Love, Vodka, and Oligarch Drama — Nicholas Brown Joins Us for Sean Baker’s Anora! 07/31/2025

Love, Vodka, and Oligarch Drama — Nicholas Brown Joins Us for Sean Baker’s Anora! Get ready to uncork some serious conversation (and maybe pop a few questionable champagne corks), because this episode of the Adult Beverage Film Podcast is hopping on a private jet straight into Sean Baker’s wild, heartfelt, and occasionally vodka-soaked Anora. Helping us navigate this whirlwind of love, chaos, and Russian family drama is special guest Nicholas Brown — camera assistant extraordinaire with credits on The Righteous Gemstones, Halloween Ends, Outer Banks, and Mr. Mercedes. He’s also the mastermind behind The Second Sticks Podcast and co-host of Focus Puller At Work Podcast, meaning he’s got both the insider scoop on what happens behind the camera… and the gossip about what happens after a few too many wrap-party drinks. Joining Nicholas are your favorite cinematic drinking buddies: Kent Smith (our award-winning producer, director, and camera guru), Patrick G. Keenan (actor in 61+ films and counting), Laura Truman (film critic and vintage film hoarder), and Carlisle “Squeaker” Hamrick (audio wizard and full-time movie curmudgeon). We’re clinking glasses while diving into Ani’s fairy-tale-meets-trainwreck romance with Vanya, the rich, too-young son of a Russian oligarch. Imagine Pretty Woman—but swap the limo for a Gulfstream jet, the glass slipper for a mink coat, and add a high-speed, vodka-fueled chase through Brooklyn. We’ll be breaking down Baker’s signature mix of screwball comedy, gut-punch emotion, and razor-sharp social commentary, all while asking the important questions: How many martinis does it take to make an oligarch’s son look like Prince Charming? What cocktail pairs best with a hasty international annulment? And is there enough tequila in Brooklyn to erase the memory of marrying into a family that makes Succession look tame? So pour yourself something strong (but maybe not Russian Standard unless you’re feeling brave), and join us for an episode full of laughs, filmmaking insights, and the kind of relationship advice you definitely shouldn’t take seriously. 🎙 Listen now and explore more episodes at /episode/index/show/adultbeverage/id/37622575

Everything Everywhere All At Once (Dan Kwan, Daniel Scheinert) 01/13/2023

Everything Everywhere All At Once (Dan Kwan, Daniel Scheinert) Once upon a time, in the year 2022, a film was released that would change the way people thought about time and reality. The film was called "Everything Everywhere All at Once". The film followed the story of a young woman named Evelyn Wang played by Michelle Yeoh, who, after a near-death experience, discovered that she had the ability to see and experience all of time and space simultaneously. At first, Evelyn was overwhelmed by the sheer amount of information and stimuli she was receiving, but as she learned to control and focus her powers, she was able to use her unique perspective to solve problems and help those in need. As Evelyn journeyed through different eras and parts of the world, she encountered various characters, each with their own challenges and struggles. Some were stuck in the past, others were lost in the present, and still others were afraid of what the future held. But through her interactions with them, Evelyn was able to help them find their way, and in turn, they helped her understand the true nature of her powers and her place in the world. The film was a visual feast, showcasing stunning landscapes and breathtaking action sequences that took the audience on a journey through time and space. The special effects team behind the film created a world that was both familiar and strange, and the cinematography was nothing short of breathtaking. But the true magic of the film was its message. It explored the idea that everything is connected, and that all moments in time exist simultaneously. It challenged the audience to reconsider their perception of reality and to embrace the idea that the future is not set in stone, and that they have the power to shape it. "Everything Everywhere All at Once" was a hit with audiences and critics alike, winning numerous awards and cementing its place as one of the most groundbreaking and thought-provoking films of the year. The film inspired countless discussions and debates, and its impact is still being felt today, years after its release. In conclusion, "Everything Everywhere All at Once" was a film that changed the way people saw the world and themselves, and it remains a timeless masterpiece that will continue to be cherished and remembered for generations to come.
