Bad Movies & BeerEpisode 89 - The Serpent and the Rainbow (1988)Cooper and Nolan are trying to stay above ground this week when they encounter THE SERPENT AND THE RAINBOW!
This late 80s Wes Craven movie came the guys' way by sheer luck - after receiving the podcast's first ever BEER request, they Googled "movies about voodoo", and here we are.
And as if the glaring plot holes, era-appropriate special effects, and extremely bland leading man (Bill Pullman, anyone?) weren't enough to dig into, there's also the small matter of the way the zombie powder gets administered - by blowing it in people's faces (insert joke...2023-04-0858 minBad Movies & BeerEpisode 88 - National Treasure: Book of Secrets (2007)Cooper and Nolan are on the hunt for truth this week when they take a look inside NATIONAL TREASURE: BOOK OF SECRETS!
Of all the mysteries this movie provides, the biggest one might be how Nicolas Cage ended up being cast as the hero in this soon-to-be trilogy from the Walt Disney Company. But there's plenty of other strange things to uncover in this one, like why nobody ever uses their cell phone to take a picture, or how our main character manages to KIDNAP THE PRESIDENT and then drive all the way to Mt. Rushmore without...2023-03-3152 minBad Movies & BeerEpisode 87 - Cat People (1982)Cooper and Nolan are walking on the wild side this week, as they enter the world of CAT PEOPLE!
This one of a kind 80s offering is equal parts horror and erotic thriller, and it's filled with enough head-scratching moments to send the guys into a frenzy.
No wonder they can't agree on such topics as:
- Sexual acts that do or do not turn people into jungle cats
- Would you rather? Incest edition
- Why some women swim topless
...and more!
It's going t...2023-03-2357 minBad Movies & BeerEpisode 86 - Highlander (1986)Cooper and Nolan are making their bid for immortality this week, as they cover legendary 80s movie HIGHLANDER!
From unfortunate casting (Sean Connery as a Spanish Egyptian) to terrible acting (the kind that makes you wonder how someone ever had a career) to the vaguely sexual nature of the quickening (is it just us?), there's an entire lifetime's worth of things to talk about.
Throw in a soundtrack from Queen (don't get your hopes up) and you've got a recipe for something truly special. Better gather round; this episode (featuring a beer from Highlander Brew...2023-03-1659 minBad Movies & BeerEpisode 85 - Spice World (1997)It's International Women's Day, so Cooper and Nolan are handing the podcast over to their wives for a different perspective on a unique piece of 90s nostalgia - SPICE WORLD!
More time capsule than coherent story, this movie perfectly captures a cultural moment that our guest hosts experienced firsthand. But there's more to this than just memories, as the girls cover topics like:
- Does this have a plot?
- 90s fashion is back!
- How to properly address the Spice Girls
- Name that British Celebrity
- Lyrics that didn't age...2023-03-0857 minBad Movies & BeerEpisode 84 - The Howling (1981)There's a full moon out on the podcast tonight, and Cooper and Nolan have returned from their mid-season break to talk about THE HOWLING!
This early Joe Dante movie may be beloved by horror fans, but is it more of a dog than a wolf? The guys aren't sure, especially since the quality of the effects, music, and acting all vary WILDLY from scene to scene (pun intended). But that doesn't mean it wasn't a good time, thanks in no small part to a surprising amount of sexual content.
So if you're feeling frisky, let...2023-03-0354 minBad Movies & BeerBONUS Episode - Pumping Iron (1977)Cooper and Nolan are working off some winter weight in this very special BONUS EPISODE, as they get into PUMPING IRON!
This 1970s bodybuilding documentary may have introduced the world to Arnold Schwarzenegger, but it also provided the guys with a ton of laughs and some pretty ridiculous theories.
Theories like:
- Did Arnold Schwarzenegger invent prison workout culture?
- Was Lou Ferrigno secretly in love with him?
- Do bodybuilders get literal workout boners?
...and perhaps most importantly, was this entire documentary staged?
There's...2023-02-1759 minBad Movies & BeerEpisode 83 - Cobra (1986)Cooper and Nolan are feeling snakebit this week when they cross paths with COBRA!
This VERY stereotypical 80s action movie runs less than 90 minutes, which explains why the guys have so much time for after talk. What CAN'T be explained is why they spend so much time talking about how tight Sylvester Stallone's pants are.
It definitely isn't because of a lack of action, what with the plentiful amounts of car chases, gunshots and Stallone-penned dialogue - all brought to you from the fine folks at Cannon Films.
Either way, there's no hard...2022-12-2846 minBad Movies & BeerEpisode 82 - Black Christmas (1974)The call is coming from inside the house this week, as Cooper and Nolan celebrate BLACK CHRISTMAS!
This OG slasher is a Canadian classic that has retroactively been called a landmark of horror cinema, but that same 2022 hindsight is forcing the guys to ask questions like...
- How old-looking is too old-looking to play someone in their early 20s?
- Have cell phones made things easier or harder for serial killers?
- Is John Saxon the Tom Atkins of horror movies?
Throw in some unrelated talk about abortion and...2022-12-2559 minBad Movies & Beer2022 Christmas Beer Draft!In this very special BONUS EPISODE, Cooper and Nolan unbox (and unwrap) the 12 Days of Unfiltrd Beermas Advent Calendar from Whiprsnapr Brewing Co.
After revealing all twelve (and discovering this year's secret theme), the guys draft their beer roster for today's BLACK CHRISTMAS episode.
With six Christmas-themed beers each (plus two other beers that Nolan forgot about), it's going to be a very merry Christmas!
2022-12-2421 minBad Movies & BeerEpisode 81 - Miami Connection (1987)Cooper and Nolan are taking a Florida vacation this week when they check out MIAMI CONNECTION!
Written, starring, casted and partly directed by local Tae Kwon Do legend Y.K. Kim, this 80s regional cinema delight is a perfect example of what happens when a man with a dream finds someone willing to fund it.
Amazingly, the combination of enthusiastic amateurs, bargain basement special effects, and positively-themed original songs produced something that's truly hilarious, which probably explains why clips of this movie have been passed around the internet ever since the internet was a thing.2022-12-1648 minBad Movies & BeerEpisode 80 - Tammy and the T-Rex (1994)Cooper and Nolan are transplanting themselves into a truly bizarre piece of 90s moviemaking this week - it's TAMMY AND THE T-REX!
