goddamnit, if that's not actually true, it needs to be. and if they're back in the Hoserland, just get 'em on webcam, sitting and drinking in their living rooms for a few minutes,. I'm sure they look pretty close to the SCTV set, anyway, eh?
I like how this started out as a retrospective of Great White North and then slowly regressed into a real life reenactment with two drunk Canadians rambling about nothing.
It's nice to see a different sort of chemistry. I do love the yin-yang of Mike and Jay, and the whacked-out anything-can-happen Mike and Rich, but it's also nice to have something a bit more subtle sometimes!
When you've got 2 dudes talking about something you didn't know existed nor cared about but are entertained the whole way through. That's some quality content. Cheers.
Jim. One of God's own prototypes. A high-powered mutant of some kind never even considered for mass production. Too weird to live, and too rare to die.
Yep: Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, Temple of Doom, and The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles (which isn't technically a movie, but he's Canadian, so I'll forgive him).
In a potential "Strange Brew" sequel; Ian Thomas (Dave's brother & quite the accomplished musician himself) must play a much more active role. In other words; Ian Thomas can portray a parole officer in the sequel.
As a Scotsman, 2 things, 1 - don't slag deep fried pizza, it is delicious and I have no idea why Heart attack is the number 1 cause of death in Scotland. And 2 - your Scottish accents are great :)
Seeing the dog lose its cape made me cry with happiness. Thanks for taking me back to 6th grade. Love these retro reviews and all the inside stuff about the iconic films of my childhood.
My mom bought me this movie out of nowhere when I was 12 years old, and I watched it over and over, I think this movie influenced my sense of humor by a great deal. And it’s insane to think is almost 37 years old.
I feel like I've seen Jim and Colin around for enough Best of the Worsts that they're no really the other guys anymore. I still think of Josh the Wizard as the "other guy".
The best episodes are always when the Canadians come in. There aren't too many of them so that they're not overdone, and every one of them feels like your good friend just came home.
They each bring a unique energy compared to the others... Colin is boyishly resistant to the RLM bitterness we know and love and usually has at least one genuine _"Oh, wow"_ moment per episode. Jim is laid-back, literally, lounging perpetually behind a gnomic smile that says "You'll like me even when you find out I got paid for _X-Men Origins: Wolverine."_ They're the ganache on the RLM Nanaimo bar
Strange Brew was VERY loosely based on Hamlet. It took place mainly at Elsinore Brewery (instead of Elsinore Castle), the uncle murdered the father and married the mother, the ghost of the father appears, there was a movie within a movie (Space Mutants instead of The Murder of Gonzago). Insanity also played a big part, too. There were many other similarities...
This was one of our favorite films in university. My roommate was an English major, and one time he wrote his term paper comparing _Strange Brew_ and _Hamlet_ . He even gave his prof a videotape of the movie along with the paper. IIRC, he aced it. [Rest in Peace Brewmeister Smith.]
A Scottish pizza-delivery service is one of those bizarre concepts you just _have_ to turn into a comedy sketch. Gold Leader Pizza: _If it gets there late, deal with it_
*Pizza delivery guy attempts to throw pizza box through window* "Gold Leader, what's your status?" *Cut to pizza smeared all over wall of house* "Negative, it didn't go in. Just impacted on the surface."
Good vibes... will Jim's decades of awards-winning visual effects experience come in handy? Will Colin's joyful reaction when he learns some little-known fact of note make me feel ten years younger? It will... it will. God bless these magnificent Australians
Yeah eh. I'd like to see the Great White North expanded universe. BTW, not just Northern Ontario accent. Definitely heard that accent as far west as Lethbridge, eh. Where's my Lethbridge Pils?
I always got the feeling he was too drunk to operate in a group format when they did botw, the montages of him stuttering were always very cute and amusing though
Shooting with Mike, Jay and the gang must be a little intimidating for any guests. With just the two of them, it must relieve that sort of pressure. At least that's how it seemed to me.
