It's time to cross off a spooky movie that has long been on the list of potential episodes as Good Brews Bad Views and special guest Bhavna Sharma from The Bloody Broads Podcast tackle Halloween III: Season of the Witch.

Jump to 1:42:56 for our final thoughts on Halloween III: Season of the Witch, beer trebuchets, the varying quality of the Halloween sequels (including Halloween Kills), and The Bloody Broads Podcast.

With the release of the Denis Villeneuve helmed Dune on the horizon Good Brews Bad Views and special guest Birk settle in to watch the David Lynch 1984 adaptation of the monumental Sci-Fi novel with the aid of some suitably spiced seasonal beers alongside of it.

Fold space to 2:23:36 for the gang's final thoughts on the movie the beers, how some of the message in Dune is lost when translated to the big screen, and how Lynch's adaptation ultimately paved the way for some of his most well known works despite it's poor reception.

Check out Birk on his haunted music podcast, Night Clerk Radio, and on Twitter

For the aptly named Seusstember, Good Brews Bad Views thought to check out the movies of adaptations of Dr. Seuss, but ultimately left the final decision of what movie the podcast would feature to the GBBV Patreon Patrons:

They chose the 2003 live action adaptation of The Cat in the Hat starring Mike Myers.

The GBBV Patrons have sent the podcast deep into the swamps for the Wes Craven directed adaptation of Swamp Thing. Shot in an actual swap movie has everything you would expect from a creature feature: glowing green fluid, guys in horrible rubber suits, distinct looking goons, and air boats.

James, Ryan, and Max try to pair beers along side the movies they watch (as who doesn't love a good/bad pun) in what is known as the Brew Bonus. Sometimes it doesn't really work and sometimes it works perfectly, like in the 2009 remake of the classic Canadian slasher film, My Bloody Valentine.

When a GBBV Guest wants to watch a Nicolas Cage movie, watching a Nicolas Cage movie is what happens. Kristi joins in with some patriotic themed beer to watch National Treasure: Book of Secrets where Benjamin Franklin Gates must prove that his Great Great Grandfather wasn't a treasonous Confederate that helped assassinate Abraham Lincoln. By finding a city made of gold? Yeah the plot doesn't make much sense. Also James officially breaks after 91 episodes.

Jump to 2:04:15 for our after move wrap up in which we establish how nothing in this movie really matters, there are no stakes in this movie, what we would want from a sequel, what might be on Page 47 of The President's Secret Book, and the hideous proportions of Nick Cage on the movie poster.

Every now and then Good Brews Bad Views foregoes the usual vetting process of movies for a Blind View, where Max, James, and Ryan watch and react to the movie in real time. This process has led to some episodes that are absolute gems (Santa's Slay, Guardians) but Doom: Annihilation... is at the complete opposite end of that spectrum.

The GBBV Patrons have sentenced Max, James, and Ryan to watch Judge Dredd as the second movie of Slytember, and so they must comply.

Good Brews Bad Views seems to be all about the monthly theme as of late, and for his birthday James requested the 1993 Stallone-'Em-Up Demolition Man. So September 2019 is now Slytember 2019.

In Howling II: Your Sister is a Werewolf, take everything you know about werewolves and chuck it out the window, replace it with New Wave eroticism and a plot that would expect from a vampire movie. Maybe that's why Christopher Lee is in it. In short this movie is beyond ridiculous and some of the GBBV Crew think this movie is fairly awesome.

Jump to 1:33:00 for our final thoughts on what is our most risque episode so far as Max, James, and Ryan try to figure out what the werewolves are up to besides having orgies in this 1980s campy horror flick.

Given how most of the Netflix Marvel shows have already been cancelled, with the remaining ones slowly approaching the chopping block as the tricoteuse toil on, and how Ben Affleck is out of the superhero game (again), we figured this was a perfect time to revisit 2003's Daredevil, a movie that feels like a Batman film and looks like an Evanescence music video.

We have a treat for you in the post movie discussion (1:40:50) with nearly an hour of Max, James, and Ryan digging deep on yearly beer releases, beer consistency, what they want from superhero movies moving forward, the lack of interesting villains, movies they made in high school, and the importance of Evanescence's "Bring Me to Life" beyond memes.

Racing enthusiast Dave Mariow drops by to watch Driven, a Stallone written, produced, and starred movie about Champ Racing that Stallone is on the record for regretting making. Buckle in, not only because racing at 200 mph is dangerous, but because somehow this movie manages to make it seem boring, but that's what the beer is for.

goodbrewsbadviews@gmail.com (Good Brews Bad Views) — Thu, 15 Nov 2018 16:00:00 +0000

The GBBV Crew moseys on over to the their trusty couch to watch Gallowwalkers, a Wesley Snipes led Weird West film that has some great shots, cool costumes, and interesting concepts but ultimately never informs the audience too much about what is really going on. This leaves our hosts armed with a much too good of a beer for the podcast to try and figure that out for themselves.

