Episode 351: The Affleck Damon Tourney

The Big Bracket looms in a few years maybe. But until then, Dave, Mikey and #TwitterlessDrEarl have to decide on the best roles featuring two huge actors: Ben Affleck and Matt Damon.

Thusly, the Affleck vs Damon bracket is born.

The guys seek to define the boundaries of the Affleckanaissance and what movies are included... the importance of Armageddon's opening credits... Ben's directing chops... Damon's villain roles... saving Matt Damon from being stranded all over... the poker revolution from Rounders... rethinking the Ocean Movies... Damon as an action hero... #TwitterlessDrEarl saying "He talked me into it"... how Good Will Hunting became the movie we know... Midnight Run inspirations... and the new website photos

And how did Jerry Maguire win?

Episode 350: Halloween 2018

It's a monumental night for the 350th Episode of The Deucecast Movie Show (onward to 400!) as Mikey, Dave & #TwitterlessDrEarl talk up scary stuff in the annual Halloween episode!

And of course, what better way to usher in the spooky than to invite on Friend of the Show Scaremy "Octo"Burgess to discuss favorite movie haunts.

First up, birthday movies... how old is "Gravity"?  Or "Halloween III: Season of the Witch"?  Or even "The Wiz"??

Next, a round of America's favorite movie title game that sometimes premieres on The Deucecast, the one and only "Reel or Unreal", where players have to guess the real movie from a list of mostly fake titles.  Wait, is "Pumpkin Slice Latte" a real movie?  Seriously?

Then, the crew talks about their top five favorite movie haunted locations -- not just houses... but woods... spaceships... motels... cabins... next door neighbors... hospitals... towns, states, large bodies of water!

Finally, the results of MikeTober '18, where Mikey gives his reviews on the assigned Halloween movies like "Magic" and "The Fog" and "Let the Right One In" and whatever crap #TwitterlessDrEarl assigned.

Along the way, the guys discuss Patrick Dempsey's career... take suggestions for the upcoming "SpirituEarl"... Dave sharing a ribbeting junior high story... thoughts on Beverly Hills Cop and its sequels... the Goonies missing octopus...