I want to thank Jim and Colin for the most Canadian review ever. The history and backstory was, for me, the best part. I never knew the origins of this and it is a nice add on to what I knew. I can also see the Canadian duo doing a Re:View of "What we Do in the Shadows"...maybe New Zealand is a second Canada. Great job on the Re:View, really enjoyed it a lot more than your transformer review.
3,2,3,4-4,2,3 AND These men are PAWNS! I put a price of 20,000 dirham on their heads. Next they will be hailed as the true messenger of GOD!

Jon VanDerKooi Didn't the British technically win seeing as though they 'kept' Canada, and Canada didn't become a nation until the 1860s? Either way, bless these two Canuck overlords and their pleasantly peaceful expansionism.
Just found this. Strange Brew is one of my favorite movies. My son and I watched it together when he was a teenager (he’s now 50) and laughed our heads off. One of our favorite lines”That’s a beauty, clerk (clark)”. We say it often. Great review!
I came expecting a simple review and got lots of trivia about Canadian culture I was absolutely unaware of. Super fascinating and think these two weirdos are great.
Not everyone in MN has that accent all the time, but it slips out on certain words. I've noticed I sometimes say "Mondee" instead of Monday, and I definitely say " ya" instead of yeah, little things like that, but it's pretty minimal since I live just south of the cities. In the metro areas, the accent is generally weaker, though I was recently at a hospital downtown and had a nurse who kept asking my family "You guys fyeeling okee over dere?" But yes, "The State of Hockey" is gradually overtaking "The Land of 10,000 Lakes" for state nickname.
I say we have more Jim and Collin collabs in the future. They have a bright energy, play well off each other, and clearly know what they're talking about. Oh and uh, are Jim and Collin replacing Half in the Bag?
I went to the theater to see this movie for my 13th birthday. Only in High School did I realize it was a Hamlet homage/send-up (guess I had to read it first). One of my all-time favorite guilty pleasure dumb comedies.
Yeah, I'm kind of surprised that neither one (or offscreen Josh or Jay) brought that up. I was waiting the entire time for someone to point out the Hamlet connections.
I heard about this film from a sketch on a Del the Funky Homosapien album and I've always been curious about it but not enough to watch it. You guys filled the gap, thanks.
We interrupt this broadcast to bring you this special message... How's it goin' eh? today's movie on the Universal National Network is a classic. Starring in it, are two comedic geniuses of North American cinema from the 20th century, Bob and Doug McKenzie. Entitled "Strange Brew", it chronicles the heroic adventures of two latter day renaissance men, or, to use the correct 20th century terminology, hosers. We give it, 3 thumbs up.
Ok. This is one of my favorite re:View videos. Anyways, I LOVED this movie as a kid. First saw it as a rental video back in either 84 or 85. I saw the movie before they started airing reruns of SCTV on one of our local UHF stations here in the US. I'm surprised they didn't do another movie. Strange Brew has so much re-watch value for me. I've seen it like a bazillion times and it never gets old. Plus Lynne Griffin was adorable in this. They just don't make movies like this anymore.
I loved the Bob and Doug McKenzie in the 1980s. I watched SCTV, I listen to the album, and their rendition of the 12 Days of Christmas is a CLASSIC. ...On the first day of Christmas, my true love gave to me, A beer.
Just want to add that the third writer of this film, Steve De Jarnatt, went on to direct 2 movies: Cherry 2000 and Miracle Mile, the latter possibly being one of the most underrated movies ever.
I love the fact that these guys feel that Hosehead taking flight is the moment this movie crosses into the absurd. :D A great review of one of my favorite movies!
Canadian accents probably derive from Scottish, like "oot". They even have a province called New Scotland (in Latin). American accents seem to derive from Irish.
You forgot the "Hamlet" plotline and how Claudius was split into 2 characters. (Claude Elsinore and Brewmaster Smith) Other than that, excellent review!
