Acting Out
HumorTrevor Lawless, Dave Harris, and Shea Norman are three wanna-be actors taking some time each week to share the highs and lows of starting out in the entertainment industry. They discuss their lives, loves, and the never-ending pursuit of happiness, which almost always includes a beer or two. The conversations range from informative to insulting, but all are (hopefully) amusing. And if anything they say offends you, don't take it too seriously - they're just acting out.

- Summer Blockbuster Recap (01:06:03)
Ten movies. One summer. Endless opinions. From Until Dawn and Mission Impossible: Final Reckoning to 28 Years Later and The Naked Gun, we break down the best, worst, and weirdest films of the summer, with plenty of laughs (and a few rants) along the way. Check out the video version on our Beer Me Guys YouTube channel!
- Superman (00:40:43)
The boys are back and this time we’re tackling James Gunn’s brand-new Superman. From Snyder’s moody Man of Steel days, to The Rock’s failed Black Adam takeover, to Cavill’s exit and Cornswet’s debut — we break down the chaos of DC’s past and where it’s headed now. Expect drunken tangents, Smallville sex-quakes, bamboo penis bottle openers, and the occasional legitimate film insight. It’s chaotic, it’s raunchy, and it’s very much Acting Out. Video version available on our Beer Me Guys YouTube Channel!
- Sinners (00:38:42)
Trev, Dave, and Shea go deep on Sinners, the new genre-defying cult hit from Ryan Coogler. Part vampire flick, part character drama, part horned-up barn rave — this thing slaps. We get into the performances, the cinematography, the ending, and why more movies need to stop spoon-feeding us exposition. And of course, it wouldn’t be an episode without some detours: pirated porn on LimeWire, VHS nostalgia, and whether Face Off deserves a Criterion release. Check out the video on our YouTube channel here!
- Accountant 2 (00:28:06)
This week on the Acting Out Podcast, the gang dives into The Accountant 2 — a sequel that somehow works by going full odd-couple buddy movie. We talk Jon Bernthal’s scene-stealing energy, whether Ben Affleck’s character growth makes sense, and how the emotional arc between two lonely brothers hits harder than expected. Plus: rants about Amazon Prime, the death of DVDs, movie villain letdowns, and yes… a bathtub electrocution tangent. Standard stuff. Check out the video on our YouTube Channel here!
- The Amateur (00:37:39)
In this episode, we crack a cold one and talk all things The Amateur — from Rami Malek’s quietly brilliant casting to Jon Bernthal’s scene-stealing moments. We also question the movie’s pacing, the logic of the central romance, and celebrate a good old-fashioned spy thriller actually making it to theaters. As usual, the conversation flies off the rails with some hilarious high school party stories, kleptomaniac phases, and an in-depth (possibly too in-depth) discussion about male full-frontal scenes in movies. You’ve been warned. Check out the video on Youtube!
- A Working Man (00:39:51)
Trev, Dave, and Shea dive into The Working Man, a baffling new Jason Statham action film that blends human trafficking, drug rings, Bluetooth-enabled murder, and trench coat-wearing Russian mobsters — all with zero logic and questionable dialogue. They discuss whether Sylvester Stallone wrote it as a prank, what went wrong with the direction, and why some moments felt like AI-generated filler. Bonus tangents include White Lotus, Girl Meets World, Sabrina Carpenter, and Dave’s mic technique. An honest, hilariously frustrated breakdown of a movie that truly broke them. Video of this episode is also up on YouTube!
