Cheers and enjoy Brewskis!! you can find Rob at Twitter @kimbrough_rob and his blog at then-play-on.com

We dive into the behind-the-scenes drama surrounding Shazam 2, the slump the MCU has found itself in, and what the future of super-heroic films could look like.

Wrapping up what was nothing short of a fantastic first season, we give a full review of HBO's The Last of Us. *Beer of the Week* Hourglass Brewing Chizzard Double IPA
Is AI a helping hand to struggling artists or a quick way to steal another artist's hard work? That's at the center of a controversy brewing with the artists over at Corridor Digital. Speaking of digital art, one detail that seems to be tough for some game developers is Black hair. After years of games only offering afros and cornrows (if you were lucky), things have begun changing for the better --- but still have room to improve. No word on if a new game is coming, but the new animated Teenage...
What is an "All Foam" episode? Well, it's our version of an evergreen, zero-preparation flurry of whatever the beer gods inspire us to discuss. Strap in, pour up, and go for a ride down the ol' stream of consciousness.

Is Vin Diesel the Orson Welles of our time? Maybe not. But if the trailer for Fast X is any indication, he'll begin the end of the franchise with bombast and physics-defying action. Along with other Super Bowl trailers, we also review the latest Last of Us episodes, speculate on I Am Legend 2, and the MCU's stumble out of the gates into phase 5. 0:00:00 Beer Intro 0:05:28 HBO's The Last of Us Episodes 4 & 5 0:24:55 Antman and the Wasp: Quantumania Review Slump 0:44:26 The Tragedy of I Am Leg...
We're honored to welcome back a friend of the show, Second City Chicago alum, and Batman aficionado, Bryan Andino. Together, we revisit James Gunn's vision for the DC Universe and AMC's theater-goer-screwing new tactic to drum up funds. All that, plus conspiracy theories on Hogwarts Legacy's early reviews and fallout from former fans. Cheers! *Beer of the Week* Sideward Brewing Co.

Catching up with HBO's The Last of Us episodes 2-3, we may have a real contender for prestige TV on our hands. Then, we go over the now–canceled plans Netflix construed to block profile sharing. And finally, James Gunn has some long–term plans for the future of DC — from video games to TV and movies. But will his new take soar high or get its cape stuck in an industrial fan? Cheers! *Beer of the Week* Cigar City Brewing Cosmic Crown Belgian–Style Golden Strong Ale 0:00:00 The Not–Cold Open 00:04...
Creators have been exclusively NOT rocking in 2023. With heinous allegations against Rick and Morty's Justin Roiland and Channel 5's Andrew Callaghan, we're yet again forced to question if we can support art without cosigning the artist in the process. Speaking of, with Hogwarts Legacy coming soon, can allies of Trans people buy it in good conscience? Also, Velma is making headlines for all the wrong reasons, Xbox had a slew of layoffs, and we got a sneak peek of The Madalorian's next season. Ch...
With festival lineup announcement season in full swing, there's a ton to talk about. Though we're historically Bonnaroo boys, Coachella is giving some good reason to scope out Cali this year. Which fest is best? Tune in and find out. Plus, is Childish Gambino coming back? Even though actor/rapper/writer/singer Donald Glover hinted at a retirement of his alter ego, it seems like he's in fact gearing up for a new project. Finally, the Golden Globes may have gotten it right this year -- but does th...
After the Buffalo Bills' Safety Damar Hamlin was resuscitated on the field, a lot of questions arose around the ethical standards of the NFL. Chief among them was, why did it take so long to officially call off the game after such an emotionally traumatic experience for all players involved? Beyond football, the UFC also saw its own share of controversy with company's president embattled after a New Year's Eve party gone awry. White was caught slapping his wife after she struck him. In a sport s...
With 2022 in the books, it's time to crown our official Beer of the Year. Who got the top score in the past year? Tune in, drink up, and raise a glass to a new year of new beers. *Beer of the Week* St. Bernardus 75th Anniversary

