Adult Beverage Film Podcast

On this frosty episode of the Adult Beverage Film Podcast, we crack open our survival rations (a.k.a. adult beverages) and thaw out one of cinema's chilliest horror masterpieces — John Carpenter's The Thing. Joining us in the frozen tundra of our recording session is the legendary Bo Shurling — unit publicist, award-winner, celebrity wrangler, and the only man we know who can set up a Samuel L. Jackson press tour in the morning, bowl with Cameron Diaz in the afternoon, and still have enough energy to discuss alien shape-shifters over a beer. We dig into the paranoia, the practical effects that still ooze, and the eternal question: who really had the whiskey in the last scene? Bo shares wild Hollywood set stories, the fine art of keeping A-listers happy in freezing weather, and why Antarctic researchers apparently never have enough flamethrowers. So grab your parka, pour something strong (preferably not from an unmarked bottle next to a blood test), and join Kent, Laura, Patrick, Squeeker, and Bo as we dissect The Thing in the only way we know how — with laughter, libations, and just enough suspicion to side-eye your co-hosts.

Get ready to uncork some serious conversation (and maybe pop a few questionable champagne corks), because this episode of the Adult Beverage Film Podcast is hopping on a private jet straight into Sean Baker's wild, heartfelt, and occasionally vodka-soaked Anora. Helping us navigate this whirlwind of love, chaos, and Russian family drama is special guest Nicholas Brown — camera assistant extraordinaire with credits on The Righteous Gemstones, Halloween Ends, Outer Banks, and Mr. Mercedes. He's also the mastermind behind The Second Sticks Podcast and co-host of Focus Puller At Work Podcast, meaning he's got both the insider scoop on what happens behind the camera… and the gossip about what happens after a few too many wrap-party drinks. Joining Nicholas are your favorite cinematic drinking buddies: Kent Smith (our award-winning producer, director, and camera guru), Patrick G. Keenan (actor in 61+ films and counting), Laura Truman (film critic and vintage film hoarder), and Carlisle "Squeaker" Hamrick (audio wizard and full-time movie curmudgeon). We're clinking glasses while diving into Ani's fairy-tale-meets-trainwreck romance with Vanya, the rich, too-young son of a Russian oligarch. Imagine Pretty Woman—but swap the limo for a Gulfstream jet, the glass slipper for a mink coat, and add a high-speed, vodka-fueled chase through Brooklyn. We'll be breaking down Baker's signature mix of screwball comedy, gut-punch emotion, and razor-sharp social commentary, all while asking the important questions: How many martinis does it take to make an oligarch's son look like Prince Charming? What cocktail pairs best with a hasty international annulment? And is there enough tequila in Brooklyn to erase the memory of marrying into a family that makes Succession look tame? So pour yourself something strong (but maybe not Russian Standard unless you're feeling brave), and join us for an episode full of laughs, filmmaking insights, and the kind of relationship advice you definitely shouldn't take seriously. 🎙 Listen now and explore more episodes at https://adultbeverage.net

This week on the Adult Beverage Film Podcast, we're sharpening our fangs, pouring something strong, and sinking our teeth into Ryan Coogler's electrifying vampire thriller Sinners. Helping us navigate this dark, soulful ride is none other than Steve Saxon — Director of Photography, camera operator, and all-around visual wizard whose credits range from feature films like Cold Storage, 40 Fears, The Ultimate Life, Redneck Roots, and The Last Passport to short film gems like Mike, Little Package, and Chief Tendoy. Basically, if it's got a lens, Steve's pointed it at something cool. Joining Steve are your favorite cinematic drinking buddies: Kent Smith (our award-winning producer/director), Patrick G. Keenan (actor in 61+ films and counting), Laura Truman (film critic and reel collector), and Carlisle "Squeaker" Hamrick (audio genius and professional movie curmudgeon). Together, we break down: Behind-the-lens magic – Steve spills on how the Sinners crew captured that perfect blend of Southern Gothic dread and sultry, blood-soaked atmosphere. Soundtrack soul – Why the film's gospel, blues, and roots-inspired score deserves its own record deal. Sin, blood & salvation – How vampirism becomes a metaphor for addiction, trauma, and the high price of fame. The perfect drink pairing – Think smooth bourbon with a sharp bite (and maybe a dash of holy water). It's a gritty, genre-blending deep dive full of laughs, craft talk, and the kind of exclusive on-set insights you can only get when your guest has filmed everything from indie darlings to vampire showdowns. So grab your favorite drink, pull up a chair, and let's talk blood, bourbon, and badass cinematography. 🎙 Listen now and explore more episodes at https://adultbeverage.net

