Her (2013)

Don't choke yourself with a dead cat over this, but here at Two Dudes, Brews, and Reviews we're reviewing the 2013 Spike Jonze romantic-drama 'Her'. Starring Joaquin Phoenix and Scarlett Johansson - and featuring a great supporting cast of Amy Adams, Rooney Mara, Chris Pratt and Olivia Wilde - this film explores the human condition, relationships, and the effects of technology in the 21st century. This is the first time we've really delved into a romance based movie - and it's honestly probably one of the best ones since Eternal Sunshine and the Spotless Mind. We get into our relationship with Spike Jonze directed films, our possible gripes with the humor, and the beautiful soundtrack by Arcade Fire. We're going pretty light on life updates here - Alex recently went to Columbus and maybe (?) saw heroin their, and Austin is taking recommendations from his brother Blake (thanks Blake!). Austin thinks the movie about the guy who fucks his computer deserves an Oscar over 12 Years a Slave, and Alex agrees. By the way - we're drinking 'Ache' by Ohio based Brewery 'Heartland'.