I love how Bob and Doug are basically Rosencrantz and Guildenstern. I wonder if it influenced Tom Stoppard. It even has the play within a play within a play -- Shakespeare meta before meta was a thing.... And poison is a major plot device in the finale.
OMG! I watched SCTV as a kid...I'm from the states, too. I remember Ed Grimley, Count Floyd, and the rest.. After Laff-In reruns, THIS was my go-to comedy show. And I saw Strange Brew eaaaarly in the a.m. on TBS many years ago..
![FNAF vs TF2 - Episode 2 [SFM]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/z5b3V2-VLb0/mqdefault.jpg)
Fun fact: when aired in Canada this episode had 2 additional minutes of Jim and Collin drinking beer.
goddamnit, if that's not actually true, it needs to be. and if they're back in the Hoserland, just get 'em on webcam, sitting and drinking in their living rooms for a few minutes,. I'm sure they look pretty close to the SCTV set, anyway, eh?
Im in Canada and I wish this were true.
They finally got tired of Zima, eh?
Viewing this from Canada i can verify this.
This episode was government mandated by the CBC in order for Red Letter Media to be available in Canada.
Filmocide - best comment so far.
I would have written "by the CRTC" but solid joke.
Tbh the rest of America considers the Midwest to be basically Canadians
They're literally Canadian versions of Mike and Jay. It's not even ironic.
something something broke new ground
I really want to see what the Canadian version of Rich Evans would be like! I would pay good money to see that!
The Canadian version of Rich Evans is Rob Ford.
I would be up for the challenge, but I probably not fat enough.
Which one's supposed to be Mike? They're both a lot like Jay, but where do people see Mike?
I like how this started out as a retrospective of Great White North and then slowly regressed into a real life reenactment with two drunk Canadians rambling about nothing.
popsodarootbeers it was the real life version of Adaptation.
Very observant of you. Hail, good sir. xD
jay laughing off-camera is always a treat
poo
Agreed. Him or Rich
Mike's wheezing is a joy as well.
I always liked Jim and Colin, but this video made me a fan of them. They have perfect chemistry.
It's nice to see a different sort of chemistry. I do love the yin-yang of Mike and Jay, and the whacked-out anything-can-happen Mike and Rich, but it's also nice to have something a bit more subtle sometimes!
They really aren't on enough. Best guests by far.
When you've got 2 dudes talking about something you didn't know existed nor cared about but are entertained the whole way through. That's some quality content. Cheers.
Finally, a Jim-Colin standalone RLM Story. It's all about family.
It's like poetry... It rhymes.
That's what's so powerful about it.
Many Canadians died to bring us this information.
*aboot
Jim. One of God's own prototypes. A high-powered mutant of some kind never even considered for mass production. Too weird to live, and too rare to die.
*fleshy-headed mutant.
Can't stop here, this is BAT country! - man of culture
Mar10 Can't stop here... this is Donkey Kong Country
+Virjunior - Ah, I see you are a man of culture as well.
It's okay. He's just admiring the shape of your skull.
Colin: "all three Indiana Jones movies". Yeah, that's about right.
Yep: Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, Temple of Doom, and The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles (which isn't technically a movie, but he's Canadian, so I'll forgive him).
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Still sounds right lol
Their Scottish accents are some of the best Ive heard
Jim is on point
I was surprised. North Americans always get it wrong usually.
He has a Scottish surname.
yeah for real. Same with the scowl thats a proper haggis muncher right there
Snow Falling On Max Von Cedars.
Also the Scottish pizza accents were bang on.
It's called Mamma's pizza, on the Grassmarket in Edinburgh. He doesn't run it anymore it seems.
and yeah, great accents!
That bad joke was worth it for Jay's laugh.
I like this comment, but the likes are currently at 420. I can't bring myself to thumbs up, but I liked.
@@preachermansam86 That's because Jim has actually been in a traditional Celtic band for over thirty years.
Re:Views with Jim are my favorite ones. Hes always so articulate and well researched when he talks about the films.
