Movie And A Beer Episode 191: Ex Machina
On this episode of Movie And A Beer we explore the world of Ex Machina. Directed by Alex Garland, this 2015 movie presents what would happen if AI or a robot with AI could fool you? The visuals are amazing, the science fiction is believable, the acting incredible, and the environment created brings you along for the ride. There are many questions asked in the film of both humanity and the AI, and we do our best to ask and answer some of these questions ourselves.

Along the way, we had a couple of beers, first up was an old school recipe IPA from Hetty Alice Brewing (OR) and the other was a Hazy IPA from Little Beast Brewing (OR). One was a bit more successful than the average. Give the episode a listen to hear about our take on AI and the success of this film in presenting the questions such as "what happens if I fail your test?"

Movie And A Beer Episode 190: Big Trouble in Little China
We're back in the 80's with this episode of Movie And A Beer, it's Big Trouble in Little China staring Kurt Russel as Jack Burton, a truck driving loud mouth that seems to stumble himself out of danger more times than not. Jack just can't seem to catch a break as he get's mixed up with a magical plot put into motion by Lo Pan, a 2000 year old Chinese wizard that's trying to become mortal again in the depths of the San Francisco China Town. Jack helps his friend rescue the two green eyed ladies before Lo Pan marries and kills them. With plenty of action and groovy special effects, this kung-fu comedy driven spoof is one of the cultural touchstones of those that grew up in the 80's.

We had a couple of great beers along the way, including a rice lager from Wayfinder Beer (OR), and a collaboration double dry hopped double IPA from Widowmaker and Other Half Brewing. Give the episode a listen to hear about these beers and a great discussion about acting and how to deliver lines.

Movie And A Beer Episode 189: The Princess Bride
On this fantasy driven episode of Movie And A Beer, we encountered the Princess Bride, a 1987 classic from director Rob Reiner. This is a pretty straight forward fairy tale adventure about a beautiful young woman (Buttercup) and her one true love (Westley) as told by a grandfather to his grandson who's a bit under the weather. There are a lot of homage being paid to older films that relied upon acting and dialogue more than set and special effects. With tons of one-liners that are memorable and part of our cultural lexicon today, this is definitely worth a watch.

Along the way we also had a couple of great beers from two local nano-breweries here in the Portland area. First up was a Dry Rye Helles Lager from Duality Brewing (OR), followed up by a Dry-Hopped Rice Lager w/ flowers from Tiny Giants (OR). Both were delicate and brought a bit of depth while watching the movie. Give the episode a listen to hear about our favorite parts and why these beers went so well with them.

Movie And A Beer Episode 188: Terminator 2: Judgment Day
With the recent rise of AI here in present day, we at Movie And A Beer figured it would be a good time to revisit some of the past movies that exemplify what "might" or "could" happen if we don't pay attention. Which brings us to the 1991 James Cameron action blockbuster, Terminator 2: Judgement Day staring Edward Furlong as young John Connor, Arnold Schwarzenegger as the Terminator, Robert Patrick as the T-1000 newer model Terminator, with Linda Hamilton reprising her role as Sarah Connor. This epic sequel takes place 11 years after the first Terminator movie and brings a whole bunch of baggage with it. We discuss in a lot of details the visual and sound editing and effects used in the film and how it combined a lot of different film-making techniques that were not so common back in 1991, as well as enjoyed a couple of beers along the way.

First up was a Northern style Pilsner from Urban Chestnut Brewing (MO) via Dutchless Ales (NY) followed by a juicy NE Style IPA from Trap Door Brewing (WA). Both had their high and low points along with the movie. Give the episode a listen to hear about that and an in-depth discussion about explosions and munitions.
