20 Years, 4 Beers: Recent Episodes
Meendering Brothers
A show dedicated to re-watching classic films from two decades ago, while drinking a minimum of four modern beers. Two brothers sit down and discuss their memories of the film, review the beer, and make fun of each other a lot...as brothers do!
If you are listening from outside of the upper Midwest, you may want to skip this, or at least send it to someone who you know from that area - cause you maybe have never heard of this one! In this episode we discuss a star studded indie film, that didn't take the world by storm, but made a lot of folks in Minnesota happy, in Robert Altmann's "A Prairie Home Companion."
You may not know Garrison Keillor, but you definitely know this cast, so if you have not seen it please check it out. Along with some new beers and trivia, we know you will have a good listen.

I can all but guarantee our regular listeners have never seen, or likely heard of, our next subject film - but screw it we are doing it anyways cause we can! In our newest happy hour episode we cover another little caper film in 2006's "Luck Number Slevin."

In this new episode we discuss one of our favorite Spike Lee joints, and a great addition to the heist film genre, with 2006's "Inside Man." But really what we discuss is a random movie with a random trailer, that none of you have heard of... and that is ok too!

No, this is not the future that Mike Judge wrote about 20 years ago...but how far off is it really? That is the question we ask ourselves in our newest rewatch, 2006's "Idiocracy." While the movie may or may not have held up, it sure doesn't seem too far off at times.
Along with discussing 5 new beers, we also have some new trivia, and an overall pretty laid back vibe in this one so we hope you enjoy.

Well hello old friend! After taking a break from editing and posting, we are back with a vengeance... or should we say Vendetta?! In our first trip back to 2006 we decided to rewatch an unfortunately progressively prescient film, with 2006's "V for Vendetta." Be forewarned - political conversation is a part of this bad boy, but how can we avoid it?
We also discuss some recent (not as much anymore) passings, a lot of new beers, and even more trivia to stump you! What a way to start the year!

For our final re-watch of the year we decided to go with the film that seems to drive the conversation from 2005, Ang Lee's beautiful classic "Brokeback Mountain." We discuss if this was the true Best Picture of the year, or if it perhaps was another. One thing is for sure, it wasn't Crash.
Along with some new beers, fun trivia, and a nice realization that the films of 05 are behind us, we think you will enjoy this last foray into that year as much as we did recording it.

We have mercifully come to the last two episodes of the year, and in this one we switch up the tradition of ending the year on the Best Picture winner, because we all know this was NOT the best picture of 2005... but we still push through for our fans though!
In this episode we discuss 2005's "Crash" along with the many ways it is inferior to many other films. We also talk about some fun new beers, have a guest along for most of the ride, and all in all have a ton of fun.

Who says Spielberg can't do comedy? Wait...wrong movie...
On this new episode we cover the movie that somehow perfectly encapsulates the year of 2005 in movies. Starts out with promise, has some really great moments, but falls flat and in the end leaves you awkwardly sweating and crying in bed.
You may already see where this one is going, but in this episode we discuss 2005's Best Picture nominated Spielberg film, "Munich." We may not have loved it, but we loved recording and the new beers that we had along the way.

Another adaptation episode, except this one we LOVE! In the early 2000's Peter Jackson could do no wrong, and he proves it here with a timely update that still feels faithful to it's source in 2005's King Kong.
It's long, but worth it as they say, and so is this episode. Along with rewatching the Director's Cut, we enjoy four or five beers, stump each other with fun trivia, and have a lot of laughs along the way. We know you will enjoy it as much as we do.

Coming closer and closer to our rewatches of 2005 films brings us to another legendary book series adapted into a film... not Harry Potter, or Lord of the Rings, but the other one in The Chronicles of Narnia. This one is not what it wanted to be, but it works for our Christmas episodes of 2025 and we stuck with it!
We may not have loved the film, but we always love recording and having some new beers and a lot of laughs. We hope you enjoy the episode and find us at 20years4beers.com for more!

Here we present you our Christmas episode... in January! Such is life when editing things yourself haha
In this episode we discuss a beloved Christmas classic - well, for us it is - in 2005's "KIss Kiss, Bang Bang." The film is more than just the relaunch of Robert Downey Jr's career, it stands as a wonderful addition to the obscure Christmas film genre, and we cannot recommend it enough.

Did we record this episode in October? Yes, yes we did. But who cares cause it is out now! After playing some catch up, we are back to a regular schedule and that begins with the release of the end of year episodes from 2025.
First is this episode where we contractually discuss a Steven Spielberg film, in 2005's "War of the Worlds." Along with some new beers, almost all of which were good, fun trivia and an odd Freudian slip, we think you will enjoy this one as much as we do.

