Good Brews Bad Views

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!?!

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.

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.

The GBBV Guys fend off The Plague going around to get together to recount recent beer and whiskey based adventures and watch the Aaron Eckhart headed I, Frankenstein, a movie with a plot eerily similar to Van Helsing but with the most attractive Frankenstein's Monster ever put on screen.

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.

Nicolas Cage returns to the Good Brews Bad Views (and Earth) in the car focused supernatural revenge film Drive Angry! In 3D! Justin Hein, graphic artist for Frankenmuth Brewery and one of the organizers of the Nicolas UnCaged film festival stops by to drink some tasty beer from Michigan's Oldest brewery and talk all things Nick Cage.

Somehow Sylvester Stallone and his movies have managed to avoid being the focus of Good Brews Bad Views after 60 some episodes, but all things come to an end. 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.

For the final episode of 2018, the GBBV Crew sit down to watch The Gingerdead Man, where the soul of Gary Busey possesses a cookie that creates havoc in a bakery that should have been shut down long ago for numerous FDA violations.

While it is still fresh in their minds, Ryan, James, and Max sit down to talk about the Peter Jackson World War One documentary They Shall Not Grow Old.

We continue our now yearly tradition of SupleXmas (wherein a professional wrestler portrays Santa Claus to varying degrees of entertainment) with the 1996 Hulk Hogan helmed, Santa with Muscles. After a case of Movie Amnesia the Hulkster becomes the Clauseter and has to save an orphanage from being closed on Christmas by Dickensian SoCal villains, because this is how kids Christmas movies work. Keep an eye out for numerous future That 70's Show stars and quality child acting in the "3rd worst Christmas movie ever" that is also part of the GBBV Cinematic Universe.
