20 Years, 4 Beers

After a small delay we are back, and covering a favorite for each of us, the somewhat forgotten "Road to Perdition."  Time has been very kind to this movie, and it seems to just get better and better as it ages. In this episode we discuss the movie, our love of Tom Hanks and Paul Newman, have some laughs, and along with four new beers we have one of our strangest brews yet! Thank you for...

Keeping up with the recent theme of 25 Years, 4 Beers, we present you with our Happy Hour episode from 1997 where we discuss an arguably classic sci-fi film, "The Fifth Element."  Of course we discuss some new beers, try to stump each other in trivia, and overall have a great time talking about a favorite film for the both of us. As always, thank you so much for taking the time to listen...

We are changing things up a bit on 20/4, and with our newest episode we are diving a little further back into the time capsule to cover one of our all-time favorite films...period. On this special episode of 25 Years, 4 Beers, we rewatch, discuss, and fawn all over 1997's "L.A. Confidential."  Couple that with 6 beers, including a new Strange Brew, and we had a great time recording...

Once again, we find ourselves in a situation where two grown men are watching a "kids" movie, having some beers, and discussing our feelings about it...and you know what?  We are here for it! 2002's "Lilo & Stitch" has become a Disney fan favorite, yet somehow one of us had not yet seen it. Take a listen to hear our reactions to a first, as well as repeat watch. Combin...

Safe to say that this movie was high on our excitement list for this year, and thankfully 2002's "Minority Report" did not disappoint.  Another classic from Steven Spielberg, and frankly a favorite of ours.  In this episode we discuss our love of the film, have four new beers, and have another long trivia section...because why not?! Thanks for taking the time to listen and for your...

Cheers to another Happy Hour! On this newest happy hour episode, we venture back into the mind of Christopher Nolan with 2002's thriller "Insomnia."  Along with 5 new beers (1 new style of beer that needs to go away as fast as it arrived), we have fun discussing the terrific performances, our enjoyment of all things Nolan, and feature a lot of trivia fun! Thanks for taking time to l...

Wow 2002 really was a simpler time for us all...Pre-smart phone's, no social media ruining our lives, and all of us knew that Matt Damon could never be an action star. Until "The Bourne Identity" came along and showed us all how wrong we were. Take a listen to our newest episode where we discuss the film, four good beers, one epically bad beer, and have some laughs along the way. Th...

Sometimes you need a good ol fashoined pallet cleanse of a movie that just makes you feel good...and in this case we went with 2002's baseball centered "The Rookie."  Nothing amazing or insightful about it, just exactly what you need at the start of a baseball season honestly. Sit back and relax with us as we enjoy 4 new beers, and enjoy a great film for the whole family. Thanks for...

While not a true "Happy Hour" episode, we still sit down after watching Attack of the Clones for a rare pallet cleansing war film. 2002's Vietnam War film, "We Were Soldiers" is a great addition to the war film pantheon, and one we enjoy discussing here. along with 4 new beers to enjoy. Thank you for listening and for your support! Find us on Twitter @years_beers or head t...

If you are a fan of us loving on movies and thinking that the subject film is a classic...then perhaps this episode is not for you. But hey, we have some laughs, great beers and fun trivia along the way. However, if you are a fan of the two of us ranting about a terrible movie that makes us wish for any other film that we have watched so far instead of it, and rants about the overrated nature of a...

In our newest Happy Hour episode, we sit and discuss a quirky little comedy starring the great Jack Nicholson, 2002's "About Schmidt."  Though we may not have loved it, we are glad to have watched it again and been able to talk about it here, along with some new beers this is another great addition to the 20/4 catalog. Thanks for listening, find us on Twitter @years_beers or head to...

In our newest episode we get to finally discuss everyone's favorite floppy haired (prior to this) bumbling Brit - Hugh Grant!  Along with five new beers, we sit down and enjoy 2002's delightful comedy, "About a Boy." Full disclosure, this is one of our favorite films and we are so happy that you are taking the time to listen to the episode. Find us on Twitter @years_beers and a...

