Good Brews Bad Views

In an effort to stay Relevant, Good Brews Bad Views starts off the horror movie season with 2007's Dead Silence, to see if there is anything to the recent claims that this Creepy Doll movie is actually good. Jump to 1:29:26 for our final thoughts on this claim, the beers that helped us through the movie, what we think of creepy doll movies in general, the other horror movies of James Wan and Leigh Whannell, and how much time we could cut off this movie and still have one. >>Good Brews Bad Views: Live!

Max sits down with Ryan Balicki, Shaun Koltuniak, and Jeremy Lewis of Copper Hop Brewing Company to talk about their dreams of bringing a brewery to a small downtown area, how the brewing industry is unlike any other, Brewing Destination Cities, what to expect from Copper Hop when it opens later this year, and their ongoing Kickstarter.

The GBBV Patrons have sentenced Max, James, and Ryan to watch Judge Dredd as the second movie of Slytember, and so they must comply. The hosts have a bunch of beer donated by friends of the podcast though, so it's not all bad, but as Rob Schneider is accompanying Stallone once again, it's just mostly bad. Jump to 1:33:24 for final thoughts on beer from the awesome fans, recasting this movie with various Chrises, the versatility and wasted potential of Judge Dredd, and what turns out to be diametrically opposed opinions about this movie.

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. Listen in terror as GBBV witnesses a future where apparently only police officers are allowed to wear pants, toilet paper no longer exists, and everything worth living for (i.e. beer and spicy food) has been outlawed. Jump to 1:54:30 for our final thoughts on the various barrel aged beers, misremembered demolition and carnage, movies not being as ridiculous as we want them to be, and the art of subtle world building.

James is back in Kailua, Hawaii (again) so he dropped by Lanikai Brewing to talk with founder and head brewer Steve Haumschild about the intricacies of using truly wild yeast (like from space), bio-prospecting, and "Hawaiian Solutions to Hawaiian Problems."

Creature Feature Month concludes with Tremors 3: Back to Perfection, voted upon by our Patrons! GBBV brings in Graboid Expert Steph (Spice World, Street Fighter, Sudden Death) to consult on how the series has gone from comedy-horror to Direct to Home Video action-comedy and to join James, Max, and Ryan in an extensive beer blending experiment with beer from Batch Brewing. Jump to 1:44:00 for GBBV for our final thoughts on how our Beer Blending compares against Batch's, our Creature Feature dream movies, how to prepare Beaver Tails (not the carnival food), and The Chris Cross.

Returning from Hawaii with a bunch of beer and liquor in hand, Good Brews Bad Views dives into Creature Feature month, starting off with giant misplaced crocodile movie Lake Placid. Despite that, prepare for GBBV to refer to it as an alligator with increasing frequency as more beer is consumed. Jump to 1:20:25 for our after movie wrap up on how we want more ridiculous crocodile action, an in depth discussion on the Hawaiian beer scene, our recast of this movie in 2019 and the GBBV Crew stumbling into a new post movie segment called "Chris Cross" Like what we're doing?

James, Ryan, and Max recount their yearly pilgrimage to Gen Con and the best things they played, ate, & experienced this year in Indianapolis. And Steph recounts her trip to Madison and the Cross Fit Games and the best cheese available.

James, Ryan, and Max take a break from endlessly wandering the Vendor Hall at Gen Con to sit down with Shane Ivey and Scott Glancy to talk about cinematic acts of terrorism, schlocky movies that made their way into Delta Green, the long process of getting Great Old Ones to punch each other, proletariat adventuring, and designing distinct looking fantasy with artist Kurt Komoda.

We've decided to let our Patrons vote on one episode that we will record each month, and of the 3 possible monkey based movies, Monkeybone was the clear winner. Calling in from the far off land of Canada, International Girl Gang member Erin joins GBBV to discuss this utterly bizarre Brendan Fraser film. Jump to 1:31:40 for our final thoughts on Monkeybone, the unfinished comic series it is based off of, and Max's idea that this movie and the 1989 Batman movie have the same exact plot.

