Good Beer Bad Movie Night Podcast

For our “Podcast Birthday Month”, we watch Attack of the Mushroom People, featuring the least attacking mushroom people you’ve ever seen. Honestly, this movie should have been called “Stranded on an Island with the Mushroom Pacifists”. Or, as Kathleen suggested, “The Island of Mushrooms and Nothing Actually Happens”. Listen as Dave and Pete try to …

Charlie and Nate from Give Me Back My Action and Horror Movies join us. Pete and Troy have been moonlighting over on their podcast and we finally got them on our show. Six podcast hosts = chaos. Enjoy. We got a fun Millie report from Kathleen. She’s always good for a great laugh. I need … Continue reading "EP075 – Speed 2 (1997) with Give Me Back M…

It’s July and we dive into an amazing independent film written and directed by Pierce Berolzheimer; CRABS! This is a huge recommend so go buy yourself a copy. This episode descended into madness rather quickly at the end. Clearly it’s the beer’s fault. Super Fan Jen was joining us from out of town and off … Continue reading "EP074 – Crabs! (2022)"…

This month, GBBMN swapped movies with Steven and Leo over at Spoils of Horror podcast. Kathleen was terrified that I had selected something for SoH to watch and the return movie was revenge for giving them such a stinker. Not so. It was an even exchange with neither of us having seen the selection. Pete … Continue reading "EP073 – They’re Watching"…

Well, with all great plans can come great failure, and Pete’s massive failure was spectacular. Madrid is NOT in Mexico. Idiot. Pete saves Dave’s ass by skirting a joke he made about his wife. See if you can catch the near catastrophic, life ending comment. If you’re a kaiju fan, this has a kaiju in … Continue reading "EP072 – Witchin’ and Bitchin’ …

Kathleen has decided to celebrate her half-birthday by finally giving into Troy’s constant nagging to watch Quigley Down Under. As usual, he had a vague sense of once really liking this movie, once upon a time. Mind like a steel trap, our Troy. It turns out to be a pretty damn good western that takes … Continue reading "EP071 – Quigley Down Under (…

For Dave’s stupid birthday he dug deep into his childhood to remind us all that The Beastmaster still exists, and your lives are meaningless without it. This time we are joined by the incomparable Millie, who voices her unflattering opinion of one of Dave’s childhood favorites. Six Pack ratings: Millie – 5 non-alcoholic beverages Pete … Continue re…

We sat down with Jordan McLaughlin; the creator of the amazing card game Don’t Get Stabbed. We talk about how he got started, where he’s going and of course what kind of beer he likes. We employed super-fan James to help us talk nerd with Jordan. Don’t Get Stabbed trailer Rookie Mage Games Nuns with … Continue reading "GBBMN Bonus – Don’t Get Stabb…

Pete’s wife, Jodi, used her powers of persuasion to get the cast to watch this turd. While not the worst thing we’ve every reviewed, Jodi is no longer allowed to pick movies, no matter how sick she is. This is two shows in a row that Pete has FAILED the Six Minute Synapses time limit. … Continue reading "EP069 – The Legend of Tarzan (2016)"…

Happy New Year, listener, welcome to 2023. The question for our first episode of the year is, Has Pete picked the most perfect movie for GBBMN? Does this movie completely embody the the essence and the spirit of GBBMN? Has Kathleen reached a new level of loathing for the show and more specifically Pete for … Continue reading "EP068 – Death Spa (198…

Knowing Pete is not a fan of musicals or zombie movies, naturally Kathleen chose a zombie musical.Oleh Good Beer Bad Movie Night

This movie sucked the life out of the cast. Nate from Give Me Back My Horror Movies is to blame and he WILL live to regret it. If you haven’t surmised by now, Pete is an idiot. Columbus Brewing Company was started in 1988 and NOT 1998. Pete is a dummy. I am a firm … Continue reading "EP066 – Spawn (1997)"…

