10/07/22 • 59 min
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 of.
It's a complete mess of a movie, but one that the guys were THRILLED to receive as an audience request. So get ready to join the team; this episode (featuring a beer from Double Trouble Brewing Co.) is one that doesn't play by the rules!

Previous Episode

Episode 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.
Next Episode

Episode 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 get ready for a spring break you'll never forget; this episode (featuring a beer from Black Bellows Brewing Co.) is one nightmare you won't want to wake up from!
