Episode 679: The Meanest Movie Moms

 It's a tradition around the Deucecast Movie Show that we always want to honor our moms on Mother's Day... and sometimes that means showing the world how lucky we are that our Moms are NOT the moms in movies.

This week on the show, Friend of the Show, Mr Independent himself Jeremy Burgess, joins d$, Mikey, and #XLessDrEarl to talk all about the worst, meanest, sometimes most murderous and villainous moms in all the movies.  From creatures from space to cheerleader moms to grifting moms to abusive moms and more.

Plus, Burgess gives his take on not just small indie films to watch for, but some mainstream films that everyone should see. Then, a rousing game of Part 3 Rotten Tomatoes.

And, likely the first mention of Club Shay Shay on the podcast ever.

Episode 661: Wicked December ReFlicktions

HAPPY NEW YEAR from all of us guys here at The Deucecast Movie Show!  2025 is here, and we are anxiously awaiting Mickey 17, Fantastic Four: The First Steps, Thunderbolts, more Avatar, and whatever else ridiculousness the movie year will bring us...

...but first, we have to put 2024 to bed, at least in terms of movies seen. Thus, our final ReFlicktions show of the year! 

First, d$ finds some movie "white whales", including his beloved Katie Heigl... Dr Earl goes all in on music docs... our former show producer's offspring makes a movie... Mikey works on Oscar hopefuls, but doesn't love the latest Disney offering... d$ fills a 100 movie goal... they go all in on Nosferatu... and both Hallmark and Lifetime Movie Network are repped in the same episode...

 Winter Movie Preview 2024

Episode 657: DeuceGiving 2024

It's our annual episode of giving and thanking, as we at the Deucecast celebrate DeuceGiving 2024!

Mikey, d$, and #XLessDrEarl are here to share what has made us happy and grateful this year, including Mikey's great pick 'em... Disney storytelling... Sidewalk Cinema... Carl Weathers... Deadpool & Wolverine... and indie Ethan Hawke too.

Plus a few birthday movies for the month of November, and our many thanks to all of you!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Ep 612: Who Won 2023?

The new year has begun, winter is crashing around us, and it's time to reflect on what made our moviedom in the last year... and for the second time, we ask, Who Won the Year? 

While #XLessDrEarl is unavailable, yachting off the coast of Madagascar, filling in is the Pride of Stone Mountain Georgia, Young G Ryfun... after a little catch-up, including whether Garrison is getting too old to stay up for New Year's at midnight, they dive into for a few losers first.

Before the winners, who actually lost?  DCU? MCU? Disney animation? Pixar? Indiana Jones?

Then, the winners of 2023... Barbenheimer... former wrestlers... Emma Stone... FAST Films... Japanese Kaiju... and one goddess who shows up again. 

And... what we really think about Rachel Zeigler and the new Snow White adaptation. 

Episode 569: Who Won 2022?

The new year has begun, winter is crashing around us, and it's time to reflect on what made our moviedom in the last year... and for the second time, we ask, Who Won the Year?  And maybe for the first time, because we can't remember, we ask Who Also Lost the Year?

First up, a few quick reviews -- "Living", as seen by Dr Earl, "Aftersun" as seen by Mikey and Dr. Earl, and "Women Talking", as seen by Mikey and Dave... and those Oscar nominated films lead into the discussion of the recent Oscar nominations, with Mikey going all in on Top Gun Maverick... Dave making a case for Everything Everywhere All At Once... and Dr Earl chiming in with pretention.

Then, a top five of the winners and the losers... how can Margot Robbie be both?  And Tom Hanks down year, with Tom Cruise's amazing year... who won the animation game... big time directors taking a hit, but big time blockbusters becoming a hit... too much Korg, just enough Jimmy Cam, and not enough Hong Chau.

Of course, the usual rabbit trails of random conversation. 

Episode 566: The Way of the ReFlicktions (Part 1)

Every January, the Deucecast trio jumps into ReFlicktions after what is likely a 6-7 week break from ReFlickting movies... and that means a mondo sized ReFlicktions episode - but for your listening pleasure...

...and because not only is Mikey leaving town for the weekend, but d$ has weekend commitments as well, the 2.5 hour episode is now going to be 2 episodes!

First... the last vestiges of Christmas cinema, with horror Santas and returns to Indiana and Dickens and England.

Then, diving into the non-holiday stuff, #TwitterlessDrEarl gets pretentions with Inerratu and classic with Bing... d$ discusses the controversy on Strange World... Mikey hates Criminals named Emily but loves blue Na'vi... and a movie that we all forgot - Memory.

Check out the films we discussed on the episode (and where they are streaming) and come back next week for the likes of Glass Onion, new Baumbach, Will Smith's new slave epic, Brendan Fraser's comeback and a long discussion on the merits (and debauchery) of Babylon.

Another year is hitting the final stretches, as Christmas looms... but to end the year, there must be a final reckoning... er, a final ReFlicktions.

