20 Years, 4 Beers

Just like "he who must not be named," we sometimes wait a while to show up, but when we do, we come back with a vengeance! You're not the same, you've changed. In this new episode we jump back into the films of 2005 and rewatch the "children's" classic "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire." We feature a fun guest in this one, and along with some new bee...

1995 was a launching pad of a year for Brad Pitt, as evidenced by our last two films. First it was the classic "Se7en," and then an Oscar nominated turn in the Uber weird Terry Gilliam directed "12 Monkeys." While we may not have liked the film nearly as much as either of us remembered, 1995 will be remembered as a coming out party for Pitt. Along with some new beers, and trivi...

Another week, another episode NOT from 20 years ago! That's how we roll here on 20/4 baby! On this week's episode we take a look back at the 30th anniversary of another all-time classic film from our youth (no bias to see here folks), and rewatch David Fincher's masterpiece "Se7en." Not for the faint of heart, the film holds up extremely well and is a prime example of 90&a...

Here we come with banger after banger from the 90's, and after our rewatch of "Heat" we follow it up with a top-10 favorite film for at least one of us in Ron Howard's "Apollo 13." This isn't even an if you know you know type film, this is one of those movies that you NEED to know about. Apollo 13 represents what is great and truly magical about filmmaking. Needl...

We have finally made it to one of our favorite films of all-time... if "Seven" or "Fight Club" are movies for film bros, then 1995's "Heat" is a movie for film buffs.  This film had more than just a little influence on our love of films, especially heist thrillers, and director Michael Mann deserves all of the love for it. Once again we take a longer look back th...

Welcome back to 20 Years 4 Beers!  After a (hopefully) brief hiatus from editing we have come back strong with another film from further back than 20 years and we discuss 1990's mafia classic, "Goodfellas." What can you say about Martin Scorsese's film that hasn't been said before? Well perhaps that at least one of us has some major issues with the film as a whole... tease...

In 2025 we will be taking some additional further looks back into films from beyond 20 years, because the year 2005 was, to put it plainly, a garbage year of films... so what better way to enjoy our time together than travelling 35 years back to the Best Picture winning epic "Dances With Wolves." We enjoy at least four new beers, have some fun trivia, and overall just gush on a film that...

Say what you will about this movie, after 20 years it is pretty amazing that we are talking about a black and white period piece about the McCarthy era and are unfortunately able to find modern day parallels. In 2005's Oscar Nominated "Good Night and Good Luck," we see these parallels take place, though one of us saw them more than the other...meaning it is safe to say, that one of...

Bye Bye sub-par movies of 2004, hello somehow even worse movies of 2005!!! We are actually excited to start a new season and a new year of films, and we begin our journey back to 2004 with an epic masterpiece of a film, that almost no one saw, in Ridley Scott's "Kingdom of Heaven: Director's Cut." A new year also brings a new set of older films, some new segments, and a lot of...

Last episode we came to the end of our rewatches from 2004, and as is now tradition, we offer up our best and worst from the year that was in our Awards Special. In this final '04 episode we enjoy one final beer and have a few more laughs and while 2004 was a meh year for film, it was a pretty great year for beer and another great year recording together. We hope you enjoyed the look back, an...

Well, well, well... here we are at another end to another year of looking back at least 20 years! In this episode we take a look back at the Best Picture winning film from 2004, Clint Eastwood's "Million Dollar Baby." Along with some special guests, we enjoy four new beers, one old ass classic beer, recap A LOT of recent watches, and offer up some fun trivia and random facts. We thi...

What better time to release a Christmas episode than Valentine's Day??!! In this episode we discover the true meaning of Christmas, and that is that Tim just does not have the Christmas spirit like the rest of us ;) Actually, here we sit and discuss the now annual classic Christmas film, "The Polar Express" in all of it's faults and delights. Along with that we talk about our l...

"WE ARE NOT DRINKING ANY F*&KING MERLOT" still remains a line Steve quotes at least once a week after two decades, which is just one way this film has found a way to still be relevant today. In the newest episode we sit and discuss a topic that Tim knows nothing about...movies... actually wine, and rewatch 2004's indie hit, "Sideways." Along with some fun new trivia, f...

