Movie And A Beer Episode 186: Hail, Caesar!

With nostalgia in our bones, we at Movie And A Beer appreciate the finer nuances of the craft when it pays homage to the Golden Age of Cinema....this time around, it's Hail, Caesar!, a Cohen brothers production. Set in the 1950's it follows studio boss Eddie Mannix played by Josh Brolin as he sets out to handle the day to day activities and chaos that is taking place on the movie lot. The main plot follows the story of one of their biggest stars getting kidnapped by Communist sympathizers and Eddie's job is to get him back and save the film. Along with some amazing visuals and acting, we enjoyed a couple of beers along with the movie. First up as a pilsner from Silver Falls Brewing (OR), followed by an IPA from Old Town Brewing (OR). Both provided a great and refreshing addition to the film. Listen in to hear more about the history of Old Town Pizza & Brewing and what it means to get "shanghaied".
