Episode 644: My Favorite Summer... The Animation

What better way to close out an entire summer of top ten lists from across 8 different genres and 3 different movie roles than to look at the cartoons... the animated films! 

Mikey, d$, and #XLessDrEarl jump right in with a look at each of their favorite films of the hand drawn and computer created fare. As you'd expect, lots of Pixar and Disney, but a little Rankin and Bass tossed in, plus Everything is Awesome, a little Cornholio, some smart rats, and a dying robot... only if you believe... in miracles.

Episode 352: Coming of Age

Mikey and Dave take the reins in the studio, this time sans #TwitterlessDrEarl, as he's off in El Salvador Guatemala Ecuador something something to do his doctor thing. So instead the guys invite on the Binder & Binder hotline their newest Friend of the Show, super podcast host author conference coordinator cool guy Terry Weaver to discuss Coming of Age films!  Terry has much to share as they dive into birthday movies, leading into a discussion about both the majesty of Iron Eagle movies and the number of Land Before Time films.

Don Bluth comes up as a topic, as well as Hallmark movies and bad Christian cinema... more on the Land Before Time Films... Dave learns the difference in Mitch Gaylord and Jason Gedrick... Denzel gets derailed, leading to Rotten Tomatoes... and a quick Disney discussion on Imagineer McNair Wilson and the future of the parks.

Then, diving into the actual topic, the guys talk about Coming of Age films, and their own definitions of them, including films like "Dirty Dancing" and "Jerry Maguire" and "Stand By Me" and more.

Episode 294: Forgotten Childhood Movies (ft Gina Grad)

In one of the greatest "Gets" in The Deucecast Movie Show history, Dave & Mikey & Pinky invite in Gina Grad, co-host of 100.3 The Sound in LA, and "news chicks" from The Adam Carolla Show.

First up, Gina gives her almost-spot-on and more comical-than-you-would-think Gwen Stefani impression, then the guys and Gina play a round of IMDb -- starting at the bottom of an actor or actress' IMDb body of work, each movie is called out from the beginning to the current day.

Including the possible first ever utterance of the name "Gregory Hines".

Then, everyone dives into the topic for the night, movies big in the guys' (and Gina's) childhood, but are never talked about... no "Ghostbusters" or "The Goonies" or "Star Wars"... but... movies that should "Fair is fair!"... movies that feed Dave's childhood crush on Nancy McKeon, in a movie that would be horrific today... bad dinosaur graphics... weird family relations in the attic... Sandy Duncan & the glass eye... movie poster artistry... and who does Gina call "an American treasure"?

Plus Troop Beverly Hills!
Meredith Salinger vs Jami Gertz!
Keep Forgettin' The Doobie Brothers!
Mary Gross & FEDs!!
The Michael J Fox oeuvre!
Gina Grad's Solarplexes!!
Vintage Dabney Coleman!!
And Gina shrieks over Scott Schwartz!!!

Oh, and "The Peanut Butter Solution".