Originally titled "Tanny and the Teenage T-Rex", this twisted teen romance was HEAVILY censored to get a PG-13 rating. But thanks to the mad scientists at Vinegar Syndrome, the guys are enjoying ALL the gore (and there's lots).
The result is an absolutely insane comedy/sci-fi/horror/romance about a high school cheerleader and an animatronic dinosaur containing the brain of her murdered boyfriend.
Sound like a lot to handle? You h...2022-12-0953 minBad Movies & BeerEpisode 79 - Motel Hell (1980)Cooper and Nolan are trying not to buy the farm this week when they check into MOTEL HELL!
This horror/comedy hybrid is packed with incredible 80s effects, iconic imagery, and more than a few genuinely creepy moments. No wonder it quickly became a cult classic!
Still, that won't stop the guys from making fun of some of the more...simple aspects of this movie - including a performance so awful that it might deserve a spot on the bad acting Mt. Rushmore.
So get ready to take a big bite out of...2022-12-0356 minBad Movies & BeerEpisode 78 - Super Mario Bros. (1993)Cooper and Nolan (and resident Nintendo expert Producer John) are going for 8-bit glory this week, when they load up SUPER MARIO BROS.!
Every kid in the early 90s was insanely excited for this one when it was announced. Unfortunately for the guys' 10-year old selves, the producers made some EXTREMELY strange choices in terms of plot, costumes, and how faithful they should stay to the video game.
The result is an insane fever dream that makes the guys wish they had a warp whistle to travel ANYWHERE else. So hold on tight; this episode (f...2022-11-2858 minBad Movies & BeerEpisode 77 - Teen Wolf (1985)Cooper and Nolan are unleashing the beast this week when they talk TEEN WOLF!
Is this fondly remembered 80s movie a thinly veiled puberty metaphor, a shameless attempt to cash in on Michael J. Fox's Back to the Future success, or just a PG attempt at raucous teen comedy?
All of the above! Or at least that's what the guys make a case for when they aren't busy breaking down what might be the worst basketball scenes ever committed to film.
Feeling frisky? Then don't be shy; this episode (featuring a beer from...2022-11-2148 minBad Movies & BeerEpisode 76 - Truck Turner (1974)Cooper and Nolan are delivering incredible 70s action this week with the Blaxploitation classic TRUCK TURNER!
Starring legendary soul singer Isaac Hayes as the titular bounty hunter and Nichelle Nichols (aka Lt. Uhura from Star Trek) as the leader of a stable of hookers who wants him dead, this piece of low-budget movie magic is almost too ridiculous for words (but here's four: pimp funeral, bedazzled eyepatch).
Did this world ever actually exist? The guys aren't sure, but they're thrilled to be going along for the ride. So why not hop in? This episode (featuring...2022-11-1154 minBad Movies & BeerEpisode 75 - Streets of Fire (1984)Cooper and Nolan are turning up the heat this week with STREETS OF FIRE!
Armed with a killer soundtrack and a before-they-were-star-studded cast, a lot of people thought this movie had a chance to be something great. And maybe - in another time, another place - it could have, but apparently NOT in 1984.
The guys may never agree on what caused this one to fail (Bad acting? B-movie vibes? Too many motorcycle explosions?), but they both agree that it deserved better.
So get ready to take it to the streets! This episode (featuring...2022-11-0452 minBad Movies & BeerEpisode 74 - Halloween III: Season of the Witch (1982)Cooper and Nolan are headed for horror again this week, as they celebrate their third Halloween (and the 40th anniversary of the movie) with HALLOWEEN III: SEASON OF THE WITCH!
It's a strange sort-of-sequel that offers both tricks (terrible acting, a nonsensical plot, no Michael Myers) AND treats (a surprisingly good ending, horror legend Tom Atkins, horror legend Tom Atkins' moustache), but how does it stack up to other 80s horror movies the guys have watched?
The answer may surprise you, so expect the unexpected; this episode (featuring a beer from The Second Wedge Brewing...2022-10-2854 minBad Movies & BeerEpisode 73 - Diamonds Are Forever (1971)James Bond is BACK on the podcast this week, as Cooper and Nolan take a close look at DIAMONDS ARE FOREVER!
Widely considered one of the very worst movies in the history of the franchise, Sean Connery's return to the 007 role was anything but triumphant. IN FACT... with the campiness dialed up to 11, this one feels more like a Roger Moore Bond movie (or like the old Batman TV show).
Maybe that's why the guys feel like Connery is phoning in his performance, or maybe he was just uncomfortable with the sexy bodyguards with cartoon...2022-10-2352 minBad Movies & BeerEpisode 72 - Nightmare Beach (1989)Cooper and Nolan are hitting the beach for some pre-Halloween horror this week with a movie that perfectly sums up the 80s... NIGHTMARE BEACH!
This low budget slasher was (allegedly) made by at least one Italian director who - based on the ridiculous number of clichés and stock characters - was clearly watching a LOT of American TV. But that didn't stop him/them from filling south Florida with surprisingly respectable amounts of blood, gore, and electrocution, all while creating a movie that's basically adult Scooby Doo.
Sound crazy? You have no idea, so g...2022-10-1457 minBad Movies & BeerEpisode 71 - Double Team (1997)This week Cooper and Nolan are balling out with a movie that's at least twice as ridiculous as the last Jean Claude Van Damme movie they covered... DOUBLE TEAM!
As if casting Dennis Rodman as JCVD's mismatched buddy (and allowing him to sing on the soundtrack) wasn't confusing enough, the producers fill the screen with so many abnormally large explosions, pieces of broken glass, and nameless characters shooting at each other that it becomes practically impossible to tell what's going on. But don't worry, they also manage to include literally every action movie cliché you can think o...2022-10-0759 minBad Movies & BeerEpisode 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.
2022-09-2857 minBad Movies & BeerEpisode 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* a...2022-09-2149 minBad Movies & BeerEpisode 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...2022-09-1654 minBad Movies & BeerEpisode 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...2022-09-0955 minBad Movies & BeerSeason 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.
