Episode 303 - Overstuffed Movie Delights

You'd think that with discussing long movies, Dave, Mikey & Pinky would make it a long episode. Ironically, it only takes them an hour to tell you about their favorite movies that clock in at 150 minutes or more.

And what discussion about being long winded would be complete without the long winded Film Historian himself, the Wit Stillman fan, the Brie Lover (Allison, Larsen & the cheese), the Terrance Malick Apologist and winner of the Nobel Prize for Proctology, Dr Earl.

Kicking off the episode, Birthday Movies reminds you of the fabulous films that came out in previous Novembers like Fred Claus (2007) and Starship Troopers (1997) and Piranha II (1982) and of course Dave's 50th favorite film of all time, The Bodyguard!

Plus, a great reminder of Dr Earl's official diagnosis concerning the death of Whitney Houston.

Then, a rousing game of Denzel, with names like Harrison Ford and Martin Starr and Sam Waterston and of course, Denzel Washington!

Then, the Top Five takes on "overstuffed" movies, as in, those movies running 2 and a half hours or longer.  The crew gives movies ranging from 153 minutes to a whopping 295 minutes... and if you watched all 20 of these films straight in a row, you'd be watching for almost 65 straight hours.

Overstuffed films like Magnolia... Heat... Short Cuts... a Lord of the Rings film... JFK... and if you've ever wondered what is the most Inuit movie ever made, please pull up a sitting room chair to Dr. Earl's pretentious corner.

Also, Mikey's Wyatt Earp loses again to Dave's Tombstone.

And finally, America's favorite movie podcast segment featuring the musical stylings of OMD... Pretty in Pink!

The Deucecast Movie Show now begins the road to Episode 400, as we move past Ep 300 into Ep 301!  Mike, Dave and Pinky are in-studio, bringing back Friend of the Show, Wit Stillman Fan, Brie (Alison, Larsen & the cheese) Lover, Terence Malick Apologist, Film Historian #Twitterless Dr Earl!

And to kick off November and the holiday season, Friend of the Show, Delightful Guest Jennifer Kaufman calls in!

A rousing round of Chronology occurs, with categories like "Saving Private Ryan Ryan Ryan Ryan", "You Can Do EEET" and "AB-Solutely Fabulous".  Pinky dominates this game... can he keep it up?

The topic on this episode all revolves around one of the major food groups -- coffee.  Coffee scenes in movies, to be exact.  Scenes from "You've Got Mail" and "Airplane" and "Glengarry Glen Ross" and more... and Dave's spot-off impersonation of Jimmy in "Pulp Fiction"

Then, the guys pay off MikeTober, where Mikey takes on the horror movies assigned and seen this past few weeks, with Carrie, Phantasm and more. Which will be his favorite??