Just here for the after-movie discussion? Jump to 1:29:39 to here discussion about the time investment of Westerns, the current drought of Cowboy movies, and our final thoughts on Gallowwalkers and the beers.

Episode 61: Street Fighter

goodbrewsbadviews@gmail.com (Good Brews Bad Views) — Tue, 30 Oct 2018 16:00:00 +0000

Max, James, Ryan, and Stephanie settle in with some saison to watch Street Fighter, a movie that features surprisingly little fighting in the streets. While Jean Claude Van Damme finds himself on the podcast yet again as the patriotic flexing Colonel Guile, the real star is Raúl Juliá as the power mad dictator M. Bison in what would be his final role.

Episode 60: Constantine

goodbrewsbadviews@gmail.com (Good Brews Bad Views) — Mon, 15 Oct 2018 16:00:00 +0000

John Constantine: Dabbler of the occult, chain smoker extraordinaire, blond, British... wait that's Keanu Reeves, who is only half of those things in this movie! What's going on here? The GBBV crew try to get to the bottom of this while maintaining ownership of their souls and fending off the forces of Heaven and Hell in the 2005 adaptation of the Hellblazer comic series in the aptly named Constantine.

Episode 59: Silent Hill

goodbrewsbadviews@gmail.com (Good Brews Bad Views) — Sun, 30 Sep 2018 16:00:00 +0000

While drinking several ciders and meads from Cellarmen's the GBBV Crew takes a look at the 2006 adaptation of Silent Hill. Is the survival horror series put to film as bad as it's reputation would have you believe or is it just a bunch of pedantic purists? By setting aside any reservations or attachements they may have to the video game series Ryan, James, and Max will try to find out.

Don't have time to watch the movie but want know about our final thoughts? Jump to the 2 hour mark for cider/mead reviews and extensive horror movie discussion.

Episode 58: The Core

goodbrewsbadviews@gmail.com (Good Brews Bad Views) — Sat, 15 Sep 2018 15:00:00 +0000

Fabled member of the Tucci Gang Claire returns to Good Brews Bad Views to discover just how many scientists have to be sacrificed to save the world when the magnetic core stops spinning in 2003's aptly named The Core. You can tell from their perpetual chain smoking, short sensible haircuts, pictures of their family, and flaming peach diorama (that is actually an apple), that these scientists mean business and that a whole bunch of them are going to die on their mission. But 4 people willingly watched this movie twice in a few days, so really, who suffered more?

Episode 57: RoboCop 3

goodbrewsbadviews@gmail.com (Good Brews Bad Views) — Thu, 30 Aug 2018 15:00:00 +0000

Calling in from far-off Philadelphia, Russ Johnson guest stars for RoboCop 3. GBBV's Terrible Trilogy series continues with RoboCop's theme of the man/machine dichotomy but with a decidedly lighter tone. In this movie we find the answers to questions such as "What if RoboCop fought RoboNinjas, had a gun-hand, a jetpack, and drove a pimp-mobile?" while also cramming in every character actor the movie could get a hold of.

Episode 56: Arachnophobia

goodbrewsbadviews@gmail.com (Good Brews Bad Views) — Wed, 15 Aug 2018 15:00:00 +0000

If you ask people what freaks them out more than a few will probably say spiders, and returning guest of the show Jordan is one of those people. Putting his fear to the test Jordan has graciously agreed to come back to Good Brews Bad Views to watch Arachnophobia for his own personal Good Brews Blind Views as we record this episode to entertain you the listener (and us the podcast hosts) with pure unfiltered reactions to this campy early 90s creature feature.

Gen Con 2018 Recap

goodbrewsbadviews@gmail.com (Good Brews Bad Views) — Mon, 6 Aug 2018 17:59:12 +0000

Leaving Indianapolis with substantially lighter wallets, Max, James, and Randy recount their favorite moments from Gen Con 2018.

Episode 55: The Master of Disguise

goodbrewsbadviews@gmail.com (Good Brews Bad Views) — Mon, 30 Jul 2018 16:00:00 +0000

Frankly, it was only a matter of time before the Dana Carvey helmed The Master of Disguise made it's way on to Good Brews Bad Views. Even so, we are blaming this episode entirely on James' sister Summer who joins in on this episode as the GBBV Crew is assaulted by numerous Dana Carvey impersonations and disguises, leaving them to try and focus on the tasty cider they are drinking instead.

Episode 54: Speed Racer

goodbrewsbadviews@gmail.com (Good Brews Bad Views) — Sun, 15 Jul 2018 16:00:00 +0000

While it is well known that marketing can make or break a movie, the release date proves to be just as important. 2018 marks the 10th anniversary of The Wachowski Sister's Speed Racer adaptation, a film that flopped both commercially and critically upon it's release but has since become something of a cult film. Max, James, and Ryan sit down to see if this movie is well deserved of it's recent praise and it was just the wrong movie at the wrong time or if the movie is just another one left in the dust.

