Flix And A Six

We missed a week for vacation and we need to catch up on Deadpool and Solo. So, for this episode, we are taking you all the way back to 2001's non-space odyssey. With Al's pinky in a cooler on the floor of our van, we race our way through the blood pouring down his arm, movies that make you say "ok", a super heroic robbery, bad boys, bad business, and improv, before we discuss Rat Race, while drinking Oyster Bay Brewing's Barn Rocker Ale.*  Flick: Rat Race Six: Oyster Bay Brewing - Barn Rocker Ale

We're sooorry it took us this long to get to Super Troopers. Funny movie. Funny guys. You know what you're getting from them. And what you're getting from us. So it's general chicaneries (!!!), movie news, Chris Hardwick appreciation, and another hit beer: Two Roads Espressway Cold Brew Coffee Stout. Come check out a new Flix & a Six, only on The Spinchoon!

YES, this is our Infinity War episode. YES, we are going to get knee deep in spoilers. YES, we will give you fair warning before that happens so you can pause and come back once you crawl out from under that rock and see it. On this week’s episode: Infinity War, DCEU slander, Cigar City Brewing Guayabera Citra Pale Ale, and a special surprise beer before spoiler town.  Flix: Avengers Infinity War Six: Cigar City Brewing Guayabera

Surprise! No movie this week; it’s time to get ourselves ready for Infinity War this weekend. Come join us as we take a look at what’s happened in a decade of Marvel movies, and what’s to come as we transition from Phase 3 of the MCU to Phase 4. Our other topics included movie news (Venom trailer, Deadpool antics, etc.), as well as the beer of the week: Ballast Point Sour Wench Blackberry Ale. Prepare yourselves for the end (not of our show, calm down)……(actually Thanos is trying to destroy half the universe maybe we both don’t make it back for the next episode……………………………..), in the newest episode of Flix & a Six, only on The Spinchoon! Flix: Pre Infinity War - State of the MCU Six: Ballast Point Sour Wench Blackberry Ale

Veep fans assemble! If you haven’t heard of The Death of Stalin, and you’re a fan of Veep (or clever, dark comedy), check out Armando Ianucci’s directorial debut. Then, come back and listen to this. You won’t want to miss out on our discussion of this week’s movie, live-action remakes, cinematic legal drama, Al’s spicy lips, and Infinity War anticipation. Plus, we feature another excellent brew from Jack’s Abby: Cranberry Berliner. So, cheers, to another hot, fresh, steaming new Flix & a Six.

We’re reaching into the vault here. Sure this movie is 12 years old, but it’s so damn good. It’s in Al’s vaunted Top 3 (for whatever that’s worth). So we figured let’s have a little fun with that. We opened up with some of our classic rambling and drank a delicious beer. This week it’s Lord Hobo Brewing Company Consolation Prize Double India Pale, and it continues our streak of successes. So check out an oldie but goody, on a new Flix & a Six, only on The Spinchoon!

The Big 4–0! Well, maybe not the customary version of the expression, but we’re still feeling pretty excited about this milestone. It’s also our 2nd Annual Easter Episode! What does that mean for you, our listeners? A few things: nothing Easter themed, a live episode since we see each other this day every year, Podcasting Under the Influence, and all the other things you love about our show. That means, of course, a new beer from Newburgh Brewing: Chef Boss IPA. It also means Star Wars musings, a new dramatic reading segment, and the long awaited Ready Player One! So put on your Easter bonnet, and fire up a new episode of Flix & a Six, only on The Spinchoon!

Jack’s Abby is here to stay. We don’t usually kick off our synopsis with the beer, but we’ve enjoyed every one of their entries so far, and this one stuck to the trend…. We may do every single beer in their catalog. For this week, it’s simply Bier. Drink it. Like we did, discussing Darkest Hour. Continuing our trend of belatedly talking about Oscar relevant movies well after they’re released, and somewhat after the Oscars. We’re sorry. But we’re not sorry we saw this movie. Nor are we sorry that we rambled about documentaries, the insanity of acting, Mr. Rogers, Marvel stuff, etc. So check out a lean, mean episode of Flix & a Six, only on The Spinchoon!

