Flix and a Six

Flix and a Six is a long-running film discussion show with beer at the table and pop-culture detours in every direction. The basic rhythm is dependable. Anthony Costanzo and Alessandro Biolsi open with drinks, news, trailers, and recent viewing before turning toward the featured movie. The path is rarely straight. An Oscars episode can become a debate about Tarantino pacing, awards momentum, and whether the ceremony itself still matters. A Mountainhead discussion can drift through The Expanse games, sports playoffs, Mel Brooks, Wonder Woman, and Succession-style tech-world absurdity. That looseness is central to the show. It feels less like a polished review desk than two movie people comparing notes after watching, reading, and saving up stray thoughts. The beer angle gives each episode a small ritual. Sometimes it is a tasting note, sometimes a spill, sometimes a name that turns into a joke before the movie talk even begins. The criticism is casual but engaged. They talk about performances, adaptations, sequels, franchise choices, pacing problems, time jumps, and the difference between an episode that is weak and an episode that is setting up something stronger. The show also has a strong genre appetite. Star Wars animation, comic-book movies, Jurassic Park, Tom Clancy material, The Banshees of Inisherin, Mountainhead, and Oscar contenders can all sit in the same conversational space. It is funny without trying to sound neat. It is informed without getting academic. The best moments come when a tangent sharpens the review rather than distracting from it. Flix and a Six works for listeners who want film criticism with familiarity, running bits, and room for the conversation to wander before it lands.