Episode 53: Deep Blue Sea

goodbrewsbadviews@gmail.com (Good Brews Bad Views) — Sat, 30 Jun 2018 16:00:00 +0000

You would think that after the roaring success of Jaws that there would be loads of derivative shark films as well as loads of derivative Jaws sequels. Oddly this wouldn't be the case until sharks got caught up in a tornado a few decades later, so the 1990s had to settle with gene tampered sharks in Deep Blue Sea. Friend of the show Dujuan joins to find out why you should never stand next to an open pool of water while giving a moralizing speech while your underwater base is sinking all around you.

Episode 52: Little Nicky

goodbrewsbadviews@gmail.com (Good Brews Bad Views) — Fri, 15 Jun 2018 16:09:53 +0000

Whether you like him or not you can't deny that Adam Sandler made a handful of succeful comedies in the second half of the 1990s. This streak couldn't last forever and would eventually lead to such quality films as Don't Mess With the Zohan, Pixels, and The Ridiculous 6. For this episode we look at the first critical and financial Adam Sandler flop that would have made The Satanic Panic advocates clutch for their rosaries: Little Nicky.

Episode 51: Terminator Genysis

goodbrewsbadviews@gmail.com (Good Brews Bad Views) — Wed, 30 May 2018 16:00:00 +0000

As much as the title would have you believe, Terminator Genysis is not about how Skynet takes over the world with a 1990s Sega video game system. The latest in the Terminator series is part sequel, part reboot, part movie that didn't make enough to have the sequel immediately green-lit. Keeping with the serial number theme of the movie, the GBBV Crew sip on some Short's Batch 8000 while they discuss things such as time travel, robo-arthritis, and whether they would rather see their favorite series have endless sequels or an eventual reboot.

Episode 50: Cleaning Out the Fridge II

goodbrewsbadviews@gmail.com (Good Brews Bad Views) — Tue, 15 May 2018 15:59:15 +0000

To celebrate the momentous occasion of reaching 50 episodes, Max, James, and Ryan look back to discuss their favorite and least favorite movies and beers of the podcast while reflecting on the ever evolving craft beer industry and what the future holds in what turns out to be the longest episode of Good Brews Bad Views yet.

Episode 49: 1990: The Bronx Warriors

goodbrewsbadviews@gmail.com (Good Brews Bad Views) — Mon, 30 Apr 2018 17:00:00 +0000

Imagine if you will a movie that throws The Warriors, Escape from New York, and Road Warrior into a cheap Italian-made blender, 1990: The Bronx Warriors is basically what you would get from such a concoction. Friend of the show Randy returns to Good Brews Bad Views as we try to figure out how exactly lead actor Mark Gregory, the apply named Trash, manages to walk in pants that seem to be one with his body as we drink the fittingly named hefeweizen Homage from Watermark Brewing, a beer style we somehow avoided over nearly 50 episodes.

Episode 48: Lost in Space

goodbrewsbadviews@gmail.com (Good Brews Bad Views) — Sun, 15 Apr 2018 16:00:00 +0000

Lost in Space was a movie that the GBBV Crew put on the list of potential episodes early on in the life of the podcast and with the release of the Netflix series Max, James, and Ryan figured what better time than now to actually record it? This painfully 1990s designed sci-fi film based off a campy 1960s TV series that everyone has heard of (but few have ever seen) features the great Gary Oldman who promptly out-acts every other character in every scene much to the podcast hosts delight as they begroan the otherwise wooden acting and the retractable technology that this movie has a fetish for.

Episode 47: Assassin's Creed

goodbrewsbadviews@gmail.com (Good Brews Bad Views) — Fri, 30 Mar 2018 13:31:34 +0000

Up next James, Max, and Ryan dig into the Michael Fassbender helmed Assassin's Creed, the "best video game movie ever made," which when you think about it is a rather low bar to surpass. Filled with overly long exchanges of people staring seriously at each other the movie is also overly repetative in it's action scenes and despite the good selection of talent the movie features is filled with characters we only have a semblance to care about. This mediocrity ultimately leads to a lengthy heated discussion about story adaptation across various forms of media, hold on to your butts.

Episode 46: The Cell

goodbrewsbadviews@gmail.com (Good Brews Bad Views) — Thu, 15 Mar 2018 15:39:11 +0000

Practical or CGI, well aged or spoiled like rotten fruit, special effects in movies are an accomplishment of their own in some form or fashion (usually) and one of our favorite reasons to watch a movie and something everyone remembers about a movie for good or bad. Friend of the show Claire returns to Good Brews Bad Views to discuss The Cell while we try to figure out when exaclty does a movie rely too much on the visuals, being weird and transgressive for it's own sake, which results in ultimatelly leaving the narrative a little lacking. But don't worry we also crack wise at Jenny from the Block and Vince Vaughn as we enjoy some tasty Gose as well.

