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".

Episode 498: Cinematic Inspiration

The human world is definitely a mess, and life at the Deucecast is better than anything they got out dere... so come let us inspire you!

Mikey, d$, and the vaunted and legendary icon #TwitterlessDrEarl are here to bring you the some of the most inspiring films we could find, movies that lift us up, make us happy, pump us with energy and a will to live.  A little bit of vim, and a lot of vigor.

And somewhere along the way, the party is crashed by Friend of the Show Scotty Ryfun, who just randomly pops in to say hello, and ends up sticking around to give his own list!

Also discussed along the way... the career of Chris Makepeace... Mikey working on his fitness... d$ runs fast... love for Olympia Dukakis... behind the scenes on Flight 93... Eddie & Steve... more Malick from #TwitterlessDrEarl... 

Ep 486: ReFlicktions of Fire

 One thing is for certain... the longer the Deucecast guys go between ReFlicktions episodes, the longer the episode is -- and this is no different. Buckle in, kids, as Dave, Mikey, and #TwitterlessDrEarl take you on a 138 minute ride (only half as long as one of Dr Earl's movies) covering over 75 movies, several franchises, and Nic Cage's Wonderland. 

Also discussing... The Peter Rabbit oeuvre... #TwitterlessDrEarl comparing Emmas... Statham stereotypes... Dave's fave J-Law... Mikey and Ron Howard... Nic Cage & Five Nights... Mikey's new Korean obsession... Letterboxd stressing out Mikey & Dave... #TwitterlessDrEarl's 3 hour shortened film...

Episode 437: The Top 10 of the 2010s

It's another episode of The Deucecast Movie Show, this time, a very special episode. But unlike the "very special episodes" of the 80s where kids are put into uncomfortable situations, Mikey, Dave, and #TwitterlessDrEarl pay off a promise from earlier in the year.

Back in February, episodes 418 and 419, Burgess joined the team to do two "Decade By Genre" shows, giving the top three of multiple categories, with intentions of doing a full Top Ten of the 2010s. Then, as you may have guessed, the world went crazy then shut down, and as the guys went to the four corners of the wind to do the show, the topic got shelved.

Finally, however, The Top 10 of the 2010s is here!

First up, the return of Birthday Movies, with everything from Minions to Crimson Tide to Animalypics to Psycho all celebrating release anniversaries, then a quick round of the Rotten Tomatoes Game, dedicated to the recently passed and prolific director Joel Schumacher.

And then, the list that took ten years to make -- any movie released at 12:01am on Jan 1, 2010 to 11:59pm on Dec 31, 2019 -- and the lists are all over the place -- comic book movies, action movies, missionary dramas, Nolan, Scorcese, Garland, Fincher, and much more. Great conversation about films that are talked about and beloved from the last ten years.

Here's where to find movies discussed, at current time of recording:

• American Hustle (FX Now)
• Avengers Infinity War (Disney+)
• Batman Forever (HBO Max)
• Birdman (rental)
• Blade Runner 2049 (rental)
• Captain America Civil War (Disney+)
• Dunkirk (rental)
• Ex Machina (Netflix)
• The Guest (Netflix)
• A Hidden Life (rental)
• Hell or High Water (Netflix)
• Inception (Netflix)
• Lady Bird (Netflix)
• Liberal Arts (SlingTV)
• Logan (FX Now; DirecTV)
• Mad Max Fury Road (Fubo; Syfy)
• The Master (Netflix)
• Moneyball (Starz)
• Moonrise Kingdom (DirecTV)
• Parasite (Hulu)
• Rogue One: A Star Wars Story (Disney+)
• Silence (Popcorn Flix)
• Silver Linings Playbook
• Sing Street (rental)
• The Social Network (Netflix)
• Spotlight (IMDb TV)
• The Tree of Life (HBO Max)
• Uncut Gems (Netflix)
• Wind River (rental)

Episode 393: Top Five Jennifers With Two Jennifers

Days after D23 -- and the assurance that the Deucecast crew's predictions came true -- what better way to follow up than for Mikey and Dave to bring in more epic guests.  Of course #TwitterlessDrEarl... but then, the return of two of our favorites.

The Jennifers both call in, that being Kaufman and Novotny, for more frivolity, mayhem and hilarity to ensue!  First up, a brand new game called ENSEMBLE, calling out the movies with huge casts.

And then, the main discussion... top five Jennifers in film. Characters, actresses, movies, any Jennifer, Jenny, Ginny, Ginnifer or anyone J-Lo or J-Law you can think of.

Much fun, much laughter, and a great episode with great voices.  And Michael.

Episode 319: Beirut in the 80s (The Spring Preview)

Just a small crew in The Deucecast Studios, and Mikey and Dave take an hour and check out the next few months of Spring Cinema.

Non Madea Tyler Perry movies... excitement over Avengers... excitement over Hurricane Heist... seeing The Rock in everything... and Solo talk

Previews include Death Wish, Red Sparrow, A Quiet Place, Solo: A Star Wars Story, Deadpool 2, Rampage, Ready Player One, Pacific Rim Uprising, Love Simon and many, many more. 

