Fast Five 40 | Cursed Cheerleaders, Big Bean, & AI Narnia
Welcome to Fast Five #40! It takes 40 weeks for a human fetus to fully develop, yet here we are, 78 total episodes into Beer Me That Movie, still operating at the mental level of a damp sponge. But as Jon's youth pastor used to say, "it’s better to be damp than dry!"Before we dive into the Untappd trenches, we take a trip back in time to recap last week's feature film, Freelance. We successfully invented a brand new movie genre—the "Rom-Com-Shun" (Rom-Com Action)—and basically turned the episode into a Marisa Tomei tribute cast. We navigated the difficult dating life of an assassin, got stuck in a washing machine in high heels, and drank mezcal out of a wine glass.We fuel up with our Beer of the Week: the legendary Tropicália from Creature Comforts Brewing Co. This 6.6% balanced, soft, and juicy IPA washes over the palate with passion fruit and citrus. It's an absolute classic—so good that even Thor drinks it in the Marvel movies!-Chant (Burial Beer Co): High school cheerleaders find an ancient spell book in the woods and incorporate the cursed chants into their Friday night routines. Soon, the whole town is mind-controlled, and the only hope to save them are the school's deaf kids and Victor, a Brazilian exchange student who doesn't understand English.-It's a Whole Thing (Original Pattern Brewing): A massive conspiracy thriller where a wellness influencer tries to expose the dark, controlling lobby of "Big Bean." When she mysteriously disappears, her biggest fan has to put the pieces together to make the story "whole."-Ramdom (Chroma): A terrifying sci-fi where the "perfect" arcade game sucks your consciousness into an AI Narnia and replaces you in the real world with an optimized AI clone. The only way to escape the game? Defeating the final boss—a German dominatrix.-How Far to Mars? (Flying Machine Brewing Company): The first-ever space road trip movie! A miserable dad packs his family into a space-Winnebago for an excruciatingly long trip to "Seven Flags" on Mars, secretly wishing he could just take his helmet off and end it all.-Revive (Batch Brewing Company): A tech startup offers a $50,000/month "AI service" to talk to your dead loved ones. The terrifying twist? It's actually necromancy, and the "AI" is pulling demonic souls straight from Hell to convince you to do their evil bidding.As always, only four survive. We officially sent one of these floating into the Vault to wait for another day, leaving the remaining four pitches up to you.
