“Lights, Camera, Cocktail—Say Hello to Your Hosts with the Most”
Laura Truman
🎞️ Meet Laura Truman – film whisperer, VHS warrior, and the heartbeat of the Adult Beverage Film Podcast.
If you’ve ever wandered the aisles of Blockbuster, Media Play, or the legendary VisArt Video, there’s a good chance Laura was the one steering you toward cinematic greatness—sometimes with a chuckle, always with a killer recommendation. With seven years as assistant manager at VisArt and a personal collection of over 5,000 titles (yes, she owns Beta and LaserDisc), Laura is a walking encyclopedia of movie magic.
But don’t let her film nerd cred fool you—Laura brings the funny. Her laugh is iconic, her takes are razor-sharp, and her deep dives into both cult classics and long-forgotten oddities make her an audience favorite. From Fellini to Freddy vs. Jason, Laura can break it down with wit, heart, and a heavy pour of cinematic insight.
Whether she’s dissecting themes, dropping behind-the-scenes trivia, or just roasting a bad sequel like it stole her popcorn, Laura Truman turns every episode into a film school meets comedy club kind of party.
🎬 Come for the movies. Stay for the Truman Show.
She’s not just a fan favorite—she’s film’s funniest friend.
PATRICK G. KEENAN
🎠Meet Patrick G. Keenan – part comedic genius, part dramatic powerhouse, all-around scene-stealer.
Hailing from New Jersey and now wreaking glorious havoc on the Southeast film scene from his Charlotte home base, Patrick is one of the most talented actors working today. With a BFA in Speech and Theater from Montclair State, he’s rocked the stage, dominated the screen, and stolen just about every scene he’s ever been in—yes, even the one with Sandra Bullock in The Blind Side. (You definitely remember it.)
Whether he’s playing Thomas the butcher in those unforgettable Harris Teeter commercials or delivering voice work that brings animated characters—and lottery dreams—to life, Patrick’s versatility is unmatched. He’s appeared in fan-favorite TV hits like Homeland, Outcast, and Tropical Cop Tales, and racked up awards at festivals for short film performances that bounce between hilarious, heartfelt, and totally unhinged.
But let’s be honest: Patrick brings the laughs. Like big laughs. Like “spit your drink out” kind of funny. His off-the-wall humor, outrageous characters, and razor-sharp wit make him the ultimate wild card at the Adult Beverage Film Podcast roundtable. One minute he’s making you cry with laughter, the next he’s dropping deep insight on an obscure indie gem like he’s been prepping for a TED Talk.
🎬 So buckle up and pour yourself something strong—because when Patrick G. Keenan is in the room, anything can happen, and it’s always a good time.
Kent Smith
🎬 Meet Kent Smith – award-winning filmmaker, screenwriting wizard, and the unofficial (but totally official) ringleader of the Adult Beverage Film Podcast circus.
With a résumé that includes hit TV shows like Homeland, Mr. Mercedes, and Outcast, and feature films like Max, Tusk, and American Animals, Kent knows his way around a set—and a story. His films don’t just win awards; they win hearts, minds, and the occasional drunken applause at 2 a.m. screenings. His indie gem The Last Passport snagged Best Director and Best Actor at the Solstice Film Festival, while his festival-favorite short MIKE has been scooping up trophies like popcorn at a midnight double feature—six wins and six more noms and counting.
But Kent’s talents don’t stop with narrative films—he’s also a go-to commercial director for brands like Shell, Pepsi, Hooters, and Electrolux (which, yes, somehow all make sense if you know Kent). His secret? A filmmaker’s eye, a writer’s soul, and the Southern charm of a guy who could convince a possum to star in a buddy comedy.
On the podcast, Kent is the man behind the curtain—and the mic. Equal parts filmmaker, film nerd, and chaos coordinator, he’s the one wrangling the crew, keeping the whiskey flowing, and making sure every episode goes off the rails just the right amount. When Kent starts talking movies, you listen—unless you’re laughing too hard to hear him.
🎤 So pour yourself a glass, pull up a chair, and let Kent lead you through the wild, weird, and wonderful world of cinema—one behind-the-scenes tale and one belly laugh at a time.
Carlisle “Squeaker” Hamrick
🎙️ Meet Carlisle “Squeaker” Hamrick – audio wizard, voice of reason, and the man with the sexiest vocal cords this side of a vintage bourbon commercial.
He may sound like smooth jazz wrapped in leather, but don’t let that velvet voice fool you—Squeaker’s not here to coddle your favorite movies. He’s the resident contrarian with a razor-sharp tongue and zero fear of dragging an overrated film straight to cinematic hell (and he’ll do it with a smirk and a perfectly timed sigh). If your favorite movie is on the table… you might want to brace yourself.
But beneath the mystery, sarcasm, and delightful grumpiness lies a passionate cinephile with a brain that could power a NASA launch. Squeaker asks the questions no one else dares to, pokes holes in plot armor like it’s bubble wrap, and somehow always ends up being weirdly right. He’s a man of few words—until he isn’t—and when he speaks, the room listens… or blushes.
Despite claiming to “hate everything,” Squeaker is the philosophical core of the Adult Beverage Film Podcast—a cinematic skeptic with a heart of gold (buried somewhere deep, probably behind Criterion discs and vintage concert tees).
🎬 So light a cigar, pour something neat, and listen closely.
Because when Squeaker talks, it’s the kind of truth that rumbles in your chest—and leaves a mark on your movie shelf.
