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.

Stick around for a great little bit on Adventures by Disney because why not.

Episode 444: The Best of the Worst 1980s

After the Deucecast Crew -- Mikey, Dave, & #TwitterlessButNotDiscordlessDrEarl -- did the Best of the Worst of the 1970s, as well as the 90s, 00s, and 10s in previous episodes, it was time to wrap up the series with the one decade untouched... The 1980s.

Such a show can only be done with the right kind of guest, someone who can speak to the most enjoyable crap the 1980s has to offer -- none other than the RetroZap Podfather RetroJoe Tavano, calling in from his Massachusetts Mobile Studio.

First up, the first edition of Rotten or Notten, picking which film is on the good side of 60% and which one is below it. Then, the guys give their list of good bad movies, including some gross trading cards... Corey & Corey... the glaive... Yeardley Smith, Casey Siemaszko, and Terry O'Quinn... Bad Tom Cruise... Jon Bon Jovi's Blaze of Glory... Fair is Fair... and so much more.