This week on the Adult Beverage Film Podcast, we're shaking up our cocktails and our genres with Jacques Audiard's bold, bonkers, and beautiful Emilia Pérez. Part musical, part crime thriller, and part "wait, did they just break into song during a cartel shootout?", this Cannes sensation tells the story of Rita — a burned-out lawyer who's roped into helping a ruthless drug lord disappear… only to discover he doesn't want to dodge the law, he wants to become the woman he's always dreamed of being. Enter Emilia Pérez: diva, dreamer, and living proof that Scarface and La La Land had a baby with a Latin pop soundtrack. Kent, Laura, Patrick, and Squeeker pop the cork and dive into gender identity, redemption arcs, cartel politics, and whether choreographed musical numbers can survive in a world of AK-47s. We tackle the big questions: How do you cast a drug lord turned pop diva and make us believe it? What cocktail pairs best with a power ballad about smuggling routes? And is it possible to two-step your way out of a federal indictment? Pour yourself something strong, turn up the volume, and join us for the most tuneful crime story you'll hear this year. 🎙 More episodes at: https://adultbeverage.net

Move over, Johnny Carson—this late-night talk show's gone full brimstone! In this episode of the Adult Beverage Film Podcast, Kent, Laura, Patrick, and Squeeker pour up something strong and dive into Late Night with the Devil, the retro-horror fever dream that blends 70s talk-show nostalgia with demonic possession mayhem. The premise? A struggling TV host in the groovy, bell-bottomed era of 1977 will do anything for ratings… including inviting a guest straight from the fiery depths. Imagine The Tonight Show colliding head-on with The Exorcist, sprinkle in some found-footage chills, and top it with a martini olive of pure chaos. We break down the film's killer mix of satire and scares, the pitch-perfect vintage production design, and the unholy joy of watching things spiral completely off the rails on live TV. Plus, we ask the hard questions: Would we sell our souls for better Nielsen ratings? How many cocktails does it take before summoning a demon seems like a good idea? And does polyester burn faster when it's hellfire? Grab your favorite drink, dim those studio lights, and join us for an episode that's equal parts laughs, chills, and "did-that-just-happen?" moments. 🎙 More episodes at: https://adultbeverage.net

Expect plenty of laughs, a few deep (and possibly tipsy) philosophical dives, and the occasional tangent that may or may not involve questionable garage projects.

It's the story of six adventurous women who think "fun weekend" means wriggling through claustrophobic caves in the middle of nowhere.

Imagine girls' night out—except the "out" is underground, and the plus-ones are blind, bloodthirsty, and very overdue for a dentist appointment. We'll share laughs, screams, and questionable survival strategies ("yes, you can drink in a cave… no, you shouldn't"), all while squeezing through the tight spaces of this horror classic. Expect a descent into madness with a splash of gallows humor, a dash of survival tips, and just enough alcohol to make you wonder if you'd fight or flight when the crawlers show up.

Join Kent, Laura, Patrick, and Squeeker as we sip something dangerously strong and unpack the story of J. Robert Oppenheimer — the man who made nuclear fission look like a party trick and proved that theoretical physics could, in fact, blow your mind. We'll explore how Nolan turns history into a cinematic rollercoaster full of time-bending storytelling, jaw-dropping visuals, and enough existential dread to make you refill your glass… twice.

