Right as the month of June is ready to end, it's the final episode of June Bugs! And it's an episode full of mystery. Dustin and Logan try a cocktail they've never had before (also called the June Bug) and watch a film neither of them know anything about, 1988's The Nest. It's a twisty, turny finale to another themed month! They also wrap up the whole month. The boys will be back soon with some more booze and movie fun!
Jerry O'Connell is back! This time, the star of Piranha 3D is tangling with singing cockroaches and New York landlords in the 1996 MTV Films flop, Joe's Apartment. Meanwhile, Logan and Dustin are drinking the Uptown IPA from Firetrucker Brewery and trying everything in their power to avoid talking about the previously mentioned film, including discussing their lawns.
Dustin and Logan are dipping into some classic cinema this week with 1954's Them! It's a black and white thriller full of post-WWII nuclear fears in the form of big f***ing ants. It's pretty fun. The fellas pair this celluloid relic with a classic cocktail: an old fashioned made from Four Roses Bourbon. This episode kinda goes all over the place, but in a good way! Logan and Dustin dip into some cinema history, the difference in horror films between different cultures, the origin of their friend...
The boys are back for another round of bug-based blabbering! Logan are Dustin discuss Starship Troopers and have a really hard time deciding if the movie is really smart or really dumb. They dig into the satire within the film, the intentions of the book it's based on, and the effects that still very much hold up. And since they're intellectuals now, they pair this discussion with a wine; Camelot Mead from Oliver Winery & Vineyards. Logan also tells the story of why the show has two email ad...
Dustin and Logan are kicking off another theme month! JUNE BUGS is all about insect-based cinema and the creepy-crawly research that comes along with it. In this first episode, the boys are watching the 1986 David Cronenberg film The Fly! They discuss what hasn't aged well and what is still very much effective in this Jeff Goldblum vehicle. They also sip on Rogue Ales' Honey Kolsch (it has a bee on the can) and dig into some research on everyone's favorite pest, the housefly. Be afraid. BE VERY ...
That's right, Logan and Dustin decided to completely step away from animal-based cinema to talk about the latest attempt at a Mortal Kombat film! They review the film and even pitch their own versions of what an MK film could be. As for the beer they're tasting, Dustin brought in some beers he brewed and he makes the mistake of letting Logan name them. The boys also review an episode of the late 90s television series, Mortal Kombat: Conquest and ramble about a bunch of other things. It's a good ...
Dustin and Logan originally recorded a very long episode for St. Batrick's Day but they didn't want to subject you to that in one sitting. However, they decided to cut this bonus mini-episode that includes bonus booze talk and some bat talk! Logan discussed his love for bats, Dustin shared some bat research and they both went on some Batman tangents!
Welcome to St. Batrick's Day!!! It's a (week late) celebration of St. Patrick's Day combined with some more zoological cinema. This time, Logan and Dustin are drinking some Irish brews and watching the 1999 film Bats! They've got some #festfacts about St. Patrick's Day, they make black and tans (Guinness combined with Harp Lager), and they dig into some history about Guinness and Jameson. They also review and share information about the Lou Diamond Phillips film that straight up made them both n...
Logan and Dustin recover from their journey while sipping on Alaskan Brewing Co.'s White and watching the super chill, fun movie Grizzly Man. They discuss the strange personalities around the film and discuss their mental health. They also rank the best and worst of FebBEARary.
Logan and Dustin take refuge in a cave to recover from the loss of Caleb. Luckily, they have the Paddington movies to keep them company in these dark times. They also drink the final combinations from the Leinenkugel's Brewology pack to give them fuel for their final showdown with the bear...
Picking up right where the last episode left off, Dustin, Logan, and special guest Caleb Woodley finally dig into the meat of Into the Grizzly Maze. Dustin also has some very specific research to share. Hopefully nothing will compromise the safety of Uncle Hoagie's cabin...
While still taking refuge in the cabin, Dustin and Logan are surprised by an unexpected visitor (special guest Caleb Woodley). Together, they all pass the time by drinking Jack Daniel's Tennessee Honey and watching Into the Grizzly Maze starring James Marsden, Thomas Jane, and Billy Bob Thornton.
After running away from a bear and now caught in a storm, Dustin and Logan take refuge in an old cabin to drink some more of their Leinenkugel's brews and watch an old film reel of the 1976 film Grizzly that they just happened to find. They also discuss grizzly bears in general and dig into some bear attack facts. Hopefully, their new refuge will not be threatened...
Dustin Pixley and Logan Nielsen were on their way to record a new podcast in a remote cabin in the Alaska when tragedy struck. Luckily, they had already watched the 1997 film the Edge to discuss and brought a case of Leinenkugel's new Brewology Pack to help them survive. They also pass the time with some research on bears and going through the career of Bart the Bear. Welcome to FebBEARary!
On the last day of Fishmas, Dustin and Logan watch the Academy Award Winning film, the Shape of Water, and discuss all the issues they have with it. They drink some Founders' Centennial IPA and Three Floyds' Dark Lord while talking about all the confusing horniness of the movie. They also dig into a holiday tradition from the Peruvian Andes that America should absolutely adopt. Thanks again for listening to another batch of fish-based nonsense. The boys will be back in the new year with a slight...