As we begin our push to the end of the films of 2004, we start with the Best Actor winning biopic about an all0time great musician, with "Ray." The film features an iconic performance by Jamie Foxx, portraying the icionic performer Ray Charles.  In this episode we talk about how the film does, or does not, hold up, discuss some new beers and have some fun trivia - including a favorite tr...

In this new episode, we get to do something that we absolutely LOVE on 20/4, and that is watch a movie with our kids for this little hobby of ours. Along with the kiddos, we sit down and rewatch the Pixar classic from 20 years ago, "The Incredibles." Combined with the rewatch, we enjoy some new beers, fun trivia and lots of laughs and we think you will enjoy it!  Find us on the web at 20...

In this Happy Hour we discuss another film from the South Park creators, and incredibly it is a film about marionettes fighting terrorists... what else can be said about "Team America World Police?" Along with some new trivia, four new beers, and one incredibly awful best selling beer, we hope you have fun listening. Find us on the web at 20years4beers.com for more info! Support the show

Another surprise hit from 20 years ago, and another zombie flick as well... we just keep you guessing!  Two decades ago we were graced with Edgar Wright's hilarious homage to the classic zombie movies of the 70's in "Shaun of the Dead," and in this episode we talk about Tim's first watch of it. Inspired by the country of origin we also feature beers from across the pond ex...

Another day, another podcast episode on a film adaptation of a prison drama written by Stephen King and directed by Frank Darabont to critical and fan praise! We cover our second such film this year with 1999's "The Green Mile." Along with some new beers, new trivia (from one of us) and some tears over a mouse, we think you will enjoy the episode! Thank you for your support and find...

In what amount to be our fourth anniversary episode, we chose to rewatch a movie that we have talked about on as many previous episodes as we could find an excuse for, in 1999's "Magnolia." If you are a fan of us not liking a film, or really any part of a film, then this episode may not be for you!  However, if you are a fan of the film, some fun trivia, beers, and all around good t...

We sit down after The Village and watch another movie over another beer, and on this Happy Hour we rewatch the 2004 remake of an all0time classic, "Dawn of the Dead."  Remembered as the movie that launched Zack Snyder's career, we remember it more as the one where he proves slow motion is not a requirement! Along with that realization, we enjoy new beers, new trivia and have some fu...

We journey back into the mind of the late 90's and early 2000's hitmaker M. Night Shyamalan, and cover our third film of his, 2004's "The Village." No real theme beers made their way to the top, but along with 4 new beers, A LOT of trivia questions and even more laughs, we hope you enjoy it.  Find us online at 20years4beers.com, and the metaverse. Make sure to let us know...

107 episodes? Don't act like you're not impressed! In this episode we rewatch and quote through one of our favorite comedies and one of the most quotable films of all-time in 2004's "Anchorman." Somehow the Ron Burgandy character turns 20 this year and along with other classic comedy performances, the movie holds up pretty well after all that time. We hope you enjoy it and...

20 years ago, there was no one who would've guessed that people in the future would be discussing this film, let alone even remember it. Yet, here we are rewatching and discussing one of our favorite film going experiences in 2004's cult classic, "Napoleon Dynamite." We have four new beers, lots of laughs quoting along with the movie, and even find some fun trivia to try to stu...

What more can be said about the #1 film of all-time (according to IMDB)? Well we give it a shot after our rewatch of Tim's favorite film ever, in the modern masterpiece, Frank Darabont's "The Shawshank Redemption." We discuss our love for the film, the amazing performances, and Oscar failure, new beers and trivia and much more!  We hope you like it and thank you for listening F...

What a year of film Hollywood gave us in 1994. Along with all of the other films we have talked about so far, and most recently Pulp Fiction, we get the Best Picture winner of that year in the Robert Zemekis masterpiece, "Forrest Gump." In this episode we discuss some all-time great performances, an all-time great soundtrack, some new beers and trivia, and really what amounted to be an a...
