Cheers To The End

Episode 16: They Live

This week, the guys put on the sunglasses, and breakdown They Live! The movie where Roddy Piper discovers that aliens have secretly taken over Earth… and somehow the solution is to beat the absolute hell out of Keith David in an alley for 6 straight minutes. It’s anti-capitalist paranoia, 80's action energy, and some of the most aggressive social commentary ever shoved into a sci-fi movie. Subtlety is dead, beers will be drank, bubblegum is gone, and this movie absolutely kicks ass. Cheers!

Episode 15: Reign of Fire

This episode we break down 2002's Reign of Fire. A movie that asks, “What if dragons woke up and immediately chose violence?” Yes, dragons. It stars an intense Christian Bale, and a completely unhinged Matthew McConaughey in all of his unblinking absurdity. Who's master plan mostly involves jumping at airborne fire-breathing lizards with axes. It’s Mad Max, meets medieval LARP. And we cannot stress enough how seriously this movie takes itself while being an absolutely ridiculous premise. Come have a beer with us and join in the absurdity. Cheers!

Episode 14: Cloverfield

In this episode, the guys put the hammer down on 2008's Cloverfield, directed by Matt Reeves (NOT J.J. Abrams.) A movie that asks, “What if your going away party was crashed by a skyscraper sized bad day?” Follow a group of every twenty-something movie trope, as they run through New York armed with nothing but a camcorder, extremely questionable decisions, and zero survival instincts. Come drink and break down the chaos, the mystery, and why a one night stand is no reason to run headlong into a 300 foot tall baby alien. Cheers!

Episode 13: Knowing

On this episode, we dive into 2009's Knowing. The movie where Nicolas Cage discovers the apocalypse is basically a math problem and reacts the only logical way: by yelling at paper, franticly putting himself in harms way, and trusting his hair plugs. We unpack flying disasters, whispering aliens (maybe?), and a universe that apparently runs on bad vibes and worse acting. Is it determinism or does shit just happen? Come share a beer with us and find out!

Episode 12: In The Mouth Of Madness

A hot-shot insurance investigator goes looking for a missing horror author and accidentally speedruns his way into a town where fiction is real, sanity is optional, and New Zealand accents are mandatory. In the Mouth of Madness — John Carpenter's 1994 Lovecraftian spiral into paranoia where the scariest place may have been written into existence with dead pan line reads and terrible reactions!
