It’s been way too long since we’ve reviewed a kung-fu movie and Dave picked a modern classic. Kung Fu Hustle is an absurd film in the most wonderful way.
One of our shortest episodes packs in a lot of laughs in a universally adored film. Yes EVEN Kathleen likes this one.
Kathleen’s initial description of this evenings first beer is completely incorrect. Cheer Team does NOT taste like tar. Stop it you big cry baby.
Pete’s a prick and didn’t bring anyone a sticker from his beer adventures.
WE LOVE YOU FREDDY MERCURY!
Beer of the evening.
Cheer Team – Three Floyd’s Brewing, Munster, Indiana
It’s that time of year again…the one month of the year when the cast stops insulting the subpar works of Hollywood and instead they say nice things about the passion projects of up and coming filmmakers! Independent Movie Month!
This time, Pete brings us two proper horror films.
We start with Colm Donston’s Happy Campers. A classic riff on camp councilors that get picked off one by one by a psychotic killer. Watch it free on YouTube!
Next, the crew reviews Joe DeMuro’s Tales of Dracula. Get your own copy of Tales of Dracula from Amazon. Only $6.98! Support local art!
Oh boy do we have some problems. Our first in-person recording since the world ended and it’s like we forgot how to set up the equipment. The audio, much like Pete’s jokes, is dodgy at best. Please forgive us but you get what you pay for.
Grizzly is a bonkers Jaws rip-off that wasn’t as horrible as you might think it would be. My guess is that Pete’s entertaining 6-minute synopsis may have softened the casts view.
The cast throws up a little in their collective mouths after reminiscing about our poor choices of college beers. “Anything Ice. blech” – Troy
Dave introduces the world to the game, “Fizz-Ball” and Pete introduces the world to the game, “Six Degrees to Godzilla.”
Kathleen is starting a Kickstarter to bring back the old-timey phrase, “Up Yours!”
Question of the show: Is Dave a cannibal? If not than how does he know what people taste like?
The second beer we sampled gave the entire cast a case of unexpected sound effects.
Featured Beers: – In lieu of having Schlitz we tried Stroh’s. – Sour Monkey from Victory Brewing (ooh!)
6-Pack Rating: Dave – 1 Troy – 3 Kathleen – 3 Pete – 2
Join the Good Beer Bad Movie Night podcast as we slog through Johnny Mnemonic, Dave’s horrible birthday pick! On a somewhat related note, Dave may no longer be allowed to choose movies.
Highlights from Episode 47
This movie may be the final evidence that Dave in fact hates the rest of the cast.
Johnny Mnemonic may be the best Keanu Reeves performance since Bram Stoker’s Dracula. (WE LOVE YOU, KEANU!)
Accurate predictions of 2021 from a movie released in 1995:
People wearing masks because of a pandemic
Over proliferation of technology affecting people psychologically, yet we can’t do without it.
Corporations run everything
Keanu Reeves, Henry Rollins and Ice T are still awesome
Not so accurate predictions:
Using virtual reality goggles and haptic gloves to navigate the internet like Tron (though Dave’s still holding out hope)
We’ll still be using pay phones, VCRs, and calling cards
Cybernetically enhanced preachers moonlighting as contract killers
Keanu has a sophisticated neural implant that holds up to 320GB of data. Today a USB flash drive of comparable size would cost about $15 to $30.
Join the gang for a film filled with blood fountains and gratuitous 80s references.
Thanks to Superfan Tim Lee for suggesting this one.
You know them and you love them but we finally introduce two NEW members of the GBBMN team, Mitch and Murry! They certainly had a lot to say about this movie.
Our friend Tim Minneci of the Dig Me Out Podcast helped us out with a musical game. If you love hair bands make sure to go check out his podcast. It ROCKS!
Join the GBBMN team for dumb ass jokes and binge drinking at BEERFEST!
Send us suggestions for American Drinking Songs. The cast is still somewhat ashamed that they could not come up with better examples than “Sweet Caroline” and “Piano Man”. I mean seriously…
Troy treats us to the most annoying 6-minute penalty of all time
Pete schools the crew on skunky German bier lore
Dave ruminates on his life choices as we discuss drinking games.
Kathleen continues to be annoyed that we’re foisting this upon her each month