2022-09-0801 minBad Movies & BeerBONUS 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...2022-08-0448 minBad Movies & BeerEpisode 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
2022-06-2356 minBad Movies & BeerEpisode 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.)2022-06-1647 minBad Movies & BeerEpisode 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...2022-06-0956 minBad Movies & BeerEpisode 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...2022-06-0253 minBad Movies & BeerEpisode 62 - Tales From The Crypt: Bordello of Blood (1996)This week the guys are closing out the Tales From the Crypt franchise once and for all when they pay a visit to the BORDELLO OF BLOOD!
While it may not feature the incredible acting talents of Billy Zane (which is strikes one and two according to Cooper), in many ways this final installment is more true to the classic HBO TV show than its predecessor, DEMON KNIGHT.
It's got all of the cheesy effects, corny jokes, and ironic twists you'd expect from the Cryptkeeper and company, plus a heaping handful of nudity that teenage...2022-05-2651 minBad Movies & BeerEpisode 61 - Phantom of the Paradise (1974)Cooper and Nolan are selling their souls for rock n' roll this week when they meet the PHANTOM OF THE PARADISE!
It's the Phantom of the Opera like you've never seen it before, and the guys have all kinds of questions: Who was in charge of casting? Are the similarities with The Rocky Horror Picture Show just a coincidence? And most importantly of all, how does a guy who writes a huge musical about a man selling his soul to the devil not realize when it's happening to him?
This early Brian De Palma film...2022-05-1947 minBad Movies & BeerEpisode 60 - Under Siege (1992)It's hilarity on the high seas this week, as Cooper and Nolan are covering a true early 90s sensation - UNDER SIEGE!
Yes, it was undeniably a massive hit when it came out. But as the guys will tell you, with each passing year Steven Seagal's one-time movie star status becomes harder and harder to understand.
Is he the world's worst (successful) action hero? Maybe, but that doesn't stop this from being a thoroughly entertaining movie - one that features C-level acting, ridiculous deaths, and the unforgettable sight of Gary Busey in drag.
...2022-05-1253 minBad Movies & BeerEpisode 59 - The Beastmaster (1982)Cooper and Nolan are going wild this week when they unleash the awesome power of THE BEASTMASTER!
It's an epically ambitious piece of sword & sorcery that started off with a short theatrical run, found a second life as a cable TV staple, and eventually got the deluxe VSU treatment from the fine folks at Vinegar Syndrome.
Quite a journey, but that's nothing compared to what the guys experience as they try to navigate this movie's many bizarre elements. Using animals to enhance your own sexual experiences? S&M guards in assless chaps? Hooking up with y...2022-05-0556 minBad Movies & BeerEpisode 58 - Chopper Chicks in Zombietown (1989)Cooper and Nolan are traveling to Tromaville for this week's episode, as they check out CHOPPER CHICKS IN ZOMBIETOWN by special request!
This undeniably bizarre 80s disasterpiece features more leather, denim, and giant hair than you'll know what to do with. Is it horror? Comedy? Sci-fi? The guys aren't sure, but one thing they DO know is that thanks to the mad scientists behind this movie, they can now cross "Zombie b***job" off their "Things I never thought I'd see" bingo cards.
That's just one of the many, MANY ridiculous things that happens in...2022-04-2754 minBad Movies & BeerEpisode 57 - Dude, Where’s My Car? (2000)The guys are taking a trip down memory lane this week with the unforgettable 2000 comedy DUDE, WHERE'S MY CAR?
Despite being firmly in the target audience for this movie, Nolan somehow never saw it as a teenager - putting his grumpy woke Dad vibes in direct conflict with Cooper's 90s nostalgia. Maybe that's why they spend most of this episode alternating between laughing like stoners and arguing like old men.
Still, it's a fun 4/20 adventure that (much like a movie that features blind kids, strippers, ostriches, a space cult, and Andy Dick in a cage) go...2022-04-2159 minBad Movies & BeerEpisode 56 - Coffy (1973)Cooper and Nolan are pouring themselves a hot cup of 70s action this week with the blaxploitation classic COFFY!
Legendary actress Pam Grier is on a one-woman quest for justice, and the guys are on a two-man quest to try to make sense of the gritty world of pimps, pushers, & prostitutes. Apparently it's a world of individual theme songs, gratuitous use of dummies, and horrible attempts at accents, with just enough social commentary sprinkled in to make this somehow not feel totally ridiculous (although there ARE a lot of shirt rips).
What IS ridiculous is...2022-04-1345 minBad Movies & BeerEpisode 55 - Heart Condition (1990)Is recommending that your client join a movie where a racist cop gets haunted by the ghost of his Black arch enemy (after first receiving that arch enemy's heart via transplant) enough to get a Hollywood agent fired? You can hear the answer this week when Cooper and Nolan review what is quite possibly Denzel Washington's worst movie ever - HEART CONDITION.
In all seriousness, there's so much that goes wrong with this alleged comedy that it would be impossible to put the blame on one person, but that won't stop the guys from taking their best...2022-04-0655 minBad Movies & BeerEpisode 54 - Showgirls (1995)After three failed attempts, Cooper and Nolan are FINALLY taking a look at one of the most legendary bad movies of all time - SHOWGIRLS!
It's Elizabeth Berkley like you've never seen her before - unsuccessfully trying to act angry. She's also flashing a LOT of skin as she awkwardly dances her way through what is either a brilliant satire of "Star is Born" movies or an genuine attempt that went horribly wrong.
The guys might not know which it is, but they DO know one thing... the James character did NOT need to be...2022-03-3056 minBad Movies & BeerEpisode 53 - Theater of Blood (1973)Cooper and Nolan are raising the curtain on some 70s horror this week with THEATER OF BLOOD!
In this low-budget bit of British cinema, horror icon Vincent Price gets to live out every actor's dream by murdering his critics. But could that ever actually happen? Let's just say the guys might be reconsidering some of the things they've said in past episodes.
That's because once you've seen the lengths a man will go to for revenge - amateur surgery, trampoline swordfights, death by train - anything seems possible.