Here we are at the momentous 36th episode of 20 Years, 4 Beers!  I mean, not really momentous but super fun to sit and discuss 2002's classic David Fincher thriller "Panic Room."  Technically a happy hour episode, but arguably the film we both wanted to watch together this month. Either way, we enjoy talking about it, appreciate another beer and overall have a good happy hour. Thank...

Opa! On this episode we sit down and rewatch the sleeper hit of 2002, "My Big Fat Greek Wedding."  Along with 4 new beers, including our first Strange Brew in a long time, we discuss how much we love this film and how much the humor has stood the test of the last 20 years. Find us on Twitter @years_beers or head to 20years4beers.com for more info.  Thanks for taking the time to listen an...

As Happy Hour episodes go...it's not much happier than this. We sit down after our "Spider-Man" episode and just riff on one of our favorite low-brow comedies of all-time. Add in another beer, and our Happy Hour is a ton of fun meow. Thanks for taking the time to listen, and for following us on Twitter @years_beers or heading to 20years4beers.com for more information. Support the sh...

Here we go into our new season and new year of movies to look back on!  In our first episode covering films from 2002, we go big with the year's biggest grossing film, "Spider-Man." While we may have watched X-Men early on in our podcast, both of us feel that this is the true start of the MCU we know and love today. Watching along with four "neighborhood" beers, we enjoy a...

Here we are! We have finally arrived at the moment we have all been waiting for...the end of the year awards special!  We sit down and take a look back at the beers, the movies, the laughs, and even a tear or two, and hand out our best and worst awards. Please enjoy and thank you all so much for supporting us and for taking time out of your days to listen to our little hobby.  Find more informatio...

For our final full movie/beer podcast of the 2021 year, we sit down to discuss the 2001 Best Picture winner, "A Beautiful Mind."  While both of us agree that there is one clear Oscar winner from this film, neither of us believe that to be the movie itself. Though to be fair, it was better than both of us remember, and really when you are enjoying four beers along the way can it really be...

In our newest Happy-Hour episode we discuss 2001's very British Best Picture nominee, "Gosford Park." Arguably this movie began (or accelerated) the love of all things British upper class, especially with its combination of Upstairs/Downstairs drama and addition of a murder mystery, which is why it took home the Oscar for Best Original Screenplay. We sit down and discuss all these t...

It seems fitting that our longest movie would also lead to our longest episode...no need to go "hobbit-sized" on it right - am I right?! On our newest episode we discuss 2001's Fantasy classic "The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring," have four brand new, very delicious beers and lots of laughs along the way.  We had a lot of fun recording this one and hope you...

Who can talk for almost an hour about a somewhat obscure drama from two decades ago that most of you have not seen? Why the Meendering Brothers after a few drinks that's who! On our newest happy hour episode, we have a few more drinks, some laughs, and even a few tears as we talk about a favorite film for one of us, "Life as a House."  We wax poetic on Kevin Kline and even offer up...

Welcome back to 20 Years, 4 Beers! Thanks for listening and for downloading our episodes. On this episode we enjoy five new beers from local MN breweries, including a new one for us, and discuss 2001's Ridley Scott directed "Black Hawk Down." Though it might not be a classic, it certainly holds up in many ways, and along with some pretty great beer options who can complain? Find us...

Our second foray into Cameron Crowe territory will likely be our last considering the films released after the psychological drama "Vanilla Sky," the subject of our newest episode. We sit down for this happy hour, enjoy a few beers together and talk all things Tom Cruise, Cameron Diaz, Penelope Cruz and at least get to discuss "Almost Famous" one more time. Some things held up,...

On our newest episode we discuss what a huge economic and social impact we have had on the world in the last year...literally cannot think of anything else that has happened worldwide recently! Obviously we are kidding (or being facetious as Tim would probably say). However, we did indeed have the one year anniversary from our first publication of "Almost Famous." To celebrate this miles...

Audio issues forced us into a re-record situation and in the end we are glad we did based on what we heard from the first go around.  That being said, there are a few gems that we include in this new episode where we discuss 2001's Best Picture nominated drama, "In the Bedroom." Along with new beers, we find that movies like this not only hold up well, but in some ways they are bett...
