Movie And A Beer

On this teenage story episode of Movie And A Beer, we discuss with our youth correspondent Otto the recent film Apollo 10 1⁄2: A Space Age Childhood , by Richard Linklater. The film is pseudo-autobiographical in nature and takes you to the moon and back in this story about growing up in the 1960s in Houston, TX. Visually, it's animated but most of the scenes were filmed live-action and then later turned into the rotoscoped style as the director has done on some of his previous films. This feels like an ad for the 1960's with the injection of products and daily life of teen's during that time brought to you in vivid color. 

We enjoyed a couple of beers along the way as well, including a West Coast style Pilsner from Roses By The Stairs (AZ), and followed that with an IPA from Binary Brewing Co. (OR). Both lent a nice flavor to the visuals while we watched. Listen in to hear about those, and a lot of other conversations about growing up and how events like this impact our lives.
