounds cool, right? Well, it gets better, because Deth is played by the one and only Tim Thomerson. Trancers, squids, Helen Hunt, and Tim Thomerson as a noir style man from the future. We teamed it up with the world class Pale Ale from world class Midwest brewery 3 Floyds. Merry Christmas! Happy Holidays! Thanks for listening!

We're mining Canada again for this Saturday's episode, The Brain, with Noise Violation DIPA from @hidefbrewingdtla.
