Movie And A Beer Episode 177: Brothers

On this jewel heist family drama of Movie And A Beer, we watched and review Brothers, a 2024 film from Max Barbakow which stars Peter Dinklage and Josh Brolin as thieving siblings that are drawn into a plot to recover some stolen emeralds that their mother had hidden years prior on their dead step-father. While some might argue that this is more of a family drama film where the kids have to come to grips with the choices that their parents made, and try to learn from them (be it in good or bad ways), there is some redeeming qualities to the story. The acting is pretty good by the brothers and mother who shows up later on, the plot (while including of some holes here and there) is believable to an extent, and the supporting cast really shine as they figure out how to retrieve their lost inheritance.  Along the way we had a couple of great lagers, one from Recluse Brew Works (WA) and the other was from Montavilla Brew Works. Both had some exceptional qualities to them, and both actually went pretty well. We also spend a few minutes discussing the history of the podcast and why we do what we do. So give this episode a listen and hear all about that and this interesting family/comedy/heist movie.
