Episode 199: Holidays! Force Awakens! Sci Fi Guilty Pleasures!

It's the penultimate episode before we hit a major milestone... but before we get to 200, we gotta knock out 199, and we bring a heavy hitter to do just that!  Shazbazzar from TechnoRetro Dads Podcast calls in to discuss being a geek, watching fantasy & science fiction, and guilty pleasures.  Put them all together and we have Fave Sci Fi/Fantasy Guilty Pleasures via a miracle of technology!

Also joining d$, Mikey, Pinky & Shaz for the show is Friend of the Show, Terence Malick Apologist and Movie Historian, the honorable Dr. Earl!

Kicking off, a discussion on the new Star Wars The Force Awakens trailer that premiered a few weeks ago during Monday Night Football, and what it takes for Mikey to break down into tears: "I'm pregnant with Star Wars..."

Plus, the excitement of the long forgotten tradition of going and standing in line for actual tickets to a movie coming out...

Then, moving on to Rotten Tomatoes, with a round of 1980s classic films to guess the score on.

A Holiday Movie Preview gives a quick take on upcoming films like the latest Rocky film, "Creed", as Apollo's son gets in the ring... Zac Efron as Han Solo, maybe... Daniel Radcliffe as "Igor" in a Frankenstein take... the limited release "The Ridiculous 6" on Netflix... the Star Wars coming out... Tina Fey & Amy Poehler in "Sisters"... the agenda driven "Concussion"... the horrible idea to remake "Point Break"... J-Law in "Joy"... Pinky's dream of "The Hateful 8"... and "The Reverent"

Finally, the real reason for the show... the Favorite Sci Fi / Fantasy guilty pleasure films, including a Kris Kristofferson time travel classic...  a forgotten Star Wars ripoff billed as "A Magnificent Seven in Space"... why "Face / Off" is not really a guilty pleasure... a movie that features Kangaroo Warriors... sending Hilary Swank to the center of the Earth... the movie known as The Longest Taco Bell Commercial in History... Greg Evigan vs Peter Weller in the battle of undersea aliens...

And to wrap up, a Pretty in Pink featuring "Hellraiser"

Episode XXII: Davy Dollar & The Prisoner of Podcastkaban

Finally... we got to Episode Twenty the Second. What's so special about XXII? Nothing. And everything. Because we are The Deucecast and we freakin' rule.

d$ was Curious. Mikey was Uninhibited. Matty is Vivacious. Tommy
is Unavailable. Which one are you?

We open up a can of refreshing Me Sparkling Beverages, and then kick off the show with our weeks, including Matty's power issues, not just with the breaker, but with Conan... Mikey's weekend at the Sidewalk Film Festival, and his love of Chazz Bono... and d$'s dinner at Po' Folks, and a viewing of not one, but both parts of "Paradise Lost". Oh, and lots of talk about "Ace Ventura, Jr". We also venture on the horror that is "Battlefield Earth"... the joy of Christian Slater... our support of Demi Lovato... Josh Brolin... Spike Lee... a surprising Grey's Anatomy Watch... Matt Fox's respect of women... George Lucas' tinkering with his masterpieces...
...and an interesting discussion on Civil Rights when we openly discuss "The Help".
The Music Minute busts out some Great Book of John... the Smorgasbord gives us Matty's five most anticipated games released this fall... and d$ digs up a Jet Li/Aaliyah classic, which spurs a good discussion on the talents of Anthony Anderson... Some you win. Dim sum... you lose.
We have a rousing game of Faux or Shaux, with the reemergance of Deuce Fave Greg Evigan... plus, The Big Three topic is our favorite artists of all time... Pre-Skanky Mariah! Bono! Sting! Zak Wylde! Rock! Country! And the melodies of Kevin Max, Tait and Toh-Bee Mack!

Plus... Seagal Watch.