Episode 45: Evolution

goodbrewsbadviews@gmail.com (Good Brews Bad Views) — Wed, 28 Feb 2018 17:16:06 +0000

From Ivan Reitman, director of such comedy classics as Ghostbusters and Stripes, comes a movie with such glaring product placement you'd think you were watching a James Bond film: Evolution. Witness David Duchovny at his most wooden, Julianne Moore's perpetual lack of balance, Sean William Scott at his Sean William Scott-est, all while Orlando Jones captures the hearts of the GBBV Crew while they drink a brown ale that tastes like coffee and donuts and laud over the practical effects.

Episode 44: Bright

goodbrewsbadviews@gmail.com (Good Brews Bad Views) — Wed, 14 Feb 2018 18:00:00 +0000

"What you're telling me we're some kind of movie where this orc is a fantasy standin for instituionalized racism?" - Cut Lines from Will Smith's Dialog.

For this episode Good Brews Bad Views dig's into Netflix's first big budget sci-fi movie Bright, as we like to suffer for your enjoyment. Ryan, James, and Max dig into everything from the worldbuilding, vernacular, and seriosuly bipolar policemen showing this movie does not lack in topics for discussion. Luckily we brought a few stupidly awesome beers with us to aid us through another David Ayer mess.

Episode 43: Get Even

goodbrewsbadviews@gmail.com (Good Brews Bad Views) — Tue, 30 Jan 2018 17:00:00 +0000

Usually here at Good Brews Bad Views we dig into movies that are somewhat known to allow you the listener to watch along with us if you so choose, and while they are often bad they are somewhat enjoyable. This episode we change that by going to the bottom of the barrel with a gem of a bad movie that can only be described by the phrase "fantastically terrible"

Get Even aka Road to Revenge aka Champagne & Bullets
Written, Starred, Produced, Edited, and Composed by the one and only John de Heart

Friend of the show Steve Cuff returns to take Good Brews Bad Views on a tour de force of a movie that resulted in us drinking more beer than any other episode, all while dropping tidbits that you can only get by having a 2 hr conversation with the director.

Episode 42: GoldenEye

goodbrewsbadviews@gmail.com (Good Brews Bad Views) — Mon, 15 Jan 2018 17:00:00 +0000

If you're listening to this podcast/reading this blurb chances are that 1995's GoldenEye was the first James Bond movie that you can remember being released in your lifetime. Some would say it's actually a pretty decent movie. To find out Ryan, James, and Max revisit the 1st Pierce Brosnan helmed movie to see if this is true and to check up on how the movie has aged over 20+ years. Surely all the references that Russia is no longer the USSR won't be glaring obvious right?

Episode 41: Jingle All the Way

goodbrewsbadviews@gmail.com (Good Brews Bad Views) — Mon, 25 Dec 2017 19:22:55 +0000

Merry Christmas/Hannukah/Kwanzaa/Fesitvus/Whatever from all of us at Good Brews Bad Views! For our second Christmas episode this year we witness a Pre-Mr. Freeze Arnold Schwarzenegger try to buy his son's love, a Pre-Anakin Skywalker Jake Lloyd, in 1996's Jingle All the Way. Alongside the rampant commercialism and insanity displayed in this movie James, Ryan, and Max discuss their cherished Christmas presents from years past while Sinbad makes a bunch of jokes that would no longer fly in 2017.

Episode XL: The Star Wars Holiday Special

goodbrewsbadviews@gmail.com (Good Brews Bad Views) — Fri, 15 Dec 2017 17:00:00 +0000

Appropriately timed for both the release of The Last Jedi and the Holidays, GBBV starts off the season with the often mentioned and utterly horrible Star Wars Holiday Special. Joined once again by friend of the show Jordan (Spider-Man 3, Batman and Robin) and foregoing the usual beer for whiskey (something stronger was required) the guys dig in deep with conversations about fandom, representation, gatekeeping, and expanded universes as they suffer through the special with the occasional screams of "why?!?!" and "Who is this for!?!" as the podcast slowly descends into madness.

Episode 39: Alien Vs. Predator

goodbrewsbadviews@gmail.com (Good Brews Bad Views) — Thu, 30 Nov 2017 17:00:00 +0000

It seems like after the success of 2003's Freddy Vs. Jason, Hollywood decided it was time to have all the 80s franchises meet up in one way or another. While the two alien races had clashed in comics and video games it wasn't until 2004 that two of the 1980's most iconic sci-fi series meet up in a frozen free-for-all in Alien Vs. Predator. Of course hapless humans that we don't really care too much about are also in tow for the ride. On the beer side, Max, Ryan, and James enjoy a seasonably appropriate Barleywine that they absolutely could not get enough of: Batch Brewing Company's All the Fixin's.