Look - Tim and I don't always agree, and when we don't it is clearly Tim who must admit who is actually correct... and this episode is no different! We take another jump back to 20 years ago and rewatch Ron Howard's boxing movie "Cinderella Man" and enjoy some fun with a fellow podcaster as well.
Along with the film we discuss four new beers, enjoy a fun trivia session, and a trip down memory lane with an old friend. We think you will enjoy listening as much as we love recording. Thanks for your support and find us on 20years4beers.com for more!

We couldn't decide which "raunchy" comedy to feature, so why not cover two for the price of one?! In this episode we look back at two mega hit comedies. One that launched a career of a comedy icon in "The 40-Year-Old Virgin," the other that showed off the legendary comedic duo of the time in "Wedding Crashers."
There isn't a ton of depth here, but there are a lot of laughs, new beers, fun trivia, and another round of "can Steve edit?" We think you will enjoy it, and thank you for your support! Find us at 20years4beers.com for more info.

It's all happening!!! 5 years have passed (and a bit more since we recorded this) and somehow we are still here and still kicking...not unlike our film this week! We do something never before seen on 20/4 and cover a film we have ALREADY covered, with a twist.
For our special anniversary episode, we rewatch the one that started it all, "Almost Famous: The Bootleg Cut" otherwise known as the director's cut. We take a look back at our first episode, 5 years of fun, and one of our favorite films ever, along with some fun new beers and somehow new trivia. We hope you like it!

We finally break out of the comic book streak, and decide to go further back again to cover one of our favorite films of all-time in 1995's "The Usual Suspects."
It is hard to understate the love we have for this film, and after listening to this episode I am sure you will understand what I am talking about.
Combined with 4 new beers, somehow trivia we had not known at this point, and a lot of laughs, we know that our fans will love this one too.

Hey, another comic book episode! We may not be consistent in posting episodes, but we sure can find random stretches of themes when we want! On this brand new episode we discuss an M. Night Shyamalan comic book film, one of our favorites, in 2005's "Unbreakable."
As usual we also cover four new beers, add in some fun trivia, another round of laughs and even a little potty break for fun. We think you will enjoy it as much as we do.

Another day, another comic book episode of 20 Years, 4 Beers! As we continue this mid-season theme, we pivot to a much grittier graphic novel adaptation and cover 2005's "Sin City." This one was hard to find a clip for, I will admit, but that doesn't stop us from enjoying the rewatch, and some new beers to go with it.
Add in some fun trivia, and a lot of laughs, and you have another fantastic addition to the 20/4 lineup.

A rare double feature from us tackles two of the greatest pop culture films, and arguable two of the most influential films of all-time, both celebrating milestone years this year. Jaws (50th Anniversary) and Back to the Future (40th Anniversary), both have a special place in our hearts, and have somehow gotten better with age.
In this episode we discuss both films, briefly talk about beer cause the stars of the show are these two movies, and have fun talking about two iconic scores, offer up fun trivia, and a whole lot more. We hope you enjoy this very special episode as we had a ton of fun getting to record it and rewatch these films.

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."

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 trivia, we hope you enjoy this episode more than we enjoyed the film. Thank you for your support, and be sure to find us at 20years4beers.com for more.

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's filmmaking at its finest.
Along with our newest love fest over a film, we enjoy some new beers from a love fest of a beer location in St. Louis, and also find some fun new trivia and have a lot of laughs about a not so funny subject film.

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.
Needless to say, you are in store for a love fest, but we also enjoy some new beers and trivia so we know that fans of the show will love this as much as we did recording it.

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 than 20 years, but as usual we still sit down and discuss it over four new beers, have a lot of laughs and a trivia round featuring A LOT of wrong answers.

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... teaser! Along with our conversation about the film, we discuss new beers, some extra trivia and as always have a lot of laughs.

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 somehow gets overlooked in film history thanks to another film from 1990 which we will cover in the next happy hour.

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 us has great taste in films, and the other one is Tim.

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 fun. Combine that with the regular fan favorites and new beers each week, and we think this year will be the best one yet. Thanks for your support and find us on the web at 20years4beers.com.

25 years ago we witnessed perhaps the greatest year in film history, right up there with 1994 (previously covered). In 1999 films such as The Sixth Sense, Fight Club, The Matrix, American Beauty, American Pie, and many others were released to massive success both critically and at the box office.
In this episode we look back at all but three of these films (those are coming soon), have some new beers and have a lot of fun about a certain cartoon character's mother. We hope you like it, and thanks for supporting us!

We present our first 30 Year retrospective of this season and take a look back at the all-time year of 1994. 2004 was not the greatest year in film history, and as a result we figured we would look back to one of the best years in film history.
In this episode we discuss classic comedies like "Dumb and Dumber," and "Ace Ventura," classic action like "Speed" and "True Lies," animated classics like "Lion King" and even some all-time dramas such as "Quiz Show." 1994 was so good that we wanted to change our format just to talk about it.

