Bad Movies & Beer

The guys are stepping into the confessional this week when they finally cover THE VELOCIPASTOR!

There's all kinds of sins being revealed in this one, from Nolan's views on the Catholic Church to Cooper's binary dating scale, not to mention one of the worst superhero origin stories ever produced.

Add in the very real possibility of dinosaur/human intimacy and it's no wonder this ended up as one of the most heavily edited (and ridiculous) episodes in the history of this podcast. Featuring a beer from the Church Brew Works.

Court is in session this week, and Cooper and Nolan are delivering their verdict on yet another notorious 90s comic book adaptation - JUDGE DREDD!

This underwhelming sci-fi/action hybrid definitely won't show up on any Sylvester Stallone highlight reels, but it DOES give the guys a chance to talk about deliberate casting, early green screen technology, and the comedy stylings of Rob Schneider.

Throw in some questionable Stallone impressions and not one but TWO near-spit takes, and you won't need to wait for a jury to deliberate; this episode (featuring a beer from the 555 Brewing Co.) is guilty of being a great time!

Cooper and Nolan are summoning some Halloween controversy this week, by digging into 80s cult classic PUMPKINHEAD!

Instead of trying to find a beer to match a movie, the guys decided to find a movie to match the Shipyard Brewing Company's wildly popular Pumpkinhead ale. That seemed like a good idea on paper, but it turns out the movie isn't NEARLY bad enough to appear on this podcast.

Luckily there's still plenty to talk (and laugh) about - from questionable character decisions to whether or not the title makes sense to a case of hilariously unfortunate tail placement. Not to mention a decisive "which practical fx were better" showdown with the topic of our last episode... Mac and Me!

If you're in the mood for some spooky fun, then take a trip down to the podcast patch; this very special Halloween episode is ripe for the picking!

Cooper and Nolan are headed downhill by special request this week, when they discuss what many consider one of the worst movies ever made - MAC AND ME!

This shameless ripoff of a MUCH more popular 80s movie is more nightmare than nostalgia, but that won't stop the guys from having a good time. And thanks to the terrible creature effects, even worse acting, and one of the most batsh*t crazy ending sequences you could possibly imagine, the conversation goes in some truly hilarious directions.

Ready to come along for the ride? Then get your wheels in motion; this episode (featuring a beer from Grist House Craft Brewery) is out of this world... and into your heart.

Cooper and Nolan are sending out an S.O.S. this week when they board the DEATH SHIP!

It's horror on the high seas, but the most disturbing thing might be seeing Captain Ed from The Naked Gun movies murdering a bunch of cruise ship employees.

Throw in some World War II backstory, VERY so-so makeup effects, and some - ahem - homages to more famous movies and you've got an ocean adventure that's sure to raise your sail. Featuring a beer from Adnam's Southwold Brewing company.

Cooper and Nolan are cleaning up the streets this week with some help from a beloved cult icon - THE TOXIC AVENGER!

After waiting literally YEARS to talk about this movie, the guys are going all out. From the pros and cons of dating the blind, to white slavery, to whether or not it's sadder to see a cute dog die than a human child, nothing is out of bounds in this conversation (except dry-cleaning jeans).

Throw in the usual assortment of immature humor and d*ck jokes - all teed up perfectly by the fine folks at Troma and a ridiculous screenplay - and you've got the makings of a MONSTER episode that's more fun than you can shake a mop at! Featuring a beer from Lot 10 Brewing Company.

Cooper and Nolan are back from vacation and kicking things off with a surprise Saturday Season Premiere, as they cover the movie that YOU voted for - DANTE'S PEAK!

Is this an underrated 90s gem, or yet another in a long line of forgettable disaster movies? That's just one topic the guys are racing to get to the bottom of, along with the number of sexy mayors, the best (and worst) ways to evacuate a city, and how long Pierce Brosnan can hold his bladder.

Things heat up quickly in this one, so get ready to move; this SEASON PREMIERE episode (featuring a beer from Aslin Beer Co.) is an eruption of fun just waiting to happen!

Cooper and Nolan will be back in just a few days with the first of 22 ALL NEW EPISODES!

Until then, here's a little taste of what the guys have on tap for Season 4.

Cooper and Nolan are hitting rewind in this very special BONUS EPISODE, when they get some JUSTICE NINJA STYLE from the fine folks at VHShitfest!

This shot on video labor of love packs a ton of action, low-budget production value, and glorious 80s hair into its surprisingly short run time, and was produced with the full support of the town of DeSoto, Missouri - resulting in a delightfully unique man on the run story/time capsule with tons of local flavor.

It's a blink and you'll miss it kind of movie, so keep your eyes open; this episode (featuring a beer from Town Brewery) is one you'll definitely want to catch before it disappears!

It's the 100th episode of Bad Movies & Beer, and Cooper and Nolan are dusting off their fedoras for one more adventure with INDIANA JONES AND THE KINGDOM OF THE CRYSTAL SKULL!

As any 80s kid will tell you, the Indiana Jones trilogy is practically sacred. At least it WAS, until one of Steven Spielberg's friends (a certain director from a galaxy far, far away) convinced him to squeeze even more money out of a beloved franchise. 

Did Spielberg and you-know-who manage to stick the landing by infusing an appropriate amount of nostalgia and fan service into a brand new story, all while remaining true to the spirit and characters of the original movies? OR... did they create something so terrible that the guys end up using the term "egregious" approximately 30 times in the course of describing it?

You can find the answer by clicking play, but what you WON'T find is Cooper's enjoyable rating, thanks to an argument so heated it caused him to forget all about it.

Still, there's plenty of treasures here for the taking; this episode (featuring a beer from the Sleeping Giant Brewing Company) is one you'll definitely want to explore!
