Strange Brew
In this 1983 comedy, brothers Bob and Doug McKenzie, played by Rick Moranis and Dave Thomas, find themselves embroiled in a bizarre plot involving a brewery, mind control, and a power-hungry villain. The film is a quirky blend of slapstick humor and Canadian culture, drawing inspiration from the duo’s popular “Great White North” sketches on SCTV. While it didn’t receive any major awards, it has gained a cult following over the years. Interestingly, the movie is loosely based on Shakespeare’s “Hamlet,” adding a unique twist to its comedic narrative. For those interested, it can be viewed for free on Soap2day.
