Cinemantics: A Podcast About Film, Tv And Beer.

In Ep #79, Tony & Eddie talk about Alex Garland's Annihilation (2018). This one was dicey, folks. Tony loved the movie. Enjoyed the ride. Loved the visuals. Loved the existential journey. Eddie, however, laughed at the plot lines, scoffed at the pace, was saddened by the squandering of some truly great ideas. The boys also tried some new brews from Voodoo & Founders Breweries. Some classic tastes here, beers they know and love. Find out more on the latest episode of the Cinemantics.

In Ep #78, Tony & Eddie talk Pacific Rim: Uprising. What does it have? Big robots. Big aspirations. Big Boyega. Small Cailee. And...at least 5 minutes of Eddie mispronouncing the inter-dimensional alien's species name. There's a lot here to like. But there's a TON to hate too. Find out what the boys ultimately thought in this week's episode of the Cinemantics. Of course there's always two new beers to try too. We tried brews from Voodoo and from Founders and man-o-live there was some goodness there to talk about.

In Ep #77, Tony & Eddie fight like hell to get through a chat about Transformers: The Last Knight. This ambitious, but ultimately scatter-brained and difficult to follow film was surely not their favorite flick to watch. The boys talk Michael Bay, Transformers canon, or lack there of. They discuss the plot, the holes, the terrible new transformers and overall lack of empathy with nearly the entire cast. At least there was beer, folks! The breweries they tried this week we 21st Amendment and Hermit Thrush. Both were sours. Both were solid. Find out much much more in this latest episode of, The Cinemantics!

In Ep #76 the boys are back to the movie review regime after a small travel break. This week they tried out a new animated film, Batman Ninja (2018). There's a lot to like here, but there's also some cliche overdone troupes. Or...maybe the guys are just too old for this type of thing. Either way, they tried two new beers. One from Bell's and one from a very popular Estonian brewery, Tanker. There's also takes on #E3 which of course is on their minds this week. All that in more is here for you to check out. Cheers!

In this mini episode, Tony & Eddie sample two more beers from Cigar City and Victory. Some interesting flavor profiles are discussed here. And, it may be official after this episode that Eddie now likes sour beers! Maybe. The boys talk travel and upcoming events in this mini episode. Check it out for more details.

In this mini episode, Tony & Eddie try some new brews from Cigar City and Victory Brewing companies. There's a ton of hype right now behind Cigar City and Victory is a gold standard for multiple beer types here in NWPA. Did these new beers live up to the buzz? Listen to this week's Cinemantics to find out.

In Ep#73 Tony & Eddie disagree a bit about Marvel's ambitious 10 year opus come to climax, Avengers: Infinity War (2018). There's a lot to consider here. So many characters, so much work, so much at stake, and it all comes down to a *snap*. Listen this week to hear some gushing, some cussing and some heart-felt commentary on the superhero crescendo. The boys also tried new beers from Stone Brewing and Ommegang Brewery.

In Ep #72 Tony & Eddie take another step towards their upcoming Infinity War review by watching and reviewing Spider-man Homecoming (2017). Let's be honest, folks - there's a lot of Spider-men out there. Some would say too many. The boys would agree. Tony & Eddie talk teenage angst, coming of age tales, origin stories and more. They also agree that perhaps Spider-man Homecoming is the best of all of those things. Or maybe they don't. Check out this week's episode to find out. The boys also sampled beer from Ballast Point Brewing and Pabst brewery. Did they like 'em or love 'em? You'll have to listen to find out.

In Ep #71 Tony & Eddie talk about Stephen King's 2017 reboot IT. This critically acclaimed horror flick proved problematic for the boys. Hopes were high going into this one but it just didn't come to fruition. There's possibility here. Well, there was, but neither Tony nor Eddie had a lot of positive stuff to say about this one. The boys tried beer form Boulevard Brewery and Saugatuck Brewing. Poor, poor Georgie...

In Ep #70, Tony & Eddie try to discuss J.J. Abrams Super 8 (2011) but they're constant distracted by everything but. Here's the deal, Eddie loved this movie when it came out...but did it age well? Is it like an barrel-aged Stout? With oak notes, a sweet decadent flavor with a boozy finish? Or is it a lackluster lager? Listen to find out! The boys also sampled beers from Stone Brewing and Duclaw.

In mini Ep#9 Tony & Eddie talk Netflix's Lost in Space, kids in Sci-Fi movies, warm weather, yard work, 1-year-old birthdays and much much more. If you love Cinemantics mini episodes, tune in this week to hear about two fantastic beers from Doc G's and 21st Amendment Breweries.