So get ready for the...2022-03-2349 minBad Movies & BeerEpisode 52 - The Boondock Saints II: All Saints Day (2009)The guys are getting their Irish on this week with THE BOONDOCK SAINTS II: ALL SAINTS DAY, the "Wait, when did they make that?" sequel to legendary cult favorite The Boondock Saints.
For Cooper it's a paint-by-numbers action movie with characters who have NOT aged well, but for Nolan (who was told he was Irish for the first 36 years of his life) it's an emotional journey through the very fabric of his identity.
There's also bad jokes, bad accents, and all kinds of bad decisions, which can only mean one thing - the MacManus boys...2022-03-1857 minBad Movies & BeerEpisode 51 - The Karate Kid Part II (1986)Cooper and Nolan are back from their mid-season break, and thanks to a very special audience request they're waxing on (and off) about THE KARATE KID PART II - aka The Karate Kid, but in Japan this time.
Much like the movie's producers, the guys are running back enjoyable bits from earlier installments, such as:
- Who's the real hero of this movie?
- Everyone loves Elizabeth Shue
- Is that guy actually (insert cultural background here)?
...plus their usual assortment of d**k jokes and nonsense.
...2022-03-0952 minBad Movies & BeerBONUS Episode - Let My Puppets Come (1976)In this very special BONUS EPISODE, Cooper and Nolan try desperately to hang in there as they discuss LET MY PUPPETS COME, a movie that can best be summed up by the phrase "Puppets make a porno".
This bizarre piece of 70s underground cinema (released on Blu Ray from the fine folks at Vinegar Syndrome) was Nolan's birthday present back in their October gift exchange, and it's a ridiculous, absurd, totally offensive piece of shock comedy that features just about every puppet sex act you could think of - and some that you probably couldn't.
...2022-02-1548 minBad Movies & BeerEpisode 50 - Top Gun (1986)Cooper and Nolan are taking a ride into the danger zone this week with Tom Cruise's 80s classic TOP GUN!
It's another controversial choice for this podcast - one that began as a desire to find a BIG movie for the 50th episode, and one that ends with Cooper offering to let the estate of director Tony Scott kick him in the balls.
Along the way the guys argue over topics like whether there's more to the Maverick/Iceman relationship than meets the eye, if Kelly McGillis was the right choice for the role of...2021-12-2952 minBad Movies & BeerEpisode 49 - Silent Night, Deadly Night Part 2 (1987)One year after tackling the original, a very drunk Cooper and Nolan are keeping their Christmas promise by covering SILENT NIGHT, DEADLY NIGHT PART 2!
Since the first movie did a perfect job of setting up a sequel, the guys went in with high expectations. And thanks to the 12 Beers of Christmas from Whitewater Brewing Company, they also went in with extremely high blood alcohol levels.
The results were a lot like the grown up version of main character Ricky - an angry, sloppy mess. After the longest beer talk in the history of this podcast...2021-12-2359 minBad Movies & BeerEpisode 48 - Double Impact (1991)Cooper and Nolan are doubling down on action this week, with the unforgettable DOUBLE IMPACT!
In addition to pushing the limits of early 90s green screen technology, this movie also pushed the limits of Jean-Claude Van Damme's acting ability by having him play not one but TWO characters... who both speak with a Belgian-French accent and know karate.
Is there a limit to how far this movie can stretch its ridiculous premise? And speaking of stretches, does JCVD (either of them) find an excuse to work in his trademark splits? The answer won't surprise you!2021-12-1545 minBad Movies & BeerEpisode 47 - Rhinestone (1984)Better polish your spurs, because this week Cooper and Nolan are putting the boots to RHINESTONE - the legendary country comedy flop starring Sylvester Stallone and Dolly Parton.
It's a pairing that raises more questions than answers, and the guys have plenty of questions of their own.
Is there such a thing as an Italian perv? Do all men automatically want to see strange genitalia? And is anyone in this movie NOT a stereotype?
No matter the answer, this episode (featuring a beer from Big Rock Brewery) is guaranteed to be a rip...2021-12-0847 minBad Movies & BeerEpisode 46 - Hell Comes to Frogtown (1988)Cooper and Nolan were feeling froggy this week, so they decided to jump into legendary 80s B-movie HELL COMES TO FROGTOWN!
With a plot straight out of a porno movie and professional wrestling legend Rowdy Roddy Piper battling giant mutant frogs in the lead role, this might be the least controversial movie choice in the history of this podcast.
But even though it sounds (and looks, and feels) ridiculous, could there be a powerful message lurking beneath the surface? Maybe! Or maybe the guys just got drunkenly caught up in all the bizarre action, comedy...2021-12-0147 minBad Movies & BeerEpisode 45 - Event Horizon (1997)This week Cooper and Nolan open the gateway to infinite space (and infinite terror) with EVENT HORIZON!
Originally pitched as the Shining but in space, This movie went on to become a beloved cult favorite despite absolutely bombing at the box office.
Did it deserve better? That's what the guys try to figure out as they make their way through gore, jump scares, and an all-time creepy performance by Sam Neill (or is it Bill Paxton?).
They've also got a perfect beer connection from Halo Brewery, so don't be scared - where this e...2021-11-2453 minBad Movies & BeerEpisode 44 - Game of Death (1978)It's a fight to the finish this week, as Cooper and Nolan attempt to survive the GAME OF DEATH!
What do you get when you take 11 minutes of Bruce Lee footage and try to stretch it into a full-length movie? A whole lot of smoke, mirrors, and laughable editing, not to mention the definitive example of Brucesploitation.
At least the guys have a great beer connection from Rouge River Brewing Company, but will that (along with an unforgettable fight scene involving Kareem Abdul-Jabbar) be enough to make up for the many MANY unforgivable parts of t...2021-11-1756 minBad Movies & BeerEpisode 43 - Sweet November (2001)Things are getting emotional this week by special request, as Cooper and Nolan spend some time with SWEET NOVEMBER.
Hated by critics, loved by fans (at least according to Rotten Tomatoes), this movie is basically a metaphor for Keanu Reeves' entire career. But will his unique charisma and... let's say "interesting" choices be enough to win the guys over?
