Episode 649: CHEERIO!!! Our List of British Cinema

PIP PIP to all our little cheeky monkey fans!  Bloody good time on this episode! 

The Deucecast pays a nod to Jolly Ol' England with a list of their favorite Brit films - whether directed by a Brit, movies that take place in a British locale, or perhaps just a British story, Mike, d$, and #XLessDrEarl invite in Friend of the Show and Anglophile himself -- not just Mikey's Uncle, but the show's uncle... Unca Brian make his valiant return.

Along the way, a round of Doug Benson's ABCDeez, then a nod to both Kris Kristofferson and Dame Maggie Smith, two very different legends of the screen and stage, and their passing.

Then, a list of narratives, both classic and new, animated and documentary style and more -- the British films are coming!!

Episode 589: Conceptual Sci-Fi

Once again, #FanboySummer moves by quickly, as this week, another

loser winner contributor joins the show, this time for best "Conceptual Sci-Fi".  What does that even mean?  We have no idea, but who cares... as per usual, we go with it and have a fantastic time doing so.

Joining the show is the Rocket Man himself, Uncle Brian E, as he, Mikey, d$, and #TwitterlessDrEarl play a little round of ABCDeez, borrowing from fellow podcaster Doug Benson, as we use letters from a movie phrase to call out movie titles, figure out the theme and try to match up.

Then, a series of categories, from "robots" to "time travel" to "realistic" and more, calling out movies in many of those categories, plus all the discussion that go with it.

And Mikey met up with Glosson to see Petra. Not Pantera.
