20 Years, 4 Beers

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...

On this episode of 20/4 we dive into foreign films with 2001's French delight, "Amelie." This episode we have quadrupled our audience and are joined by some of our biggest fans, as well as four(ish) new beers. Somewhat fitting for a film that English speakers cannot understand, we did have some audio issues (see below), but please do not let that stop you as you will hear a lot of f...

Another Happy Hour episode is upon us, where we discuss a spy thriller, and frankly anything we can about Brad Pitt and Robert Redford, in 2001's "Spy Game." Along with discussing 5 new beers, including an all time low rating, we come together after recording "Legally Blonde" and rant about whatever comes to mind. Thanks for taking the time to listen, and for following us...

On this episode we sit down in front of our first live audience (ok one person but still!), and discuss the female driven comedy "Legally Blonde." Along with four new beers, not all blonde styles, we talk about how this movie actually holds up better than other comedies from this era, and how Reese Witherspoon really is in a league of her own. Find us on Twitter @years_beers, on Facebook...

While we may not completely agree on the quality of this now twenty year old film, one thing is an absolute certainty...Heath Ledger is and was an absolute treasure of an actor. Twenty years ago, "A Knight's Tale" was released, and in 2021 we get together and discuss our like or dislike of the film, as well as 4 new beers that accompanied us on the ride.   Thank you for taking the t...

Who knew a robot boy could generate THIS much emotion?! On our new episode we discuss Steven Spielberg's modern masterpiece (in at least one of our minds) "A.I. Artificial Intelligence." Combined with four new beers, somehow we could not stop gushing about this film and all of it's many nuances and layers...we hope you enjoy it too. Find us on Twitter @years_beers or head to 20...

"That Hansel is so hot right now" On our latest Happy Hour episode we reach back in to the comedy vault and discuss 2001's Ben Stiller feature, "Zoolander."  Along with five new beers this time, we realize that not all movies hold up to what we wanted them to be, but one thing is for certain  - Jerry Stiller is comedic legend. Thanks for listening, downloading and followin...

King Kong aint got ______ on us for this new episode! 2001's Best Actor Oscar went to Denzel Washington for his iconic performance as a corrupt cop in "Training Day," the subject film for our latest edition of 20 Years, 4 Beers. We were surprised how much we loved this film, and along with talking about another wonderful performance by Ethan Hawke, and enjoying 4 beers from the same...

On our newest episode we transition from the Mini-Pod to Happy Hour...what's the difference? Not much honestly, just two brothers drinking some beers and talking about a movie. This time the film in our cross hairs is 2001's dumpster fire of a film, "Pearl Harbor."  Join us as we discuss our mutual hatred for this film, along with many other insights that only an extra beer or...

Another episode, another family film! On our newest episode we discuss the Wizarding World that began with 2001's classic "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone." Along the way we enjoy four new beers from Minnesota, talk everything from Quidditch to John Williams, and have a blast with some trivia and random factoids. Thanks for taking a listen! Find us on Twitter @years_beers...

What a fun romp through a drug fueled 70's and 80's... We wouldn't blame you if you have not heard of our featured movie on this episode, but you need to do yourself a favor and get acquainted with it. "Blow" stars Johnny Depp as George Jung, an unlikely lynchpin in the drug trade boom of the 1970's.  Though the topic may be depressing, the episode and the beer are fu...

On our newest full length episode we discuss another family film, 2001's absolute classic Monsters Inc.  Somehow there has been a debate about if Pixar is the best animation studio over the years, and we feel that this movie is the debate ender. Along with four new beers, all in honor of a special birthday, we sit and discuss our love of Pixar, share some trivia nuggets and overall enjoy reme...

Yes, yes it has been 20 years since Shrek was released...we couldn't believe it either! In our newest short form episode we discuss all things Ogre, a love for hidden meanings in the story, four new beers, and of course...the eternal hope that Shrek offers us real-life Giant Ogre's out there! Someday my princess will come! Follow us on Twitter @years_beers or head to 20years4beers.com fo...

Can we just appreciate a film that makes our heads hurt? Yes we can! On the newest episode we discuss 2001's classic mind bender of a film, Christopher Nolan's Hollywood debut "Memento." We wax poetic about how much we love this film, enjoy four new beers from MN and WI, and generally just have a great time. Thanks for taking a listen, and be sure to find updates on Twitter @ye...

On our newest mini-pod we bring you our reaction to 2001's unlikely franchise starter, "The Fast and The Furious." We have a hard time holding back our displeasure for this film, and our shock of the billions of dollars made by the following franchise. Thankfully we have four new beers to help us along the way. Thanks for taking a few minutes out of your day to listen, and be sure t...

Welcome to 20 Years, 4 Beers! On this episode we discuss our first remake, 2001's delight of a film - Oceans 11. This one stars basically everyone in Hollywood, and both Tim and Steve are in agreement that they need to make more movies like this one. Along with the movie we enjoy four new beers from MN and WI, and Steve surprises Tim with a theme for the beers that he did not see coming. Than...

20 Years, 4 Beers begins a journey through a new year's worth of two decade old films..Buh Bye 2000, hello 2001! Our first episode for this new year is also our first musical, 2001's beloved "Moulin Rouge!" Check out the new intro too! Please take some time to listen to us discuss a favorite film, 4 wonderful new beers, and Steve's not so subtle take on Nicole Kidman. We c...

We say goodbye to 2020 with one last film from the year 2000, that years "best" picture - Gladiator. While re-watching a long epic we also enjoy five beers again, talk all things sword and sandal, have our largest disagreement both on beer and on Joaguin Phoenix, and finally have one trivia question each. Take a break from the day, crack open a cold one, and find out or thoughts on the m...

So many movies, so little time!  In the mini-pod series we are discussing movies that didn't make the cut for our full length episodes, and why not start with a Holiday movie for the Holidays? This episode we discuss Ron Howard's "How The Grinch Stole Christmas," four new beers, Jim Carrey's performance, and our overall feelings for this holiday "classic." *Hint:...

So many movies, so little time! In our newest series we cover the movies from twenty years ago that didn't quite make the cut for a full length discussion. This episode we discuss "High Fidelity," four new beers, the love of John Cusack, and the romantic comedy genre as a whole. Glad to know this one holds up, and we hope you like this condensed version of our show. Follow us on Twi...