Episode 38: Sudden Death

goodbrewsbadviews@gmail.com (Good Brews Bad Views) — Wed, 15 Nov 2017 16:00:00 +0000

Jean Claude Van Damme is known for many things, however being a French-Canadian former firefighter/hockey player and now fire inspector for the Pittsburgh Penguins in 1995's Sudden Death is not one of them. Hockey and hop head Stephanie joins us this episode as we cheer on the Chicago Blackhawks (as we are not cheering on Pittsburgh) as we enjoy some of her very appropriately named homebrew: Jean Quad Van Damme

Episode 37: Freddy vs Jason

goodbrewsbadviews@gmail.com (Good Brews Bad Views) — Mon, 30 Oct 2017 16:00:00 +0000

Friend of the show Claire joins us for our second Halloween episode as we cheer on Youths making poor decisions in Freddy Vs. Jason.
The horror icon matchup that slasher fans have been longing to see since the stinger of Jason Goes to Hell that took countles rewrites to "work," the end result... well at least it isn't Batman V Superman

Happy Halloween!

Episode 36: Killer Klowns from Outer Space

goodbrewsbadviews@gmail.com (Good Brews Bad Views) — Sun, 15 Oct 2017 20:00:00 +0000

With the rampant success of the new It movie, GBBV decided to start the Halloween season on a similar note with Killer Klowns from Outer Space. While enjoying the antics of space alien clowns Ryan argues that the only thing creepier than a clown is a moist one while Max and James have a discussion on small town-college relations of years past all while enjoying a tasty blackcurrant saison from Clown Shoes.

Episode 35: Starship Troopers

goodbrewsbadviews@gmail.com (Good Brews Bad Views) — Sat, 30 Sep 2017 16:00:00 +0000

If you're going to have a movie that satirizes fascism and tries to convince people that Denise Richards is an actual human being with a non-wooden face, i.e. Starship Troopers, then maybe you should actually satirize fascism and try to have Denise Richards act like she doesn't have a wooden face. Other such topics of discussion in this episode include cellaring Belgian Quads, the Micro-Machines of childhoods past, Space-Nazis and their trenchcoats, the majesty that is Clancy Brown and Space Bug Design: Good and Bad.

Episode 34: Spawn

goodbrewsbadviews@gmail.com (Good Brews Bad Views) — Fri, 15 Sep 2017 20:00:00 +0000

Long ago when Image Comics were the fresh new kids on the block and people weren’t looking back on 1990s comics and cringing there was Spawn, Todd McFarlane’s crispy hell-powered hero that somehow managed to get a movie 5 years after his creation. While we complement the makeup that’s aged like a nice high gravity stout and suffer through CGI that’s aged like milk, we enjoy some fresh beer from Short’s Brewing Co that we absolutely adore.

Episode 33: King Arthur

goodbrewsbadviews@gmail.com (Good Brews Bad Views) — Wed, 30 Aug 2017 20:00:00 +0000

The name King Arthur evokes a lot of different mental images: fair Camelot, swords in stones, gallant knights, magic, and a British comedy troupe that had a penchant for wearing dresses. 2004’s King Arthur has absolutely none of those, instead trying to cast Arthur as an actual historical figure who was a Roman knight who is on the Historical Fantasy version of “One Last Job”. But for trying to be a historical film James and Max take much joy pointing out the blatant historical inaccuracies on numerous fronts, while Ryan lauds over “one of the best things I’ve drank on this podcast.”

GBBV Post-Gen Con Special Report

goodbrewsbadviews@gmail.com (Good Brews Bad Views) — Mon, 21 Aug 2017 19:01:00 +0000

Coming to you live from James’ car as they leave Indianapolis, the GBBV Crew reflect on Gen Con 50: The Best Four Days in Gaming with each member recalling the best food, beer, and games they played while the weekend is still fresh in their minds.

Episode 32: Batman and Robin

goodbrewsbadviews@gmail.com (Good Brews Bad Views) — Tue, 15 Aug 2017 16:00:00 +0000

Way back on our episode for Spider-Man 3, Jordan Ferraro made the unfortunate statement of claiming he had never seen Batman and Robin, so naturally we forced him to watch it (twice) when he wanted to come back on the podcast. As 2017 is the 20th anniversary of the movie that “killed” super hero films for a while (even though they never actually went away) we felt a certain obligation to do this movie aside from torturing poor Jordan. Meanwhile friend of the show Steve Cuff provides the GBBV Crew with tasty a beer from Wisconsin that is in such high demand within America’s Dairyland that they can’t sell it anywhere else.

