Episode 338: RomComs of the Century (with Teresa Delgado)

The Deucecast Movie Show continues to look at the best movies of the 21st Century, this time turning attention to their Favorite Romantic Comedies of the Century.  But can Mikey, Dave, and #TwitterlessDrEarl truly give perspective on such RomCom masterpieces like "Legally Blonde" or "Hitch"? Probably not. 
So joining the guys on the Binder & Binder Law Firm hotline is the Fangirl who turned her Fangirling into a Podcast Empire, the supergeeky, supercool, and superbusy co-host of Disney Vault Talk, Galactic Fashion, Star Wars Bookworms and Fangirls Going Rogue and more... Friend of the Show Teresa Delgado!

First up, a look at all the things Teresa is doing, including her podcasts and projects, opinions on the latest Star Wars news, what's next for Disney Vault Talk, and some other great discussion. Plus, her recommendations on the best Star Wars books

Then, diving into the cinematic romance, the crew lists their favorite RomComs released from Jan 1, 2000 to.. well, yesterday. 

Dave gives his defense of pre-crazy Amanda Bynes, the Greek comedy "My Life in Ruins", and more love for Amy Adams. #TwitterlessDrEarl discusses movies that may or may not be a RomCom, like "The Lobster" or "Wall*E", and being "Knocked Up".  Mikey spills on his favorite tennis romance, Jack Black's Kathleen Turner Overdrive, and being "Down with Love". And Teresa is all about "What a Girl Wants" and the chemistry between Tom Hanks & Julia Roberts.

Episode 263: Valentine's Pink (ft J-Kauf!)

Love is in the air, but there are some techie issues in this episode, so just be forewarned.

Mikey, d$ and Pinky celebrate the time of love with a Valentine's Day themed episode!  And what better way to celebrate love for you, the audience, then to invite in Wit Stillman fan, Terance Malick Apologist and Film Historian, world renowned cardiologist Dr Earl!

And then, for a voice from the fairer side, a call is given to Friend of the Show Jennifer "The Delightful Life" Kaufman!

First up, a round robin version of Rotten Tomatoes, the Potpourri edition.  Everyone comes up with a movie and the critics score is predicted.  Kate & Leopold!  Crossroads! Even a bare bottomed Ned Beatty classic!

Then, the Top Five Romantic Chemistry Duos in Film.... actors & actresses in films that provided the best, sweetest, cutest pairings in cinema.  Duos like Meg & Billy... or Meg & Tom... maybe Swayze and Jenn... Mike and Kathy, romancing the stone... Joaquin and ScarJo in some techno-love...

Finally, the results of Valetine's Pink.  Which love stories assigned to Pinky had his heart all a flutter?  Maybe Robert Downey Jr in Two Girls & a Guy?  Or d$'s pick of My Life in Ruins?  Or maybe the Kaufman romcom of Bridget Jones Diary?  Or how about some dreck that Friend of the Show Jeremy Burgess picked?  Maybe Broadcast News, or even Kissing a Fool?

Episode 235: Summer Lovin'

It's hot outside, like walking through hot soup, but the podcast is cool enough to replace your AC.  Not sure what that means, but this episode is awesome, so whatever.

Mikey, Pinky & Dave bring in Terrence Malick Apologist and Film Historian Dr Earl, and on the Subway Fresh Take Hotline, it's The Delightful Life host and friend of the show Jennifer Kaufman, the girl with the voice so nice that she only comes on so the guys can hear her talk about anything.

First up, a round of IMDb, reading the list of films and naming the actors... including the not-famous-then but famous-now actor who played "Orderly".

Then, its the favorite Summer Films... films that are set in and around summer -- road trips and summer camps and sport camps and vacations and even possibly movies set the night of high school graduation (which technically is summer, even though it just started)

The political incorrectness of "Heavyweights"... Michael Ian Black & Bradley Cooper getting married... the Nancy McKeon summer film that Dave misses... the love of Lucy Deakins... who in the studio are the Rotten Tomato critics and who is the audience... a classic Nia Vardalos vacation film... Jennifer Kaufman's love of "My Big Fat Greek Wedding"... and Dude Kaufman's love of the same... the difference in "American History X" and "American Graffiti" and which one is a better date movie... the brilliance of Jason Segel and the rapidity of Jesse Eisenberg... lamenting Lindsey Lohan... female reboots of all male classics... A Where Are They Now? with the cast of "Summer School"...

And if a film that takes place over the course of the fall, winter and spring, can you call it a "Summer Film"?  Jennifer Kaufman defends, while Dave gives her the facts.

And the love of "My Life in Ruins" and the audience who does love it.