We don't think it is an understatement to say that this film changed the course of history for one of film's largest franchises. In 2004's "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban," we get to see our main characters grow, the depth of story leave the surface level and get deeper, and our addiction to the wizarding world increase. After 20 years it still gets better and better.
Along with our rewatch, we have 4 new beers, discuss some recent films, offer up fun new trivia, and even feature some fun guests who fit the core demographic of the film.

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.

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 fun comic book movie, and have some laughs along the way. Thanks for taking the time to listen, make sure to follow us on Twitter @years_beers, or head to 20years4beers.com for more info.

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 information about the podcast on Twitter @years_beers, and at 20years4beers.com.
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 bad?

Happy New Year!
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 things, 5 new beers, and more!
Thanks for listening and subscribing. Find us on Twitter @years_beers or head to 20years4beers.com for more information and looks at our upcoming movies.
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 enjoy it as much as we did.
Thanks for listening, downloading and subscribing to our podcast. Find us on Twitter @years_beers or head to 20years4beers.com for more information and our 2022 movie list is live as well. Enjoy!
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 some old school "Quantum Leap" and "Guster" references for those who are in the know!

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?

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, and some things certainly did not age well, we hope you enjoy us rambling on about it!
Thanks for taking time to listen, find us on Twitter @years_beers or head to 20years4beers.com for more information on us and our beer choices.
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 milestone we sit down to discuss 2001's quirky classic "The Royal Tenenbaums," have our four new beers, enjoy some celebratory cupcakes and even an additional special beer.
Thank you all so much for listening this last year, and for finding us on Twitter @years_beers or at 20years4beers.com. Here's to another year of fun!
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 better than when they first came out. Thank you for taking the time to listen, and for patiently waiting for us to get going.

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 fun and laughter while we take a trip to Paris together.
Follow us on Twitter @years_beers or head to 20years4beers.com for more information. Thank you!
Editor's Note
As much as we tried to avoid it, we ended up with some audio issues for this episode. We apologize for the inconvenience, and recommend listening on headphones or adjusting your volume levels if you listen in the car.
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 Twitter @years_beers or heading to 20years4beers.com.
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.

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 time to listen, for downloading us and for finding us on Twitter @years_beers. Don't forget, anyone can change their stars!
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.

"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 following us on Twitter @years_beers!
P.S. Find the one and only time we mention a Zoolander pose...it's a quick reference.
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 brewery, our newest addition to the 20/4 lineup is a good one.
Thanks for listening, find us on Twitter @years_beers or at 20years4beers.com.
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 two can bring about!

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.

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 fun as always. Featuring four new beers, and more compassion for a drug lord than originally thought possible, thanks for checking out our thoughts on "Blow."
Find us on Twitter @years_beers and thanks for listening!
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 remembering back on a truly wonderful movie. Thanks for taking time to listen and download. Find us on Twitter @years_beers or head to 20years4beers.com for more info.
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 for more info and other fun stuff. Thanks!
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 @years_beers or head to 20years4beers.com.
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 to follow us on Twitter @years_beers or head to 20years4beers.com
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. Thanks for taking a listen, and be sure to find us on twitter @years_beers or 20years4beers.com
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 cannot wait for this new season, and thanks for listening. Follow us on Twitter @years_beers and at 20years4beers.com
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 movie, and the beer.
Follow us on twitter @years_beers or 20years4beers.com. Happy New Year! On to 2021...wait, more like on to 2001!
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: It's not that glowing

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.

Wilson!!! On our newest episode we sit down to discuss the tour-de-force performance by Tom Hanks, share four crowlers from MN breweries, and thank the Lord that Cast Away held up after twenty years. It is hard to understate our love for Hanks' performance, and we hope you enjoy our latest addition to the 20/4 network. For a fun side game, take a drink every time you hear Tim say "narrative." Thanks for listening, follow us on Twitter (@years_beers) and head to www.20years4beers.com for more.
Tim and Steve look back at another all-time favorite film for them both, a Coen Brothers classic (masterpiece really). Along with an extra special surprise beer, they discuss the significance of the Coen brothers, George Clooney's stardom, and some pretty great beer choices this time around. Recorded on a truly historic day, this is our latest effort in what has become a fun project for us both.
In our latest installment of 20/4, we dive in to the genre that has dominated the box office for the last twenty years, superheroes! That run largely began with our focus this week, the blockbuster hit, X-Men. Tim and I discuss the movie, four new beers from the upper Midwest (including Steve's favorite), and the answer to the question - does this hold up? You may be surprised with our answer, as well as just how much these two men love Hugh Jackman and James Marsden. Sit back, crack open a brew, and enjoy the only episode 2 worth a dang...looking at you Star Wars!
Tim and Steve sit down to re-watch an all-time favorite film for both of them in this inaugural episode of 20 Years, 4 Beers. Grab a beer of your own, watch the movie if you would like, but sit back and enjoy the journey of two brothers, a classic film, and 4 (actually 5) beers from the Minneapolis area.
