Movie And A Beer Episode 193: Zardoz

On this sci-fi driven episode of Movie And A Beer we watched the classic 1974 movie Zardoz. Directed by John Boorman with Sean Connery, Charlotte Rampling, and Sara Kestelman in staring roles. It explores the ruling class of beings called Eternals and their boredom with immortality in the year 2293. Zed (Sean Connery) is one of their Brutals who helps manage the lower class and discovers that Zardoz is a fake god by stowing away inside of it secretly, which travels to the protected lands of the Eternals known as the Vortex. Once in the Vortex, Zed upends their stagnant, sexless, and eternally bored society, leading to wild philosophical consequences. Along the way we sipped on a couple of great beers and first up was a Pale Ale from Away Days (OR) and second was a Helles Lager from Cooper Mountain Ale Works (OR). There was one that was slightly better than the other, give the episode a listen to hear which, and our take on how this movie is worth the watch.