Episode 232: PinkFlicktions

In the bowels of the Magic City Con (re: an hijacked side office room), Mikey, Pinky & Dave come together to do a bonus ReFlicktions ep, this time featuring all the movies Pinky didn't get to chat about in the last few episodes.

Topics include... The lack of songs that are written directly for movies now... liking James Gunn... the making of (and the crap that is) Warcraft... Pinky's Tom Hanks List... Nic Cage's bad southern accent... more Apocalypse talk... Pinky's Marvel talk... and much more...

Episode 228: Forget Everything You Think You Know... A Marvel-ous Discussion

Forget Everything You Think You Know!!!!  A few weeks back, after the debacle that was Batman Vee Superman Dawn of Justice, the movie guys had a long discussion on the good (not much) and bad (much) on DC movies.

With Pinky out on location filming his first movie, Dave and Mikey welcome in friend of the show, Terrence Malick Apologist and Film Historian Dr Earl, and welcome back to the studio the Rantmaster Extraordinaire Hurricane Rhett to discuss Marvel movies.

After Birthday Movies (Cannonball Run is how old?!), the group dives in discussion topics like...

• The total rundown of all main Marvel films since 1986's Howard the Duck
• Fox Studios problem with X-Men
• Which X-Men can carry a movie, and who would fail
• The Fassbender to McKellen problem
• Jennifer Lawrence mailing it in
• Sony's Spiderman dilemma
• What has been with Spidey and what could have been 
• Sony and Disney Marvel working together
• Possible recasting of RDJ and Chris Evans
• The test that is Dr. Strange
• Marvel's approaches to the movies 
• #SoWhiteAvengers
• The future movies coming up 
• The Marvel TV (Daredevil, Jessica Jones) melding into the cinematic universe
• Brie Larson as Captain Marvel

Also, with some questions of Al Gore's Interwebs, the topic turns to what Marvel should have done differently... who should have been the original Sue Storm in 2005... the future of Inhumans and Mutants... and what the heck a CTI is...

Enjoy this lively discussion of where Marvel movies have been, where they are now and where they are going! 

Episode 227: The Mount Rushmore of Actresses

Mikey, Dave and Pinky return for another rousing rendition of the best movie podcast you'll listen to when you are listening to this one!  In episode 219, the podcast guys gave you their choices of favorite actors of all time.

But first and foremost, the Rotten  Tomatoes game, featuring movies with some of the most often talked about ingenues of the cinematic cinema.... and that includes Kristen Stewart and a rare appearance by the Coyote Ugly Girl herself!

And then, it's the Mount Rushmore of Actresses.   The favorites of the group, both in talent, in beauty, in roles and in awesome.

So listen up, and make your own list... who would be in your Mount Rushmore of Actresses?

Episode 226: Baby Mamas

Happy belated Mother's Day from Dave, Mikey, and Pinky!  Joined by Terrence Malick Apologist and Film Historian Dr Earl, the episode celebrates the movies of favorite "baby mamas".

First up, a round of The Ryan Phillippe Game, naming films from the likes of Ethan Hawke, Sean Bean, Sam Jackson and so many more.  The pressure is on and the time is fleeting!  And a Beverly Cleary rat mention!

And then... celebrating Mother's Day a few weeks late, the hosts talk about the movies that their significant others happen to love.  Mikey's wife Ashley... Dave's wife Stephanie (his wife, not Mikey's sister)... Pinky's fake girlfriend Natalie... and Dr Earl discusses his boo that may or may even be his boo when you listen to the episode, because Dr Earl still has a lot of leavin' left to do.

Episode 210: The 2016 Movie Preview (and Top 100 Review)

Two big segments on the show this week!  Mikey, Pinky & Dave have a host-filled episode with no one else in studio but Producer Tommy holding down the keyboard, monitor and brass section.  And of course, Producer Shawn, always on the Annex Couch, first to arrive and last to leave.  Thank you, Producer Shawn, for your hard work and dedication to the cause of Deucentertainment.

A little "Stay Seated // Walk Out" discussion brings us answers to the questions of "Will Quentin Tarantino actually retire after his 10th film?" and "Have we had enough of Brad & Jen?" and "Should JJ Abrams be bought for reviving a huge Marvel franchise?"

And what franchise could JJ take over that would save it from the depths of suck?

The summer movie preview takes a gander at upcoming big films and Mike, Pinky & Dave's takes on them...

Chats commence about Benedict Cumberbatch in "Dr. Strange"... "Neighbors 2" with Seth Rogen & Zac Efron... the obligation to see "Batman v  Superman: Dawn of Justice"... love for Emily Blunt in "Girl on the Train"... some Clooney film called "Money Monster"... prospects for the chick "Ghostbusters"... how Pinky HATES "Ghostbusters"... Tom Hanks latest Oscar grab... the most tongue-in-cheek Marvel film to date... Jennifer Lawrence and Hugh Jackman begin wrapping up their time in the X-Universe... the latest Da Vinci Code movie... Emma Stone & Ryan Gosling re-team... Pixar's "Finding Nemo"... Matt McConaughy in a Civil War drama... excitement for "Suicide Squad"... the mixed opinions on the new "Star Trek" films... Jeff Goldblum in "ID Resurgence"... hopes for Billy Zane in "Zoolander Eye Eye"... Disney's "Moana" & "Zootopia" and the Disney-like "Secret Life of Pets"...

