Episode 690: The Top Ten of 1994

The summer series continues, as Dave, Mikey, and #XLessDrEarl finally gets to talk about a 90s year! 

Leave it to new-to-the-show Galaxy Joe from Rule the Galaxy Podcast to bringing in one of the most heralded years in the 90s - the year that brought John Travolta back... that had Jimmy Cameron making non blue people movies... had Tim Robbins crawling through a 500 yard tunnel of poop... left Ben Stiller as the responsible one... made Michael Keaton yelling "stop the presses!"... and Natalie Portman being 12. 

It was over 30 years ago, but gives us quite a fantastic top ten.

Episode 575: that reflicktion you do!

It's Springtime and it's movie time, and its ReFlicktions time! Once a month the guys come together to discuss... or "ReFlick'ed" if you will... the movies they've seen in the last several weeks. Mikey, Dave, and #TwitterlessDrEarl each have a handful of films both in theaters ("65!") and streaming ("Pit Fighter"!) and new ("Creed III"!) and old ("Bad Influence"!) and even another Bond in d$'s ongoing Bond Watch.

But sometimes, you need an extra voice to add to the conversation, so we welcome back to the show, Steve "The Voice" Glosson! 

Everyone loved "Jesus Revolution", the reaction was mixed on "Cocaine Bear", Mikey has a Scott Adkins obsession, d$ is after Anya Taylor Joy movies, Glosson is revisiting Mission: Impossible, and #TwitterlessDrEarl has finally gone all in on The Wick. 

Plus a whole lot more in the films reviewed and discussed, and you can find them here (at time of recording): 

• Jesus Revolution (in theaters)
• Cocaine Bear (in theaters)

Episode 561: 3 Podcast Men (the guest host show)

While Mikey has missed maybe 2 episodes, and d$ has missed maybe 3 eps, and #TwitterlessDrEarl has only been a regular for the last few hundred eps, now for the first time in almost 12 years and 560 episodes, neither Mikey nor d$ nor #TwitterlessDrEarl are on the show itself.

Instead, three show icons, three show legends, three show fan favorites, three show regulars take over the show... Aussie Nate, Spawn of Ryfun, aka, Lil G, and Roth from Wyoming pick up the reigns as the regular guys are out of action for the week (re: d$ is in Orlando and Mikey is watching movies and #TwitterlessDrEarl just likes the weekend off) and after firing off a quick round of Rotten Tomatoes, they dive right into Top Five Recasted Characters.

From a super spy to a dark knight to a space smuggler to Old Kris Kringle himself, Lil G, Aussie, and Roth serve up their fave characters that were redone even better.

Also, Garrison has never seen Christmas Vacation, and hates Ernest movies, so he will likely not ever be asked back.

First up, Dave, Mikey, and #TwitterlessDrEarl invite in the legend, the famous, the infamous, award winning Voice of Cobb County, Scotty Ryfun!  They play a spirited round of Denzel, then turn their attention to the Top Five at Hand.

Episode 327: Sci Fi Fantasy Films of This Century

It's a couple of guys who keep their heads in the clouds and gaze at the stars, so it's only fitting that Dave and Mikey discuss Fantasy and Science Fiction films. But since #Twitterless Dr Earl can't be found (he's doing a lint removal procedure from the naval of poor kids in Long Island), who better to invite onto the show than the TechnoRetro Dads  themselves, Shazbazzar and Jedi Shuuuuuuuuaaaaahhhhhh....

And the gang jumps right in, counting off their lists of what they consider to be their favorite fantasy/sci-fi films of this century... that's really anything released on January 1st, 2000, until... well, you know, today. Or the day of the recording, anyway.

The TRD's also give their take on "Ready Player One" before diving into the Top Ten, then the guys discuss at length -- and at depth -- the legacy and their adoration of films like "Children of Men" and the newest "Star Trek" and newer "Star Wars" films and Shaz defends "John Carter" while Dave defends "Lady in the Water".

Its a great two hours of sci fi fantasy fun and movie love!

Episode LXIX: The Deucecast Saga: Podclipse

Welcome back... Hurricane Rhett!  We bring him in from time to time just to improve ratings, so hopefully it works!

We kick off the show as usual, with some Old Towne Chocolate Fudge Soda and some Old Towne Black Cherry Creme Soda... and its just as bad as you think it would be.

Michael Clarke Duncan, 1957 - 2012.  We salute you, John Coffey--like
the drink, only spelled different.  Rest in Peace.

Our week in awesome comes up, as we discuss topics like the NFL season... new college football rules... Hurricane Rhett's old dog's fate... Mikey's current dog's future fate... George Lucas's career and his housing... what happens if you live in a George Lucas owned apartment... the delay of Avatar at Disney World... why Star Wars would be a better fit... why Star Wars will be remembered longer than Harry Potter... Jim Carrey's new villain role... Mel Gibson's new villain role... Eddie Murphy's new TV role... the upcoming Paul Rudd/Leslie Mann movie "This is 40"... another John Williams discussion (Mikey thinks he is a no-talent hack) and of course, Demi Lovato...

Right off the bat, we drink a little... thats drinking some Vitamin Fizz, by the way, which is better than you might think.  Jumping into the week, Mikey discusses his zoo adventures, Drew talks about his crazy weekend travels and d$ has more sleepy trouble with caring for an infant.  We also riff on The B in Apt 23... Veep... the upcoming Hatfield & McCoys... James Doohan in Space... GI Joe's release date... and does Superman II hold up anymore? 

Wil Wheaton becomes a topic of discussion, somehow... as does the trouble with Seal's lyrics... Cub Scouts, Webelos and Eagle Scouts... the trouble with Facebook and its possible legacy (AOL, anyone?)... and in a Nerd Alert, we answer the question, which is a higher ranking:  A Star Trek Ensign, or a Star Trek Junior Grade?

You've Got Mail... Phenomenon... and The Crow.  And in a "how did we get here", we go from Nelson to Nilsson to a Bible Study highjacking of "Peaceful Easy Feeling" by The Eagles.

Mikey also does the unthinkable, and craps all over John Williams and his music.  Because the themes to Jaws, Indiana Jones, Star Wars and Forrest Gump sound exactly alike.  Right?  Right.

And next week, we welcome in Hurricane Rhett as we discuss The Big Three Worst Acting Performance Ever... Mikey has more crappy music... and Part II of The Buried Treasure Americana Series... thats all on The Deucecast Episode LVII:  Indiana Dave & the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull!
