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 a beer from the Old Flame Brewing Co.) is one you'll want to sing about.

Episode 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 Company) is one for all seasons!
Next Episode

Episode 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 a beer from Henderson Brewing Co.) is carrying a full shipment of good times!
