20 Years, 4 Beers

"Make it Suntory Time" in this new episode of 20 Years, 4 Beers and join us as we look back to a film that we have very different views on, 2003's "Lost in Translation." Unfortunately for some, we do not argue our way through it, but we definitely have differing views on Sofia Coppola's Oscar winning film, but it is all in good fun. Along with some back and forth, we...

Yo Ho, Yo Ho A Pirates Life For Me!!! Ahoy Matey's, and welcome to a brand-new episode on the surprise franchise starting film of 2003, "Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl."  In this episode we discuss four brand new beers, cover some fun trivia, and of course talk about the wonder that was Johnny Depp as Captain Jack Sparrow. We hope you enjoy it as much as we d...

Welcome one and all to another special 30 year look back at one of our favorite comedies, 1993's "Dazed and Confused."  You may notice the good old explicit content warning, and there is just nothing we could do on that one considering our subject film so be forewarned that there is some extra salty language in this one. Along with the fun look back, we have some new beers, and fun...

Because we simply would not have enough time to discuss it mid-episode, we decided to release a separate episode just on our review of the modern classic, Christopher Nolan's "Oppenheimer."  No segments, just us rambling and loving on this film. Be warned - there are spoilers ahead so if you have not seen it or care to go in to watching it blind, DO NOT LISTEN!!! Otherwise we wanted...

You have heard us discuss it many times in the past, and we finally decided to cover it for our special 75th episode and also the first installment of 30 Years, 4 Beers...1993's Spielberg classic, "Jurassic Park." What a great time we had talking about our memories of the film, the film itself (both good and not as good), some delicious beers, and fun trivia.  This one holds a speci...

Sometimes you have to rewatch a movie that no one has heard of...and we are happy to do so in the case of 2003's absolutely wonderful indie drama "Whale Rider."   A vastly different movie than our lead-in, but one that is as memorable two decades later. Along with a few new beers, some fun trivia, and more big words from Tim, we think you will enjoy this Happy Hour episode. Thanks f...

It took 73 episodes, but we finally covered a zombie flick!  In our latest episode we discuss a ground breaking film in the genre in 2003's "28 Days Later."  What a crazy 20 years it has been since we had a memorable first watch, and we love talking about it two decades later.  Along with 4 new beers, some good trivia and fun facts, we think you will enjoy listening almost as much a...

Just keep swimming, just keep swimming! On our newest episode we sit down and once again discuss a "kids" movie as adults, and surprise-surprise, rave about the Disney/Pixar's classic, "Finding Nemo."  What more can someone say about the film?

We are back after a short editing break, and happy to bring another happy hour to you! In this new episode we discuss a little known, but somewhat popular indie suspense film in 2003's "Phone Booth."  We sit and discuss 5 new beers, some terrific performances, and have some overall kinda foul mouthed fun (fair warning lol)! Thanks so much for listening and for finding us on your fav...

Our first sequel has come upon us and given the course of the movie industry over the last 20 years it makes sense that it is a superhero genre film. In this new episode we rewatch 2003's "X2: X-Men United," enjoy 5 new beers, have some fun trivia options, and have a lot of laughs while discussing what has become one of our favorite superhero films. Find us on Twitter @years_beers,...

Thank you for listening, and for your support. Find us on Twitter @years_beers or...

Question: Who is in the mood for a feel good depression era drama about horse racing?   Answer: Should be all of us! In our newest episode we discuss 2003's best picture nominated crowd-pleasing film, "Seabiscuit." Combine that with some fantastic trivia and some of our absolute favorite reactions to beers, and we think you will enjoy listening almost as much as we enjoyed recording...

In this episode, we sit down for some more beer and movie talk to discuss 2003's indie comedy/musical, "A Mighty Wind," from the genius creators of some of our favorite mockumentary classics. This happy hour is even more fun because we get to talk about music as well as films and beer. Though we may not have both loved this film as a comedy, anything that allows us the chance to tal...

Don't bring your Tom Cruise hate here, cause we aren't having it! In our newest episode we talk about 2003's epic Civil War era film, "The Last Samurai," and give all of the love to Mr. Big Budget himself, Cruise.  Along with five new beers, and some last minute trivia we have a ton of fun discussing this film.  If you haven't watched it, go find it, and if it's...

Goooooooaaaaaalllll!!! In our first Happy Hour episode we take a look back at another indie darling comedy a la 2002's "My Big Fat Greek Wedding," and discuss the delightful soccer/futball film "Bend It Like Beckham."  Add to our discussion some fun trivia, and new beers and we think you will enjoy it almost as much as we did recording it. Thanks for taking the time to lis...

Out with old of 2002 films, and in with the OLD of 2003!!!  See what I did there? We begin our journey of rewatching the films of 2003 with something old in the classic college comedy "Old School."  Who knew we would find ourselves talking about how much this has not only held up, but actually could be one of the best comedies of the era.  Add to it 5 new beers, including a Canadian favo...

We find ourselves at the end of the road in terms of our journey into the movies of 2002. After rewatching over 25 of that year's "best" movies, and mostly enjoying well over 100 beers, we sit and discuss our favorites from the year, and pick our version of the Oscars - The Viceni-Reels...it'll make sense when you listen. Thank you thank you thank you all for listening, for fin...

Our final full episode on the films of 2002 means that as usual we rewatch and discuss the Best Picture winner from that year, meaning we get to talk about one of our favorite films and musicals, "Chicago." With a few guests, lots of laughs, great beers, this was an extremely fun way to close out our season and our 2022, and we hope you enjoy it as well. Thank you for listening and find...

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to you all! We celebrate by releasing our annual Christmas episode, and while 2002 may not have had some classic holiday movies, it did have "Catch Me If You Can," which we still consider a Christmas movie.  Along with some new beers, wonderful trivia and a lot of laughs, we enjoy our rewatch of this somewhat forgotten Spielberg gem. Thanks for taking t...

We are nearing the end of our 2002 movies list, and of course we have to cover one of our favorites, not only of that year but in general, "The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers."  The continuation of the Middle-Earth saga is not exactly a short one, so we enjoy some extra beers along the way including a truly unique Strange Brew, feature some fun trivia and have a lot of laughs along th...

Our last happy hour, or last call if you will, from November is on 2002's Oscar favorite, "The Pianist."  Yet another example of us covering a film that we initially did not want to, and being reminded why we do this in the first place. Along with some new beers and new insights, we discuss what may well be a top 5 film in its genre once the dust settles in the end. Find us on Twitt...

In our first of two Happy Hour episodes from November, we talk about a very Paul Thomas Anderson style love story, meant in the nicest way possible, in 2002's "Punch- Drunk Love." Still in front of a live studio audience we enjoy some new beers, a great movie, Adam Sandler as an actor, and have lots of laughs so we hope you enjoy it as much as we did. Find us on Twitter @years_beers...
