The GBBV Patrons have sentenced James, Ryan, and Max to Gods of Egypt, a CGI laden, white washed, fantasy adventure film about a world where 10 ft gods walk among regular sized humans. It's high on style, and high on run time. Luckily there is beer. Jump to 2:00:40 for our final thoughts on the inconsistent effects of the movie, taking risks with beer, and the importance of Leaning In when telling fantastical stories. Like what we're doing?

Today Good Brews Bad Views watches Tammy and the T-Rex, as when you have a giant T-Rex Statue and a few spare weeks on your hands, of course you make a 90 minute B-Movie starring newcomers Denise Richards and Paul Walker.

With everything that has happened to it over the last few years, one would think that the cruise industry would be as dead as the inhabitants of 2003's Ghost Ship. Unfortunately this is not the case. No one can claim that the GBBV Boys aren't topical in this Patron selected episode. Set course for 1:30:25 for the post movie wrap up where Max, Ryan, and James discuss the highs and lows of what Ghost Ship delivers and postulate on what a sequel could bring to the table.

While rebuilding the backlog, Max, Ryan, and James take some time to reflect on the movie theater industry over the past few months, when they will be comfortable returning to the theater, under what circumstances, the growing Drive-In demand, and weird theater financial stuff.   Regular episodes resume next month!

"I can't look at the cat right now." While Good Brews Bad Views is still on hiatus we've decided to release this Bonus Episode of podcast friends Steve Cuff, Claire Higginbottom, Dave Mariouw, and Max talk about CATS, which they had just all finished seeing at a local theater. Aside from the biggest cinematic blunder of last year other topics of discussion include: Exchanging Wardrobes, Cereal Mascots, Cobra, the irresponsibility of the British, Manic Pixie Dream Dads, Lola Bunny, the state beer of Montana, and why by law Claire and Steve are not allowed to occupy the same state. Please be advised this episode is super explicit, so you better make sure you're muted on that Zoom call.

Using their weather control powers (aka voting) the GBBV Patrons have manipulated the Frasercast to result in Max, James, and Ryan watching George of the Jungle. Rest assured there will be several concussions and many moments of the guys throwing their heads back in laughing. Swing to 1:30:10 for our post movie wrap up on beer, the lasting influence of this movie, whether George of the Jungle is the perfect family movie, and a Flintstones vs. George of the Jungle debate.

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.

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. Jump to 1:36:25 for the GBBV Crew's sincere apologies about this movie, what a Doom needs to succeed, and the final thoughts on thematically appropriate  beer and cider. Like what we're doing?