Episode 31: Small Soldiers

goodbrewsbadviews@gmail.com (Good Brews Bad Views) — Sun, 30 Jul 2017 20:00:00 +0000

Friend of the show Jess Sebring returns to Good Brews Bad Views to talk about 90’s hair, Encarta, war movies, kittens, Animorphs, furries, and this episode’s movie: Small Soldiers. It’s hard to tell if the movie spent more on the CGI and animatronics or it’s soundtrack as it features bands way too good for a movie that can’t decide if it’s for kids or teens. Meanwhile our beer choice for this episode is quite possibly the best we’ve drank on the podcast so far…

Episode 30: The Running Man

goodbrewsbadviews@gmail.com (Good Brews Bad Views) — Sat, 15 Jul 2017 20:00:00 +0000

In the far off grim future of 2017 there is only Arnold Schwarzenegger imitating his roles from his previous movies in: The Running Man. Friend of the show Randy joins the GBBV Crew as they ponder why Arnold looks like a lame Aquaman, why this movie doesn’t feature more Captain Freedom, and wonder how long it will be before this movie gets remade.

Episode 29: Dragon Ball Evolution

goodbrewsbadviews@gmail.com (Good Brews Bad Views) — Fri, 30 Jun 2017 20:00:00 +0000

We here at Good Brews Bad Views are in a constant game of one-upmanship with ourselves to find the worst movie we can stand and still have meaningful discussion about. It’s a thankless task but someone has to do it, for reasons we choose not to divulge….
Bearing only a slight resemblance to the beloved anime it is based on Dragonball Evolution may take the cake as the new ceiling of what we can endure (with beer).

Episode 28: Cyborg

goodbrewsbadviews@gmail.com (Good Brews Bad Views) — Thu, 15 Jun 2017 21:05:00 +0000

When you’re in a grim post-apocalyptic world and you need a bodyguard who can do the splits, look no further than Jean-Claude Van Damme in 1989’s Cyborg. As JCVD treks across the outskirts of what we assume is Pittsburgh we drink Bell’s Expedition Stout before the weather gets too warm for dark heavy beer.

Episode 27: Pixels

goodbrewsbadviews@gmail.com (Good Brews Bad Views) — Tue, 30 May 2017 20:00:00 +0000

We’ve actively been avoiding Adam Sandler movies as even we have our limits, but 2015’s Pixels was too enticing not watch for the podcast. Only once though, which means the return of Good Brews Blind Views where Max, James, and Ryan are going in without knowing what lies in store for this movie.

Episode 26: Valentine's Day

goodbrewsbadviews@gmail.com (Good Brews Bad Views) — Sat, 20 May 2017 16:00:00 +0000

In this episode we take a step out of our 1990s adaptation comfort zone and into the dreaded genre known as Romantic Comedies. At the suggestion of our guest for this episode Katy, we delve into a movie about one of the worst holidays: Valentine’s Day. Tremble at the ensemble of noteworthy actors who star in this obvious date-night movie! Ponder at whether or not George Lopez’s character actually exists or is a figment of Ashton Kutcher’s imagination! And maybe give a few honest chuckles whenever Queen Latifah is on screen.

Episode 25: Cleaning Out the Fridge

goodbrewsbadviews@gmail.com (Good Brews Bad Views) — Wed, 10 May 2017 16:00:00 +0000

No one really expected Good Brews Bad Views to make it to 25 episodes, so for the monumental episode Max, James, and Ryan sit down and talk about how this boozy bad movie podcast has gone so far and what the future holds for GBBV.

This episode’s beer is from our friends at Bell’s Brewery. Thanks Bell’s!

Episode 24: Sleepy Hollow

goodbrewsbadviews@gmail.com (Good Brews Bad Views) — Sun, 30 Apr 2017 16:00:00 +0000

Tim Burton movies have one of the most immediately recognizable visual styles in film that often create a memorable world where his weird quirky stories can be told. However sometimes his movies focus a little bit too much on the vibrant flashbacks and Ketchup blood which ultimately leaves them lacking in the “plot coherence” department. Depending on which member of GBBV you ask, Sleepy Hollow may be such a film.

Episode 23: Double Dragon

goodbrewsbadviews@gmail.com (Good Brews Bad Views) — Thu, 20 Apr 2017 16:00:00 +0000

We conclude our 3-part series on terrible movies from our childhood with the 1994 live action Double Dragon adaptation. Packed with bad puns, terrible special effects, a culturally appropriating villainous Robert Patrick, and some utterly bizarre cameos, Double Dragon may be the worst movie we’ve done on the podcast so far. We may actually be a little sorry about this one.

Episode 22: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III

goodbrewsbadviews@gmail.com (Good Brews Bad Views) — Mon, 10 Apr 2017 16:00:00 +0000

Continuing the Bad Movies from our Youth and Terrible Third Installments series is Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III. This time featuring time travel to feudal Japan, this movie sadly is nowhere near as cherished as the time traveling video game. What it does feature is a much more interesting sideplote that mostly happens off-screen unfortunately.

