At long last Good Brews Bad Views dives into one of the true hallmarks of big budget utterly bizarre Hollywood movies with 1991's Nothing But Trouble, in which Chevy Chase and Demi Moore are beset upon by Dan Aykroyd and his deranged family in the industrial hellscape of backwoods New Jersey. Plus The Digital Underground is here? It's a Blind View for James and Ryan as Max exposes them to one of t...
