The long anticipated and long hyped Deadpool 3 is in theaters now and for this month’s edition of A Podcast & A Beer, instead of focusing on an ongoing series or a podcast season, the featured podcast is just that, one podcast.
It is the Ringer-verse and the story of how Deadpool and Wolverine is the summer of 2024 blockbuster. Ringer staff writer Daniel Chin does a deep dive on these two iconic (now fellow MCU) characters.
For an 1 1/2 podcast, the pacing is brisk with, thankfully, minimal commercial breaks for Mint Mobile. The timeline is laid out well so that even a non comics fan can follow from point D to point W. And there is also a good though discussion of why Marvel is at a low point and could really use that Deadpool mystique.
For beer, well you could skip beer and find bottles of red or yellow branded Aviation Gin but I would suggest looking to the year 2009 when X-Men Origins: Wolverine arrived and brought them together for the first time. It might take a little sleuthing where you live and it might bring back memories of long lost breweries but the easy thing to look for is a brewery that just turned 15.
For Los Angeles that would have been Eagle Rock Brewery and Ladyface Brewing. The former just called it quits but you might find some last remainig cans around. So instead head to Agoura Hills and Ladyface to have a draft and a 4-pack.