Episode 21: Escape from L.A.

goodbrewsbadviews@gmail.com (Good Brews Bad Views) — Thu, 30 Mar 2017 16:00:00 +0000

Episode 21 begins a three part series where we look back on the bad movie of our youths. First up is the painfully 90s movie Escape from L.A. This unnecessary sequel is basically the same movie as its 16 year predecessor Escape from New York, but is much much worse. Luckily the luscious hair of Kurt Russell makes the movie somewhat tolerable, despite the constant presence of Steve Buscemi. But only just.

The Room: Live!

goodbrewsbadviews@gmail.com (Good Brews Bad Views) — Mon, 27 Mar 2017 16:00:00 +0000

This past weekend Max, James, and Ryan fulfilled a lifelong dream of seeing a live showing of The Room and also meeting the enigmatic Tommy Wiseau. It was an experience to say the least.

Episode 20: Super Mario Bros.

goodbrewsbadviews@gmail.com (Good Brews Bad Views) — Mon, 20 Mar 2017 16:00:00 +0000

For our 20th episode we go back to the movie that started it all and the beer that just happened to get caught up in the events leading to this podcast: Super Mario Bros. and Dragon’s Milk. There is a lot of iconic imagery associated with the Super Mario game series, but don’t worry if you haven’t played any of them as you won’t find any of it here. What you will find is a lot of head scratching, Big Sets, and the ever present question: “Why?”

Episode 19: Pride and Prejudice and Zombies

goodbrewsbadviews@gmail.com (Good Brews Bad Views) — Fri, 10 Mar 2017 16:00:00 +0000

Everyone knows B is for “brains” a zombies favorite meal, but B is also for “box office bomb” which is what Pride and Prejudice and Zombies was. A few years too late, the movie suffers from “adapted for the big screen syndrome” wasting much of what an otherwise noteworthy cast had to offer. Friend of the show Kayla joins us as we change things up by switching from beer to an appropriately named cider: Zombie Killer. Sharpen your swords and prepare your dowery.

Episode 18: Death Race 2050

goodbrewsbadviews@gmail.com (Good Brews Bad Views) — Tue, 28 Feb 2017 16:00:00 +0000

A sequel to the original Death Race 2000 that was 40 years in the making that also looks like it was also made for about $40, Death Race 2050 has all of the fun and color that was notably absent from the 2008 Jason Statham starring remake. Join us as we indulge in The Holy Grail of Michigan Beers: Hopslam, and marvel at the on-the-nose 2016 commentary.

Episode 17: The Trust

goodbrewsbadviews@gmail.com (Good Brews Bad Views) — Mon, 20 Feb 2017 16:00:00 +0000

We knew it was only a matter of time before we would tackle a movie starring the one and only Nic Cage, but what to choose from such a wide array of “films?” In the end we decided to go with 2016’s The Trust, a movie that starts off on one foot and quickly jumps to the opposite side of the spectrum with a single bound. Notable costars include Elijah Wood and Nic Cage’s mustache.

Episode 16: Suicide Squad

goodbrewsbadviews@gmail.com (Good Brews Bad Views) — Fri, 10 Feb 2017 16:00:00 +0000

A movie best described as “If 2016 vomited all over a Hot Topic,” Suicide Squad is more of an all out assault on the senses more than an actual functioning film. Long time friend of the show Steve Cuff of Optimism Vaccine joins us in pondering such questions as “Why?” “How?” and “When will this end?” as well as bringing some fine beer from Wisconsin. We apologize for nothing.

Episode 15: Hercules

goodbrewsbadviews@gmail.com (Good Brews Bad Views) — Mon, 30 Jan 2017 16:00:00 +0000

Mythological beasts, feats of inhuman strength, meddling gods. These are the things that come to mind when one thinks of Hercules. However someone in Hollywood had the idea to make a Hercules movie that only vaguely had any of these things. And also have it star Dwayne Johnson aka The Rock aka The People’s Herc, but we don’t fault anyone for that.

Episode 14: Ravenous

goodbrewsbadviews@gmail.com (Good Brews Bad Views) — Fri, 20 Jan 2017 16:00:00 +0000

In this episode we dig in to 1999’s Ravenous. It’s like Oregon Trail The Movie, but with cannibalism and executive meddling. Bon Appétite.

Episode 13: Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome

goodbrewsbadviews@gmail.com (Good Brews Bad Views) — Tue, 10 Jan 2017 16:00:00 +0000

For our first episode of 2017 we continue our series of “Terrible 3rd movie in an otherwise good movie series” with Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome. Out of all the things to add to post-apocalyptic Australia, child actors were what was needed. And Tina Turner.

Episode 12: London Has Fallen

goodbrewsbadviews@gmail.com (Good Brews Bad Views) — Fri, 30 Dec 2016 16:00:00 +0000

The only thing more confusing than the consistency of Gerard Butler’s accent in the 2016 movie London Has Fallen is why this movie was shot on so many sets from The Dark Knight Rises. Featuring a lot of the same actors no less.