As Americans, one question is raised above all others every four years: Should we care about the World Cup? With freedom running through our veins, we dissect why football falls flat for so many red-blooded Americans. Then, we go all in on another round of Trailer Trash, covering Cocaine Bear, the Grinch horror parody (The Mean One), and The Super Mario Bros. Movie. Cheers! *Beer of the Week* Whippoorwill Beer House + Sideward Brewing Lowland Helles-Style Lager
#craftbeer #meta #biggiesmalls We see your Tupac hologram and raise you a Biggie Smalls VR experience. Yes, Meta (fka Facebook) has created a "celebration" of the Notorious B.I.G. in their virtual reality platform. Sure, it's kinda gross to use dead artists for monetary gain. But with Biggie's mom giving her blessing (and hopefully getting cut a big check), is rolling out the dead for one more post-mortem performance in bad taste? *Beer of the Week* Swamp Head Brewery Session Sour Ale
In a rare sequel episode, the One Beer In boys take another look at the Titanic Twitter tumble as Elon Musk continues to stumble through his newest venture. Will the dust settle or is the billionaire in over his head? Then, it's time to go over fresh Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 news with some clarification on what's cooking for their hotly anticipated Warzone 2.0. It's a...ahem...VERIFIED good time. Cheers! *Beer of the Week* Allagash Brewing Company Haunted House Hoppy Dark Ale
Elon Musk's purchase of Twitter has finally gone through and, let's just say, it hasn't been without a hitch. Can the ol Muskrat turn things around or is his plan to monetize the blue checkmark doomed? Also, a little video game called "Call of Duty" just released its latest installment into the revamped Modern Warfare franchise. Is it a well-oiled assault rifle or all jammed up? Finally, PlayStation seems to be fumbling the bag when it comes to their relatively new PlayStation Plus tiers. Is it ...
The One Reel In boys are back with one last review for the spooky season — Jordan Peele's epic extraterrestrial(?) thriller, Nope. How does it stack up to Us and Get Out? Can Peele keep up his cinematic win streak? There are tons to unpack, most of all, how powerful representation can be when it's not patronizing or thinly veiled tokenism. All that, plus a mothership of high-ABV beers to cap off Not So Sober October: the Hourglass Brewing Apricaustic extreme ABV apricot & honey beer. Tune in...
Is Bones a classic of horror cinema? Maybe not. But it's got a gothic castle in the middle of a city...and that counts for something. But even with some weak visual effects and writing, can Bones win us over — or is it all bark an no bite? Also, join us in sipping a special concoction perfect for Not-So-Sober-October, the Cigar City Brewing As A Treat Imperial Stout. Cheers!
The world is wide and full of horrors — and Senegalese film, Saloum, helps prove that that's a VERY good thing. Taking a look at our first international film of the spooky season, we review this genre-bending, crime caper/supernatural thriller with an incredible cast and super stylistic directing. Plus, keeping the good times flowing, we've got a 10% abv banger from D9 Brewing Co. perfect for pumpkin season: the Head of the Horsemen Imperial Pumpkin Ale. Just remember, vengeance is a river...and...
After Hurricane Ian hit Florida with a slobber-knocker of a storm, the brew boys are back with the annual Not-So-Sober October. If you're not familiar, this is a month meant to celebrate beers on the bold side, featuring only brews that hit 10 abv and above. But this is not JUST high abv season...it's also the start of a horror movie marathon of One Reel In episodes all October long. This year, we'll feature reviews of horror films from the minds of Black creators who, for far too long, didn't g...

#CraftBeer #HarryStyles #CallOfDuty Look, this all may be celeb drama drummed up to add buzz to Olivia Wilde's latest film behind the camera, Don't Worry Darling. And yet, it's just too juicy to NOT jump headfirst into like an Olympic diver. Did Harry Styles spit on Chris Pine? Is Olivia Wilde problematic? Is anyone checking in on Florence Pugh??? We touch on it all with Marco's breakdown of gossip and internet slander. Also on tap, we've got a topic a little more aligned with our usual field of...
Love it or hate it, the pumpkin spice invasion is upon us. Is early September too early to get into the spooky season and all of it's orange-tinged glory? Plus, Marco gets one last (first) impression of his PlayStation 5 when he beats Spider-Man Miles Morales. All that and a smorgasbord of everything on your two brew dudes' minds await with a special, seasonal favorite from Hourglass Brewing. Cheers! *Beer of the Week* Hourglass Brewing All Hallows Imperial Pumpkin Ale
With Marco fresh aboard the S.S. PS5, we talk his first impressions dipping his toe into the new gen of video gaming. Since he also go the version including a disc drive, it's also a great time to talk about the pros of buying physical media — from 4K Blu-rays to games on disc. Plus, just in time, Gamescom featured a new pro controller from Sony, the DualSense Edge. Will it be worth the probably sky-high price? Then, an AI-powered rapper was recently powered down after it became clear its creato...