Fuck you Colin
I wish Canada would make a second movie. So we can have Jim and Colin on review again
In a potential "Strange Brew" sequel; Ian Thomas (Dave's brother & quite the accomplished musician himself) must play a much more active role. In other words; Ian Thomas can portray a parole officer in the sequel.
Jim and Colin are their best guests, by far. I have a real soft spot for Jim in particular. He's so mild and awkward, it's great.
Jim’s funny as hell
Jim's the most butch RLM-o. Bearded giant who captains the paint crew for _Vikings,_ 5-time Emmy nominee. A calm, steep fjord of a man
As a Scotsman, 2 things, 1 - don't slag deep fried pizza, it is delicious and I have no idea why Heart attack is the number 1 cause of death in Scotland. And 2 - your Scottish accents are great :)
So Scotland and southern America are the same country basically. Well we used to be connected by the Appalachian mountains
Today I learned deep fried pizza is a thing. Please bring this miraculous invention to the great Scottish diaspora land of Canada
Southern Deep fat fried chicken is essentially Scottish, with Cajun spices added, if I remember correctly
@@AliceBowie sounds delicious!
Jim was born in Scotland iirc.
I feel like Jim had that Snow Falling on Cedars joke written especially for Jay, since no one else could have possibly found that funny.
I still don't get it a year later.
Jay, and me. :D
I think he mispronounced von Sydow the whole episode just for that joke
What was the joke?
I've never read or seen snow falling on cedars but it's still hilarious
Watching two canadians drinking beer talking about a movie with two canadians who drink beer and talk.
Perfect.
We've come full circle.
Canadian beerception
It's like poetry etc...
I'm Scottish, and Jim's accent is amazing
rotally Pumpered yeah really surprised, he did it so well.
I know, it was almost too good. There's got to be more to it.
"It's gonni be a cuupla 'ahrs"
I went to his IMDB page to see what the deal with Vikings was, and on there it says he was born in Scotland.
You could tell that actor was more Canadian than Scottish, he said "sorey" after swearing. Ah fookin Scott keana never do that!
Seeing the dog lose its cape made me cry with happiness. Thanks for taking me back to 6th grade. Love these retro reviews and all the inside stuff about the iconic films of my childhood.
“Bumbling slobs, drinking bear and improvising”
Isn’t that like every RLM episode?
Add a squeaky loud laugh and yeah
My mom bought me this movie out of nowhere when I was 12 years old, and I watched it over and over, I think this movie influenced my sense of humor by a great deal. And it’s insane to think is almost 37 years old.
Looking at it, it's not insane at all
It's the other other guy and the other other other guy.
Worf Came here for this
you are without honor
Imposter!
I feel like I've seen Jim and Colin around for enough Best of the Worsts that they're no really the other guys anymore. I still think of Josh the Wizard as the "other guy".

Bob and Doug are Rosencrantz and Guildenstern. There's more than a loose connection once you connect the dots.
According to the soundtrack album, Shakespeare horked their script...

DogOfHades dick moronis
Everyone does.
You make it sound like he’s dead.
Mortiis558 not my intention
Just wanted to make sure he didn’t die and I somehow missed the news. I do miss him in movies though.
All the guys in RLM crack me up. But by far, Jim is the funniest guy in the group. I wish they had him on more often.
A Scottish pizza-delivery service is one of those bizarre concepts you just _have_ to turn into a comedy sketch.

"Negative, it didn't go in. Just impacted on the surface."
Scottish deep fried pizza. How did they know about that?!
Scot's love junk food. We deep fry everything unfortunately.
Be thankful. It's not a good idea.
We deep fry Mars Bars as well and sell them in chip shops.
Good vibes... will Jim's decades of awards-winning visual effects experience come in handy? Will Colin's joyful reaction when he learns some little-known fact of note make me feel ten years younger? It will... it will. God bless these magnificent Australians
This review's beauty, eh? I bet these two hosers shot it in 3B. :D

Three beers and it looks good eh?
Yeah eh. I'd like to see the Great White North expanded universe.
