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
Join the hep cats of GBBMN as we groove to this far out movie! Don’t listen to what the squares say, it’s totally dynamite!
Highlights of the episode:
Find out that Troy doesn’t know what state Baltimore is located in…moron!
Learn all about the God-awful snacking habits of Pete’s extended family. (now THAT’S horror!)
Just watch this video of Piccolo Pupa singing the song “Skateboard”. That kind of gives you an idea of what you’re in for with this movie. Sorry. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fRpEVqP6U7k
Discover why Pete wants to bring a flashlight into the bathroom next time he pees!
Oh yeah, and we watch the movie that killed the Beach Blanket Bingo franchise!
This month the “fans” got to select a film for our viewing displeasure. Don’t feel too bad though, all of the selections were turds. This one probably let us down the most.
Don’t miss the outtakes for something special.
Dave does a great Karen Carpenter.
Who knew the a Jelly Bean Martini could make Kathleen so freaking mad?
It’s the most shocking episode of GBBMN ever, as the crew review not one. Not TWO! BUT THREE short films for our Independence Month show…which all culminates in a surprising confession from Kathleen.
Highlights from Episode 39
The first short we discuss, a cartoon made by friend of the show Mark Bailey, is called It Came From The East River It is a multiple award winner. Not a phrase you will usually associate with films reviewed by GBBMN.
The next short, CandyLand, is also by a friend of the show, this time a brother of the son of a cousin of Pete (or something like that) made a student film that actually turned out pretty damned good.
You know, as much as we bitch about these polls, you would think that we’d stop making them. But NOPE! Here we are again. Polling you…our sadistic audience…to choose our next form of torture. And this time? We’re being tortured by SUPERHEROES!