In Ep #68 Tony & Eddie take a walk down a dark path. Trey Edwards Shultz's, It Comes at Night (2017) is a chilling thriller that takes a deep dive into a solitary and confined post-apocalyptic world where a mysterious sickness has wreaked havoc on humanity. More specifically, on a family hiding out in a house in the woods after an unknown extinction level event. The boys can't recommend the film, but they'd really like to recommend the film. Maybe if you're in the right mood. Maybe. There's some excellent tension here. Rally smart writing that keeps you on the edge of seat from start to finish. Where most other films in this genre may depend on jump scares or creatures and gore, ICaN just reigns you in with sometimes brutal, sometimes beautiful visuals and dialogue. On a lighter note, the boys tried new beers from Erie Ale Works and Stone brewing and they really loved them both. Join us for the fun this week!

In Ep #67 Tony & Eddie watched the next entry in the new Star Wars films and they...LOVED some things here. It's not perfect. There's a few snafus for sure, but the boys gush a bit about this fantastic space epic. Star Wars - The Last Jedi (2017) has one of the best endings Tony & Eddie have seen to-date. They'll elaborate a lot more about that in the episode. They also tried some pretty solid beers from Doc G's & Erie Brewing Co. If you like stouts, this is the episode for you. Join us this week for some porg talk. Some space boob banter. And some sweet sweet beer drinkin'.

In Ep #66 Tony & Eddie gush about a movie they've loved for years. If you love Signs (or early M. Night in general) you'll love this episode. If you think his movies are garbage, listen to this episode and let the boys try to convince you otherwise (again, about the old stuff - yes, the new stuff is awful). This week we tried beers from Weyerbacher and Souther Tier breweries. Did we love 'em or hate 'em? Both? Come listen to find out.

In Ep #65 Tony & Eddie talk about the love and hate (it seems like mostly hate) relationship they have with DC's Justice League (2017). This movie is no Marvel's Avengers, but it's also not Batman V Superman. There's good in here. Mixed in with many many mistakes. The boys agree that they can see glimmers of the good Joss Whedon here. But there's also a lot of bad Snyder to contend with. All-in-all the Tony & Eddie agree that there's reasons to watch this film. There's just a lot they'd also suggest be changed. While the boys discussed this DC roller coaster ride they sampled new beers from Dogfish Head Brewing and Grey Sail Brewing companies. Listen to this week's episode to find out more!

In Ep #64 Tony & Eddie talk long and hard about the humor in Thor: Ragnarok (2017). There's some pros, some cons, a lot of hunk and a nice portion of Hulk. The boys are at odds on their rating of this one, but overall there's some huge Marvel wins they can agree on here. They discuss some things they'd wished the film had and did, but they also highlight some of the extremely witty/hilarious dialogue. All in all, Ragnarok is a hell of a ride and a truly different type of Marvel film. While the boys talk about how Chris Hemsworth is a dreamboat, they also try two new beers. This week they sampled form Red Hook brewery and Founders. Check out this week's episode to find out more!

In Ep #63 Tony & Eddie discuss the critically acknowledged action film, John Wick: Chapter 2. They talk guns, gun control, saving dogs lives, Keanu's lumbering saunter and many many more details from 2017s shoot'em up. They weigh in on lots of topographical issues that a movie like this demands. They also talk about the intended demographic, the fun of it all and the upcoming sequel and TV series that have recently been announced. Tony predicts the ending of John Wick: Chapter 3 - and Eddie is willing to bet that he's 100% right. They did all this while sampling two new beers. One from Erie Ale Works and another from Sierra Nevada. Come join the fun on this week's Cinemantics!

In Ep #62 the boys struggle to come up with banter witty enough to counter the plague that is, The Cloverfield Paradox. Tony & Eddie wanted to love this movie. Truly. It has all the makings of a fantastic sci-fi thriller but with clunky writing, ify dialogue, and some of the worst sci-fi science they've ever seen...it fails wonderfully. There's ups and downs here, but the ups are small mounds and the downs are canyons. The boys consistently didn't like this very inconsistent film. It gets worse, Tony had a really bad beer too. However, perhaps Eddie is getting warmer on sours as his Imperial Concord Grape sour wasn't...bad at all actually. The boys tried beers from Plank Road and Southern Tier this week. Tune in to find out more about their grueling watch of the newest Cloverfield installment.

In mini Ep#8 Tony & Eddie talk Last of Us Remastered, Rainbow 6 Siege, the power of salami, Stephen King and of course they do all that while they sample two new beers. You'll hear the famous "Cinemantics Pairings" as well for this "mini" episode. This week they had brews from Lagunitas Brewing and Founders and the boys talk about the merits and pitfalls of Sour beers and the red-headed step child of the craft beer world, Brown ales.

In this episode, Tony & Eddie have a nice fireside chat about their favorite "bad" beers, their top 5 Michael Jackson songs, meals they like to prepare on Saturdays and their favorite animated films. Whether it's Genny Cream Ale, Wanna Be Startin' Somethin', big ass salads or the Lion King, the boys conquered it all this week. They also sampled two new beers from Victory & Desnoes & Geddes beer.