BTW, not just Northern Ontario accent. Definitely heard that accent as far west as Lethbridge, eh. Where's my Lethbridge Pils?
How do you manage to get a top thumbed up comment every RLM video?
Oh look, it’s Can in the Bag.
Half in the Litre.
Canada went metric before everyone else, so a lot of folk still don't know how to do it. Double it and add thirty.
Great White Re:View. Lol
Milk in the bag
@@TheDrugOfTheNation So that's like, 42 metric beers (and 32 kilos of backbacon).
Good to see Jim come out of his shell. He used to be so quiet. 😋
I always got the feeling he was too drunk to operate in a group format when they did botw, the montages of him stuttering were always very cute and amusing though
Shooting with Mike, Jay and the gang must be a little intimidating for any guests. With just the two of them, it must relieve that sort of pressure. At least that's how it seemed to me.
Jim pointing out the one brother drank his own pee in the beer barrel actually made me burst out laughing.
I want to thank Jim and Colin for the most Canadian review ever. The history and backstory was, for me, the best part. I never knew the origins of this and it is a nice add on to what I knew. I can also see the Canadian duo doing a Re:View of "What we Do in the Shadows"...maybe New Zealand is a second Canada.

You forgot the "Hamlet" plotline and how Claudius was split into 2 characters. (Claude Elsinore and Brewmaster Smith)
Other than that, excellent review!
Steve Popescu This video primed my brain to read plotline as poutine for a split second.
I love how Bob and Doug are basically Rosencrantz and Guildenstern. I wonder if it influenced Tom Stoppard. It even has the play within a play within a play -- Shakespeare meta before meta was a thing.... And poison is a major plot device in the finale.
Tobias Becker - They also get "killed" halfway through the story.
I know right?! HOW did they miss all the Hamlet references? The ghost, the gaslighting of Pamela (Hamlet), Elsinore friggin' CASTLE?!
Probably because Shakespeare is overrated garbage and Canadians tend to stay away from that.
"I gotta pee so bad I can taste it!"
these are the first funny Canadian duo since Terrance and Philip!
this movie was a huge part of my childhood, right up there with The Blues Brothers. love you canucks.
How could you not mention this is a remake of Hamlet?
No kidding! That's one of the best parts about it!
I came here for this. It's an absurd oversight.
Back in high school, I told my English teacher about this film since we were reading Macbeth that year, and it blew her mind.
These guys are so wholesome it hurts my brain. More please.
I see even without Mike, Star Trek comes in somehow
My dad used to rent this movie for me at the giant video. It's my favorite movie. So glad you reviewed this!
Jim was one the most hilarous guests. I hope he´s fine and can get back to the show soon.
Seeing a new RLM really does light up my day. Thank you, I needed the pick me up.
Im Scottish and those where really good ascents!
This was fucking beautiful. I need a two hour video of these two doing Scottish accents.
This was hilarious! From someone living in Scotland, your accents were spot-on :D
I so just rewatched this movie and loved it. I had blurry memories of seeing it in a hotel when I was like 6.
Jay just laughing in the background is the best part
This was a great one. Love these Re: Reviews that give a ton of background and context.
Being Scotlandish I have to say, that was some good accents you did there. 'Oan yerselves!
I am American and born in 91 and seen this 100s of times by 2000 and it was a staple of my household
Saw this in the theater...back in the say SC-TV was very popular with kids my age. That was in Pennsylvania.
OMG! I watched SCTV as a kid...I'm from the states, too. I remember Ed Grimley, Count Floyd, and the rest.. After Laff-In reruns, THIS was my go-to comedy show. And I saw Strange Brew eaaaarly in the a.m. on TBS many years ago..
These guys are the best
RLM knows how to pick visual effects artists. Based on their ability to host an amazingly fun ReView episode!
It's nice seeing Jim opening up more than usual.
When this movie came out, it became our go-to movie to farm quotes from with my friends and I. Glad to see it getting some attention.
