The Episode with the Sidekicks

Welcome back to the best podcast concerning movies with hosts named P!nky, Mikey and d$ that you will hear today... NAY... this week.  Maybe even this month.  Dare I say... ever?  Especially since Dr. Earl is back up in the hizzy again.

The guys are back in the Nic Cage Studio on the Deuce Digital Network, kicking off the summer with a great show full of movie news and fun.  Right away, Mikey starts with Nipp News, covering Harrison Ford's leg break, plus the DC film lineup, including the projected date for the Affleck stand-alone Batman film.

ReFlicktions, becoming our biggest and most popular segment, takes on movies we've seen in the last month, including reviews of Million Dollar Arm... Spy Kids: Game Over... Edge of Tomorrow... Maleficent... 22 Jump Street... How To Train Your Dragon 2... and more...

Plus, a look at the four hour documentary, Never Sleep Again, chronicling the Nightmare on Elm Street film series, plus P!nky gives his reviews on classic films like 2001: A Space Odyssey, A Clockwork Orange and American History X.

In our Pretty in Pink segment, he also gives us his take on the classic Cannonball Run!

After revisiting a few modern films, the guys discuss the experience at the recent Alabama Phoenix Festival.

Friend of the Show and former co-host Matt joins in for a rousing game of Box Office Mojo as they take on Tom Cruise movies, then finally dive into the Big Five Topic--favorite sidekicks in films.

Garth Algar from Wayne's World... Abe from Blade... Fozzie Bear... Kronk from The Emperor's New Grove... Dean from License to Drive... and so many more names tossed into the mix... plus, is Silent Bob an actual sidekick to Jay, or are they equal?  Some of the guys agree... some don't.

Finally... some change over as the guys give their Top Five of the Year (so far), and then assign films for viewing... d$ will watch Steal and Escape from Tomorrow, while Mikey will see the doc Superheroes and Detachment, and P!nky has to catch My Bodyguard and 1992's Dracula.

So many movies, so little time... enjoy the episode, and look out for our Alabama Phoenix Festival episodes to be released soon!