Also, featuring a lengthy conversation on returning to the world of Harry Potter in "Fantastic Beasts & Where to Find Them".  Is JK Rowling doing too much?  What are the prospects for success?  Will it succeed or fail?

More thoughts on "Captain America Civil War", asking the heartbreaking question "...Captain America is fighting Iron Man?" and how massive this will be.

"Rogue One" and the label of "A Star Wars Story"... will it help?  And is Biggs Darklighter making a real appearance?

Then, the show shifts to a quick overview of the Top 100 so far... what movies will need to go in upon further review?  "Nightcrawler"?  "Thank You For Smoking"?  "Leap Year" with Amy Adams?
What movies might fall out of the lists?  Movies that are more about nostalgia like "Monty Python & the Holy Grail" or movies that are good for one viewing like "The Godfather" or movies that can just be bumped, like "Dogma".

And then movies that are too recent to count, but could easily find their way into the Top 100 lists, movies like "Mad Max Fury Road", or movies that need to move up the lists, like "Fargo".

Finally... Pinky gives the films that he thinks will make it into his new Top 100 list.  Its about 100 films long.  Stay tuned.

Episode 206: All Time Top 100... 20 through 11

It's getting ever closer, that being the All Time Top 100 favorite movies of Mikey, Pinky & d$... but first, the ten movies that lead up to it.

James Cameron gets some love with a waterlogged sci-fi film... Spielberg gets love with two films on two lists... Indiana Jones makes an appearance... Mikey has to defend really crappy movies like Dune... a great romantic comedy with a Bill Withers tune... the difference in Diehard and Diehard 2... the great music from a Daniel Day-Lewis classic... Tarantino meets Uma... Mikey gives you a few movies you can't refuse...

And the guys spend not only ten minutes on a Bryan Adams 90s tune, but also a huge Celine Dion hit from the late 90s.

Plus... hear Mikey use the phrase "F me, he cleared it!" and Pinky say, "It's a great love story! And at the end, you get to see a boat sink!"

The numbers get smaller and the movies get bigger!

Episode 203: Holiday ReFlicktions

It's another dive into the movies that we have seen over the last few weeks -- lots of reviews of movies new and old.

Plus, find out how Pinky confused Our Brand is Crisis and Jem & the Holograms... plus he watches a nerdy classic... we question the choices of Sienna Miller, the latest movies of Bradley Cooper and whether Kevin Smith should stick to what he knows...

And a huge discussion on SPECTRE and if James Bond is a character past his prime... much disagreement there is in this segment... and Dr Earl's favorite old school Bond girl... Two of the three hosts really had major issues with Hunger Games Mockingjay Part 2... Raving over Spotlight... Brie Larson's Oscar prospects... the actor that Mikey dubs as "the next Al Pacino"... the death film that Pinky had to suffer through... and can Ashley Judd actually act, or has she been faking it the whole time?

Also, we do talk about The Good Dinosaur briefly, but we encourage you to go back to Ep 202, "Fave Non Animated Family Films" to hear a full review of this movie.

And d$ has a new #1 film on his Top Five, the first change at the top since May!

Episode 152 -- The Battle of the Five ReFlicktions

Happy New Year!  Hope your Christmas was wonderful, and what better way to end your holiday season than to check our review show, also called "ReFlicktions", as we ReFlickt on the films we've watched in the last few weeks.

It's December, so our movie watching slowed down considerably, but we spend a little more time both on older favorites and current blockbusters...  in this episode, we cover...

Wet Hot American Summer... two of us love this movie, one of us just doesn't get it...

Happy Christmas... we call out Anna Kendrick again to come on our show

Varsity Blues... Pinky is introduced to the James Van der Beek classic, and whipped cream.

The Theory of Everything... stick around for my incredibly authentic Steven Hawking impersonation and for Mikey's surprise at what he himself thinks about the movie.

Horrible Bosses 2... we see it so you don't have to.

The Hunger Games: Mockingjay: Part 2: Live Die Repeat: Mockingjay"... it's the one film that I was able to watch, and I'll tell you how good it is.

Exodus: Gods & Kings"... Mikey uses three phrases for this film--"Ridiculous", "Excessodus" and "Random Casting", and then Pinky shares his love for the movie.

The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies: Live Die Repeat... In a reversal of roles, Pinky expresses his displeasure for this epic, while Mikey actually is decently satisfied.  Oh, and somehow, we relate Evangeline Lilly to Alec Baldwin.  Somehow.

Wild... Mikey tells us of Reese Witherspoon's epic turn that might make her an two time Oscar winner.

Then, all three of us give our favorite films (so far) of 2014, plus our movie assignments which include the classic Dark Crystal, the immortal Vince Vaughn/Travolta epic Domestic Disturbance and the indie film In Your Eyes.
