Movie And A Beer Episode 184: Gentlemen Broncos

With amazing special effects and writing, Movie And A Beer found ourselves in the midst of a challenging yet provocative sci-fi driven and all around good film titled Gentlemen Broncos. Released in 2009, it was written by Jared and Jerusha Hess and directed by Jared Hess of Napoleon Dynamite and Nacho Libre fame. The film stars Michael Angarano, Jemaine Clement, Jennifer Coolidge, and Sam Rockwell and follows a teenage author whose fantasy story is plagiarized by an established author, as well as made into a low-budget film by a local director. It has a lot of interesting humor and the plight of the young author is one that we could all relate to and understand how one's expectations are rarely met when it comes to your dreams and life.  While enjoying the movie, we sipped on a couple of great beers. First up was a rye pale ale from local Leikam Brewing, a local spot out in SE Portland, followed by a 'tavern stout' collab from a couple of Seattle breweries, Human People Beer and Bizarre Brewing. We have a great discussion about stouts and other dark beers, so give the episode a listen to hear about that and what other films we might pair up with astounding movie.
