Bad Movies & Beer

Episode 70 - Voyage of the Rock Aliens (1984)

The guitar-shaped spaceship has landed this week with VOYAGE OF THE ROCK ALIENS!

This new-wave curiosity is a bright, fun, synth-filled musical that absolutely screams 80s, but it's also FILLED with sexual innuendo - either that or Cooper and Nolan's brains are still stuck in last week's steamy Basic Instinct 2 episode.

Either way, you're going to want to come along for the genre-bending ride; this episode (featuring a beer from R. Shea Brewing) is a voyage that's DEFINITELY worth taking.

Episode 69 - Basic Instinct 2 (2006)

This week Cooper and Nolan are celebrating their 69th episode by taking a risqué ride with BASIC INSTINCT 2!

14 years after the shocking events of the original, Sharon Stone is back to prove that older women can still be sexy. But can older women carry almost 2 hours of movie without help from Michael Douglas and director Paul Verhoeven?

If you've seen this then you already know the answer, but there's still plenty of ridiculous things to talk about and inappropriate jokes to be made (not to mention a beer selection that Ms. Stone would probably *NOT* appreciate from Country Boy Brewing).

It's going to be a steamy good time, so ditch your inhibitions and get ready to dive in; this episode is a risk you won't regret taking!

Episode 68 - Birdemic: Shock and Terror (2010)

One week after their spectacular season premiere, Cooper and Nolan are taking flight with BIRDEMIC: SHOCK AND TERROR!

Widely considered one of the worst movies ever made and allegedly produced on a budget of $10,000, the guys were obviously expecting it to be bad. But nothing could have prepared them for just how bad the muddled audio, sub-porn caliber acting, and visual effects straight out of a PlayStation 2 game could get. (Not to mention the totally unexpected and heavy-handed message about climate change.)

Get ready to run for cover; this episode (featuring a beer from Eleventh Hour Brewing Co.) is definitely full of shock and terror... just not the kind the movie's director was hoping for.

Episode 67 - Starship Troopers (1997)

Summer is done, and thanks to an absolute blowout of an audience poll, Cooper and Nolan are going on a bug hunt with STARSHIP TROOPERS!

Whether you consider this late 90s Paul Verhoeven movie razor sharp satire or actual fascist propaganda (or just a kick-ass piece of 90s action), there's one thing we can ALL agree on - Jake Busey was the wrong choice.

There's plenty of other strange decisions that went into this one and the guys are covering them all, so come on you apes; this episode (featuring a beer created by Iron Maiden!) is one you're definitely going to want to sign up for.

Season 3 Preview!

Starting later today, Cooper and Nolan are back with another season of ALL NEW EPISODES!

Until then, sit back and let our third time charm you with some drunken silliness that'll (hopefully) make sense later.

BONUS Episode - Ice Cream Man (1995)

It's the middle of the summer, but in this special BONUS EPISODE Cooper and Nolan are beating the heat with a little help from the ICE CREAM MAN!

It's legendary celebrity sibling Clint Howard like you've never seen him before - in a starring role! And while the guys may not agree on whether or not that needs to happen again, no one can argue that this movie isn't two scoops of B-movie greatness. (In a waffle cone, naturally)

So jump on your bike and ride along for some hot-weather horror; this episode (featuring a beer from Prince Eddy's Brewing Co.) is one that we'll ALL scream for!

Episode 66 - Road House (1989)

Cooper and Nolan are celebrating the end of their second season by doubling down on a true 80s classic - ROAD HOUSE!

The guys agree that in an extremely testosterone-fueled action era, Patrick Swayze's philosophical bouncer brought something different to the table (especially for the ladies). But that might be the ONLY thing they agree on, as arguments break out about:

- Whether more of this movie's budget was spent on Patrick Swayze's salary or tables

- If it's possible for a woman in the 80s to be sexy while wearing glasses

- What the correct way to rip a man's throat out is

...plus what might be the biggest argument in the history of this podcast, over whether or not gunshots can make a car blow up. Not to mention all of the d**k jokes and random movie theories you've come to expect over two full seasons.

So step up to the bar! This SEASON FINALE episode (featuring a beer from Wishbone Brewing Co.) is serving up something you won't want to miss.

Episode 65 - The Counselor (2013)

Cooper and Nolan are making a run for the border by special request this week when they discuss THE COUNSELOR!

It's a movie that proves that no matter how big your director, budget, and stars are, things can still go horribly horribly wrong. ESPECIALLY if the script is as absolutely insane as this one.

But hey, if you like pretentious dialogue, bizarre sex scenes, and more heavy-handed metaphors than you could possibly imagine, then this could be the movie for you! (Just you though... as the guys will confirm, this is NOT a date movie.)

It's a lot to take in and even more to process, but one thing's for sure - this episode (featuring a pair of beers from Cheetah International Brewers) is more fun than the law should allow!

Episode 64 - Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home (1986)

Cooper and Nolan are having a whale of a time this week when they travel back to the 80s with STAR TREK IV: THE VOYAGE HOME.

It's a movie that's equal parts environmental propaganda and fish out of water comedy, which might be a sign that at this point the producers were running out of ideas. But don't try telling that to Cooper's brother, who makes the podcast's first ever guest appearance to fight for the franchise he loves.

Before that happens, the guys spend some time trying to answer the tough questions, like are whales really aliens? Did the Enterprise crew alter the course of history? And Saavik vs. Saavik, which Saavik would you choose?

Time to report to the bridge; this episode (featuring a beer from Cameron's Brewing) is boldly going where no man has gone before!

Episode 63 - Disco Godfather (1979)

Cooper and Nolan are putting their weight on it this week when they discuss the unbelievable DISCO GODFATHER!

The guys fully expected this to showcase the kind of raucous comedy, incredibly low budget production values, and sexual content that are typically associated with Blaxploitation legend Rudy Ray Moore, but what they DIDN'T expect was a larger-than-normal dose of social commentary along with some legitimate attempts at artistic expression.

That doesn't mean there isn't plenty to laugh about though... between the ridiculous costumes, nonsensical filler scenes, and one absolutely ludicrous Kung Fu showdown, it's clear that while the name may have changed, it's still DOLEMITE, baby!

So get ready, mister - if you mess with this episode (featuring a beer from the Dieu du Ciel! Brasserie), you might never be the same again.
