#XLessDrEarl is on assignment in Zamunda, so we invite in a Podcast Legend, the Podfather of Geek Out Loud - the one and only Steve Glosson. 

Glosson, Mikey, and d$ do a little catch up here and there, then discuss the actors and actresses from the Justice League - Henry Cavill, Willem Dafoe, Gal Gadot, Jeremy Irons, Benaffleck, and more -- all with suggestions and our takes on their movies you should see (Arrival! The Town! Dune!) and movies you should totally skip (Heart of Stone... Eragon... Argylle...)

Episode 670: The 2025 Spring Movie Preview

The winds of March are upon us, and Spring is right around the corner... as is the latest Movie Preview!

Mikey has put forth hours and hours and hours of time copying and pasting, and now he, d$, and #XLessDrEarl are presenting all the movies you will want to see over the next few months!

First, a quick recap of the Academy Awards... what they got right, what they got wrong, and did Zoe Saldana earn her trophy?

Then, the birthday movies of 2020, 2015, 2010 and more -- as we enter the Five Years since the world (and theaters) shut down.  And even a mention of Baby Secret of the Lost Legend.

Paul Rudd killing a unicorn... Statham back to do what Statham does... Alejandro and the No Bueno Day... Not that Havoc, this new Havoc... and does anyone actually like Blake Lively?

Over 60 films are previewed!

Finally, the Deucecast Movie Show has crossed the Rubicon... the Podicon... the RubiPod? of 600, and now Mikey, d$, and #XlessDrEarl moves on!

Sometimes the topics come to the guys easy, especially when they fit around the guest so perfectly -- hence, we finally discuss our Top Five Fave Movie Coaches, as we bring on a returning fave and now a head coach in his own right, Clay Shaver! 

Clay lets everyone know where he's been, and how he's now a high school basketball coach. 

Then, some birthday movies, letting the world know exactly how old movies like Scream 2, Cop & a Half, and Soylent Green are... and of course, Ladybugs. RIP Jonathan Brandis.

A rousing game of Denzel is up next, with a surprise winner in dominating fashion.

Then, the Top Five Movie Coaches -- naturally you'd think football, or just even any sport, but leave it to dear ol' Mikey to make it weird. Plus, great discussions on this generation's "Caddyshack"... Tom Hanks being a great drunk... Gene Hackman and Jack Nicholson are old... and what might be the best bowling movie not named The Big Lebowski...

Episode 564: The 2022 Lumps of Coal

Like the Masters, its a tradition unlike any other... the Annual Lumps of Coal episode.

Out of the dozens of films The Deucecast Movie Show loved, out of the hundreds of movies the Deucecast Movie Show liked... there are a handful of movies -- or in #TwitterlessDrEarl's case, tropes, patterns, directors and the like -- that just didn't land... or maybe landed with a crash and burn in a bad way.

Hopping straight to it, the guys rail on how hard it is to muck up a great cast and make a terrible movie (yet Hollywood finds a way)... when the crimes of the future becomes a crime in making a film in the present... when Jessica Chastain tries 355, but delivers a Zero... when Benaffleck Ana de Armes' his marriage... the Jim Cameron movie that won't end... and Zac Efron flames out big time.

Plus, this year's winner of "The Movie that Broke Mikey".

• Avatar Way of Water (in theaters)

Episode 530: The Unbearable Deucecast of Massive ReFlicktions

Spring has sprung, Easter has eclipsed us, May is moving in, and now that 2021 has been discarded like an empty paper plate that once had a large piece of cake but is now empty because Dave and Mikey were at that birthday party eating that cake while #TwitterlessDrEarl stood by with a diabetes monitor and... what.

Time for ReFlicktions. 

Among the discussion... why Morbius is like an Autism breakfast... Jason Segal needs more laughs... Ben Affleck and his affairs... The one little problem with Ten Little Indians... Mikey's kids fangirling over the YouTube stars... revisiting Easter movies... Life in a Bubble...

Episode 516: The January ReFlicktions Part Two

The episode from last week was just so long, the only answer was to turn it into two shows over two weeks. This is not an achievement, this is more indicative of at least two of the three hosts of the show really needing to get out and experience life, instead of just watching every movie in existence.

As it stands, this episode picks up right back where last week left off...

Next, a longer discussion on the recent release of the four hour Zack Snyder's Justice League, how it's better, some of the differences, and thoughts on the Josstice League by comparison.

Then, an episode long round of See This Not That, looking at 15 members of the Zack Snyder's Justice League cast and picking for each a movie to "See This" and then a movie to "Not That", from JK Simmons to Robin Wright to Diane Lane to Jason Mamoa (and even a little Jason MaNO-AH). And of course, Dave's girlfriend, Amy Adams.

Episode 439: Patriotic Roles

Clay Shaver calls in from the Mitt in Michigan, discussing the weather, food, and a little Michigan food lore. Plus, a little prognostication on the Michigan football season.

And then, Spy Films. Top Five faves from each of the crew, including Jack Ryan movies... Jason Bourne movies... James Bond movies... Classic Cary Grant... RomCom'ing with Chris Pine and Tom Hardy... and Mikey's fave Ben Affleck special needs performance.  And a Roger Moore movie discussion.

PLUS... the movies Mikey will be watching on 2019's MikeTober!! 

Episode 377: The Best of the Worst (2010s)

In an episode that can best describe the podcast here, Best of the Worst definitely can include Mikey, Dave and #TwitterlessDrEarl... and what better way to discuss below average and mediocrity that our good friend from way cross Georgia, in a little town called Vinings (or wherever), The Spawn of Ryfun, aka, Garrison gets on the hotline.

New theme song in tow, he's in to youth up the place, in the absence of the forlorn Pinky, still stuck in a Chinese gulag (though it might be Thai, there is no evidence)

After playing a round of the Percentages, including finding out the highest -- and lowest -- Rotten Tomatoes scores from a bevy of actors, including Samuel L Jackson... Bradley Cooper... and even Brie Larson.

Then, its onto the countdown, where the guys rank their favorite low score Rotten Tomatoes films. Dandy movies starring the aforementioned Sam Jackson... and Kevin James... The Rock... BatFleck... and much more!

So sit back and enjoy the show, riffing on how much they love some truly awful films from 2010 until present day!

Episode 351: The Affleck Damon Tourney

The Big Bracket looms in a few years maybe. But until then, Dave, Mikey and #TwitterlessDrEarl have to decide on the best roles featuring two huge actors: Ben Affleck and Matt Damon.

Thusly, the Affleck vs Damon bracket is born.

The guys seek to define the boundaries of the Affleckanaissance and what movies are included... the importance of Armageddon's opening credits... Ben's directing chops... Damon's villain roles... saving Matt Damon from being stranded all over... the poker revolution from Rounders... rethinking the Ocean Movies... Damon as an action hero... #TwitterlessDrEarl saying "He talked me into it"... how Good Will Hunting became the movie we know... Midnight Run inspirations... and the new website photos

And how did Jerry Maguire win?

A round of Box Office Mojo with a new twist transpires, #AllTheChris, and then a great gob of thanks to Ryan Gosling's agent... to Ridley Scott... to Marvel... to NetFlix... to Soderburgh... and even more!

Episode 259: The (Not) 2016 Top Ten

The year of 2016 produced some great films, but there were many seen by Mikey, Dave and Pinky that they considered great as well.  So while the guys are still finishing up their 2016 Best Of lists, they also wanted to mention the other films not in 2016 that were seen in 2016 but weren't from 2016, but were seen in 2016.  Capeche?  Good.
