Episode LIII: Podcast Encounters of the Deucecast Kind

Welcome back to The Deuce... take off your shoes, have a seat, put in your earbuds and follow along to the sounds of Mikey, d$, producer Shawn and our guest Dr. Earl as we give you the Fifty Third episode of the award winning podcast, Podcast Encounters of the Deucecast Kind.  When we say "awards", its a self created award for "Best Podcast with the Word 'Deucecast' in the Title".

We kick it off with Mikey discussing food, as he ventures to Buck's Pizza.... and shows his disdain for such things like "Car Eyelashes"... Dr. Earl and d$ give their love for The Epix Channel... Producer Shawn tells us of his new ride and his new job... and we get onto even better topics like Lifetime Movie Network's new logo... the new Batman trailer... a possible "Jericho" revival on Netflix (anyone care?)... The B in Apt 23... Tom Cruise in a Van Helsing reboot... and Fox's "The Choice", complete with a Love Handle... wait, what?

Mikey also goes on a tangent about Star Wars and Disney... interesting.

Where else can you get a review of Patrick Dempsey's
career?  The Deucecast, that's where!
We call upon old movies like "Days of Thunder"... "The Parent Trap" (the LiLo one, not the Hayley one)... "Sudden Death"... and even more in ReFlicktions... plus a new twist on The Movie Game is introduced.

Another Dying with Dr. Earl segment brings us the topic of "Savant Syndrome"... Mikey's Music brings forth the final Schaeffer Crawfish Boil preview... and a Buried Treasure digs up a true movie of value and quirk, one with a very young Cameron Diaz... Courtney B. Vance... and that Penner guy from Survivor... called "The Last Supper".

And finally... our favorite 80s films, including classics like "Gremlins"... "Raiders"... "Empire"... "Abyss".. and a whole lot more!

Coming Next Week.... Mikey brings back a full report and review of The Schaeffer Crawfish Boil in his Music Minute... we'll have Drew in the house with another movie smorg... and our Big Three is our favorite movie going experiences... You'll find this and more on The Deucecast Episode LIV: Podcast of the Lost Ark!

Episode LII: The Podcast of the Traveling Pants

The boys are back, the boys are back in town... the boys are back in tow-ow-own... okay, well, the boys never left, but the important thing is, the boys showed up tonight to record The Deucecast Episode LII:  The Podcast of the Traveling Pants, with a visit from Hurricane Rhett, and a long awaited return from Producer Shawn!

Kicking things off right, we dive right into garage sales and Mikey's destruction of a family vacation by swindling a little kid to buy a jacked up VHS copy of Tron... Rhett begins his rants early with riffs on supermarket and fast food woes, mostly pretaining to those in lines who cannot seem to find the time to get their money ready... Demi Lovato is in the news again... Greys Anatomy Watch makes another appearance... Mikey brings up strong TV news... the problems with Glee and the love of Queen... Rhett's own love for "Brokeback Mountain"... d$ shares some Dreamworks Studios insight to the "Saving Private Ryan" vs "Shakespeare in Love" debacle at the Oscars... and d$ makes a teaser announcement on his own life...

Mike's Musical Crap continues with his highlight of the upcoming Schaeffer Crawfish Boil with another band no one has heard of, nor will know even after the festival is over...

Name That Crap brings forth the artistry and majesty of Joshua Kadison... Jon B... Hi-Five, who likes the way you kiss when you're playing the kissing game... and even more.  Oh, and Greg Evigan.

Our Big Three centers around TV Moms... love is given all around to the likes of Maggie Seaver... Suzanne Somers... Patricia Heaton... Jill Taylor from Home Improvement... and even Lois Griffin! 

And, with Hurricane Rhett in the house, you know not every thing will be completely PC.  Or PG.  But its always FYI.  OK? 

The Good Doc Earl joins us next week as we do a huge Big Three... our favorite 80s movies.  Says Mikey in an earlier text:  I've got 70 movies on my list.  I now have to whittle it down to a more comfortable, I dunno, 28 or so.  That's next week on The Deucecast Episode LIII:  Podcast Encounters of the Deuce Kind...

Episode L: Podcast Revolutions



Tonight, in this historic event, a happening that happens only once in the life of a podcast, an event that is so eventful, the happening events are happening in the eventful happenstance.

Mikey and d$ welcome in TWO, count 'em TWO, co-hosts this week, as Drew and Dr. Earlgood join the show as the 50th episode of The Deucecast commences.

Right outta the gate, Mikey shares his battle with Montezuma and the revenge that came with it... the dangers of WebMD... watching The Masters live... some Alison Krauss thoughts... our Easter weekend in review...

Mikey demands you go and buy some Alabama Shakes music right now (click the link below to head over to Amazon, give them ten bucks, give us a nickel and help pay for our studio renovations!), then gives us some Jane's Addiction for his continuing festival series... d$ unburies a wretched Chucky Norris film, then reburies it where it will hopefully stay... and Dr. Earl gives his weird obsession with the new Three Stooges movie (sure to be a treasure that will also need to be buried in the future)

The Big Three looks ahead to summertime, where all four guys give their most anticipated upcoming films of the summer season.  Batman, The Avengers and Ridley Scott get lots of love, as do The Expendables, and even Abe Lincoln, the Vampire Hunter.  Oh, and who wants to see "What To Expect When You Are Expecting"?  Find out.

Remember Steven Seagal Watch?  It makes a glorious return!  Some news about the former great but now drunken Scott Hall, aka Razor Ramon, aka 1/2 of The Outsiders in the WWE/WCW...

And finally, a Dead With Dr. Earl segment forms out of nowhere as the guys take on the recent Whitney Houston cause of death news, which gives us the immortal line...

"A cocaine-induced butt flip"

Episode XLVIII: Podcastin in the Rain

Once again, its Wednesday night, and once again, a gathering of the minds and wits converge at The Deucecast Studios to begin another excursion into podcasting amazingness.  The results?  The Deucecast Episode XLVIII: Podcastin' in the Rain!

Our first mention of Ralph Emery's "Nashville Now", with his
sidekick, Red.  That alone should make you want to download.
The show kicks off by welcoming Hurricane Rhett to the studios, and prepared for en epic rant.  Along the way, we hit topics like Blues Traveler vs. Sister Hazel... taking our kids to Daddy's Day Out... watching The Walking Dead... Crook & Chase and the late, great Nashville Network... the dangers in crowd surfing... reviews on The Hunger Games.. .Warrior... and Julianne Moore in GameChange.

Mike's music presents more crap from the Schaeffer Eye Center Crawfish Boil... d$ digs up a great Buried Treasure from Nelly... and a great game of Reel or Unreel challenges the guys to Chuck Norris movies, as well as bad Costner movies ("which one?" you ask!).

Our Big Three serves up uncomfortable movie scenes like Piggy's death in Lord of the Flies... the birth of an insect in The Fly... bad rave scenes... bad rape scenes... and bad rolling down the hills of Naboo.

Rhett's Rants commence with stuff on Trayvon Martin, ObamaCare AND The Americans with Disabilities Act. 

And can you believe we actually spend five solid minutes on what order to watch the Avengers-related movies before seeing The Avengers?   Yes, you can.

Join us next week when we welcome back fellow blogger and co-host Brooke Story, with some For the Chicks advice, more music from Schaeffer in Mike's Minute, and our Big Three topic... our Top Three Dream Jobs.  What are yours?  Let us know on Facebook, Twitter @thedeucecast and our email, info@thedeucecast.com!  That's next week on The Deucecast Ep XLIX: The Podcast Reloaded.