This month is Troy’s fault…and no one really minds! Celebrate Troy’s *redacted* birthday with the 1980 cult classic…Flash Gordon! Listen to Pete, Dave, Kathleen and Troy try and fit everything they say into the iconic Flash Theme Song. Troy treats(?!) us to a…er…rousing 6-minute synopsis. Two beers. One Brewery. North High Brewing dominated Troy’s …

FOR NANA!! This show is dedicated to my dear friend Jeff Larkin who unexpectedly passed away from a heart attack at 52. Jeff was the best kind of friend you could have; tough love when you needed a kick in the pants, kindness when you were in pain and fiercely loyal. His laughter was infectious … Continue reading "EP064 – Zombie Strippers (A Jeff L…

We don’t cover action movies very often but Dave wanted to do this one and who are we to deny him? We had our first “straight” rating. Well it’s more of a straight than a full house. Get with the poker program, Kathleen. We’re not sure if we’ve ever covered a film with a more … Continue reading "EP063 – John Carpenter’s Vampires (1998)"…

Our Five Year Anniversary rolls back the clock to the very first episode we recorded which is now “lost” to time. APE is a special kind of awful that is a hoot to watch in a group of like minded friends. Watching it alone is not recommended. Pete is an idiot. MASH was not filmed … Continue reading "EP062 – A*P*E"…

Happy Cinco de Mayo to you. This year we deviate from or traditional weird luchador film and dive feet first into the ridiculous and bloody Machete. Kathleen schools us all on how to say her maiden name correctly. Featured Beers:– Trajo’s Cerveza Lager by the Lincoln Brewing company– Paradox Brewery Arno Palmer Speaking of Danny … Continue reading …

We celebrate Kathleen’s faux-birthday with a very NOT bad movie…MEAN GIRLS! Lindsay Lohan battles the ultimate evil that is Rachel McAdams’ Regina George. And Troy finally discovers what the hell Kathleen has been talking about for the past 15 years as he at last watches the source of 95% of her movie quotes. Featured Beers: … Continue reading "EP0…

Dave continues his streak of choosing yet another of the most reviled movies in the history of Good Beer Bad Movie Night. Earning a rare rating of sixes across the board– 1999’s Wild Wild West earned the absolute lowest possible score, generally reserved for movies which are staggeringly, insultingly bad. Featured Beer: Great Lakes Brewing … Contin…

Pete had high hopes for this film. It seemed to have all the makings for a great “bad movie” but it turned out to be a boring dud with dodgy rules. Shockingly, Kathleen and Pete see eye to eye on this film. Pete needs to learn the difference between cellulite and celluloid. Ya dummy. I … Continue reading "EP058 – Maximum Overdrive (1986)"…

Otherwise entitled “Tremors in the snow” by Kathleen. She’s not wrong. Pete’s under the weather and sounds like a muppet. That said it seems that we had some unexpected technical issues from the recording. One of these days we’ll grow up and become a REAL podcast. Somehow there are 7 Tremors movies. Baffling and wonderful … Continue reading "EP057 …

Happy Holidays from the Give Me Back My Podcast Network.Oleh Good Beer Bad Movie Night

Kathleen stages a mutiny and restores the Good Beer Bad Movie Night tradition of watching a crappy Hallmark Holiday movie instead the promised Tremors: Cold Day in Hell. Not only did she kick me off the show for an episode she made me edit the damn thing as well. Merry freaking Christmas to me. I … Continue reading "EP056 – It’s Christmas, Eve. (Th…

After an unfortunate loss of an entire episode (that still makes my heart hurt saying) we are back with a beer-drinking creature feature that was surprisingly well received by the cast. The big news that was supposed to land last month is the we’ve joined the Give Me Back My Podcast Network and are excited … Continue reading "EP055 – Grabbers (2012…

I’ve given the Pick Six Movie Podcast some friendly ribbing recently for “mining” GBBMN for content since Howard the Duck, Grizzly, The Swarm and Grumpy Cat’s Worst Christmas were all covered by GBBMN first. Well now I have egg on my face as the Last Boy Scout was recently covered by our friends with and … Continue reading "EP053 – The Last Boy Sco…

