  1. Far From "Spider-Man: Far From Home" [Redux]

    8H AGO

    Far From "Spider-Man: Far From Home" [Redux]

    You know, Shayne and I set out to talk about Spider‑Man: Far From Home, but like any good Marvel movie, we immediately veered into a Phase One origin story. Because nothing says “focused podcasting” like spending twenty minutes ranking movies from 2008. Grab your shield, your hammer, or your preemptive‑strike bathroom plan — we’re assembling. Round 312! (A Redux of Round 28 from June 11, 2020!) In this round we discuss: Iron Man’s surprise greatnessHulk actor musical chairsThor, Natalie Portman, and Kat DenningsCaptain America: peak patriotism and peak Chris EvansThe legendary "preemptive strike" bathroom strategyJay's definitive Phase One ranking (The Avengers is NOT #1, and Shayne is personally offended)~~~~~~~ Want bonus rounds, early access, and the warm fuzzy feeling of supporting two guys who can't stay on topic? Join Beer Thursday on Patreon! ~~~~~~~ Jay snaps heroic photos of drinks, cigars, and occasionally himself pretending to be Thor. Follow the beertography adventures and join the visual side of Beer Thursday! ~~~~~~~ If Beer Thursday has ever made you laugh, snort, or spit out your drink — subscribe, leave a rating, and drop a review! It helps more people find us, and frankly, we need the validation. ~~~~~~~ Here’s what our house elf, Artie (not Archie), says about this round: The boys dive deep into Marvel Cinematic Universe Phase One, ranking the original six films and arguing about everything from Iron Man’s swagger to Thor’s unexpected charm. Shayne confesses he didn’t see half the movies until way too late, Jay defends Captain America like it’s his patriotic duty, and both agree that Mark Ruffalo is the Hulk we deserve. They also reveal the sacred art of the “preemptive strike” — the bathroom run before trailers — proving once again that Beer Thursday is where cinematic wisdom meets questionable life choices. ~~~~~~~ Chapters 00:00 – Whiskey Voice Begins 01:30 - Shayne's issue with the movie order 02:40 – Iron Man Awakens05:23 – Hulk Actor Swap06:15 – Don Cheadle Upgrade10:28 – Thor Surprises: Thor, Natalie, and Kat13:00 – Cap Takes the Lead14:55 – Avengers Assemble17:43 – Spider‑Man?

    You ever look at your neighbor’s house and think, “Yep… something weird is happening over there”? Well, grab a lawn chair and a Solo Stove, because today we’re talking about the strange, suspicious, and occasionally flute‑powered mysteries of the folks next door. I’m Jay, and I promise I didn’t kill any of my neighbors — but I am keeping an eye on that shed.

The crew shares stories about strange noises, hermit habits, childhood neighbor adventures, and the slow death of old‑school neighborliness. It’s funny, chaotic, and everyone can relate!

    Bands Who Replaced Their Lead Singer (And Nobody Noticed!) Except Us. We Noticed

    Who's your favorite band that replaced their lead singer? Were they still your favorite with the new singer? Me neither! Today, Shayne, Jay, and Tim discuss every band change we can think of. And a few we didn't think of! Round 310! ~~~~~~~ If you love Beer Thursday and want to support the show, join us on Patreon!

And if you leave us a 5‑star review, we’ll replace absolutely no one. ~~~~~~~ Here's what our house elf, Artie (not Archie), says about this round: This round rocks harder than AC/DC after a singer swap. The guys debate Van Halen’s two eras, AC/DC’s seamless transition, Judas Priest’s Ripper moment, and whether Journey is still Journey if only one dude from Journey is in Journey. They also wander into Genesis, Tears for Fears, Alice in Chains, Foreigner, Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden, and even the Temptations, proving no genre is safe from a good Beer Thursday tangent. If you love band drama, vocal‑cord longevity contests, or hearing grown men argue about who can still hit the high notes, this round is your backstage pass. ~~~~~~~ Disclosure: I don't really have a house elf. Aritie is AI. Get it? Aritie-ficial Intelligence!

Spoiler: It’s absolutely bonkers. In this round, Jay and Shayne embark on a journey of discovery into the mysterious mechanics of consciousness. They explore how Orchestrated Objective Reduction Theory might connect our brains to the universe's most enigmatic secrets.

As they crack jokes and fumble through quantum concepts, you'll laugh, ponder, and get lost in the mystery and wonder of this fascinating conversation. Is consciousness tied to a soul? Can microtubules really think? And could the universe itself be alive? Tune in, because we certainly don't have all the answers, but it’s a fun ride trying to figure it out. And we want you to be part of this journey, sharing your thoughts and questions with us. Cheers to mind-expanding banter and dazzling revelations in today’s round of Beer Thursday!