The answer may surprise you, especially after sitting through a truly insane ad pitch, Keanu Reeves singing (!), and a tearjerker ending you can see coming a mile away.
Better get the tissues ready; this epis...2021-11-1049 minBad Movies & BeerEpisode 42 - Batman & Robin (1997)Cooper and Nolan are turning on the bad signal this week for the movie that almost killed DC's greatest franchise once and for all - BATMAN & ROBIN!
Glow in the dark Batmobiles, never-before-mentioned characters, anatomically correct Batsuits... with all of the bad decisions that went into this one it's no wonder the guys spend most of the episode playing games like:
-F Marry Kill
-Who Acted it Worse?
-Movie Faceoff (aka "What would you rather watch than this?")
All while trying to deal with some of the cringiest dialogue you'll ever hear!
2021-11-0355 minBad Movies & BeerEpisode 41 - Friday the 13th Part III (1982)Cooper and Nolan are celebrating Halloween a few days early this year with FRIDAY THE 13TH PART III! It's the first appearance of Jason in his iconic hockey mask, and also the first appearance of the THIRD DIMENSION!
That's right, thanks to the magic of 3D the terror is practically jumping off the screen, and the guys are making their own magic by taking a drink everytime there's a gratuitous 3D shot. (Spoiler alert: There are LOTS)
It's an episode full of mismatched friends, poor decisions, and potential genitalia nicknames (the yo-yo, anyone?). And thanks...2021-10-2747 minBad Movies & BeerEpisode 40 - Blame it on Rio (1984)Cooper and Nolan are beach bound this week for what might be their most uncomfortable episode ever. But don't blame them... BLAME IT ON RIO!
It's a controversial comedy that left the guys with more questions than answers. How did this get made? Who thought it was a good idea? And most importantly, will this movie finally disprove Cooper's theory that there are no 80s pervs?
There's only one way to find out, but be careful - this episode (featuring a beer from Beaches Brewing Co.) might make you want to bury your head in...2021-10-2053 minBad Movies & BeerEpisode 39 - Happy Birthday to Me (1981)Cooper and Nolan are celebrating another trip around the sun this week with HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!
What should be a fairly straightforward 80s slasher goes so far over the top with red herrings and surprise reveals that the guys are STILL arguing over who the real killer is, but there's lots to enjoy, from classic teenage shenanigans like bridge chicken and underwear theft to slightly stranger pursuits like experimental brain surgery and faking your own death. Not to mention what might be (according to Nolan) the greatest death scene in the history of film - not b...2021-10-1359 minBad Movies & BeerEpisode 38 - Die Another Day (2002)Cooper and Nolan might have survived Moonraker last season, but now they're going down together with DIE ANOTHER DAY!
As soon as they heard the theme song they knew they were in trouble, but it wasn't supposed to be this way! The 20th James Bond film (and Pierce Brosnan's farewell to the role) was meant to celebrate Bond's past and usher in a new era of action and equality. Turns out the only new thing we got were stunts so unrealistic that they had to use a floppy CG Bond to pull them off.
All o...2021-10-0656 minBad Movies & BeerEpisode 37 - The Jazz Singer (1980)This week the guys are saying hello again to terrible remakes with the 1980 version of THE JAZZ SINGER!
Cooper loves Neil Diamond, but will it be love on the rocks when he has to watch him act? Has Nolan finally met a montage he didn't like? And what on earth is Sir Laurence Olivier doing in this movie? (Answer: A HORRENDOUS accent)
And don't forget about THAT SCENE, which is as ridiculous as it is offensive.
Throw on your best sequined shirt; this episode (featuring a beer from Bicycle Craft Brewing) shows why ev...2021-09-2949 minBad Movies & BeerEpisode 36 - Flash Gordon (1980)There's a bad moon rising on the podcast this week, and Cooper and Nolan know there's only one man who can stop it - FLASH GORDON!
It's the guys' first audience request of Season 2, and it's also a movie that (nearly) changed the course of cinematic history.
And as you'd expect from a film produced by Dino De Laurentiis, there's a boatload of absolutely insane characters, costumes, fight scenes and "special" effects.
Better grab your power ring: this episode features a collaboration between Third Moon Brewing and Badlands Brewing Co., and might be ou...2021-09-2254 minBad Movies & BeerEpisode 35 - The Exterminator (1980)It's a two-man war on movie crime this week as Cooper and Nolan tangle with THE EXTERMINATOR!
If the guys want to survive a movie that Roger Ebert once called "a sadistic exercise in moronic violence," they'll have to deal with unnecessary padding scenes, extremely questionable performances ("Ya want the sheets???"), and a plot with more holes in it than the Exterminator's victims.
Don't fear the flashback; this episode (featuring a beer from the Forked River Brewing Company) will push you juuuuuust far enough.
2021-09-1549 minBad Movies & BeerEpisode 34 - Back to the Future Part II (1989)Cooper and Nolan are back, and they're kicking off Season 2 with the episode that YOU voted for - BACK TO THE FUTURE PART II!
Many people (including Nolan) have fond memories of this movie, but will that change when the guys go back in time to re-experience it?
That's just one of the many questions being answered this week, along with whether the future we live in is a disappointment, what happened to Crispin Glover, and - perhaps most importantly - who wins the Jennifer face-off? (We know who has Cooper's vote)
Hop on...2021-09-0855 minBad Movies & BeerSeason 2 Preview!In just 5 days, Cooper and Nolan will be back with BRAND NEW EPISODES! Before then, enjoy a taste of the mischievous humour, drunken shenanigans, and semi-legitimate film criticism that the guys are bringing back for another round.
2021-09-0301 minBad Movies & BeerBONUS Episode - Total Recall (1990)When they covered the Colin Farrell remake of TOTAL RECALL a few months ago, Cooper couldn't believe that Nolan had never seen the (vastly superior) original. And while that version might be too good to appear on a bad movie podcast, it's the perfect choice for a BONUS EPISODE! Just like Doug Quaid, the guys are letting their minds wander on this one - original Nintendo, Boglins, Sally Jessy Raphael, Little People Big World - nothing is off limits. So strap yourself in, because this very special episode (featuring a beer from Halcyon Barrel House) is one that you won...2021-07-2859 minBad Movies & BeerEpisode 33 - The Wicker Man (2006)It's the end of Season 1, and it's also time for Cooper and Nolan to get BACK IN THE CAGE, because this week they're burning through THE WICKER MAN! Remakes of beloved movies are always dicey, but when that remake stars the incomparable (and incomprehensible) Nic Cage, there's no telling what might happen. But just like Officer Edward Malus, the guys won't be deterred - armed with beer from Royal City Brewing Co., they're ready for all of the twists, turns, and revelations that the movie (and Nic Cage's performance) have to offer. Don't worry, everything's going to "bee" ok.