It’s been way too long since we’ve reviewed a kung-fu movie and Dave picked a modern classic. Kung Fu Hustle is an absurd film in the most wonderful way. One of our shortest episodes packs in a lot of laughs in a universally adored film. Yes EVEN Kathleen likes this one. Kathleen’s initial description of … Continue reading "EP052 – Kung Fu Hustle (…

It’s that time of year again…the one month of the year when the cast stops insulting the subpar works of Hollywood and instead they say nice things about the passion projects of up and coming filmmakers! Independent Movie Month! This time, Pete brings us two proper horror films. We start with Colm Donston’s Happy Campers. … Continue reading "EP051 …

Oh boy do we have some problems. Our first in-person recording since the world ended and it’s like we forgot how to set up the equipment. The audio, much like Pete’s jokes, is dodgy at best. Please forgive us but you get what you pay for. https://untappd.com/b/hi-wire-brewing-oude-trois-sour-saison/3856967…

In which Kathleen desperately tries to find us another May holiday to celebrate Pete attempts to guess at the meaning of Japanese words Dave’s cat lodges several complaints Luchadors’ Goddaughters are turned into ‘babesicles’ We find ourselves with a wide range of opinions on the movie: Troy – 1 beer Pete – 1 beer Dave … Continue reading "EP049 – C…

Grizzly is a bonkers Jaws rip-off that wasn’t as horrible as you might think it would be. My guess is that Pete’s entertaining 6-minute synopsis may have softened the casts view. The cast throws up a little in their collective mouths after reminiscing about our poor choices of college beers. “Anything Ice. blech” – Troy … Continue reading "EP048 – …

Join the Good Beer Bad Movie Night podcast as we slog through Johnny Mnemonic, Dave's horrible birthday pick! On a somewhat related note, Dave may no longer be allowed to choose movies.Oleh Good Beer Bad Movie Night

Join the gang for a film filled with blood fountains and gratuitous 80s references. Thanks to Superfan Tim Lee for suggesting this one. You know them and you love them but we finally introduce two NEW members of the GBBMN team, Mitch and Murry! They certainly had a lot to say about this movie. Our … Continue reading "EP046 – Turbo Kid (2015)"…

Join the GBBMN team for dumb ass jokes and binge drinking at BEERFEST! Send us suggestions for American Drinking Songs. The cast is still somewhat ashamed that they could not come up with better examples than “Sweet Caroline” and “Piano Man”. I mean seriously… Troy treats us to the most annoying 6-minute penalty of all … Continue reading "EP045 – B…

Another year another holiday movie. This year makes me long for Grumpy Cat’s return. Seriously, there’s an Ice Cream truck in this movie and the writers weren’t able to get Clint Howard to drive it just ONCE? Missed opportunity. I’ve done the listeners a favor and added a direct link to Troy’s new favorite past-time; … Continue reading "EP044 – San…

Highlights from episode 43. How boring is this movie? Troy will let you know. Dave shared his uncanny knowledge of the Backstreet Boys and other 80s boy bands. Troy wishes the GBBMN listener movie poll would go away. Send up feedback whether or not it should stop or continue. Reminiscing about Pat Dailey always triggers … Continue reading "EP043 – …

The month of October lands us another birthday month and Troy has chosen (sorta) Freaked! in celebration of the latest Bill and Ted release. To the surprise of a few cast members, both Bill S. Preston Esq. and Ted “Theodore” Logan are in this film. Sweet Water Brewery 420 Strain Pale Ale was a big … Continue reading "EP042 – Freaked! (1993)"…

Join the hep cats of GBBMN as we groove to this far out movie! Don’t listen to what the squares say, it’s totally dynamite! Highlights of the episode: Find out that Troy doesn’t know what state Baltimore is located in…moron! Learn all about the God-awful snacking habits of Pete’s extended family. (now THAT’S horror!) Just … Continue reading "EP041 …

