Episode 282: Premium Action (ft Retro Joe)

It's just the guys in the Deucecast Movie Show studios, with all producers out and Wit Stillman Fan, Terence Malick Fan, Brie Lover (Allison, Larson & cheese) and Film Historian Dr Earl on a Doctors With Only Some Borders mission, Mikey, Pinky & Dave decided to call up the RetroZap.com Podcasting Network guru and Podfather Retro Joe!

A little discussion about the RetroZap Network, then another round of See This, Not That, where Dave spins The Wheel of Movie Destiny (tm), giving you a great idea of what to see and what not to see with Star Trek films, guilty pleasures, and Eddie Murphy movies

Plus, Retro Joe's quick beef with Friend of the Show Scott Ryfun... and movie haircuts.  And more defense of Superman III from Pinky.  Plus, a special guest returns to the studio.

Then, part one of the Top Ten Best Action Films of the 2000s.  Anything that premiered at the box office from January 1, 2000, to last week, counts, as everyone gives their favorites from the last 17 years.

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?

Episode 236: The Best Movie Year Ever Tournament Opening Round

In the many years of The Deucecast Movie Show, there have been hundreds, maybe thousands of movies that have been reviewed, from early in the 1900s until very recently.

However, the guys of the show have wondered what is truly the best year of film ever... not the best movies of the year -- but the BEST YEAR of MOVIES EVER.

The years have been given numbers, and randomly numbers are called to fill out a bracket with 40 different years in it.

First up...
2004 (Hitch, The Incredibles, National Treasure & Mean Girls and, negatively, Catwoman)
vs
1986 (Platoon, Aliens, Ferris Bueller's Day Off & Stand By Me)

Then a battle with
1981 (Raiders of the Lost Ark, Superman II, Stripes & Evil Dead)
vs
1998 (Saving Private Ryan, The Big Lebowski, You've Got Mail &  A Bug's Life)

And the big battle between Saving Private Ryan and Raiders of the Lost Ark

And then you have:
1992 (Aladdin, Unforgiven, A Few Good Men & Reservoir Dogs)
vs
2008 (Iron Man, Wall*E, The Dark Knight & Tropic Thunder)

What do you pick?

Episode 160: The Top Ten of 2014

The Oscars have come and gone... the Deuce nominations (see episode 159) are out and will be awarded in a few weeks... it's time to put to bed the 2014 favorite films, as d$, Mikey and Pinky list the movies of 2014 they enjoyed the most.

Joining the guys in the studio is Birmingham filmmaker Jeremy Burgess and music savant and local homeboy Craig McRee.

Did you know there were almost 700 official releases to theaters in 2014?  And only a handful made over 200 million at the domestic box office... and in a game of Box Office Mojo, the guys list them out one by one.  Or try to anyway (no, Boyhood didn't even come close)

And out of the favorite films ranked in 2014, there are five--the three hosts and two guests--lists given, and ZERO movies made it on all five lists.  The LEGO Movie made three as did Captain America: The Winter Soldier and Guardians of the Galaxy... Foxcatcher made four lists... Gone Girl made three... Boyhood only made two... and a bunch of other films like Whiplash, Snowpiercer, Magic in the Moonlight and Birdman pop up randomly.

Plus, discussions on the foreign film appeal of The Raid 2.... Margot Robbie becoming Harley Quinn... one of our guests "Storming out"... Keanu impressions... is Foxcatcher in a Fincher style... and what does "Mikey licks The Guest" even mean?  Find out. 

And our regular show of reviews returns next week, as you'll hear about The Kingsman: Secret Service, Election, Rocky movies I - V, The Strange Color of Your Body's Tears (what the what?), The Equalizer, Lucy, Black and White and... Big Trouble in Little China!!  That's on next week's Reflicktions episode!