2021-06-2452 minBad Movies & BeerEpisode 32 - The Human Tornado (1976)There's a storm warning in effect for the podcast this week, because Cooper and Nolan are getting all twisted up in THE HUMAN TORNADO!
If you like ridiculous outfits, amateur Kung Fu fighting, gratuitous nudity, instant replays, and watching rat soup-eatin' m*********ers get what they deserve, then you'll understand why this was the perfect choice for our first ever blaxploitation movie - one that even an unfortunate beer connection can't ruin. (Which is definitely NOT a slight against the fine folks at Outlaw Brew Co.)
Grab on to something sturdy, because this episode might j...2021-06-1955 minBad Movies & BeerEpisode 31 - Mars Attacks! (1996)This week Cooper and Nolan are bracing the podcast for invasion (or worse) when MARS ATTACKS! What was supposed to be a story about aliens marching on Earth turned out to be the story of peak Tim Burton flying too close to the sun. It's a rough trip, full of hacky comedy, cartoonish CGI, and an A-list cast that got completely squandered along the way. Better assemble the welcome party; this episode (featuring a beer from Nickel Brook Brewing Co.) is about to make contact.
2021-06-0953 minBad Movies & BeerEpisode 30 - Night of the Demon (1980)This week Cooper and Nolan venture deep into the woods by special request in an attempt to explain NIGHT OF THE DEMON! But considering that it's a movie about Bigfoot (not demons), that mmmight not be easy. What WILL be easy is laughing at the terrible Sasquatch costume, 70s sex scene choreography, and increasingly ridiculous death scenes. That poor biker...
This episode (featuring a beer from Beau's Brewery) is a (video) nasty good time!
2021-06-0256 minBad Movies & BeerEpisode 29 - Murphy's Law (1986)Cooper and Nolan are on a two-man quest for justice this week with MURPHY'S LAW, and they don't care how many 80s cop movie tropes they have to go through to get it! Thanks to the magic of Charles Bronson (and more of the incredible production value you've come to expect from the Cannon Films Group), what seemed like a paint-by-numbers cop thriller gave the guys a lot more than they expected - more genre-bending tonal shifts, more incredible one-liners, and more senior-citizen-aged action scenes than you can shake a crossbow at. Jack Murphy's law says don't miss this ep...2021-05-2657 minBad Movies & BeerEpisode 28 - Godzilla (1998)This week Cooper and Nolan take a bite out of the big apple with the legendary 1998 monster movie misfire GODZILLA! Terrible casting, a wildly implausible story, low-hanging laughs... there's plenty to pick apart in this disaster of a movie. In FACT, if it hadn't been for the 9.5% ABV beer from Signal Brewery or the Brooklyn bridge making an appearance (Nol loves bridges), this might have seriously made the guys reconsider accepting audience requests. Better get ready for the big one, because this episode is larger than life!
2021-05-1959 minBad Movies & BeerEpisode 27 - The Last Dragon (1985)This week Cooper and Nolan are getting their glow on with Berry Gordy's THE LAST DRAGON - a movie that (despite being harmless fun) almost caused the guys to break out some Kung Fu on each other. They may never agree on who the audience for this movie is supposed to be, but if you like martial arts action, bright colours, and 80s music, then maybe the answer was inside you the whole time. Either way, this episode (featuring a beer from Craft Heads Brewing Co.) can teach you some moves.
2021-05-1252 minBad Movies & BeerEpisode 26 - Lifeforce (1985)This week Cooper and Nolan explore LIFEFORCE, a failed 80s sci-fi/horror mashup from the director of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre.
Sexy vampires are invading the Earth, and just the thought of it is forcing the guys to ask some tough questions. Is there such thing as too much mouth? Is having your name yelled during sex REALLY a good thing? Do umbrellas look like d***s? And most importantly, would you betray the human race if a sexy vampire asked you to? The answers may surprise you...
This episode features a beer from the...2021-05-0550 minBad Movies & BeerEpisode 25 - Over The Top (1987)It's time to go to work this week, and in the spirit of Lincoln Hawk(s?), Cooper and Nolan weren't going to let anything stop them from making their 25th episode... not even increased Covid restrictions or the challenges of distance recording. The result was a lot like OVER THE TOP itself - it may not be pretty, but it's a good time. Creepy family vibes, scenery-chewing performances, nonsensical tournament formats... there's a lot to wrestle with in this movie, and the guys are taking it on with some help from Big Rig Brewery. With the magic combination of Can...2021-04-2854 minBad Movies & BeerEpisode 24 - Death Bed: The Bed That Eats (1977)This week Cooper and Nolan get cozy with a long-lost horror film of the 70s... DEATH BED: THE BED THAT EATS. A truly bizarre combination of arthouse film and the LOWEST budget horror, this movie will leave you with more questions than answers (questions like: WHY DO PEOPLE KEEP GETTING IN THE BED???). But it'll also make you laugh, which the guys did a LOT while enjoying a beer from All Or Nothing Brewhouse. Trust us, you don't want to sleep on this episode!
2021-04-2149 minBad Movies & BeerEpisode 23 - Total Recall (2012)It's mind over movie this week as Cooper and Nolan strap themselves in for 2012's TOTAL RECALL, a terrible remake of a beloved 90s classic. Colin Farrell instead of Arnold Schwarzenegger? A dull, bleak dystopian Earth instead of a bright, colourful Mars colony? Endless CGI instead of tangible sets & effects? Yep, it's as awful as you remember. The good news is, this episode (featuring a beer from Rorschach Brewing Co.) will erase that bad memory once and for all.
