WE’RE BACK, BABY!

We said we were done. Then All Horror October happened, and apparently, that was enough to drag us back into the studio for a surprise four-episode series! All horror every Wednesday this October.

BaaM OG co-host Carlos Cooper joins us for a trip back to 1960 and two films that helped lay the groundwork for the modern slasher flick: Peeping Tom (1960) and Eyes Without a Face (1960).

We’ll dig into these two wildly different horror classics, their influence, their unsettling approach to horror, and why both deserve a place in the conversation about the movies that helped shape what horror would become.

And because Oktoberfests are an All Horror October tradition, we're keeping that part alive, too! This episode features Live Oak Brewing's Oaktoberfest and a very special 2022 St. Arnold Brewing Pumpkinator.

Four surprise episodes. Classic horror. Great beer. Old friends back around the microphones.

After 8 years, 900 beers, and more movie debates than we can possibly count…this is it — the final episode of Beer and a Movie.

Our last film — the one we could not end without reviewing — is The Legend of Billie Jean: the definitive film review of this underrated masterpiece and our love letter to Corpus Christi, the city where BaaM was created. The takes on Billie Jean get surprisingly heated

For the beers, we keep it meaningful. We start with Martin House Brewing’s Peace Be the Journey — a toast to the 8-year journey we’ve all been on together. Then Joe pulls out something truly special: Barreled Souls Brewing's Honey Pot, a gift from Dave over a decade ago, saved for exactly the right moment.

And because it’s the last one, we lean into it. We talk about what Beer and a Movie might’ve looked like if COVID hadn’t changed everything, shout out the many recurring guests who became part of the fabric of the show, and take time to say a genuine thank you to everyone who listened, supported, and shared a beer with us along the way.

Carlos is here to help send us off the right way, and in a perfect bit of full-circle timing, Joe’s long-dreamed-of guest finally makes an appearance: Dave’s wife, Errin, with a surprise pop-in that feels like it was always meant to happen.

It’s the end — so we let it be. One last conversation, one last round, and the only way we knew how to go out.

PS: Fair is fair.
