Good Beer Bad Movie NightGBBMN Episode 23 - Pink FlamingosBack at the end of 2023, we put a button on the end of a very shitty year. Yes, we know, this episode was recorded almsot 2.5 years ago... And yes, it does take Reuben an exorbatant amount of time to edit episodes. He juggles a lot (filmmaking, work, and family) so there's not a lot of time to sit down and edit despite it being labor of love. That being said, we aren't going to stop making the show, after all it still is something we love doing. We still seldomly record and there are a few banked episodes ready in...

Good Beer Bad Movie NightGBBMN Episode 13 - Can't Stop the MusicStrap on your time machine caps and head back to January when this episode was supposed to come out!Here, we were joined by friend of the show, @lessthanphill and his dog, Louie and cat, Oscar. Upon recording this episode he was on the cusp of fatherhood and we showered him with our saintly advice, although @michaellaboski did regale us of his horror stories of having twins. In honor of the film award season that just passed the duo decided to watch a couple of @the_razzies winners (?) starting with the very first #razzie winner, #cantstopthemusic We have to say tha...

Good Beer Bad Movie NightGBBMN Episode 22 - Gone Fishin'We had to take the time machine back after we recorded this as this was techinically our first ever remote guest episode with Reuben's brother Elan from Fanwood and his other "Brother from another Mother (and Father)" Jonah from West Orange. This was recorded right on the cusp of Jonah becoming a Dad, and even before Elan's wife became pregnant with their daughter. Check out Elan's amazing instagram page, @HealhtyLivingMeltzers where he and his wife chronicle healthy meal options in fun and scientific ways. Jonah is an incredible writer. Check out his blog and if you'd like to read an...

Good Beer Bad Movie NightGBBMN Episode 14 - Holmes & WatsonHere's our February episode coming to you 2 months late. Here we watched the 2018 Razzie winner for worst picture, "Holmes & Watson," and boy was it hard to get through. Thank goodness it was just shy of an hour and a half.This was recorded while Australia was on fire and we spoke about how there's probably better places to send your money than to Celeste Barber's gigantic famous people fundraiser. We start this episode off with Reuben giving Mike a present. Once the movie was going we debated the pronunciation of Ralph Fiennes, discussed Will Ferril's hits and misses, J...

Good Beer Bad Movie NightGBBMN Episode 15 - Mighty Peking ManFor episode 15 we had a new guest on the show, Marcus from Kingsville. When we recorded this (pre-Corona, which we laughed off as some distant threat) Marcus was on the cusp of fatherhood, and Phill & Pemmy from Ascot Vale had their beautiful baby boy (you noticing a bit of pattern here?). Marcus is heaps smarter than both of us and raises the IQ of the show 10 fold just by being included. We marveled at his myraid global travels and incredible multilingual skills, and to hear more about him we have an interview of him up on the Mad Alice Production P...

Good Beer Bad Movie NightGBBMN Episode 16 - Shin GodzillaRecorded back in early March (2020) when everyone thought the Coronavirus was some far off problem; we were getting excited for the release of "Kong Vs Godzilla" and lined up a kaiju double header.

Good Beer Bad Movie NightGBBMN Episode 17 - Star Wars: The Clone WarsHere it is, our Chanukah present to all of our dear listeners (Jewish and Non-Jewish alike) the first ever all family episode. It took a lot to record this one since it was also our very first remotely recorded episode, complete with lots of technical difficulties and antsy children. Speaking of kids, we had some non-alchoholic beers and a mocktail for them to try. This was Mike's kids' first exposure to Star Wars. It probably wasn't the best starting point for them... For Reuben's kids, they are Star Wars obsessed, so they were super keen to watch it, even though...

Good Beer Bad Movie NightGBBMN Episode 18 - CatsAbout a week or two before we slid into our second lockdown we were able to wrap up our double header of family episodes we were lucky to be able to head on over to Mike's place and record with both our families together and watch "Cats." An uncompromised nightmarish vision with only a hint of a story and a strong sense of #uncannyvalley from start to finish. Between Mike's partner, Thuy from Keilor, looking up what the plot was and some notes from #catsthemovie Super-Fan, Simon from the Video Store, we were able to parse together some semblance of...

Good Beer Bad Movie NightGBBMN Episode 19 - HK Hentai Kamen: The Forbidden Super HeroWe get real deep and emotional real fast on this one as it was recorded deep in the heart of our second (and longest) lockdown. We certainly touched on how doomed humanity is...We had a catch up lightning round where both of us commiserated about the difficulties of home schooling. Mike was watching a bunch of documentaries and struggled to deal with an overwhelming sense of gloom and doom. Reuben started the Lockdown recuperating from a minor surgery, then pitched a horror film, and helped Thy get the garden turned into a mini "urban farm." Our conversation...

Good Beer Bad Movie NightGBBMN Episode 21 - SteelThis was our first livestream episode broadcast on our Twitch. It was also Mike's birthday and he was pretty hungover. He was at a party the night before celebrating his birthday, his partner Thuy's birthday, and another friends, so yeah, he got smashed and we had to have a puke bucket on hand just in case. As you can see we watched 1997's "Steel" starring Shaq. We talk about the much better podcast, "Beer, Bourbon & A Movie," our philosophy on cooking, beer blends (refrencing Urbanaut in particular), and our old love of 90's NBA. We had lots of fun people...

Good Beer Bad Movie NightGBBMN Episode 20 - The Toxic AvengerThe long awaited episode 20 is out and what a fun adventure this episode is! We had two guests on that joined us remotely from New Jersey (home of The Toxic Avenger), BJ from "Average Joe Comic Show" and Ricky from Orange. BJ is Reuben's younger brother, and Ricky is one of his best friends, whose become friends with BJ over the years. Both our guests are HUGE superhero and comic book fans, so this seemed like the perfect episode to get them on board for. Unfortunately, Mike was super sick (not COVID, he got that later), so he wasn't his...