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.

In the far distant past of 1969, a 22 year old Arnold Strong "Mr. Universe" (now commonly known as Arnold Schwarzenegger) made his Hollywood debut in Hercules in New York, wherein the Greek demigod goes to Earth to flex, be confused, and gain a strange obsession with sweaters. While Arnold's physique was never finer, this may not have been the best movie to to cut his acting teeth on.

There's no argument to be made that Dungeons & Dragons is more popular than it ever has been. So Good Brews Bad Views decided that with the Summer Gaming Convention season upon us, what better time than to revisit the live action D&D movie from 2000, and talk about how they all first got into RPGs. Jump to 1:44:27 for our final thoughts on the movie, some beer that was much too good for it, and post movie discussion on how D&D works better as a series, what settings Max and James would like to see on the screen, and Ryan thoroughly beating a dead horse. The horse is super dead. Like what we're doing? Why not check out our Patreon. https://www.patreon.com/goodbrewsbadviews Opening theme: Tha Silent Partner – Prohibition Brew and Pork Chops

Good Brews Bad Views foregoes the usual accompanying movie commentary to instead do a lengthy recap on the latest "season" of the show touching upon all beers, movies, and notable performances in Cleaning Out The Fridge 3. In this extra long anniversary episode Max, Ryan and James also touch upon The GBBV Extended Universe, discuss the latest news in the craft beer industry, and some special guests provide karaoke.

Good Brews Bad Views dips into animation for the first time with Sausage Party, the 2016 anthropomorphic food Disney/Pixar parody. Join Max, Ryan, and James as they find out if there is more to this movie than just low hanging fruit. Jump to 1:24:55 for the final thoughts on beer, culinary comedy, how far is too far, and some behind the scenes stories about Sausage Party's production. 

The GBBV Crew and returning guest Randy decide to Blind View the 2017 Russian superhero movie Guardians, the most recently made movie on Wikipedia's "The Worst Films Ever Made" list. Is it as bad as Russian Critics would have you believe, or is a machine gun bearing Werebear as awesome as it sounds? Jump to 1:26:15 for our final thoughts on some Russian Imperial Stouts, the faults of superhero exposition, a list of movies Amazon recommends because you watched Guardians, and our sequel ideas.

While away from the basement GBBV tries some Icelandic candy from friend of the show Friðrik. The results are... interesting.

Max, Ryan, and James get kicked off their own podcast due to a local Girl Gang taking over (comprised of returning GBBV guests Claire, Stephanie, Katie, and Kayla) to watch Spice World, the movie about "the greatest girl group the world has ever known" the Spice Girls. Which is also a great piece of satire on popstardom and movie cliches!?! Jump to 1:28:20 for post-movie discussion on the fashion of the past, the nature of feminism in the 90s vs today, and how this movie surprisingly wraps up all its numerous plot lines.

Avid homebrewer and future podcast brother-in-law Ryan drops by the basement with several beer in hand to watch the Hardcore Henry with Max, James, and Regular Ryan. While not a video game movie per se the 96 minute first person insanity is certainly meant to invoke one. Jump to 1:36:50 for final thoughts on the beers, homebrewing, the majesty that is Jimmy, and a lengthy discussion on whether or not we think Henry should be able talk.

The GBBV Crew and special guest Kyle enter The Grid, a digital frontier, to discover if Tron: Legacy, the sequel 28 years in the making to the original film is any good or if it's just a neat looking movie that tries to bank on 1980s nostalgia and a killer soundtrack. While drinking beer of course. Jump to 2:03:45 to hear our final thoughts before deresolution on how the Tron films have aged, and our thoughts on the pacing, visuals, acting, and soundtrack of this entry to the series. End of Line. Opening theme: Tha Silent Partner – Prohibition Brew and Pork Chops
