Movie And A Beer Episode 3: Once Upon a Time in Hollywood

In this episode, we discuss Quentin Tarantino’s Once Upon a Time in Hollywood and review a couple of beers that you might enjoy while watching. This is a throwback to the classic Hollywood TV and movie industry covering the 50’s-60’s decades.

While the film’s story centers around the career of TV and film actor Rick Dalton, who’s played by Leonardo DiCaprio and his stunt double, chauffeur and friend Cliff Booth, played by Brad Pitt, it is more of a historical drama with a fictional story than not. 

The plot covers Rick Dalton's career as it rises and falls over the course of two decades and includes a bit of Sharon Tate's career and outcomes with the Manson family.  

Movie And A Beer Episode 2: Movies to binge over a weekend

Discussion of five movies to binge over a weekend and what beer(s) you can enjoy with them. The underlying theme of the movies selected was 'running away from something and personal loss'. While they all have their strengths in story, cinematography, acting, and direction.

Each of these movies can stand alone on their own, but binging them makes it more fun.   

 

Movies discussed: 

• The Balad of Buster Skrugs (2018) 
  This is a great western anthology of six short stories told by the Coen Brothers. 
  
  
• Taxi Driver (1976) 
  A classic film by Martin Scorsese. Follows a Taxi Driver that is suffering from insomnia,  Travis Bickle, played by Robert De Niro. 
   
• Run Lola Run (1998)
  German film starring Franka Potente as Lola who runs across Berlin to seek the help of her father. It retells the story over and over as she makes slightly different decisions each time. 
  
  
• Zombieland (2009)
  This great 'buddy flick' follows a group of four survivors of a zombie apocalypse. The film teaches you to abide by a list of survival rules and zombie-killing strategies with humor and grace.  
  
  
• Ex Machina (2014)
  Sci-Fi film that has robots that are self-aware at different levels and uses one of the characters to test their humanity. Beautiful visuals and use of technology to tell the story.
