Episode 667: The Oscar Snub Tourney

 In a world full of Oscar winners, there is also a large population of worthy performers who never had their own Academy Award moments.  Whether being nominated one time, or seven times, or no times, nary a winning ballot with their name on it.

Mikey, d$, and #XLessDrEarl invite in Miss Independent himself, Jeremy Burgeydoodle, to discuss twenty four dudes and twenty three dames, all with bodies of excellent work. Actors from Ed Harris in "The Right Stuff" to Michael B Jordan's "Fruitvale Station" to d$'s girlfriend Amy Adams in "American Hustle" to Margot Robbie in... well, something good. 

Idris! Harrison! ScarJo! Mia! And so many more great thespians, all with one question - "Why don't they have an Oscar yet?", and tonight, we find out who truly defines that question.

Plus, the 8th Annual Burgentine's Day commences, as Jeremy discusses his assigned films - "About Time", "Some Kind of Wonderful", "Notting Hill", "She's the One", and "A Single Man"... who wins and who falls to the bottom this year? 

Episode 596: SNL Actors

The August moon is nigh, the summer is waning, the dog days are here... and what better way to beat the heat than to listen to a great podcast!  So make sure to subscribe to Roth From Wyoming's Good Day 4 a Movie Podcast!

After that, you can tune into this little ditty, as The Deucecast Movie Show's own Mikey and d$, sans #TwitterlessDrEarl this time, invite in first time guest (and first time podcaster!) Coach DiBello all the way down from Miami, Florida!

Tonight is all about some Saturday Night Live, and the actors who started and shined as Not Ready For Primetime Players.

First up, a chit-chat on who Coach is, and how he found the show itself... CTI must return!

Then, an SNL Draft... who would be in a dream cast! Make sure to listen and comment on Twitter, or X, or TheDeuceCord about who's lineup is the absolute best!

Finally, top five SNL performers... of course, Mikey told d$ it was who got their start... for Mikey and Coach, it's who shined the most.  So the lists are varied, but the names are huge - Murphy... Aykroyd... Murray... Radner... Sandler... Zweibel?  Him too.

Episode 585: Comedic Actors, Dramatic Roles

 After a successful summer last year, a summer of the fans, a... FanboySummer if you will, we decided if it worked once, it's gotta work again, right?  I mean, look at Zoolander Too!  And Blair Witch Project! And Thor Love & Thunder! If we struck gold once, it's bound to happen again!

Thus, FanboySummer Part Deuce! 

And in our first of 9 Fanboy Summer eps, we welcome in Jonathan Hile of the Captain's Log & Lightsaber Podcast!  

Up first, the return of the DbIMDb game, taking on the algorithm of what IMDb thinks is most popular.  A little catch up with Hile, discussing the podcast, and then a dive into the Top 5 topic...

Tonight, a take on actors known for their comedic chops who give incredible dramatic turns in certain roles - be it a serious legacy only to turn to comedy, then back to drama (Leslie Nielsen) or someone who had been dabbling in the drama all along, but was only really known for their comedy prowess (Robin Williams) or even someone finding their footing in Hollywood (Jennifer Aniston) and even more.

The joys of TubiTV… how good is Maverick… Garrison’s Purge Journey… Cronenberg’s recent work… talking what a woman is… Adam Sandler’s stage of his career… a few political opinions only held by those speaking them, not representative of the entire crew (we dunno. just thought we should say that)

Episode 524: The REAL Best Picture Nominees 2002

The award season is on the fast track to the big one, the Academy Awards, and it was time to revisit some of the previous Oscar seasons... specifically, the Best Picture nominees from years gone by.

And to accomplish this feat of movie strength, Mikey, Dave, and #TwitterlessDrEarl bring in Show Fave and Listener Roth from Wyoming!

First, a list of Birthday Movies -- including Logan turning five, and IN LIKE FLINT... my favourite movie! 

Then to add to the Best Picture nominees of 2002! 

Essentially... there were only five nominees for Best Picture. Within a decade, they would allow up to ten films to be nominated.  So it's our job to come up with our own lists of the other five that should have also been nominated... note: we CANNOT remove any of the existing films, we can only add to the list. 

And at the end of the show, the crew all submit one film each that should have been nominated, then a quick discussion on the final film, to come up with a Deuce Best Picture nominee list.

The existing nominees for the Best Picture category in 2003 (for movie year 2002) are Gangs of New York, The Hours, Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers, The Pianist, and the year's big winner, Chicago... so the crew asks, "Did they get it right?"

This is the last of this part of the series for this year. Next February, we will pick back up with the Best Picture nominees of 2003 and continue through 2007. 

Episode 452: The Vampire Tournament

The Deucecast Movie Show is a show that bites... or sucks? Either way, Mikey, Dave, and #TwitterlessDrEarl are looking for another entry into the Big Bracket of Movie Roles -- and they need a vampire. 

So during the episode, the guys -- and a very special guest -- go match by match, discussing winners and losers in each round of Hollywood Vampires, including at least 9 performances of Dracula.

Lee's Dracula vs Marshal's Blackula
Oldman's Dracula vs Langella's Dracula

Hamilton's Dracula vs Lazlo

The Countess vs Peter Loew

Pandamonium vs Louis

LeStat vs Jerry

Regher's Dracula vs David

Episode 451: The Way Way ReFlicktions

It's another month and another pile of movies seen by The Deucecast Movie Show crew. Dave, Mikey, and #TwitterlessButNotDiscordlessDrEarl go movie by movie on all the flicks they've seen in the last several weeks, including a handful by #TwitterlessDrEarl and two handfuls by Dave, and about seven wheelbarrow loads by Mikey.

