We're back after a short hiatus to once again deliver drunken film discussion to your beautiful ears - sorry about the delay, but life has been gettin' in the way of us bros drinking in Alex's basement and keeping his wife up all night by playing guitar. If we didn't need money to survive, we'd probably do this every night. Anyways, it feels good to pick things back up with a discussion on the filmography of Christopher Nolan, the sci-fi/drama director who specializes in time abstraction and...

HAPPY FREAKING NEW YEAR EVERYONE - both Alex and Austin hope that you had a great holiday season and that you've shaken off your hangovers to put your focus into your resolutions and goals going forward into 2023. With this episode we're finally talking about the classic John McTiernan action film with controversial "Christmas" status - DIE HARD. This film starring Bruce Willis as John McClane and Alan Rickman as Hans Gruber takes a simple terrorist/hostage situation in a closed location and...

Get ready for a heavy dose of fanboyism, because we're talking about Austin's favorite musical group today (Alex thinks they're pretty neat too) - we're ranking every album in Brockhamptom's discography from worst to best. This hip-hop collective/boyband features the artistic contributions from Kevin Abstract, Dom McLennon, Ameer Vaan, Merlyn Wood, Matt Champion, Bearface and Joba. This is a bonus episode, so as usual we're a little more liquored up than usual. We hope ya'll enjoy and enjoy...

After listening to this episode you might want to be neuralyzed because we're taking all of the fun out of Barry Sonnenfeld's 1997's sci-fi/action/comedy 'Men in Black'. Why over analyze a beloved blockbuster film that everyone and their mother loves unashamedly? Because! We talk about the overall fun and charm, the AWESOME special effects and makeup (which it won an Oscar for), and maybe some of the shortcomings that appear in its 3rd act. Some other random topics that come up during our...

Worst podcast you've ever heard? Well, our next one will be better! We're talking about Tim Burton's under-appreciated 1994 biographical comedy/drama 'Ed Wood'. This film follows the real life so-called "worst director of all time" Edward D. Wood Jr. on his journey to creating one of the most infamously terrible films in history 'Plan 9 from Outer Space' - as well as his assembly of a group of misfits, and his friendship with Bela Lugosi. The film stars Johnny Depp, Martin Landau, Sarah...

The time has finally come for us to talk about one of our most beloved television series ever made - we're talking about the Breaking Bad prequel Better Call Saul. This Peter Gould/Vince Gilligan led project arrived on the scene with the possible stench of spin-off cynicism, but went on to deliver six seasons of methodical character-based storytelling that not only expanded on the lore of its original series, but ended up improving upon it. Better Call Saul stars Bob Odenkirk, Jonathan Banks,...

Make sure you're wearing hearing protection for this latest episode of TDBR, because we're talking about 2019's Sound of Metal, the 2019 slice of life drama directed by Darius Marder which follows a metal drummer coping with hearing loss. This film was a huge hit at the Academy Awards, managing to nab both Best Sound Design and Best Editing, plus a few nominations for acting. It stars Riz Ahmed, Paul Raci, and Olivia Cooke. Believe us when we say that this film comes across as a horror movie...

It's finally here! Your least favorite white men on the internet are ranking every album by the worst man in the world (at the moment) aka Kanye West from worst to best. Did you say anti-Semitic? Well that's just a controversy that everyone will forget about by the time this podcast comes out - you will listen to to this two years from now when Kanye has a place on the cabinet of whichever U.S president is currently in place. Where was I? Oh yeah, we miss the old Kanye - back when slavery...

We're wishing everyone a HAPPY HALLOWEEN from here at Two Dudes, Brews & Reviews - and what a way we're ringing in the best holiday of the year with Luca Guadignino's remake of the 1977 classic Suspiria! Austin is being put into a state of discomfort by pretzel women, Tilda Swinton in old man makeup (plus two other roles!), and a runtime that seemingly never ends - all while Alex is frustrated by what should be one of the best horror films of the decade, but unfortunately falls short in...

For todays episode we might referring you to a film crisis center - because we're reviewing the classic Paul Verhoeven action-satire film Robocop! Starring Peter Weller, Miguel Ferrer, Nancy Allen, Ronny Cox, and the wonderfully magnificent Kurtwood Smith aka Red Foreman in the villain role. We talk about practical effects, stop-motion animation, b-movie style, cartoonishly evil villains, witty dialogue,  and the satire of major corporations, police forces, and the U.S  military complex. We...

Behold our most clickbait title for a podcast yet! Alex and Austin have decided to do some bonus episodes on topics we think would be interesting to talk about, just to veer from the recommendation format that we usually go with. But yes, we're ranking the filmography of Quentin Tarantino - the visionary writer and director who has taken elements from westerns, kung-fu, grindhouse, and blaxploitation films, and elevates them for mainstream audiences. The rules are as follows: 1.) Both of us...

We bet if you could listen to any podcast you'd be disappointed, am I right? Well, that's too bad - because you're stuck with us, and we're discussing the 2000 album The Moon & Antartica by Modest Mouse. On this third album (their first on a major label), the band moved from the brash suburban musings of The Lonesome Crowded West into something more expansive and celestial. We praise the jammy nature of it's instrumentation, go on long drunken rants dissecting the lyrics (we hope you...

Don't choke yourself with a dead cat over this, but here at Two Dudes, Brews, and Reviews we're reviewing the 2013 Spike Jonze romantic-drama 'Her'. Starring Joaquin Phoenix and Scarlett Johansson - and featuring a great supporting cast of Amy Adams, Rooney Mara, Chris Pratt and Olivia Wilde - this film explores the human condition, relationships, and the effects of technology in the 21st century. This is the first time we've really delved into a romance based movie - and it's honestly...

