401: The Legend of Beer and a Movie - The Legend of Billie Jean

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. The takes on Billie Jean get surprisingly heated…

400: Back In The Cage with Guest Carlos Cooper: Gone in 60 Seconds/Joe/USS Indianapolis: Men of Courage

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.…

399: The Philadelphia Story/Ball of Fire With Guest Heidi Hovda

Only 3 BaaM episodes left, and now it’s getting classy…dangerous classy. Local film enthusiast and cheerleader Heidi Hovda finally pulls up 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 2024 Bourbon…

398: Grandma's Boy/Zorro, The Gay Blade With Guest Blake Trevino

With only 4 episodes left, Comedian Blake Trevino returns one last time taking the wheel to program a double feature that’s been living rent-free in his head every time he’s on the show: Grandma's Boy and Zorro, the Gay Blade. For the first half, we lean all the way into chaos with Soul Sips THC 10mg Iced Tea—because if you’re diving into Grandma’s Boy, you might as well meet it on its level. It’s…

397: The 2026 BaaMies With Guest Daniel Benavidez

Forget the Oscars…this is the real main event. It’s The BaaMies! — our biggest Beer and a Movie episode of the year, where we wrap up everything that mattered in 2025: the best films, the worst disasters, standout performances, and of course… the beer. And we didn’t come light. For the first time ever, dream guest and Patron Saint of Beer for BaaM Daniel Benavidez brings his magic bag of beer —…

396: The Bride!/Secretary With Guest Kailey Diaz

Only six episodes left, so we’re bringing in one of our favorite reinforcements. Kailey Diaz joins the gang for one last hurrah, and we almost go as off the rails as the final new-release movie we’ll ever review: The Bride!, Maggie Gyllenhaal’s strange, ambitious, full-tilt fever dream of a film. To pair with it, we go back to the movie that helped launch Gyllenhaal into the spotlight—Secretary—a…

395: The Secret Agent/It Was Just an Accident with Guest Ethan Thompson

On this week’s Beer and a Movie, we go global — and uncomfortably current. The Secret Agent and It Was Just an Accident, two Best International Feature Oscar nominees anchor the conversation. Both films wrestle with paranoia, authoritarian creep, and the slow normalization of fear — themes that feel disturbingly timely amid rising global tensions and the recent bombing of Iran. Joining us is Ethan…

394: Sentimental Value/F1 With Guest Adam Beam

This week, we attempt to find the hidden thread connecting Norwegian heartbreak with Brad Pitt's high-octane racing. Adam Beam returns to tackle two Oscar Best Picture nominees, Sentimental Value and F1. On the beer side, we’ve got a Banger Imperial Hazy IPA from Saint Arnold Brewing, juicy enough for a cinematic slow-mo montage, and from David’s magic bag of wonders, the 2025 Goose Island Bourbon…

393: Wuthering Heights (2026)/Dangerous Liaisons With Guest Emily Suggs

Only 9 episodes left, and this one is all corsets, cruelty, and complicated desire. Emily Suggs — our resident literary adaptation assassin — returns to the mic after publicly side-eyeing the marketing campaign for the new Wuthering Heights. The big question: did director Emerald Fennell deliver a fever-dream romance worthy of the Brontë chaos…or was this all perfume and no poison? To keep the…

392: Nuremberg (2025)/Come and See With Guest Harold Ramos

Only 10 episodes left! Harold Ramos returns armed with two things we respect deeply: a massive film pick and an even more massive beer. This time, he brings a 19-year-aged Cantillon Lou Pepe — the longest-cellared beer we’ve ever poured on the show. It’s funky, complex, a little intimidating… which turns out to be the perfect pregame for 2025’s Nuremberg. To pair it, we go even darker. We discuss…
