Episode 671: 21st Century March Movies

 It's almost the Ides of March (a movie that ironically was not released in March) and it's time to look back over the last 25 Marches -- with the best movies from the 3rd month of the year in the 21st Century!

First, d$, Mikey, and #XLessDrEarl opens up the show with a quick look at "Mickey 17", the latest from Garrison Ryfun's director boo, Bong Joon-ho, and the good... and the bad... and the bad... and maybe some of the good. 

Then, checking out the March classics - from PG&E fightin' lawyers to ninja gang wars to The Rock's gay bodyguard - to the new soon-to-be classics like sand worms to Wes Anderson's animated pooches to John Goodman's creepy cellar dwelling. 

Plus... what did we forget?  A lot, unfortunately.

Episode 620: Let's Dune This... March ReFlicktions

The awards season is almost over - we've got a few days until the Academy Awards, and another day or so after until the nominations for the real awards, the Deucies

Until then, it's time to talk about the films that have been viewed, seen, watched, absorbed and enjoyed in the last month or so... and on the heels of the biggest movies the year -- Dune 2 -- its time to talk about it! 

First up, a few birthday movies - what did come out in March in 2019, 2014, 1994, 1979 and so on... including the first mention of "Wing Commander" in what is likely a very long time.

Then, we dive right in, showcasing classic movies like "Safety Last" and "Gimme Shelter" and Oscar bait, like "Maestro" and "Strays" and fresh on the screen, like "Spaceman" and yes, the full review of the crapfests known as "Argylle" and "Madame Web".

Plus, Rachel McAdams in a period piece... Dr Earl enjoying the Barb... why Michael hates "May December" so much... and could Carey Mulligan make every single thing she's in just that much better?

And finally, the long lost return of Assigned Films, introducing the "Time Bandits" rule.

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!
