3 Beers And A Movie

A sad start to the episode as we bid farewell to a teen icon that was formative in our growing upThen its onto all the movies we have seen, starting with Netflix offering 'Anniversary' which paints a future that doesn't seem to far off, the return of an iconic video game 'Return To Silent Hill', dabble into the world of stand up and failing marriages with early awards contender 'Is This Thing On?', Disney+ offering from Hollywood icon James L Brooks with 'Ella McCay' and we finish with Sky Cinema/NowTV sci-fi offering 'Xeno'

Our intrepid hero returns from his battles with the lurgy to talk about moviesUp first this week Prime Video offering with the man mountains of Bautista and Momoa in 'The Wrecking Crew', cinema horror with a rabid angry monkey 'Primate', Netflix action flick from Taiwan '96 Minutes' and we finish with thriller adapted from a hot novel 'The Housemaid'

This was supposed to be a threesome but someone got cold feet (illness) and had to bail, so we are left with a duo, but not the usual duo. We start with the TRIUMPHANT return of Park Chan-wook with 'No Other Choice', we finally get to see awards front runner 'Marty Supreme', the ongoing problems in plague ravished Britain in '28 Years Later: The Bone Temple', thriller with our fav new scream queen Samara Weaving in 'Borderline' and we finish with the first clunker of 2026 'Pose'.

We are both struggling with illness this weeks but we still manage to watch a fair few things. A cinema dynasty looks to be getting forged with Destry Allyn Spielberg debut feature 'Don't Feed The Children', we then head to Japan for some oddness with Brendan Fraser in 'Rental Family', then return to UK (well 16th Century version) for adaptation of Maggie O'Farrells breath-taking novel 'Hamnet' from Chloe Zhao, then we travel to the waters north of Darwin for some survival against the elements, enemy and of course a giant f**king shark in WWII set 'Beast Of War', one of us delves into cinema history with silent movie from Alfred Hitchcock 'The Lodger' and we finish with biggest movie going around, a crime that it has taken us this long to see it but we head to Pandora for 'Avatar: Fire And Ash'

The podcast is in the midst of a Scottish winter so unfortunately this week we were relying on the wonders of the streaming services, we will get to the cinema in the very near future for sure...we miss it!This week we start with Prime Video offering 'Sovereign' a taught true life thriller with Nick Offerman, its a tonal ying yang as we head to Quebec for Netflix rom-com 'French Kiss', before heading to Prime Video again for some WWII action 'Der Tiger' and we finish with a couple of Sky Cinema offerings starting with heist/thriller 'All The Devils Are Here' and we finish with the hard hitting stellar cast of 'Nuremberg'

We are back for 2026 for more movie watching and talking as we build towards the 3 Beers 2026 Top Ten....will any of this weeks movies feature in that? unlikely but maybe....We start with a recap of all the catch ups we had over the festive period, and then we dive into some newer releases. We start with Korean endtimes/scif thriller 'The Great Flood' on Netflix, one of us goes to the cinema to watch a sequel to a teenage favourite with a reimagining of 'Anaconda', then its back to Netflix for the directing debut of Kate Winslet with family drama 'Goodbye June' and we finish with more cinema action with a romcomscifi 'Eternity'

2025 is over (just about) and it is a time for reflection, what did we like, what did we not...but this is a mainly positive pod talking about all the things we love on the cinema screen in 2025.

We start this weeks episode with the saddest of sad stories with the death of the great Rob ReinerWe then have a good movie week starting with the latest murder mystery from Rian Johnson and the return on Benoit Blanc 'Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery', we find more mystery but this time in the magical world with 'Now You See Me: Now You Don't', we journey into deepest darkest Sweden with the revenge seeking machine that is 'Sisu: Road To Revenge' and we finish with 2023 thriller from French legend Luc Besson 'DogMan'.