Episode 11: Santa's Slay

goodbrewsbadviews@gmail.com (Good Brews Bad Views) — Tue, 20 Dec 2016 16:00:00 +0000

Things are shaken up a little for this episode as Max, Ryan, and James all go into Santa’s Slay completely blind, not having watched the movie beforehand in an experiment we like to call Good Brews Blind Views. Wrestling fans can rejoice on this episode featuring Bill Goldberg, of WCW/WWE fame. Prepare yourself for curling.

Episode 10: Van Helsing

goodbrewsbadviews@gmail.com (Good Brews Bad Views) — Sat, 10 Dec 2016 16:00:00 +0000

Just how do the 19th century Transylvanian peasantry get such luscious looking hair? Why does director Stephen Sommers like head wounds so much? Why is this movie so pink? Enjoyer of mango-habanero cider and friend of the show Jess joins the GBBV Crew to ponder such questions and many more in 2004's Van Helsing.

Episode 09: Jack Frost

goodbrewsbadviews@gmail.com (Good Brews Bad Views) — Wed, 30 Nov 2016 16:00:00 +0000

There are more than a few movies titled Jack Frost. You probably know of the one starring Michael Keaton as a harmonica playing CGI Snowdad. This is not that movie. This is a straight-to-VHS killer snowman movie.

Episode 08: Jeepers Creepers

goodbrewsbadviews@gmail.com (Good Brews Bad Views) — Sun, 20 Nov 2016 16:00:00 +0000

Long before we found him annoying in those Mac vs PC commercials, but before he was subjected to a walrus suit, we had to deal with a very annoying Justin Long in Jeepers Creepers. How annoying you may ask? “You don’t understand!"

Episode 07: Spider-Man 3

goodbrewsbadviews@gmail.com (Good Brews Bad Views) — Thu, 10 Nov 2016 16:00:00 +0000

Tired of listening to Max, James, and Ryan prattle on about beer and movies? Then fear not, as friend of the show Jordan joins in to try and figure just what the hell was going on in Spider-Man 3.

Episode 06: Gamer

goodbrewsbadviews@gmail.com (Good Brews Bad Views) — Sun, 30 Oct 2016 16:00:00 +0000

Imagine a simpler time, 2009, where Hollywood executives decided to base a movie off of First Person Shooter box art and their perception of social media. The result: Gamer.

Episode 05: Batman Forever

goodbrewsbadviews@gmail.com (Good Brews Bad Views) — Thu, 20 Oct 2016 16:00:00 +0000

For this episode Max, Ryan, and James tackle the Batman movie from the 1990s that no one ever talks about: Batman Forever. Scrubbing away nearly all of Tim Burton's influence and giving the Dark Knight a 40 year old sidekick, the only way this movie could have had more neon is if they filmed it in an actual laser tag arena.

Episode 04: Deep Rising

goodbrewsbadviews@gmail.com (Good Brews Bad Views) — Mon, 10 Oct 2016 16:00:00 +0000

Deep Rising: a cheesey B-movie that we had way too much fun watching multiple times and would gladly watch again. Enjoy the gun fondling, skeleton depositories, and high stakes jet skiing action.

Episode 03: "Dude, Where's My Car?"

goodbrewsbadviews@gmail.com (Good Brews Bad Views) — Fri, 30 Sep 2016 16:00:00 +0000

For this episode we endure "Dude Where's My Car?" a movie best described as the Death Throes of the 1990s that really wishes it was American Pie. Hail Zoltan!

Episode 02: Death Race

goodbrewsbadviews@gmail.com (Good Brews Bad Views) — Tue, 20 Sep 2016 16:00:00 +0000

For this episode Max, Ryan, and James endure the lack of color and Jason Statham’s terrible tattoos in Death Race, a movie best described as dystopian Mario Kart where everyone scowls.

Episode 01: The Flintstones

goodbrewsbadviews@gmail.com (Good Brews Bad Views) — Sat, 10 Sep 2016 16:00:00 +0000

For our actual debut episode we take a look at the 1994 live adaptation of everyone's favorite 1960s cartoon influenced by a 1950s live action TV series. Prepare yourself for Rock Jokes, so many Rock Jokes.

Episode 0: Intros and Origin Stories

goodbrewsbadviews@gmail.com (Good Brews Bad Views) — Wed, 7 Sep 2016 16:00:00 +0000

After several months of beating around the bush, yard, park, city, county, etc. Good Brews Bad Views is live! We'll be bringing you somewhat drunken commentary/ramblings two or three times a month that you can watch along with your favorite bad movies. Better yet you can listen to each episode sans movie to hear the lovely voices of Max, James, and Ryan as you commute to your soul crushing job, train for that 5K you'll never do, or clean up after the pets who have destroyed your home.

But wait you say, how did this entire fiasco come about? Well fear not as we've recorded an episode to answer that very question. Perhaps you want to have a beer alongside with us, that would be cool. But please remember to Drink and Watch Responsibly.
