Episode 133 - Jack Frost (1997)
Sunday Jan 26, 2025
Sunday Jan 26, 2025
Cooper and Nolan are welcoming winter this week when they cover JACK FROST!
This infamous straight-to-video horror movie about a homicidal snowman might have the same name as the family film starring Michael Keaton, but as anyone who came home from Blockbuster Video in the late 90s only to find the VHS tapes switched can tell you, they are VERY different things.
For example: would two guys watching the family friendly Jack Frost spend their time arguing about shrinkage, the rules of manslaughter, or how much better the movie would be if it starred Tom Atkins? (Ok, maybe that last one.)
Either way, this episode (featuring a beer from Grain & Grit Beer Co.) is one you won't want to leave on ice. After all, there's no excuse for not cleaning out your freezer!

Episode 132 - Riki-Oh: The Story of Ricky (1991)
Saturday Jan 11, 2025
Saturday Jan 11, 2025
Cooper and Nolan are turning the page this week when they take on RIKI-OH: THE STORY OF RICKY!
This bats**t crazy Hong Kong martial arts movie is filled with some of the most jaw-dropping practical effects that the early 90s had to offer. Add in the ridiculously over-the-top characters, overdubs, and story elements, and you have something the guys were struggling to classify.
Is this a comedy? Much like the source of Riki-Oh's incredible powers, the answer may never be fully known. But when a movie is this insanely entertaining... does it matter?
Don't lose your head worrying about the details; this episode (featuring a beer from Storyteller Beverages) is one story you won't be able to put down!

Episode 131 - Surviving Christmas (2004)
Tuesday Dec 24, 2024
Tuesday Dec 24, 2024
Cooper and Nolan are hoping for a miracle this week, when they cover SURVIVING CHRISTMAS!
Holiday cheer is in short supply in this early 2000s comedy, which came at a low point in star Ben Affleck's career. But maybe - just maybe - an implausible romantic subplot, jokes about masturbation, and a cameo appearance from Udo Kier can help this thing be seen in a new light.
Sound crazy? That might be the alcohol talking, as the guys continue their annual tradition of sampling MANY beers, this time from the Oranje Son Brewing advent case.
Make sure there's room at the table either way; this very special CHRISTMAS EPISODE is definitely one you'll want to bring home for the holidays!

So take a listen, and before long you just might be dreaming of an Oranje Christmas!

Episode 130 - Beyond the Valley of the Dolls (1970)
Wednesday Dec 18, 2024
Wednesday Dec 18, 2024
Cooper and Nolan are looking on up at the bottom this week, as they go BEYOND THE VALLEY OF THE DOLLS!
Free love is flowing in this hippie-era tale of temptation thanks to infamous exploitation director Russ Meyer, and the guys are going along for the ride.
And what a ride it is! One featuring sex, drugs, Superwoman, and the music of Strawberry Alarm Clock. Not to mention a bunch of over the top performances, and the most laughably intense overlays you'll ever see... or hear about.
Bottom line? It's a happening, and it just might freak you out; this episode (featuring a beer from Farm League Brewing) goes beyond anything you could have expected.

Episode 129 - Night Beast (1982)
Saturday Nov 30, 2024
Saturday Nov 30, 2024
Cooper and Nolan are having a night to remember this week, when they cover the early 80s sci-fi horror NIGHT BEAST by special request! Now if only they could remember who requested it...
The guys may not be 100% sure who asked them to cover this, but what's certain is that the story about a small Baltimore-area town being threatened by a laser-toting alien is absolutely bonkers.
Is the title of this movie accurate? Can the awkward sheriff, his sexy deputy, a corrupt mayor, a monotone coroner, and the most heroic civilian you could possibly imagine stop it from destroying the human race? And does this story actually take place in the 1950s?
2/3 of these questions may never be answered, but the chances are MUCH better that you'll enjoy yourself along the way; this episode (featuring a beer from the Avling Brewery) is an absolute beast of a good time.

Episode 128 - The Running Man (1987)
Monday Nov 18, 2024
Monday Nov 18, 2024
Cooper and Nolan are making a break for it this week when they cover THE RUNNING MAN!
Based on a novel by Steven King, this action packed piece of 80s sci-fi makes some surprisingly accurate predictions about the future, and features what is arguably an underrated Arnold Schwarzenegger performance.
Is that enough to overcome the paper thin characters, questionable fashion choices, and heavy handed social commentary of the era? Maybe not, but the guys are having a great time either way.
So get ready to hit the ground running; this episode (featuring a beer from Dawson Trail Craft Brewing) is one game you'll be glad you played.

Episode 127 - Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Next Generation (1995)
Thursday Oct 31, 2024
Thursday Oct 31, 2024
Cooper and Nolan are keeping things in the family this week when they talk TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE: THE NEXT GENERATION!
This ill-fated attempt to reboot a beloved franchise is full of confusing elements, from the filmmaker's intended message to whether or not aliens are involved in the bizarre conspiracy theory subplot, to Leatherface's sudden identity crisis.
But maybe the most confusing thing of all was the guys ending up on the exact opposite sides of an argument that you would expect them to.
It's a spooky switcheroo that you're definitely going to want to experience for yourself, so grab your chainsaw! This special Halloween episode (featuring a beer from the Neustadt Springs Brewery) is revved up and ready for your enjoyment!

Episode 126 - Hard Ticket to Hawaii (1987)
Wednesday Oct 23, 2024
Wednesday Oct 23, 2024
Cooper and Nolan are headed for paradise this week when they buy a HARD TICKET TO HAWAII!
This legendary piece of 80s cheese features embarrassing dialogue, laughable special effects, and some of the worst acting ever captured on film. But what it lacks in production value it makes up for in sheer, unbridled enthusiasm... for nudity.
With that list of ingredients it's no wonder the guys have had this movie on THEIR list since Day 1. So book your ticket today; this episode (featuring a beer from Spearhead Brewing Company) is a trip you'll never forget!

Episode 125 - The Village (2004)
Monday Oct 14, 2024
Monday Oct 14, 2024
Cooper and Nolan are searching for simpler times this week when they explore THE VILLAGE!
Some people remember this as M. Night Shyamalan's last "good" movie before things fell apart in the mid 2000s, but had cracks already started to form beneath the surface?
Between that and topics like city living vs. country living, whether or not restorative justice works, and how gracefully Sigourney Weaver is aging, there's plenty for the guys to debate. But there's one thing they both agree on - Adrien Brody should have taken Robert Downey Jr.'s advice from Tropic Thunder.
Ready to get rustic? It might have taken a village to make this episode (featuring a beer from Four Fathers Brewing Co.), but all you have to do to enjoy it is press play!
