It’s Troy’s Birthday! To “celebrate” this momentous occasion, he has exposed all our brains to Walter Hill’s 1984 Rock & Roll Fable flop, Streets of Fire.
Grease up your hair and slap on some bracers as we travel to another place and another time. A time where everyone speaks tough guy and where motorcycles are one tiny spark away from erupting into a ball of fire. A time where Troy can’t shut up about Jim Steinman music, and how much he loves it. A time of weird ass “whoosh-y” transitions between scenes.
Troy brings us something different for his birthday brews, as one of those beers is no beer at all! He dares to bring a CIDER to a BEER podcast. Pantywaist.
For our “Podcast Birthday Month”, we watch Attack of the Mushroom People, featuring the least attacking mushroom people you’ve ever seen. Honestly, this movie should have been called “Stranded on an Island with the Mushroom Pacifists”. Or, as Kathleen suggested, “The Island of Mushrooms and Nothing Actually Happens”.
Listen as Dave and Pete try to convince Kathleen and Troy that this is actually a good movie!
Listen to Dave try to make fungus puns in the background, which are totally ignored!
Charlie and Nate from Give Me Back My Action and Horror Movies join us. Pete and Troy have been moonlighting over on their podcast and we finally got them on our show. Six podcast hosts = chaos. Enjoy.
We got a fun Millie report from Kathleen. She’s always good for a great laugh.
I need everyone to find your best Twister movie memes and start sending them to Troy. It’s a trigger for him and since I doubt he will read this it’ll be a great joke. Troy HATES Twister and about 20 minutes into the recording he bonks his computer when Dave mention the film causing Troy’s recording to stop. We got it back up and running but there’s a hard cut.
Charlie visited Katbird’s Wine and Gourmet Shoppe in Abington, Va to pick up his beer since Pete is a dumbass. If you’re in the area check them out.
Nate has been described as having boarder collie energy. You be the judge.
Featured beer: I have to give Charlie credit for coining the phrase, “Not all the movies are bad and not every beer is good.” This month is a great example of how true a statement can be. Nate hated one of my most favorite beers ever which just proves “you like what you like” and I’m not here to tell you that you’re wrong.
Six pack rating: Dave – 3 Kathleen – 3 Troy – 3 Pete – 4 Charlie – 1 Nate – 2

Good Beer Bad Movie Night
EP075 - Speed 2 (1997) with Give Me Back My Action Movies
It’s July and we dive into an amazing independent film written and directed by Pierce Berolzheimer; CRABS! This is a huge recommend so go buy yourself a copy.
This episode descended into madness rather quickly at the end. Clearly it’s the beer’s fault.
Super Fan Jen was joining us from out of town and off mic, except when she wanted to participate which the mic never really caught well enough to hear her comments. Thanks, Jen, for making this one of the most difficult episodes to edit. You’re on the list.
This month, GBBMN swapped movies with Steven and Leo over at Spoils of Horror podcast. Kathleen was terrified that I had selected something for SoH to watch and the return movie was revenge for giving them such a stinker. Not so. It was an even exchange with neither of us having seen the selection.
Pete starts the night out with a Six Minute Synopsis by getting almost everyone’s name incorrect. He still gets it done in the time allotted but is that really a victory?
Kathleen and Troy teamed up and came up with an amazing way to fix the film. Let us know what you think.
Snorting tequila is not a recommended way to get your drink on.
Next month, Steven and Leo over at Spoils of Horror have agreed to swap movies with us. They selected They’re Watching for us and I tossed the J-Horror gem Bloody Muscle Body Builder in Hell. We’ll see if they ever speak to me again. Both films are on Tubi in case you want to play along at home.
Kathleen has decided to celebrate her half-birthday by finally giving into Troy’s constant nagging to watch Quigley Down Under. As usual, he had a vague sense of once really liking this movie, once upon a time. Mind like a steel trap, our Troy.
It turns out to be a pretty damn good western that takes place in Australia with surprisingly few actual Australians in the cast. (Except for the Aborigines, who do almost no talking)
Plus, we have a visit from a secret guest! Here’s a hint. How can we get a visit from a surprise guest, but everyone on the episode is a member of the Good Beer Bad Movie Night podcast? Hmmm?
For Dave’s stupid birthday he dug deep into his childhood to remind us all that The Beastmaster still exists, and your lives are meaningless without it. This time we are joined by the incomparable Millie, who voices her unflattering opinion of one of Dave’s childhood favorites.
We sat down with Jordan McLaughlin; the creator of the amazing card game Don’t Get Stabbed. We talk about how he got started, where he’s going and of course what kind of beer he likes. We employed super-fan James to help us talk nerd with Jordan.
Pete’s wife, Jodi, used her powers of persuasion to get the cast to watch this turd. While not the worst thing we’ve every reviewed, Jodi is no longer allowed to pick movies, no matter how sick she is.
This is two shows in a row that Pete has FAILED the Six Minute Synapses time limit. He is worthless and weak. Be better, dummy.
Troy has asked the listeners to send the cast beer suggestions. If you have a favorite we will do our best to find it. Getting small craft selections can prove impossible but give us what you got and we will try our very best.
If you want to learn more about the atrocities of King Leopold in the Congo HERE it is in a nutshell. Not a happy video.
Pete got the term Free Rise Fermentation completely wrong. It has nothing to do with wild yeast fermentation but rather allowing the to warm up gradually through the natural exothermic chemical reaction instead of artificially increasing the temperature of the wert to encourage the yeast to begin fermentation. Tune in next month for more of quality GBBMN Edu-tainment.
He doesn’t know it yet but when we finally set up the GBBMN Patreon our highest tier is going to be a video of Troy and his bow legs, high stepping in his high school marching band.
Pete, again, fails to comprehend how time works and forgot that he and Troy were already on the live stream of the movie Crabs! Head over to YouTube for a review of this amazing indie movie.
Congratulations to our friends Dan and Brennon over at the Corrupted Youth Podcast for hitting six years. Keep it coming guys. I’ll see you at the summer conventions.