2021-04-1452 minBad Movies & BeerEpisode 22 - Jaws: The Revenge (1987)This week Cooper and Nolan take a bite out of JAWS: THE REVENGE, a movie that asks the question: What if sharks had superpowers? In all seriousness, it would take something more than human to make sense of this plot, and the guys are going to have to sink or swim as they try to figure out who thought this movie was a good idea and why. This audience-requested episode is a final look at the Jaws franchise and a first look at Something in the Water Brewing, so come on in - the water's fine.
2021-04-0750 minBad Movies & BeerEpisode 21 - FDR: American Badass! (2012)This week Cooper and Nolan are rolling out an example of what happens when shock comedy goes wrong with the ridiculous FDR: AMERICAN BADASS! If you're looking for an accurate, well-told recounting of the life and times of America's 32nd president, then boy have you come to the wrong place. Instead, the guys get increasingly drunk and attempt to make sense of a movie with Nazi werewolves, fireside freestyles, rocket-launcher equipped wheelchairs, and the ghost of Abraham Lincoln. This episode (featuring a beer from the Steel Wheel Brewery) is American history like you've never heard it before!
2021-03-3152 minBad Movies & BeerEpisode 20 - Catwoman (2004)This week Cooper and Nolan have their claws out for CATWOMAN, which might just be the worst superhero movie from an era of exceptionally bad superhero movies. Blame it on missed opportunity; what could have been a credible, action-packed story of female empowerment instead became a CGI-filled laughingstock. No wonder it brought home four Razzie Awards (including Worst Picture)! It's a truly terrible movie, so sit back and enjoy as the guys rip it to shreds - all while enjoying a beer from Bellwoods Brewery.
2021-03-2455 minBad Movies & BeerEpisode 19 - Night of the Creeps (1986)This week Cooper and Nolan swing by sorority row for some good old fashioned 80s horror with NIGHT OF THE CREEPS!
What's the only thing worse than zombies invading a college town? Zombies caused by alien slugs, which is just one of many strange choices in a movie that includes cryogenically frozen corpses, vanity license plates, and police issue flamethrowers.
The guys try to make sense of it all while enjoying a beer from Grain & Grit Beer Co., but sometimes you just have to sit back and say "thrill me".
2021-03-1753 minBad Movies & BeerEpisode 18 - Bloodsport (1988)Cooper and Nolan are back from their mid-season break and getting right back into the action with the Jean Claude Van Damme martial arts classic BLOODSPORT! Hear the guys break down Frank Dux's journey from humble beginnings as a terrible child actor to the absolute peak of the underground fighting world, complete with all of the montages, synth music, and action movie clichés you would expect from this 80s masterpiece. Step into the ring; this episode (featuring a beer from Blood Brothers Brewing) is the perfect way to kick off the second half of this season!
2021-03-1054 minBad Movies & BeerBONUS Episode - Motorpsycho Maniacs (2019)Cooper and Nolan weren't planning on recording during their break, but when the producers of MOTORPSYCHO MANIACS reached out and asked them to give it a look, they decided it was the perfect excuse for a BONUS EPISODE! It's pretty clear the guys had no idea what they were getting themselves into with this bizarre, low-budget homage to '70s exploitation films, but thanks to some liquid courage from Radical Road Brewing, they were able to handle all of the twists, turns, turtles, and sex terrorists (on wheels!) that this movie threw at them. Well, ALMOST all of it...2021-02-0358 minBad Movies & BeerEpisode 17 - Point Break (1991)This week the guys dive into a movie that might be their most controversial choice yet - the 1991 surfing crime masterpiece POINT BREAK! And before Cooper and Nolan head into THEIR mid-season break, they're going to try to figure out whether or not Keanu Reeves has any real-life football skills, which Swayze is the sexiest Swayze, and as usual - who the REAL hero of this movie is. They'll also be laughing their way through all of the memorable lines (and line deliveries) before paddling off in search of future episodes. Just like a 50-year storm, this episode (featuring a b...2020-12-3051 minBad Movies & BeerEpisode 16 - Silent Night, Deadly Night (1984)This week Cooper and Nolan are celebrating the holiday season with one of the most controversial Christmas movies ever - SILENT NIGHT DEADLY NIGHT! It's been called worthless, sleazy, exploitative, and downright offensive, but could it also be a groundbreaking portrayal of PTSD and its effect on developmental psychology? Probably not, but that won't stop us from trying to make the case! With bizarre performances, ridiculous plot twists, and enough holiday-themed deaths to fill even the biggest stocking, this episode (featuring a beer from Wychwood Brewery) is a real "slay" ride!
2020-12-2356 minBad Movies & BeerEpisode 15 - Conan the Destroyer (1984)This week Cooper and Nolan travel back to the days of high adventure when they discuss CONAN THE DESTROYER! It's Arnold Schwarzenegger's second outing as Conan, and he's got a lot to deal with - cannibals, wizards, André the Giant - not to mention the unenviable task of protecting a princess' virginity when NBA Hall of Famer Wilt Chamberlain is around. It's exactly the kind of low budget 80s nonsense the guys have come to expect from producer Dino De Laurentiis, and this episode (featuring a beer from Fairweather Brewing Co.) adds another layer to the legend.
2020-12-1644 minBad Movies & BeerEpisode 14 - Maximum Overdrive (1986)This week Cooper and Nolan kick things into high gear when they discuss MAXIMUM OVERDRIVE, the first (and only) film directed by Stephen King. It's the age old story of man vs. machine, when a passing comet somehow causes the Earth's technology to turn against its makers. Luckily Emilio Estevez is here to save the day with his heroic behavior (or at least lovemaking), and even more luckily there's plenty of cheesy effects and bad acting for the guys to make fun of. So come along for the ride, because this episode (featuring a beer from Flying Monkeys Craft Bre...2020-12-0952 minBad Movies & BeerEpisode 13 - Cocktail (1988)This week the guys are pouring one out for COCKTAIL, the 1988 Razzie award "winner" for Worst Picture! It's drama with a capital "D" when a young Tom Cruise moves to the big city and tries to make his bartending dreams come true. Will he find the fortune he's looking for? And more importantly, will he bed enough women to satisfy Nolan's expectations for this movie? Hear the answer for yourself in this week's episode, featuring a beer from Small Pony Barrel Works.
