Episode 684: The Top Ten of 1984

The year is 1984... Mikey and d$ were kids... Dr Earl was a young dude. And Aussie Nate wasn't even born... but it was a very, very good year! 

Its the second week of our Summer Series as we look back at many years past, and the greatest movies from those years... and today, we invite in Friend of the Show Aussie Nate, who picks the year 1984. 

When we did our Greatest Movie Year Tourney back in the day, 1984 was the winner and this year is stacked!

From fake band mockumentarys to movies that are pretty much be canceled to Indy trilogy to Axel Foley's first appearance to Daniel Sahn's first appearance (and did Johnny actually win? or cheat?) and the trouble with not feeding them after midnight, plus multiple Toxie movies and a neverending franchise, and the truth about Scotty Schwartz and Kidco... 

Next week!  2000!!

Episode 683: The Top Ten of 2006

The summer is here!  We are but two weeks away from the official summer equinox, but it already feels hot and sassy outside. 

This summer, The Deucecast Movie Show is looking back at years prior to the show's beginning. As we approach our 700th episode, leading up to it we will be doing a series of Top Tens -- each one focusing in on a particular year.

Mikey, d$, and #XLessDrEarl invite in Friend of the Show Garrison Ryfun, and G has picked The Year of Our Lord 2006.

We run through the year - the bigger news stories of the year, the top ten films, the Oscar noms and winners, even the Razzie Award highlights, plus where we exactly were in 2006... Mikey and Dave freshly married (though not to each other... not yet anyway), Dr Earl building hospitals in the Baja California dessert, and Garrison being the only kid in KinderCare who was familiar with Bong Joon Ho. 

Enjoy the show this week, and check back next week when we dive into... 1984!
