Cinemantics: A Podcast About Film, Tv And Beer.

In episode 174, Tony & Eddie sit back and check out their first Amazon Prime Video Original film. The Vast of Night is a creepy, mildly suspenseful period piece from the debut director, Andrew Patterson. There's a lot to unpack here - but there's also not a ton to this movie. On the plot level, it's exactly what you think it is - a quirky sci-fi flick about visitation of the extraterrestrial variety. However, that's not what makes this movie shine. The cinematography here is wonderful. The tone is spot on. The pacing is perfect. It's just an excellently made film. But is that enough? The boys also try two new beers this week, of course. An imperial IPA from Founders and a nice light Kolsch from Ellicotville.
