"The person who handed you this card is under the care of a prescription puppet" | The Beaver

from Kentucky Fried Critics · host Kentucky Fried Critics

This week we unpacked the fascinatingly weird 2011 film The Beaver, directed by Jodie Foster. A movie with a deceptive trailer that pulled us in with a wild premise and promises of absurd humor. Is it a bizarre dark comedy, a tragic look at mental health, or just Mel Gibson talking to his hand in a weird accent? To help us cope with the heavy themes and puppet-induced existential dread, we cracked open another perfect pairing in No Beavers Were Harmed, a luxurious Vanilla Bean Nitro Stout from the folks at our local brewery Sawstone Brewing Co. With hints of vanilla and a creamy nitro finish it is perfect for the film's wild highs and emotional lows.Please treat him as you normally would, but address yourself to the puppet.Instagram - @kentuckyfriedcriticsFacebook - www.facebook.com/kentuckyfriedcriticsYouTube - www.youtube.com/@kfcriticsE-mail - [email protected] - patreon.com/kentuckyfriedcriticsKo-Fi (to buy us a beer) - ko-fi.com/kentuckyfriedcriticsMerch - bonfire.com/store/kentucky-fried-critics#TheBeaver #MovieReview #Podcast #BeerPairing #NoBeaversWereHarmed
