Things get a little chilly for James, Ryan and Max, as the GBBV Patrons voted for the guys to watch Frosbiter: Wrath of the Wendigo this month, which takes place in Max's beloved Upper Peninsula and features more than a few nods to the spectacular Evil Dead 2.  Jump to 1:20:29 for final thoughts on beer, this Troma movie, Chili, plus Ryan makes a Solemn Promise...

Every now and then Good Brews Bad Views foregoes the usual vetting process of movies for a Blind View, where Max, James, and Ryan watch and react to the movie in real time. This process has led to some episodes that are absolute gems (Santa's Slay, Guardians) but Doom: Annihilation... is at the complete opposite end of that spectrum. Jump to 1:36:25 for the GBBV Crew's sincere apologies about this movie, what a Doom needs to succeed, and the final thoughts on thematically appropriate  beer and cider. Like what we're doing?

In an effort to stay Relevant, Good Brews Bad Views starts off the horror movie season with 2007's Dead Silence, to see if there is anything to the recent claims that this Creepy Doll movie is actually good. Jump to 1:29:26 for our final thoughts on this claim, the beers that helped us through the movie, what we think of creepy doll movies in general, the other horror movies of James Wan and Leigh Whannell, and how much time we could cut off this movie and still have one. >>Good Brews Bad Views: Live!

Max sits down with Ryan Balicki, Shaun Koltuniak, and Jeremy Lewis of Copper Hop Brewing Company to talk about their dreams of bringing a brewery to a small downtown area, how the brewing industry is unlike any other, Brewing Destination Cities, what to expect from Copper Hop when it opens later this year, and their ongoing Kickstarter.

The GBBV Patrons have sentenced Max, James, and Ryan to watch Judge Dredd as the second movie of Slytember, and so they must comply. The hosts have a bunch of beer donated by friends of the podcast though, so it's not all bad, but as Rob Schneider is accompanying Stallone once again, it's just mostly bad. Jump to 1:33:24 for final thoughts on beer from the awesome fans, recasting this movie with various Chrises, the versatility and wasted potential of Judge Dredd, and what turns out to be diametrically opposed opinions about this movie.

Good Brews Bad Views seems to be all about the monthly theme as of late, and for his birthday James requested the 1993 Stallone-'Em-Up Demolition Man. So September 2019 is now Slytember 2019. Listen in terror as GBBV witnesses a future where apparently only police officers are allowed to wear pants, toilet paper no longer exists, and everything worth living for (i.e. beer and spicy food) has been outlawed. Jump to 1:54:30 for our final thoughts on the various barrel aged beers, misremembered demolition and carnage, movies not being as ridiculous as we want them to be, and the art of subtle world building.

James is back in Kailua, Hawaii (again) so he dropped by Lanikai Brewing to talk with founder and head brewer Steve Haumschild about the intricacies of using truly wild yeast (like from space), bio-prospecting, and "Hawaiian Solutions to Hawaiian Problems."

Creature Feature Month concludes with Tremors 3: Back to Perfection, voted upon by our Patrons! GBBV brings in Graboid Expert Steph (Spice World, Street Fighter, Sudden Death) to consult on how the series has gone from comedy-horror to Direct to Home Video action-comedy and to join James, Max, and Ryan in an extensive beer blending experiment with beer from Batch Brewing. Jump to 1:44:00 for GBBV for our final thoughts on how our Beer Blending compares against Batch's, our Creature Feature dream movies, how to prepare Beaver Tails (not the carnival food), and The Chris Cross.

Returning from Hawaii with a bunch of beer and liquor in hand, Good Brews Bad Views dives into Creature Feature month, starting off with giant misplaced crocodile movie Lake Placid. Despite that, prepare for GBBV to refer to it as an alligator with increasing frequency as more beer is consumed. Jump to 1:20:25 for our after movie wrap up on how we want more ridiculous crocodile action, an in depth discussion on the Hawaiian beer scene, our recast of this movie in 2019 and the GBBV Crew stumbling into a new post movie segment called "Chris Cross" Like what we're doing?

James, Ryan, and Max recount their yearly pilgrimage to Gen Con and the best things they played, ate, & experienced this year in Indianapolis. And Steph recounts her trip to Madison and the Cross Fit Games and the best cheese available.

James, Ryan, and Max take a break from endlessly wandering the Vendor Hall at Gen Con to sit down with Shane Ivey and Scott Glancy to talk about cinematic acts of terrorism, schlocky movies that made their way into Delta Green, the long process of getting Great Old Ones to punch each other, proletariat adventuring, and designing distinct looking fantasy with artist Kurt Komoda.

We've decided to let our Patrons vote on one episode that we will record each month, and of the 3 possible monkey based movies, Monkeybone was the clear winner. Calling in from the far off land of Canada, International Girl Gang member Erin joins GBBV to discuss this utterly bizarre Brendan Fraser film. Jump to 1:31:40 for our final thoughts on Monkeybone, the unfinished comic series it is based off of, and Max's idea that this movie and the 1989 Batman movie have the same exact plot.

In Howling II: Your Sister is a Werewolf, take everything you know about werewolves and chuck it out the window, replace it with New Wave eroticism and a plot that would expect from a vampire movie. Maybe that's why Christopher Lee is in it. In short this movie is beyond ridiculous and some of the GBBV Crew think this movie is fairly awesome. Jump to 1:33:00 for our final thoughts on what is our most risque episode so far as Max, James, and Ryan try to figure out what the werewolves are up to besides having orgies in this 1980s campy horror flick.

In the far distant past of 1969, a 22 year old Arnold Strong "Mr. Universe" (now commonly known as Arnold Schwarzenegger) made his Hollywood debut in Hercules in New York, wherein the Greek demigod goes to Earth to flex, be confused, and gain a strange obsession with sweaters. While Arnold's physique was never finer, this may not have been the best movie to to cut his acting teeth on.

There's no argument to be made that Dungeons & Dragons is more popular than it ever has been. So Good Brews Bad Views decided that with the Summer Gaming Convention season upon us, what better time than to revisit the live action D&D movie from 2000, and talk about how they all first got into RPGs. Jump to 1:44:27 for our final thoughts on the movie, some beer that was much too good for it, and post movie discussion on how D&D works better as a series, what settings Max and James would like to see on the screen, and Ryan thoroughly beating a dead horse.

Good Brews Bad Views foregoes the usual accompanying movie commentary to instead do a lengthy recap on the latest "season" of the show touching upon all beers, movies, and notable performances in Cleaning Out The Fridge 3.