Black Panther is excellent, as advertised. That only scratches the surface of our discussion this week, as our rambling was elite. Beer, namely the return of Newburgh Brewing Company’s New York Boss, Nick Cage antics, Harry Potter musings, story time, Garland Sundays, and… wait for it…. a dramatic reading of graphic Nerd Porn Poetry. To be clear, not poetry about nerdy things, but rather a reading of poetry, about porn, written by a nerd. It’s a lot to handle. That’s all before the main event. This episode is bursting at the seams with content, so clear your schedule, because it’s a 5 star episode of Flix & a Six, only on The Spinchoon!

Timely as always, we have some thoughts on Get Out. Oh, what’s that? (checks calendar) Ah, it’s been over a year since Get Out was released. Sorry….. Wait the Oscars they’re (checks calendar)…. damn it that was like 2 weeks ago…… Better late than never? Yeah, let’s go with that. In other examples of our resounding competence at this, this episode also features long winded discussions about the impending release of Ready Player One, Jon Favreau and his Star Wars show, animated media and adult perception of it, and this delicious beer we drank. Well that last part at least a core facet of our show. So grab a Left Hand Brewing Wake Up Dead Russian Imperial Stout, because we highly recommend it. It’s a jam packed episode of Flix & a Six, inly on The Spinchoon!

If that title seems aggressive, here are some thoughts:  *Deal with it *Did you see this movie? Yea, aggressive doesn’t cover half of it *I mean come on this is some solid wordplay Sorry folks, now that we’ve gotten that out of the way, let’s all take a deep breath, because that movie was an EXPERIENCE. That’s probably the best way to put: you don’t watch this movie, you experience it. It’s as intense as any movie out there; visually, audibly, emotionally, viscerally. And that beer? Well, it’s not all those things, but it’s pretty damn delicious. We appreciate what Alchemist has done with Heady Topper, and again here with Focal Banger. This movie is a trip, this beer is excellent, and we think the newest Flix & a Six was too, only on The Spinchoon!

OSCARS PREP! That’s right, for once we’re doing our job and churning out an Oscar nominated movie (on and here’s a link to the Oscars overview we mention) just a few short days before the ceremony itself. As you can tell (you’re a smart, discerning audience after all) this week’s episode is on Lady Bird. As Larry David might say, “Pretty, pretty, pretty good.” Just like the beer we drank this week, Jack’s Abby Red Tape Amber Lager. We’ll definitely, probably drink many more of their beers in future episodes. Rounding out the run time, we get some rambling, some complaining, some news, some laughs (it’s not all bad obviously). O and fun bonus this week: if you stay until the very end of the episode you get to hear us age 90 years in 90 seconds, in real time! So crack a brew (or 2) and listen to the newest episode of Flix and a Six, only on The Spinchoon!

The Big Sick is a heartwarming tale of love and whimsy and sunshine and rainbo — ok I’m sorry I can’t even finish that thought. I can’t take it seriously. This movie is some of those things, but it’s much more as well. It’s dark and hilarious, awkward and inappropriate. It’s a roller coaster ride of feels. We liked it a lot. Just like our beer for the episode: Rogue Mocha Porter. We’re on a pretty good run of those too. So check out a fun episode of Flix & a Six, only on the Spinchoon!

Aaaaaannndd we’re back. Sorry about that. We promise it won’t happen again…. no we don’t it will probably happen again. Anyway, we’re here now, and we have a brand spanking new episode. We know it’s a little late to the party with these #taeks, but with the Oscar’s right around the corner, we’re keeping this window open. Well if you’ve seen it, you know there’s some heavy stuff in here, so it’s a good thing Jack’s Abby Mass Rising IPL came in pints. It’s not all bad; there was definitely some humor here, and true to form, we are always gonna play that up. So here’s some Oscar fare, on the latest Flix and a Six, only on The Spinchoon!

