Movie And A Beer Episode 163: Tropic Thunder

On this jungle exploring episode of Movie And A Beer, we discuss the rather farcical action flick Tropic Thunder. With an excellent cast of actors portraying actors portraying stereotypes we expect from Hollywood, this movie achieves what few only hope too, in that it pulls off making fun of itself without taking itself too seriously. Ben Stiller, Jack Black, and Robert Downey Jr. are the main protagonist(s) whom exemplify the worst parts of being an "A-Lister" effectively while the supporting cast bring it all together.  Along the way we also sampled three beers which brought different profiles and abilities to our tastebuds. The first two were lagers from Old Town Brewing (OR), and Baerlic Brewing (OR), while the third was a wild ale from Funky Fauna (OR). Listen in on the episode for a deep dive into lager styles and how or why these are successful with this film.