Highlights from episode 40. This month the “fans” got to select a film for our viewing displeasure. Don’t feel too bad though, all of the selections were turds. This one probably let us down the most. Don’t miss the outtakes for something special. Dave does a great Karen Carpenter. Who knew the a Jelly Bean … Continue reading "EP040 – Ghost Rider (…

It’s the most shocking episode of GBBMN ever, as the crew review not one. Not TWO! BUT THREE short films for our Independence Month show…which all culminates in a surprising confession from Kathleen. Highlights from Episode 39 The first short we discuss, a cartoon made by friend of the show Mark Bailey, is called It … Continue reading "EP039 – Howl…

The cast reviews the winner of last month’s poll: Country Strong, starring Gwynneth Paltrow, Tim McGraw, eighton Meester, and Garrett Hedlund. On a related note, we may not be doing any more polls, as it’s clear our listeners are cruel, cruel monsters. Highlights from Episode 37 Did you know Kathleen hates Gwynneth Paltrow? Everyone in … Continue r…

Highlights from Episode 37 For our May episode we watch another lucha libre movie, this time featuring the celebrated Mil Mascaras. Pete attempts to introduce the episode in Spanish. On a possibly related note, apologies to any Spanish speaking listeners. It’s nice to watch a movie that’s unironically cheesy. Terrible, but nice. Dave’s cat celebrat…

Highlights from Episode 36: This movie was so much dumb fun. Mostly dumb. We are joined by Donna who, being a Jeremy Renner fan, actually saw this movie in the theater. We all appreciate the high production quality of the movie, use of awesome production design, practical effects, creature design, and on-location shoots, which is … Continue reading…

A movie with Robbie Coltrane, Liam Neeson, and a golden, five-pointed, razor-tipped boomerang of awesomeness still managed to suck.Oleh Good Beer Bad Movie Night

The Guyver would have been a lot more fun if we were either six years old or kind of drunk. Well, we’re not six so DRUNK IT IS!Oleh Good Beer Bad Movie Night

Highlights from Episode 33: Special Guest Host and historian Jen cheerfully returns to torment us with this wretched cinematic outrage. To anaesthetize ourselves, Jen also provided two very strong beer selections: Double D Double IPA from Fordham & Dominion, weighing in at a muscular 9% ABV Whiskey Rebellion from Warped Wing Brewing Company, at a ……

Highlights from Episode 32: We’re joined by a few special guests Donna returns for the third holiday season in a row, continuing her tradition of avoiding us the other 11 months of the year. Katie, our resident Hallmark/Lifetime Christmas movie expert, explains the general themes and common tropes of the genre. None of this however … Continue readi…

Highlights from Episode 31: One may accurately determine the amount of gratuitous female nudity a movie contains based upon Kathleen’s level of annoyance. For example, Kathleen said the word “stupid” no fewer than 8 times within the first two minutes. Pete needs ten minutes to give the six minute synopsis, so either Pete can’t count … Continue read…

Highlights from Episode 30: Whelp. It’s Troy’s Birthday month, so this is HIS fault. And now everyone else hates him. Dr. Seuss should maybe stick with the books. German words should always be shouted. Beers this month were supplied to us by the Forbidden Root brewery out of Chicago, who will soon be opening a … Continue reading "EP030 – The 5,000 …

Highlights from Episode 28: Joel Schumacher’s feature film debut and not a single batsuit nipple in sight. Spaghetti Arms: the psychological phenomenon of confusing two people that share the same first name (e.g., Patrick Stewart vs Patrick Swayze, Christopher Walken vs Christopher Lloyd, etc). Kathleen needs ten minutes to give the six minute syno…

Highlights from Episode 28: Once again, our listeners chose this horrible movie for us via online poll. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice… The cast tries to avoid talking about the movie by discussing more pleasant topics, like what happens to your poop after eating beets. Our awesome friends at GBBMN Australia … Continue reading "EP028 – T…
