Episode 523: The REAL Best Picture Nominees 2001

The award season is on the fast track to the big one, the Academy Awards, and it was time to revisit some of the previous Oscar seasons... specifically, the Best Picture nominees from years gone by.

And to accomplish this feat of movie strength, Mikey, Dave, and #TwitterlessDrEarl bring in Mr Independent himself, Jeremy Burgess!  

First, Burgey's take on movies you should see, both in a theater and streaming... then 2002 Oscar talk. 


Essentially... there were only five nominees for Best Picture. Within a decade, they would allow up to ten films to be nominated.  So it's our job to come up with our own lists of the other five that should have also been nominated... note: we CANNOT remove any of the existing films, we can only add to the list. 

And at the end of the show, the crew all submit one film each that should have been nominated, then a quick discussion on the final film, to come up with a Deuce Best Picture nominee list.

The existing nominees are Gosford Park, In the Bedroom, Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Rings, and Moulin Rouge!, with A Beautiful Mind winning... so the crew asks, "Did they get it right?"

Finally, Jeremy gives his take on the assigned Burgentine's Day films... 

And all through the episode, the nominations for the 9th annual Deucie Awards are announced! 

Movies discussed and where to find them: 

  • Ali (Netflix; Hulu)
  • Amelie (not available)
  • A Beautiful Mind (for rental)
  • Black Hawk Down (HBO Max)

Episode 316: ReFlicktions, Nominations & The Burgeler

Mikey and Dave kick off the show by not only introducing Friend of the Show, Wit Stillman Fan, Lover of Brie (Allison, Larsen & the cheese), Terrence Malick Apologist, Film Historian and Nobel Prize of Medicine Nominee of Clinical Skin Abrasion, The Estimable Twitterless Dr. Earl, but also on the Binder & Binder Hotline, the guys welcome in Mr Independent Jeremy Burgess.

Burgess gives us the first real addition of "The Burgeler" (its Burge-Ler, not Burgel-er, by the way), where like the departed "Valentine's Pink" from year's past, Burgess gives his review of four films assigned to him by the guys in The Deucecast Movie Show.  Movies include "Strictly Ballroom" (assigned by Dave)... "Harold & Maude" (assigned by Friend of the Show Remodeling Clay Shaver)... "Broadcast News" (assigned by Dr. Earl)... and "The Fountain" (forced upon Burgess by Mikey).

Then, to the ReFlicktions, where the guys talked about such frivolity as Dr Earl's medical rage... Remodeling Clay's ego for winning all of these things... Sam Rockwell's fine line... Margot Robbie looking too good for her movie... the American Treasure Wes Studi... Dave and Earl discuss racism uncomfortability... the argument for/against the "show movies in theaters for Oscar consideration" rules... and when Mikey doesn't pay attention...  

Plus, sprinkled throughout the show are the nominations for the 5th Annual Deucie Awards!  

Movies Discussed include:  The Fountain... Strictly Ballroom... Broadcast News... Harold & Maude... Three Billboards Outside of Ebbing, Missouri... The Shape of Water... I Tonya... The Disaster Artist... The Phantom Thread... Hostiles.... Mr. Roosevelt... Columbus... Get Out... Happy Death Day... Mudbound... Icarus... A Futile & Stupid Gesture... Brawl in Cell Block 99... Paddington 2... Ingrid Goes West... One of Us... Miss Sloane... Molly's Game... Pilgrimage... The Lost City of Z... Rough Night... Barista... The Post... The Darkest Hour... The Cloverfield Paradox...

Episode 213: The 2016 Oscar Prediction Show


It's our annual Oscar show!  Here is the official Oscar ballot, and our Oscar predictions... follow along with the latest episode of The Deucecast Movie Show, as Mikey, Dave & Pinky make their choices.  The one who gets the most right during Sunday's awards gets to pick one very bad, very obnoxiously horrible film for the other two to watch.  
This is why Pinky & Dave had to watch "The Hillz", starring Paris Hilton, last year.  Let's not let this happen again. 
Plus, a little bonus show as Dave, Mikey & Pinky highlight the Deucie nominations and make predictions for the main categories.
