Good Brews Bad Views

It's December which means its time for the time honored tradition known as Suplexmas! Our first wrestler helmed movie is Christmas Bounty, a made for TV film starring The Miz which focuses around hiding your past life as a bounty hunter from your fiance despite having to come out of retirement for One More Job, at Christmas. Loads of Made for TV Hijinks and New Jersey Stereotypes abound in what may be our shortest movie to date. Jump forward to 1:16:00 for our final thoughts on Christmas Bounty, Christmas Beers, and what other better movies Ryan owns on Vudu, which apparently is a video platform. Who knew.   Like what we're doing? Why not check out our Patreon. https://www.patreon.com/goodbrewsbadviews Opening theme: Dee Yan-Key- Alpine Bells

The GBBV Patrons have selected Santa Jaws, a movie whose title alone has piqued our interest for this month's Patron Voted Episode. And what better premise than a holiday shark slasher to Blind View, which seems to have become a November tradition.   Jump to 1:27:00 for our final thoughts on Santa Jaws, the variety of beers Max, James, and Ryan drank, the under utilization of this movie's premise, and what other Shark Based movies The Algorithm recommends. For the foreseeable future we have switched to remote recording for our safety and in typical GBBV Fashion we experienced some technical difficulties in recording this episode.  We managed to salvage 98% of the episode but lost some of the intro and outro and have taken steps to prevent this in the future.

The GBBV Patrons have sentenced James, Ryan, and Max to Gods of Egypt, a CGI laden, white washed, fantasy adventure film about a world where 10 ft gods walk among regular sized humans.

With everything that has happened to it over the last few years, one would think that the cruise industry would be as dead as the inhabitants of 2003's Ghost Ship. Unfortunately this is not the case.

Set course for 1:30:25 for the post movie wrap up where Max, Ryan, and James discuss the highs and lows of what Ghost Ship delivers and postulate on what a sequel could bring to the table.

"I can't look at the cat right now." While Good Brews Bad Views is still on hiatus we've decided to release this Bonus Episode of podcast friends Steve Cuff, Claire Higginbottom, Dave Mariouw, and Max talk about CATS, which they had just all finished seeing at a local theater. Aside from the biggest cinematic blunder of last year other topics of discussion include: Exchanging Wardrobes, Cereal Mascots, Cobra, the irresponsibility of the British, Manic Pixie Dream Dads, Lola Bunny, the state beer of Montana, and why by law Claire and Steve are not allowed to occupy the same state. Please be advised this episode is super explicit, so you better make sure you're muted on that Zoom call.

Using their weather control powers (aka voting) the GBBV Patrons have manipulated the Frasercast to result in Max, James, and Ryan watching George of the Jungle. Rest assured there will be several concussions and many moments of the guys throwing their heads back in laughing. Swing to 1:30:10 for our post movie wrap up on beer, the lasting influence of this movie, whether George of the Jungle is the perfect family movie, and a Flintstones vs. George of the Jungle debate.

GBBV dives into the pulps with the latest Patron fueled episode, Dick Tracy!

James, Ryan, and Max try to pair beers along side the movies they watch (as who doesn't love a good/bad pun) in what is known as the Brew Bonus.

When a GBBV Guest wants to watch a Nicolas Cage movie, watching a Nicolas Cage movie is what happens. Kristi joins in with some patriotic themed beer to watch National Treasure: Book of Secrets where Benjamin Franklin Gates must prove that his Great Great Grandfather wasn't a treasonous Confederate that helped assassinate Abraham Lincoln. By finding a city made of gold? Yeah the plot doesn't make much sense. Also James officially breaks after 91 episodes. Jump to 2:04:15 for our after move wrap up in which we establish how nothing in this movie really matters, there are no stakes in this movie, what we would want from a sequel, what might be on Page 47 of The President's Secret Book, and the hideous proportions of Nick Cage on the movie poster.