Hang on, folks! We're going from fish to fish-people as Logan and Dustin are inexplicably talking about the 1989 Disney classic The Little Mermaid. They pair this animated children's musical with O'Dell Brewing Company's Drumroll Hazy Pale Ale to start and then split a bottle of Goose Island's Bourbon County Stout. They also dig into the life of Little Mermaid author Hans Christian Andersen, Logan gets passionate about voice actors, and the boys discuss bags vs. cornhole.
Believe it or not, Logan and Dustin are STILL discussing Piranha 3D! In this episode, they cover the rest of the movie as well as discuss the Walking Dead and Arby's. And after they wrap up the movie chat, they dig into some research on piranhas and how they are (surprise) nothing like we think they are. Fishmas: We have the deets!
On the second day of Fishmas, my true love gave to me, a gratuitously violent skin flick called Piranha 3D. That's right, it's the first non-shark movie of the podcast, but there's still plenty of mayhem to be had! It's also another beer double-header as Dustin and Logan drink some Bell's Two Hearted Ale and then SAVOR a bottle of aged Surly Darkness. They also have a very hard time sticking to the movie. Tangent topics include: sushi, Wilford Brimley, how grocery stores get their stuff, Gremlin...
Logan and Dustin are back and kicking off Fishmas! It's an expansion of Sharktoberfest where they will not only be shifting their focus away from the Oktoberfest celebration, but they will also be broadening their scope to include movies about fish other than sharks. Although, this first one is a shark movie as they tackle the new holiday classic, Santa Jaws. They also sample a couple of Dogfish Head beers (Slightly Mighty and 120-Minute Pale Ale) and do some research about the bizarro Santa Cla...
On this national day of Thanksgiving, Logan and Dustin reunite to consume a feast of beers in the form of Surly's Mixed Messages Variety Pack. They also watch the 2012 Halle Berry vehicle Dark Tide and have zero fun doing it. However, they do have fun goofing around as usual and even cover some Shark News! Have a safe and happy Sharksgiving, y'all!
We made it! It's the final episode of Sharktoberfest! Dustin and Logan are wrapping up this strange, month-long experiment with a finale special that ties it all up. First, they sample their top three beers from the month to crown a winner. Then, they give a conclusive ranking to (mostly) all of the films viewed for the show. And finally, they flesh out some of their own movie pitches they came up with throughout the month. It's been a blast. Thanks for coming along on this strange voyage and ke...
The boys are down to one last Jaws movie and this time it's personal! Dustin and Logan discuss the famously bad sequel, Jaws: The Revenge, while sipping on an Oktoberfest brew from local brewer Fat Hill. Dustin also doles out some good beer knowledge and in a twist, Logan brings in some #festfacts!
The boys are kicking off the week with a shark cartoon! Dustin and Logan watched a couple episodes of the totally not a ripoff of TMNT cartoon, Street Sharks! They also sample the Oktoberfest from Exile Brewing while they cover some #festfacts and handle some breaking shark news! Plus, the origins of another Fast and Furious alum. P.S. There was a tech issue that led to some re-recording being done which delayed the episode. Logan and Dustin explain it in the show.
The boys are going rogue! Logan and Dustin take a break from terrible shark movies to watch the classic monster movie Tremors! It was originally pitched as "Land Shark" so it's sort of connected. They are also taking a break from Oktoberfest beers and drinking the "island style lager" also called Land Shark! They may be bad boys, but the conversation is good as they discuss the filmmaking tricks that make Tremors so effective. There's also a new development in the "Comin' On" saga.
It's time for the boys to hurt themselves with another Jaws sequel. Luckily, they have Founders' Oktoberfest to keep them company. Logan has the details on why this movie was a bad idea, Dustin has facts about beer tents, and they both have feelings about SeaWorld. They also get pretty drunk in this one. Come get sloppy!
The boys are back and they're rambling more than ever! Dustin and Logan kickoff the week with an in-depth beer discussion on Backpocket Brewing's Hawktoberfest and then dip into some SHARK NEWS! Then, they regrettably watch Sharknado and do an extensive deep dive into the company that produced Sharknado, ripoff artists, The Asylum.
We're at the halfway point! Logan and Dustin are wrapping up the second week of Sharktoberfest with a disappointing movie and a decent and apostrophe-laden beer. They drink Boulevard's Bob's '47 and watch the 2016 Blake Lively vehicle, the Shallows. They also dig into some facts about shark attacks and you know they got some #festfacts!
For this installment Dustin and Logan are getting deep into some history! They watch the 1991 TV movie, Mission of the Shark: The Saga of the USS Indianapolis but mainly focus on the insane real life story that inspired the film. Don't worry though, there's still plenty of beer talk, many tangents, and some #FestFacts!
It's the second week of Sharktoberfest so Logan and Dustin are watching the second film in the Jaws franchise. Jaws 2 may be a whole lot of "meh" but this episode's beer (Schell's Oktoberfest) is a real crowd pleaser! They also dig into the story behind the film and the moments that were clear signs this movie was a bad idea.
Jason Statham + giant, prehistoric shark = disappointing movie. Luckily, Logan and Dustin have some New Glarus Staghorn Octoberfest to keep them company as they try to swallow this 2018 movie about the megalodon. Then, they dig into what is known about the actual megalodon and cover the evolution of an even more majestic creature: Jason Statham. Dustin also shows Logan a music video that everyone needs to watch RIGHT NOW!!! Thanks for listening to the first week of SHARKTOBERFEST! Three more wee...
