Episode 687: The Top Ten of 1988

 Back for another week, as July kicks off and Happy 249th Birthday, 'Merica!

It was a year that saw Tim Allen and Annette Bening get their big break... Bill Murray go Christmas... Monty Python win an Oscar... Tom Hanks get seduced by an older lady... Tom Cruise outshine Dustin Hoffman... The Coreys peak... a double dose of Kevin Dillon... space Klowns... and of course, its Die Hard in a building!

Episode 485: Top Summer Movies of 1985-89

The heat is on, as Glenn Frey would say -- fitting that it's from Miami Vice, a TV show right in the era that Dave, Mikey, & Dr Earl take on tonight!  The summer films from 1985 thru 1989, any movie that came out from Memorial Day weekend to Labor Day weekend in those respective years.

And the lists of "could be in my Top Five" are growing every block of movie years, and so it was important we bring on someone who was in their movie prime as the guys are -- Nick, host of Podcast of The Whills (and the new MOM CU), joins the show for the first time to break it all down and list them all out.

First up, a little chat on what exactly Podcast of the Whills actually is (hint: its from a Star War), then a little Brat Pack guess 'em game -- think you know the 80s movies of Andrew McCarthy, Judd Nelson, Rob Lowe, and Emilio Estevez? Think you know who woo'd Molly Ringwald in "Fresh Horses" or who was the plucky lawyer in "From the Hip"?  Play along, see if you can be the one in the group who dominated.

Then the Top Five Summer Films of 1985 thru 1989 -- some pretention of course... He-Man... Mel Brooks... Elisabeth Shue love... Dottie from Pee Wee love... Joey Pants mourns Ritchie... hot Cyrano de Bergerac talk... "I'll Buy THAT For a Dollar!"... d$'s pick for the best Vietnam movie ever made... and much more in a great discussion about the late 80s classics.

Episode 372: Favorite Actors When We Were Kids

Another episode of the Movie Show is here, with Mikey and Dave bringing the noise and the funk. And the film.  The topic tonight is Actors that they loves when they were kids, and may or may not care about at all since they are all grown up.

What better guy to bring in than the pride of Tifton, Georgia, Friend of the Show Scotty Ryfun, with his own theme song!

First up, a shout out to the new Deucecast Historian, and the old school Endor DeuceTrax... then a Ryfun riffs on losing episodes of My Star Wars Story.  Then a plug for The Magic on a Dollar Podcast, hosted by d$.

Then, a brand new game called The Streak, which seems easy -- just name movies from each year, starting with the present day, and going backwards.  And which Ice Age came out in 2009??

Some Star Wars Galaxy's Edge talk, including the announcement of opening dates, details of Millennium Falcon Smuggler's Run, and much more.

Then the topic at hand... a chit chat about Movie Novelization... then fave actors and actresses that, when the guys were young, they just loved.  Names like Tim Conway... David Tomlinson... Corey Haim... Charles Grodin... and many more names, including some the show has likely never even talked about...  also discussed, Dave's take on Mary E Mastrantonio... how to use CPR propertly... recasting Cannonball Run... plus, a Meredith Salenger update!

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.

Movies discussed this month:

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 186: Top 100... 70 thru 61

"What do you mean I get several mentions on this week's episode?!"

From the mind of M Night Shyamalan...

"It's a piece of crap... but I really liked it!" says Pinky about this sequel to one of his favorite films of all time... which movie?  Find out by listening to the latest Top 100 episode, with Mikey, Pinky & d$ giving their all time favorites -- not the Best Films Ever but Favorites -- including the coolest truck of the 80s... Mikey's inability to count properly (thus a throwback to the last Top 100 episode)... 

Also, the improbably deus ex machina ending of Field of Dreams... having a school boy crush on Hayley Mills... a film that Pinky loves as much as Mikey hates... the talent of Charles Groden... how to see Bugs Bunny & Mickey Mouse in the same frame... d$'s special attachment to Con Air... why Pinky is ruining the country... the three movies d$ saw first...

Discussion on movies like Toy Story... Mary Poppins... Heat... Jurassic Park... and much more.
