Episode 565: 2022 Surprise and Delights

 Each year, there are the movies that perhaps are not on Mikey's, Dave's, or #TwitterlessDrEarl's top fives or top tens, but they are still movies that surprised everyone... and delighted everyone... unexpected pleasant moviegoing experiences if you will.  

And every year, Friend of the Show, Miss Independent Jeremy Burgess joins up for the episode, giving his own surprises and delights.

First up, Burgess is assigned his annual Burgentine's Day -- sure, it's early, but Home Goods had V-Day stuff up before Christmas, so we feel okay about this. 

Then, the guys jump right into their Top 5 films that they went into unsure about, perhaps with little to no expectations... and came out of surprised at how delighted they found the movies... and delighted at the surprise of how delightful it was. Or something. 

And they even dig a little into Oscar odds... some newer horror gets lots of love on the show... a little hot Brendan Fraser talk... some Austin Butler chatter... Michael's Baygasm... and even get a little Shakespearean. Sort of.

And a "Don't Die" update!!

Episode 559: DeuceGiving 2022

It's our annual episode of giving thanks, in a DeuceGiving style!  This is the episode where Mikey, Dave, and #TwitterlessDrEarl gives their thanks!

Movies are finally back (for the most part), so after a few birthday movies, including The Last Unicorn and The Lord of the Rings celebrating some big anniversaries, we give our list of gratitude for the movie world --  thanks for the return of our favorite Butt Wagons and ingenues arising and Data gets his spotlight and old school being new school and so much more.

And of course, thanks to all of YOU for the listening and downloading and so much more!

Episode 550: The Summer Winners and Losers

The fall is almost here, and if you haven't heard the Fall Movie Preview from last week, go back and listen.  But as the Deucecast boys -- Mikey, d$, and #TwitterlessDrEarl -- puts the summer to bed, first with the end of #FanboySummer and the look ahead to the new season, one final nail in the summer comes in the form of the Winners & Losers of the Summer Movie Season.

First up, a little Box Office Mojo, figuring out which movies crossed that magical $100,000,000 number (also the number d$ owed on Discover Card circa 2001). 

Then, five winners and five losers from each Mikey and Dave, while Earl can proclaim all the winners, his kind heart only allows him to discuss three losers. 

We also discuss the problem with Kevin Hart... the problem with Audrey Plaza... the BIG problem wit that new demon show... the problem with 2022 Tom Hanks... love for Zac Efron... being impressed with Elvis... more Cha Cha love... the movie that broke Mikey... how a stupid cartoon might be the smartest thing on TV... missing girlfriends and catfishing... and Tom Cruise being the most best Tom Cruiseiest ever...

Episode 540: Yo Teach

The summer is well underway as The Deucecast Movie Show has rolled through its twelfth June, and now past another July 4th (USA! USA!), and in this week's #FanboySummer edition, Arkansas fanboy and teacher and educator and smart cool dude Charley Wooten!

First up, a little about Charley, talking about his background and his podcast Sunday Synopsis, then the very first round of a game we call HIGH SCHOOL HIGH... which high schools in movies are made up or real -- and which might be inspired.

Then, the topic picked by the guest, Charley - surprisingly a topic not covered before, Fave Teachers in Movies.

Some of the topics include Harry Potter... Arkansas education... ruining Mr. Holland... Butthead's hippy teacher... Matthew Broderick enjoying his pie... young Charley and his Miyagi PJs... a shared love of Kevin James... the lost art of loving a movie that you couldn't immediately access...