First up, birthday movies, finding out how old Saw II or Spectre or The Magnificent Seven actually is. Then straight to the movies, plus the Top Five of the Year thus far, and more info on how to help Friend of the Show Jeremy Burgess.

Episode 377: The Best of the Worst (2010s)

In an episode that can best describe the podcast here, Best of the Worst definitely can include Mikey, Dave and #TwitterlessDrEarl... and what better way to discuss below average and mediocrity that our good friend from way cross Georgia, in a little town called Vinings (or wherever), The Spawn of Ryfun, aka, Garrison gets on the hotline.

New theme song in tow, he's in to youth up the place, in the absence of the forlorn Pinky, still stuck in a Chinese gulag (though it might be Thai, there is no evidence)

After playing a round of the Percentages, including finding out the highest -- and lowest -- Rotten Tomatoes scores from a bevy of actors, including Samuel L Jackson... Bradley Cooper... and even Brie Larson.

Then, its onto the countdown, where the guys rank their favorite low score Rotten Tomatoes films. Dandy movies starring the aforementioned Sam Jackson... and Kevin James... The Rock... BatFleck... and much more!

So sit back and enjoy the show, riffing on how much they love some truly awful films from 2010 until present day!

So as the venerable Mister Rogers would say please won't you be our neighbor.

And what better way to celebrate the Independence Day holiday than invite it one of the show's favorite two Friend of the Show Jennifers.... the Delightful Lifer herself, J Kaufman!

After the annual July 4th game of American or Commie (where the crew guesses on who was born on American soil... and who are the commies), they dive into their Sports Films list.

Not just any sports film list... the rules are to omit the big ones -- no football movies, no basketball movies, no baseball movies allowed.  Instead, movies about soccer!  Racing!  Golf!  And... competitive speed typing?  What.

Also a quick look at the new Toy Story Land at Hollywood Studios!

Flicks like Expendables, Jet Li gettin' kicky, Anthony Anderson being racist, controversy over the best bike messenger movie ever made, which Bond movies count in the canon, and where does Looper fit into all of it?

And to add even more to the show, the guys bring on the co-host of the TechnoRetro Dads podcast, the man known to the world as Shazbazzar, aka, Shaz.

First up, a new game to discuss Adam Sandler and Netflix, Jeff Goldblum's Jurassicness, and Will Smth as... The Genie?  It's a game called "Word Up!" which also introduces Remodeling Clay's new theme song!

Then, a visit to Episode 274, with the 1989 defeat over 1982, and Shaz's big issue with it. Shaz gives a genre by genre rundown of 89 vs 82 (even though, let's be honest, it doesn't matter)...  including the movie that will fit the bill in case you are looking for some Casual Racism.

Episode 207: Retro Reflicktions with Joe Tavano

Another year is in full swing for The Deucecast Movie Show, and there is so much to get to in the coming weeks... however... first up, the monthly ReFlicktions show! This is where Mikey, Pinky & Dave give a huge rundown of the movies seen in the last month.

And this time, the guys are joined by frequent guest, movie historian and Terrance Malick apologist The Good Dr Earl... and RetroZap founder Joe Tavano.

The Deucecast Movie Show has joined RetroZap Podcasting Network, and Joe is here not only to welcome the show (or perhaps the hosts have just invited themselves?) but to talk a little about RetroZap and how great it is.

Then the discussion moves into a new discussion on Star Wars The Force Awakens (no spoilers spoken!) the into main movie discussion, where Pinky sees the brilliance of Corey & Corey... the guys discuss the lost potential of The Ridiculous Six... the length of H8Ful Eight... what Mikey intends for bad, Dave finds to be great... cannibalism and Kurt Russell... Bryan Cranston's amazing performance in a pretty good movie... Christian Bale's amazing performance in a really good movie... and Tom Hardy's upstaging of Leo DiCaprio by giving an amazing performance in an amazing movie.

And, of course, Dr Earl and Maria Conchita Alonso have a moment.

Star Wars The Force Awakens... Ridiculous Six… Krampus… Ex Machina… Flash Gordon… Bill Murray’s Very Murray Christmas… Spotlight… The Loft… The Running Man… Crazy Love… Creed… Trumbo… The Babadook… Girlfriends… That Sugar Film… Hateful Eight… Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure… Dune… Me, Earl & the Dying Girl… Bone Tomahawk… Sharknado… Joy… Pootie Tang… The Departed… License to Drive… Alien… The Iron Sheik… William Shatner’s Chaos on the Bridge… Sisters… Hotel Rwanda… Trojan War… Take Shelter… Shotgun Stories… People Places Things… The Revenant

Episode 203: Holiday ReFlicktions

It's another dive into the movies that we have seen over the last few weeks -- lots of reviews of movies new and old.

Plus, find out how Pinky confused Our Brand is Crisis and Jem & the Holograms... plus he watches a nerdy classic... we question the choices of Sienna Miller, the latest movies of Bradley Cooper and whether Kevin Smith should stick to what he knows...

And a huge discussion on SPECTRE and if James Bond is a character past his prime... much disagreement there is in this segment... and Dr Earl's favorite old school Bond girl... Two of the three hosts really had major issues with Hunger Games Mockingjay Part 2... Raving over Spotlight... Brie Larson's Oscar prospects... the actor that Mikey dubs as "the next Al Pacino"... the death film that Pinky had to suffer through... and can Ashley Judd actually act, or has she been faking it the whole time?

Also, we do talk about The Good Dinosaur briefly, but we encourage you to go back to Ep 202, "Fave Non Animated Family Films" to hear a full review of this movie.

And d$ has a new #1 film on his Top Five, the first change at the top since May!