2020-12-0244 minBad Movies & BeerEpisode 12 - Tales From The Crypt: Demon Knight (1995)This week the guys get scared silly by the horror/comedy hybrid TALES FROM THE CRYPT: DEMON KNIGHT. In keeping with the tone of the TV show, it's got the kind of gory special effects, groan-worthy jokes, and gratuitous nudity that a whole generation stayed up late to see. It also inexplicably features multiple appearances by the "Wildcat" sound, which makes about as much sense as Billy Zane not becoming a massive star. This episode attempts to right that wrong, and features an appropriately-named beer from the Refined Fool Brewing Company.
2020-11-2546 minBad Movies & BeerEpisode 11 - Can't Stop The Music (1980)This week Cooper and Nolan man up to one of the all-time movie misfires - CAN'T STOP THE MUSIC. Billed as "The Movie Musical Event of the 80s", it was more like the dying gasps of the 70s. Either way, the performances, fashion, and wildly misplaced optimism will take you back to a time when anything seemed possible. Fame, fortune, platinum records... this episode (featuring a beer from Lost Craft) is every boy's dream!
2020-11-1852 minBad Movies & BeerEpisode 10 - The Dungeonmaster (1984)This week Cooper and Nolan try to make sense of a movie that doesn't know what it is - probably because of the SEVEN different writers & directors telling SEVEN different stories.
It's THE DUNGEONMASTER, and it features (in no particular order): 1980s workout classes, supercomputers, solid laser beams, Bull from Night Court, claymation, a New York City serial killer, mischievous dwarves, heavy metal band W.A.S.P., and a dune buggy chase in a post apocalyptic wasteland.
Sound confusing? It's also maybe not actually titled The Dungeonmaster.
Strap on your sentient wristbands, bec...2020-11-1154 minBad Movies & BeerEpisode 09 - Moonraker (1979)This week Cooper and Nolan sink their teeth into what may be the worst James Bond movie of all time - MOONRAKER!
007 in space!?!? Yes, instead of flying around the globe, this time (thanks to the popularity of Star Wars) James Bond will LITERALLY BE FLYING AROUND THE GLOBE.
Featuring a beer from Left Field Brewery, this highly classified episode has been given a license to kill... the James Bond franchise.
2020-11-0447 minBad Movies & BeerEpisode 08 - Friday the 13th Part VIII: Jason Takes Manhattan (1989)Halloween is just a few days away, and in honor of the recently released Scream Factory box set (and our eighth episode), Cooper and Nolan are taking a stab at FRIDAY THE 13TH PART VIII: JASON TAKES MANHATTAN.
Drift along with us as we watch Jason carve up a literal boatload of teenage stereotypes and try to figure out what all of the heavy symbolism means (or if any of this is actually happening).
Featuring a beer from Longslice Brewery, this episode might just knock your socks off... or your head.
2020-10-2856 minBad Movies & BeerEpisode 07 - Face/Off (1997)Cooper and Nolan have their work cut out for them this week as they try to convince the world that FACE/OFF is a bad movie (despite being a massive hit).
But thanks to the ridiculous plot, John Woo clichés, and unhinged glory of peak Nic Cage, they might just have a case!
Good or bad, Archer or Troy, this episode (featuring a beer from Wellington Brewery) is a winner no matter whose side you're on.
2020-10-2153 minBad Movies & BeerEpisode 06 - Killer Klowns From Outer Space (1988)This week the guys take a trip back to Nolan's childhood when they say hello to KILLER KLOWNS FROM OUTER SPACE.
Questions abound, like is this movie more funny/scary or scary/funny? Was it possible to be considered a perv in the 80s? And how had Cooper never seen this before???
This episode features a beer from Amsterdam Brewery and the answers to only some of these questions, because if a movie's tagline is "It's Crazy!", how much sense is it supposed to make?
2020-10-1440 minBad Movies & BeerEpisode 05 - Body of Evidence (1993)This week things get sexy (and awkward!) when Cooper and Nolan take a long, hard look at BODY OF EVIDENCE.
The guys break down all the twists and turns of this erotic thriller while getting creeped out by Willem Dafoe, questioning the underwear choices available in the early 90s, and desperately trying not to share any personal stories.
Featuring a hilariously-repurposed beer from Great Lakes Brewery, this episode is one you won't be able to resist.
2020-10-0752 minBad Movies & BeerEpisode 04 - Spookies (1986)After last week's mess of an episode Cooper and Nolan try to sort out SPOOKIES, a horror movie where the only thing scary is how confusing it is.
The guys cover the film's original script ("A monster on every page!"), its troubled production, and all of the ridiculous characters that somehow made it into the final film (Cat Hook! The Muck Men! Rich and his puppet Mookie!).
Featuring a beer by the Caledon Hills Brewing Company, this episode will provide everything you need - just like Duke.
2020-09-3057 minBad Movies & BeerEpisode 03 - Swamp Thing (1982)A very drunk and very sleepy Cooper and Nolan try to wade through the mess that is Wes Craven's SWAMP THING.
Recorded in Montreal, Quebec pre-Covid, this episode features a beer from the Whitewater Brewing Company after MANY previous beers at McLean's Pub.
It's our worst episode yet, but somehow the movie is even worse.
2020-09-2353 minBad Movies & BeerEpisode 02 - Predator 2 (1990)After last week's Predator argument, Cooper and Nolan are back to discuss the terrible sequel, PREDATOR 2!
The guys tee it high and let it fly on topics like Danny Glover's head (it's huge), where Voodoo comes from (we don't know), and which version of Bill Paxton is the best version (sleazy).
This episode features a beer from Collective Arts Brewing, and thank goodness it's 8% ABV because this movie is one ugly motherf***er.
2020-09-1556 minBad Movies & BeerEpisode 01 - Commando (1985)Cooper and Nolan start their quest to find the best bad movies with the 1985 Arnold Schwarzenegger masterpiece COMMANDO.
Remember when I promised there were good movie roles for women in the 80s? I LIED.
This episode features two beers from Steam Whistle Brewing. If you can't figure out why, you need to watch this movie RIGHT NOW.