Episode 554: The Best Henchmen in Film

Halloween is quickly approaching as the fall rolls on, and the spooky movies are already on deck for both Mikey, Dave, and #TwitterlessDrEarl. But before they get to Halloween proper (and the annual Halloween ep coming in a few weeks), they'll spend a little time with some of the other mean, evil, and sometimes incompetent characters of film.

First, quick chatter about recent movies taken in, including "Amsterdam" and "Werewolf By Night", then a Rotten Tomatoes game featuring the good, and bad, movies made by the master of horror fiction, Stephen King himself. Everything from the acclaimed like "Stand by Me" to the forgotten, like "The Mangler".  Everyone figures Mikey will win this one too. Right? Right.

Then, the Henchmen. Those who don't run the show, but do the bidding of those movie villains who do. Then again, sometimes the Henchmen in question are really the ones in charge. Either way, each of the Deucecast trio brings their own favorites to their lists.

Plus... the short career of Alexander Godunov and a
multiverse world where Harrison Ford is a dentist on Friends and Tom Selleck wields a whip.

Episode 529: The 2022 Deucies and Top 10 of 2021

It's a tradition unlike any other... no, not the Masters, nor the Kentucky Derby, nor the BAFTAs... nope, it's the Deucie Awards!

For the 9th consecutive year, including 8 years in a row and this one, the Deucecast Movie Show hosts compile a list of nominees to watch, consider, vote on, and finally award the proverbial Golden Deuce Academy Globe VIBE statue to any one - or many - of over 40 films nominated for 16 awards...

Will Jess Chastain take home the Deucie to match her Oscar?  Will Jason Isaacs get finally get some love after his tour de force on MASS?  Can Hans Zimmer take another step closer to a DEGOT? And will international films find themselves in the spotlight this year.

Along the way, Dave, Mikey, and #Twitterless Dr Earl count down their own individual lists of their favorite 10 from the previous year gone by... including films that only get on one list, like that Jesus music doc Dave loves... and movies that are on 67% of the lists, like Wes Anderson's latest quirkity cinema... or movies that are on various spots of all three lists, like PTA's newest masterpiece or maybe a web slingin' modern classic...

And shockingly, this ep comes in well under 2 hours.

Enjoy the show as we put a button on 2021!

Episode 521: The Power of the ReFlicktions

Episode 484: Top Summer Movies of 1980-84

Welcome back to Part 2 of the Summer Series -- last week, we ranked the summer movies of the 70s... this week, we jumped to the first half of the ME Decade -- 1980 to 1984!

Indiana Jones and Elliott and Kermit and Carol Anne and WOLVERINE and Shall We Play a Game and on and on and on... we've all got a list with a dozen or more names on it, and because the task is so daunting, what better way to tackle it than to bring on a podcasting legend and friend of the show SHAZBAZZAR!! 

We talk about where Shaz has been spending his time since the end of TechnoRetro Dads... avoiding Vic's Damone... playing a little IMDB Game... love of Marc Singer... the greatest fan film ever made... the 80s teens propensity to create world destroying technology... and so, so much more.

Episode 479: Bad Movie Moms

It's Mother's Day and Mikey, Dave, and #TwitterlessDrEarl want to give a nod to their own moms and those moms out there we love. And what better way to honor those moms than to look at the movies... and see which moms to totally avoid.

First, a Mother (F***) themed version of The Rotten Tomatoes Game, taking on the films of the Mother dude himself.

Episode 472: Natural Disaster Movies

In a rare move for The Deucecast Movie Show, the topic describes the show itself -- a total disaster.  But this time, it's natural disasters, born by God and Mother Nature.

First up, Dave and Mikey give their review on the new Disney film "Raya & the Last Dragon"... while the award winning #TwitterlessDrEarl nods approvingly.  Then, a little round of the Rotten Tomatoes Game.

Finally, the Top Five list of fave Natural Disaster movies -- not man made, not alien created, but just weather conditions and space gone mad.  Everything from animal crackers on Liv Tyler's stomach to overturned ships to Deus ex Rockina, its all the disasters you could need.

Episode 441: The Sidekick Show

The summertime rolls on and in this world, all we have is our friends... including our sidekicks!  Mikey, Dave, and #TwitterlessDrEarl welcome back the Pride of Stone Mountain, Georgia, Lil G, the Podawan Learning, the Spawn of Ryfun, young Garrison.

First up, a few birthday movies, including the year that gave us not only Joe Dirt 2, but also Pixels, then the anniversary of Fantastic Four (not that one, that one), Apollo 13, Red Sonja, and the film that made Bo Svenson a star.

Then a round of Word Up!, giving the word on Marvel movie movement... the concern over tentpole films... seeing Empire Strikes Back's big success... and of course, the real definitive movie of the 90s (hint: probably not Twister).

And then, the best movie comedic Sidekicks!  Disney movies, The Pink Panther, Stanley Spedowski, Noonan!, and much more. And Mikey tries to put forth another ridiculous entry into a Top Five.

Plus, a surprise visit from an old, much thinner, Friend of the Show.
