Episode 413: The Not 2019 Top Ten

It's that season of the Deucecast Movie Show, when the series of episodes look back on the previous year... in this case, 2019. But Mikey, Dave, and #TwitterlessDrEarl not only watched dozens of films from 2019, they also watched movies from previous years as well!

First up, Birthday Movies, as a review of theatrical releases from January of 2015, 2010, 2005 and five years back and back and back.  Who knew that Blackhat was five years old? Or that My Dog Skip turns 20 years old? And the Falcon turns 35, as well as his buddy, The Snowman.

Then, the crew invites in crowd fave, Indie Autuer himself, Jeremy Burgess, for a little movie making chit-chat, some clarification about what the Best Boy actually does, and then the favorite films seen in 2019 that weren't actually from 2019.

Movies like A Star is Born, or at least some version of it... Burgess gives Soderburgh some love, while Dave goes all in on Baumbach... #TwitterlessDrEarl free's Solo... Dave murders a ball... Burgess attacks a block... and Mikey laments being ordinary people...

Episode 348: A Star ReFlicktion Is Born

The fall movie season is upon us, as the Oscar contenders slowly begin to roll out. And of course, the one that everyone has seen a trailer for, oh, about 73,833 times, is "A Star is Born" with Bradley Cooper and Lady Gaga.

And who better to discuss such a movie than Mikey, Dave and #TwitterlessDrEarl... or better yet, bringing in Friend of the Show, A24 megastar and independent filmmaker, Jeremy Burgess!

How Nic Cage came and gave without taking... Kevin Hart double features... the brilliance of Robin Williams... horse malarkey... Jack Black in a not-Goosebumps Goosebumps... Mikey's new Hitchcock obsession... Dave's Judy Greer disappointment... Earl's one movie...

Then, the movies selected in this year's MikeTober, assigned to Mikey to watch for the Halloween episode (dropping October 24th), featuring submissions by Dave & Earl, Burgess and Friend of the Show No Just Clay...

And finally, Burgess and Dave give their opinions on "dAve Star is Burge", where they recap the 1937, the 1954, the 1976 and 2018 versions of A Star is Born (with #Twitterless Dr Earl tossing in a thought here and there too!)
