A new day has dawned, a new year is come, a new time has entered our lives... it is the Year of our Lord, 2013.  And Mikey and d$ are here to present the best comedy you'll hear on Wednesday nights on the interweb containing the words "the" and "deucecast" in the title, hosted by dudes named Mikey & d$.  Guaranteed.

Kicking off the new year and the new episode, the guys dive in with their holiday ups and downs...

Ep LXXVIII: Podcast on 34th Street

It's the downhill slope to Christmas!  We kick off the Christmas season with a quick one-shot salute to 90s music, including Mikey playing a bunch of crap no one has heard of and no one cares about, and d$ playing some awesome music that you will love to hear over and over!

We dish on your odds of winning that Powerball Lottery.. drink some Jic Jac Blue Raspberry Soda... discuss our favorite sodas of the past, like Coke II and Apple Slice and Tropical Pepsi... Bo Jackson's venture into the pie business... and what we would do with 70 million dollars...

The 90s music features such tripe as AIR... Spacehog... and Supergrass... and such awesomeness as Inner Circle... Sheryl Crow... Blind Melon... and d$'s favorite Mariah Carey song of 1994...

More topics of conversation include Disney's new Jack Sparrow attraction... there are Star Wars and rumors and Star Wars yet to come... Waterworld's remake (?!)... the casting on Days of Future Past... Joseph Gordon Levitt's new role, maybe... Girl Meets World... some movie called "Take This Waltz"... Refliktions on movies like "Killer Elite"... "The Grey"... "Rio"... and d$'s review of "Immortals".

You know those movies that you see when you are flipping channels, and no matter where they are in the movie you'll stop and watch it from that point until the end?  That's our Big Three!  Movies we watch when we see them on tv... movies with Seagal... Titanic... Die Hard 2 - Die Harder... and of course, Nic Cage is well represented.

And lest we forget... Demi Lovato's inspiring Tweet of the Week...

Next week... Mikey starts his Christmas Music Exodus... and our Big Three Anti-Christmas Films! That's on The Deucecast Episode LXXIX:  A Podcast Carol

Episode XXXIX: Pod Free Or Cast Hard

As we approach 40... that's shows, not ages, we celebrate our successes and thank you, the listener(s) for your loyalty.  But, before we get to show 40... we have to do show 39... that's Episode XXIX:  Pod Free or Cast Hard!

We welcome in Drew, our former SuperFan and now one of our rotating co-hosts, as he brings in his love of Guns N'Roses and... well, his love of Guns N'Roses.

The week discussed includes Mikey's Coke habit... d$ helping with tornado relief... Drew's love of Team Trivia at local hangouts... thoughts on "Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy"... thoughts on "Chinese Democracy"... Liam Neeson and "The Grey"... thoughts on "Red Tails" fails... a great Demi Lovato watch... and a bonus watch, as we keep up with Seal!  Of course, so much more.

Kind of like a show prep bible.  Not THE
Bible, mind you, but it is a good resource.

Mikey pulls out a new Music Minute with some band that sounds like Shake Weight or something, while d$'s Saddest Songs Ever countdown continues with Celine!  Expose's last nit!  With The Miami Sound Machine!  with Mariah, when she was so great!  And some info on a legendary Phil Collins tune--plus, our first Mikhail Baryshnikov's mention on The Deucecast.


New game!  We play the first ever "Reel or Unreel" using Leonard Maltin's Movie Guide! And our Big Three takes on movies that we have never seen, but probably should have seen by now, including some classic flicks, some newer ones (Vegas, baby!) and Drew's stunning revelation that he has never seen... well, you just have to hear it.  Its something that left Mikey and d$ speechless for at least three seconds each.

The Roundtable gives up a spirited discussion on Oscar Nominations... the worthiness of "Bridesmaids" and more specificallly, Melissa McCarthy... George Lucas on Oprah... fans of Sho-biz Pizza... "Troll 2" and its followings... and more docs watched.

Next week!  More Mike's Music Crap... the Buried Treasure returns.. the Saddest Songs Ever continues, getting closer to the Top Ten with Whitney!  Classic Bill Withers!  Even some Blessid Union of Souls!  And on our Big Three, we discuss sequels... more importantly, "The Biggest Drop Offs from One Sequel to the Next"  That's all on The Deucecast Episode XL:  The Podshank Redemption...