From Matthew McConaughey's legendary "Alright, alright, alright" to Ben Affleck's baseball-bat-wielding bully, we'll break down the unforgettable performances, share our favorite lines, and argue over which character we'd actually want to hang out with (hint: it's not O'Bannion). We'll also dig into that killer rock 'n' roll soundtrack — the one that makes you want to grab a cold one, hop in a muscle car, and cruise until sunrise.

This week on the Adult Beverage Film Podcast, we're heading straight to the glittering, high-heeled heart of South Beach, Miami, where the martinis are strong, the costumes are fabulous, and the dinner parties… well, let's just say they don't always go as planned. The Birdcage gives us Robin Williams as Armand Goldman, the suave owner of a drag club, and Nathan Lane as Albert — the diva of divas, a performer with more sequins than the Vegas strip. Life is perfect, until Armand's son Val announces he's marrying the daughter of ultra-conservative Senator Keeley (Gene Hackman). Cue the panic, the plan, and the inevitable parade of mistaken identities, awkward dinners, and fashion crimes against humanity. We'll sip and spill about the movie's razor-sharp wit, Robin's perfect straight-man-to-the-madness energy, Nathan Lane's comedic genius, and Gene Hackman's turn as a buttoned-up politician who somehow winds up in that outfit by the end (no spoilers, but… trust us). We'll also toast to the film's timeless themes of love, family, and the fact that pretending to be someone you're not is exhausting — especially if it means hiding your drag club furniture in the closet. So pour yourself something with a little extra flair (umbrella optional but encouraged), pull up a chair, and join Kent, Patrick, Laura, and Squeeker as we celebrate one of the most riotously funny comedies ever made. This one's got everything — love, acceptance, feathers, farce, and enough champagne to fuel an entire Pride parade. 🎙 More episodes at: https://adultbeverage.net 📲 Stay connected with us on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram #TheBirdcage #RobinWilliams #NathanLane #GeneHackman #MoviePodcast #ComedyClassics #LGBTQFilm #AdultBeverageFilmPodcast #CultComedy #FilmTalkWithADrink

This week on the Adult Beverage Film Podcast, we're cracking open the bubbly (and maybe a pint of ice cream) to toast Love, Simon — the charming, heartfelt, and laugh-out-loud story of a teenager juggling high school drama, first love, and one not-so-small secret. Simon Spier looks like your average suburban teen — he's got great friends, loving parents, and a knack for witty one-liners — but he's also hiding a part of himself from the world. Between school musicals, awkward hallway run-ins, and mysterious emails from a secret admirer, Simon's life turns into a rom-com meets detective story, all while he's trying to figure out how to come out on his own terms. We'll sip and spill about the film's perfect blend of humor and heart, the painfully accurate high school moments (yes, even the cringe), and why love stories like this hit harder than a bottom-shelf tequila shot. Expect a few tears, a lot of laughs, and at least one debate over which cocktail pairs best with confessing your deepest feelings to your crush. So grab your drink, settle in, and join Kent, Patrick, Laura, and Squeeker for a sweet, sassy, and slightly tipsy celebration of a film that proves love is love — and it's always worth raising a glass to. 🎙 More episodes at: https://adultbeverage.net 📲 Don't forget to check us out on Adult Beverage Film Podcast and stay connected with us on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram

Expect epic space battles, top-tier trash talk, and emotional gut punches that'll hit harder than Groot's tree trunk on a bad day.

And yes, we'll talk about that James Gunn magic — the perfect blend of heart, humor, and insane cosmic chaos. So grab your beverage of choice, hop aboard the Milano, and join us for a tipsy trip through new worlds, killer one-liners, and the kind of friendship that can survive literal explosions. 🎙 More episodes at: https://adultbeverage.net 🎙 More episodes at: https://adultbeverage.net 📲 Don't forget to check us out on Adult Beverage Film Podcast and stay connected with us on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram
