Beer and a Movie

04/30/2026

Did you know that Joe started a new podcast with BaaM guests Andy Gomez and Blake Trevino? The Slow Roast Comedy Podcast.

This Saturday, the BaaM band gets back together when David joins The Slow Roast for a ridiculous take: Norbit is better than The Nutty Professor.

-Follow The Slow Roast Comedy Podcast FB page.
-Subscribe to TSR's YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/

-Watch episodes LIVE on that FB page OR on YouTube. You can join the live chat on both! THIS SATURDAY at 6PM.

For weeks, Blake has been making the bold claim that Eddie Murphy's Norbit is superior to The Nutty Professor.

This Saturday, Dave from Beer and a Movie joins the table—and we immediately walk into a very serious, very scientific cultural debate.

Joe and Andy have opinions. Strong ones. Possibly correct ones. Possibly just louder ones.

New episode this week. No one is safe. Not even Eddie Murphy’s filmography.

THE FINAL EPISODE: ONE MORE MOVIE TO REVIEW
After 8 years, 900 (!) beers, and more movie debates than we can possibly count…this is it: the final episode of Beer and a Movie.

Our last film — the one we could not end without reviewing — is The Legend of Billie Jean: the definitive film review of this underrated masterpiece and our love letter to Corpus Christi, the city where BaaM was created.

For the beers, we keep it meaningful. We start with Martin House Brewing Company’s Peace Be the Journey — a toast to the 8-year journey we’ve all been on together. Then Joe pulls out something truly special: Barreled Souls Brewing Company's Honey Pot, a gift from Dave over a decade ago, saved for exactly the right moment.

Then, we free-flow, talking about what BaaM might’ve looked like if COVID hadn’t changed everything, shouting out the many recurring guests who became part of the fabric of the show, and say a genuine thank you to everyone who listened, supported, and shared a beer with us along the way.

And in a perfect bit of full-circle timing, Joe’s long-dreamed-of guest finally makes an appearance: David’s wife, Errin, with a surprise pop-in that feels like it was always meant to happen.

One last conversation, one last round, and the only way we knew how to go out.

PS: Fair is fair.

Alright…this is it. The FINAL episode of Beer and a Movie comes out THIS WEDNESDAY. 🍻🎬

We saved something special for the end — a surprise movie:

💄 It’s got serious “don’t mess with me” energy
📺 At some point, the whole town is basically watching
🥜 It contains several knee to nut shots

Somehow, our final episide turned into the most Corpus Christi episode we’ve ever done. It’s scrappy, a little rebellious, slightly unhinged, and as hot as a Gulf Coast summer.

We laugh, we spiral, we maybe question our life choices…and we go out exactly how we came in — talking about a movie with a beer in hand.

One last ride. Don’t miss it.

Beer and a Movie is ending THIS WEDNESDAY!?! It's never felt as real as when Carlos Cooper, our ex-co-host, sticks around for After Hours.

Listen in and hear the faint hints of tears. (Don't worry. You'll hear real tears next week).

ONE EPISODE OF BAAM LEFT with a mystery movie that one of calls one of the most important movies of the [genre redacted] from [decade redacted].

It's our 400th (and penultimate) episode!! So we floor it into the chaos with a full-blown In The Cage episode—the sacred, unhinged tradition where every pick is pure, uncut Nicolas Cage energy. And for a moment this big, you bring back family: Carlos Cooper returns—our one-time permanent co-host turned every-50-episode chaos agent—to ride shotgun one more time before the finale.

Three hosts. Three Cage movies. No brakes.

Joe comes in hot with in 60 Seconds—chrome, speed, and that mythical Eleanor gliding through traffic like a fever dream. Carlos zag-picks with Joe—gritty, stripped down, and proof that Cage can burn just as slow as he explodes. And David? David makes good on a promise with USS Indianapolis: Men of Courage—a war story soaked in sweat, sharks, and sheer Cage intensity.

The beers match the moment: we kick things off with Martin House Brewing’s Roadhouse Coffee, roll into the heavy artillery with Firestone Walker Brewing’s Firestone XXI Anniversary Ale, and finish like kings squashing a years-old beef with the Goose Island Bourbon County Reserve Brand Blanton’s Stout (2021)—because if you’re going to do #400, you go big, bold, and a little unhinged.

It’s loud. It’s loose. It’s everything BaaM has been for 400 episodes—movies, beer, and just enough chaos to keep it dangerous.

One episode left. Let’s burn it down.

This week's guest, Heidi Hovda, has booked screenings at Alamo Drafthouse Corpus Christi for years. Corpus Christi 7-Day Film Project, Film Up!, CC Cell Phone Project, etc. In this week's After Hours, she goes into depth about the shift in their practices and the changes coming for all of those critical, city-changing programs.

Plus, a lot more fun. One of only three After Hours left, and it's a doozy.

COMING THIS WEDNESDAY!
EPISODE 400: WE GO BACK IN THE CAGE!

In our most varied collection of assembled Nic Cage films yet, Carlos Cooper joins us yet again for our final In The Cage episode.

Fast cars, shark attacks, and toxic masculinity are only a few of the few-hundred themes one might find in three different Cage flicks, and we're drilling into them with Gone in 60 Seconds, Joe, and USS Indianapolis: Men of Courage.

Do your homework (watch the flicks) and get ready for the loudest In The Cage episode of BaaM yet!

04/01/2026

Only 3 BaaM episodes left, and now it’s getting classy…dangerous classy.

Local film event virtuoso Heidi Hovda finally pulls into BaaM and programs a double feature straight outta the early-40s screwball playbook: The Philadelphia Story and Ball of Fire.

We start things proper—popping champagne alongside The Philadelphia Story like we’ve got Cary Grant money—and then slide into a Goose Island 2024 Bourbon County Vanilla Rye Brand Stout in an attempt to compete with the heat of Ball of Fire.

Expect rapid-fire 40s slang, high society burns, and enough verbal gymnastics to make Jimmy Stewart stutter and Gary Cooper lean back and nod.

And make no mistake—Heidi brings the Barbara Stanwyck energy.

The real question: can Joe and Dave keep up? Or are they about to get left at the train station holding the luggage while Heidi runs the whole picture?

Three episodes left. No fillers. All killers.
