Good Brews Bad Views

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
