Good Brews Bad Views

Good Brews Bad Views makes a hefty wager and go all in on watching Wise Guys for this episode of the podcast. This lesser Brian De Palma film stars Danny DeVito and Joe Piscopo and a cast of some of the most Italian looking and sounding men ever to come out of Newark. But is the movie enjoyable? That's what Max, Ryan, James, and special guest Russ are going to find out. 

Cash out your wager at 1:35:19 for the post movie wrap up on all things Wise Guys, beers, where this movie falls within the filmography of Brian De Palma, gambling stories, and movie recommendations for Russ.

If you're in the Metro Detroit area come see us at Batch Brewery on Wednesday June 26th at 8:30pm for a live show where we'll be watching Miami Connection with special guest host Katie Olds.

As everyone knows April Showers bring May Flowers, so we aptly decided for the Patreon Poll Episode for May to focus around plant based films, and what better movie than a movie Max, James, and Ryan, have vivid memories of as children despite never actually seeing it, than Pumpkinhead?

Good Brews Bad Views determines if there really is no fate but what they make by tuning into Terminator Salvation, is it as bad as they remember? Are the designs cool?

Tune your newly repaired audio listening device to 1:53:15  for the post movie wrap up on all things Terminator Salvation, Beer from a distant land, and a lengthy discussion on the diminishing returns of iconic 80s sci-fi franchises.

You know what they say, April showers bring May flowers, and the Good Brews Bad Views Patrons voted for 1998's Hard Rain, a flood-thriller that is likely the wettest movie we've done on the podcast so far. 

After heading for higher ground jump to 1:35:20 for our post movie wrap up on all things Heavy Rain, the many accompanying beers we had for this episode, how audience feedback can change the climax of movies, and how movie story beats would possibly change if remade today.

At long last Good Brews Bad Views dives into one of the true hallmarks of big budget utterly bizarre Hollywood movies with 1991's Nothing But Trouble, in which Chevy Chase and Demi Moore are beset upon by Dan Aykroyd and his deranged family in the industrial hellscape of backwoods New Jersey. Plus The Digital Underground is here? It's a Blind View for James and Ryan as Max exposes them to one of the wildest movies watched on the podcast.

Appear before the honorary reeve for sentencing at 1:31:45 for our post movie wrap up on all things Nothing But Trouble, our accompanying  beer, the strange place in time the movie exists, the wild story of how this movie came to be, the movie's unlikely connection to Clive Barker's Hellraiser, and a Very Special Announcement at the end of the episode.

Keeping on brand with our Godzilla episode, the GBBV Patrons voted for Pacific Rim: Uprising for this months Patreon Poll Episode. The sequel to Guillermo Del Toro's 2013 Big Robot punches Big Monster movie, the 2018 installment has a very clear demographic it is marketed towards and has been punched up more times that Jaegers punch Kaiju over the 2 hr run time. Enjoy.

Drift Dive to 1:44:55 for our post movie wrap up on all things Pacific Rim (Uprising and Otherwise), Beers, the other movies from the poll, other recent Kaiju movies and TV series to check out.

With the upcoming release of Godzilla x Kong: This Time They're Frenemies, Good Brews Bad Views decides to return to 1998 to check out the first American installment of Godzilla, which features numerous Simpsons connections oddly enough.

Track the big lizards movement to 2:15:20 for our post episode wrap up for our final Beer and Godzilla thoughts, what makes a kaiju film work, openly crying at the movies, and our favorite Godzilla installments.

The Good Brews Bad Views Patrons have decided that the most appropriate way to celebrate of our Lord and Master Nick Cage, is for Max, James, and Ryan to watch the Renfield, where Cage puts on the cape of Dracula himself while demeaning his loyal servant Renfield. The podcast is joined by Nick Cage/Dracula expert Maddy Gibbons as you need to be well prepared for this kind of thing.

Follow your affirmations and tune to 1:29:45 for the post episode wrap up where the fangless foursome discuss all things Renfield, non-blood based beverages, the fickle nature of marketing and expectations, and Dracula interpretations.

In the Good Brews Bad Views Patreon Poll, the gauntlet was thrown down for the podcast to watch "the embarrassingly long directors cut" of The Lawnmower Man, and Max Ryan and James picked up that gauntlet. Dry January may not have been the time to watch this 90s VR filled nonsense movie.

Slot your data disc to 2:19:25 for our post movie wrap up on all things Lawnmower Man, N/A Beer, the evolution of VR, and pondering on the availability of movie props.