We like cinema just like we like butter in our ass and lollipops in our mouth - and that’s great news considering the film we’re talking about on todays episode. It’s Paul Thomas Anderson’s 1997 film ‘Boogie Nights’, featuring an all-star cast of Mark Wahlberg, Burt Reynolds, Julianne Moore, Don Cheadle, John C. Reilly, Heather Graham, and William H. Macy. But don’t let the amazing cast of actors distract you from the other things this movie pulls off - great soundtrack choices, incredible...

Where the hell ya been at Frank? Well, while we wait for the next Frank Ocean move - why don't we discuss his modern classic 'Blonde' from 2016 in the meantime? We get into the wait from Channel Orange to Blonde, the confusion of the visual album 'Endless', the greatest swindling of a major label in modern times, and each of our individual experiences with Frank Ocean and the rollout of this album. Alex gets into his most recent trip to Denver Colorado where he did some sightseeing, saw The...

What's up doc? Here at TDBR we've been drowning ourselves in the nostalgia of classic cartoons. We're talking about the 1988 live-action/animation hybrid film Who Framed Roger Rabbit - directed by Robert Zemeckis with input by Stephen Spielberg, and starring Bob Hoskins, Joanna Cassidy, Christopher Lloyd, and the voices of classic Warner Brothers and Disney Cartoons such as Daffy and Donald Duck, Bugs Bunny, and Betty Boop! This movie with children's icons features murder, sex, stylish noir...

Are you a fan of superhero's? Are you a fan of your beloved characters becoming alcoholics, unrepentant murders, depressed and sufferers of dementia? We certainly do! This week we're talking about the 2017 addition to the X-Men series 'Logan', directed by James Mangold and starring Hugh Jackman, Patrick Stewart, Dafne Keen, and Stephan Merchant. Thank god for the success of Deadpool, because without it we would have never been allowed to have more R-rated superhero films such as this. Prior...

Better check your heart rate,  because we're not just watching this film, we're EXPERIENCING it. This 2019 movie directed by Josh and Bennie Safdie not only delivers anxiety-ridden thrills, but also what we're calling the great redemption arc of Two Dudes, Brews & Reviews history with Adam Sandler's performance here. From the same man that brought you films like Jack and Jill and That's My Boy brings us a performance that probably deserved at the very least an Oscar nomination. Now he's...

Lots of big news coming out of this edition of the Two Dudes, Brews & Reviews podcast. Austin goes into detail about recently getting engaged, and Alex talks about his recent near-fatal run-in with a black bear while out enjoying the tourist trap of Gatlinburg, Tennessee…and that’s all before we even get into talking about James Cameron’s 2009 film Avatar aka Pocahontas in space aka the biggest f*****g movie of all time (according to the box office). We get into the forgettable...

Things are getting a little awkward on the podcast this week, as our film ‘The King of Comedy’ focuses on the most socially inept and un-self aware protagonist that we’ve covered so far, Rupert Pupkin! (not Pumpkin, or Puffer, get it right) This 1982 Martin Scorsese movie might have bombed at the box office and received lukewarm reviews at the time, but it’s comments on fame and public perfection are as relevant as either. We briefly go into our relationship with Scorsese as a director, and...

There's nothing else quite like sitting down to watch a "comedy" special and then becoming incredibly existential. Oops! Bo Burnham's 2021 Netflix comedy/musical special has us revisiting the last two or so years of quarantine and the COVID pandemic, how fun! We're also getting into themes of technology, mental illness, and suicide throughout. Also fun! Anyways, we're pretty straight forward on this one, and all of our tangents are focused around the themes of the special. Austin threatens to...

We thought this was gonna be a campy B-movie that we were gonna meme up and crack jokes with, turns out it only got us in our feels. Welcome to the film ‘Titane’, a French slasher-turned-body horror-turned wholesome family drama! Weren’t expecting that eh? This sophomore film by Julia Ducournau draws you in with its campy gimmick (she does what to a car?!) and turns it into a meaningful film about sexuality and human connection. Woah. Alex gives a post-concert report after seeing Elton John,...

After a small delay, we’re back to talk about one of the more recent Pixar animated films ‘Luca’, which was released on Disney+ last year. This is a film that Austin feels much more strongly about than Alex, who sees its place in Pixar’s film canon as somewhat ‘mid’. As for life-update stuff, Alex recently saw Bright Eyes in concert and has been playing a lot of Elden Ring. Austin has been getting into manga with the legendary series ‘Berserk’. We also go on a long-winded rant about the greed...

Since Two Dudes, Brews & Reviews has started, Alex has been hoping this day would come - we're finally giving ourselves an excuse to talk about Breaking Bad on the podcast. We're reviewing 2019''s 'El Camino', a film that serves as an epilogue to the legendary show with Aaron Paul taking the spot as the leading man, although many familiar faces return here (most notably Jesse Plemmons, Kristen Ritter and Robert Forster). We also get into Alex's recent trip to Fort Lauderdale, Left-Hand...

Never would I have thought that Two Dudes, Brews & Reviews would be tackling themes of religion on our podcast, but here we are! We're reviewing Ang Lee's 2012 3-D extravaganza 'Life of Pi', not THE Life of Pi, get it straight folks. This is a nostalgic favorite of Austin's, so he's able to gush about it, but to be fair, this movie has aged exceptionally well. We talk about the films special-effects, its great use of (mostly) unknown actors, and its religious themes. Also, we're drinking...
