Acting Out

Frankenstein (2025)

In this episode, the guys break down Guillermo del Toro's Frankenstein: the performances, the visuals, the themes, and the moments that hit hardest. From Oscar Isaac's razor-sharp delivery to Jacob Elordi's towering take on the creature, we get into why this adaptation feels both fresh and faithful. We also talk about what the film says about responsibility, loneliness, and "merciless life," along with some very on-brand detours into movie theaters, streaming platforms, and the strange direction society seems to be heading. If you've watched the film, you'll feel right at home. If you haven't, this episode might convince you to. Watch the full episode on our Beer Me Guys YouTube Channel!

Black Phone 2

In this episode of The Acting Out Podcast, Trev, Dave, and Shea break down Black Phone 2, Ethan Hawke's supernatural return as everyone's favourite dead serial killer. We get into the Christian summer camp setting, the VHS-style dream sequences, and why this sequel somehow makes sense… even when it absolutely shouldn't. We talk: • Kids getting tossed around kitchens and stuffed in pizza ovens • The camp owners dropping the most passive-aggressive "I'll pray for you" ever • Why horror sequels struggle to stay grounded • Whether this franchise can—or should—continue • Trev's former life at a Christian retreat (don't ask) It's chaotic, unhinged, and weirdly thoughtful. Classic us. Listen in as we argue, overthink, and somehow still recommend the movie—just make sure you watch the first one (unlike Shea) Check out the video version on our Beer Me Guys YouTube channel!

Weapons

The guys break down Weapons, the new horror from Barbarian director Zach Cregger. Dark, funny, and totally unpredictable, they dig into why it works, what freaked them out, and how it compares to Barbarian. Plus, a few wild tangents about serial killers, bad hangovers, and the infamous "Weed Me" shoot gone wrong. Check out the video version on our Beer Me Guys YouTube channel!

Summer Blockbuster Recap

Ten movies. One summer. Endless opinions. From Until Dawn and Mission Impossible: Final Reckoning to 28 Years Later and The Naked Gun, we break down the best, worst, and weirdest films of the summer, with plenty of laughs (and a few rants) along the way.

Superman

The boys are back and this time we're tackling James Gunn's brand-new Superman. From Snyder's moody Man of Steel days, to The Rock's failed Black Adam takeover, to Cavill's exit and Cornswet's debut — we break down the chaos of DC's past and where it's headed now. Expect drunken tangents, Smallville sex-quakes, bamboo penis bottle openers, and the occasional legitimate film insight. It's chaotic, it's raunchy, and it's very much Acting Out. Video version available on our Beer Me Guys YouTube Channel!

Sinners

Trev, Dave, and Shea go deep on Sinners, the new genre-defying cult hit from Ryan Coogler. Part vampire flick, part character drama, part horned-up barn rave — this thing slaps. We get into the performances, the cinematography, the ending, and why more movies need to stop spoon-feeding us exposition. And of course, it wouldn't be an episode without some detours: pirated porn on LimeWire, VHS nostalgia, and whether Face Off deserves a Criterion release.

Accountant 2

This week on the Acting Out Podcast, the gang dives into The Accountant 2 — a sequel that somehow works by going full odd-couple buddy movie. We talk Jon Bernthal's scene-stealing energy, whether Ben Affleck's character growth makes sense, and how the emotional arc between two lonely brothers hits harder than expected. Plus: rants about Amazon Prime, the death of DVDs, movie villain letdowns, and yes… a bathtub electrocution tangent. Standard stuff. Check out the video on our YouTube Channel here!

The Amateur

In this episode, we crack a cold one and talk all things The Amateur — from Rami Malek's quietly brilliant casting to Jon Bernthal's scene-stealing moments. We also question the movie's pacing, the logic of the central romance, and celebrate a good old-fashioned spy thriller actually making it to theaters. As usual, the conversation flies off the rails with some hilarious high school party stories, kleptomaniac phases, and an in-depth (possibly too in-depth) discussion about male full-frontal scenes in movies. You've been warned. Check out the video on Youtube!

A Working Man

Trev, Dave, and Shea dive into The Working Man, a baffling new Jason Statham action film that blends human trafficking, drug rings, Bluetooth-enabled murder, and trench coat-wearing Russian mobsters — all with zero logic and questionable dialogue. They discuss whether Sylvester Stallone wrote it as a prank, what went wrong with the direction, and why some moments felt like AI-generated filler. Bonus tangents include White Lotus, Girl Meets World, Sabrina Carpenter, and Dave's mic technique. An honest, hilariously frustrated breakdown of a movie that truly broke them. Video of this episode is also up on YouTube!