Ok, has everyone settled down yet? No? Good we haven’t either. Adrenaline pulsing through your body for an entire week probably isn’t great for your health, but damn the consequences! The moment we’ve all been waiting for has come and gone, you’ve seen The Last Jedi, and now you should be ready to hear what we think. Man did we think. This movie is packed full of content, and so is our episode. But, love it or hate it, that’s what we do. Of course, we do it drinking (yet another) delicious beer, Southern Tier Citra Hopped Live Pale Ale, continuing our epic run of good choices. I guess that’s all we can say at this point. We’ll let our delirious episode of do the talking. Flix & a Six. Live. The Spinchoon.

No seriously spoilers, wait till you see it. Did I mention spoilers? This episode is full, so full of spoilers. For the love of all that is good and holy (the force) spoilers! We also drink beer. But then, spoilers.

So…. Free Fire was fun! Honestly it’s a movie where you just think back about all the stupid lines and injuries and situations. The incredulity of it all. Simultaneously smart and dumb….. You know just like your typical episode of Flix & a Six…. Moving on, we sampled the newest release of Game of Thrones beer from Ommegang: Winter Is Here. We catch up on each other’s week on air (no we couldn’t do it off air), dabble in some news, discuss the movie universe landscape, and we discuss the rise of A24. This episode, as described by Anthony when we finished, is “Peak Flix & a Six.” Well there you have it, this week is quintessential Flix & a Six, only on The Spinchoon!

MURDER! You know, for a movie about a murder and it being inspired by a heinous crime, this is a surprisingly light affair, at least for periods of the movie. It’s a good movie! Not earth shattering Oscar bait, not Suicide Squad, just a solid movie to be enjoyed for what it is. So we just have some fun talking about it. In this episode there’s no shocking news to cover, you know, except for the (hopefully) glorious return of Al’s Ales! And speaking of ales, we drank some delicious, delicious Southern Tier Warlock Imperial Stout. Did we mention it was delicious? So we’ve been on a damn good run of beers here? Where is here? It’s Flix & a Six, only on The Spinchoon!

It’s fine if you can’t pronounce Stone Xocoveza, we had to look up a pronunciation just so we could do the episode. It was…. unique. You should give it a try though we definitely didn’t hate it. Of course, you might be wondering why this synopsis kicks off with beer talk, which definitely isn’t our standard form, but it’s definitely the most interesting thing about our topics this week. Don’t let that dissuade you from listening; just because Justice League was (predictably) bland, doesn’t mean we didn’t make some fun of our own. No, discussions of chemical explosions in Al’s backyard, daring thefts, and Henry Cavill’s upper lip make for plenty of fun. So tune in for a new Flix & a Six, only on The Spinchoon!

Thor matters. We’re just as surprised as you are. This is already one of the top MCU movies in what is becoming a ridiculous catalog of titles. It’s also freaking hysterical. This isn’t a superhero movie, it’s an ensemble action comedy. I mean nonstop, laugh out loud funny comedy. So…. think Guardians of the Galaxy. Just don’t get it confused, they are not ripping this off. And that’s why this movie is worth watching, because if you’ve been listening to us, you know that making a different genre of movie is the only way the MCU can stay fresh. We have this conversation set against the backdrop of an incredibly delicious beer: Rogue Hazelnut Brown Nectar. This might rank among Anthony and Al’s top 3 for Flix & a Six beers. Of course, we open this all with some fun news items (Star Wars, Lord of the Rings (!!!), Justice League) from the movie landscape, so if you’re not down for that skip to around minute 50 for the Thor only (as if we don’t ramble) stuff. Great beer, great movie, great fun, great new episode o
