Episode 453: Halloween Guilty Pleasures

Happy Halloween to all the movie lovers and scaryphiles out there from The Deucecast Crew!  Mikey, Dave, and #TwitterlessDrEarl serve up their favorite Halloween Guilty Pleasures.  The movies that... well, at least for Mikey and Dave... are not really scary, are sort of hokey, maybe kinda stupid, but oh so much fun anyway. 

 And of course, in the pretentious corner, #TwitterlessButNotDiscordlessDrEarl can't bring himself to talk about guilty pleasures, so somehow, his movies are actually good. 

First up, Mikey gives a quick review of Liam Neeson's new flick "Honest Thief", then Dave laments the loss of a small college town theater.

Then a new game called SUBTITLES, guessing the terrible franchises that the even more terrible sequels are named, followed by the aforementioned the Guilty Pleasures list, and then, the 7th iteration of MikeTober, where Mikey has watched and gives reviews on horror flicks assigned by Lil G (some Korean joint) and #TwitterlessButNotDiscordlessDrEarl (some 70s joint) and Burgess (some 90s joint) and Scott Ryfun (some Roadkill joint) and a masterpiece of old cinema assigned by Dave.

Episode 408: ReFlicktions Story

Even though ReFlicktions are every month, Christmastime ReFlicktions just seem a little better, more festive, and jollier.  That bowl full of jelly isn't jelly at all, it's just Mikey laughing at #TwitterlessDrEarl's jokes, while Dave tries to keep control!


This month, the guys have a plethora, a cornucopia, a tundra if you will, of films to discuss, including many still in theaters and several Oscar contenders.

Dave leads off with one of the worst films he's seen in a while, while Mikey gives three films with incredibly long and cumbersome titles. The guys wonder if they've talked about Doctor Sleep already (??) and marvel at Ford v Ferrari.

The guys dive deep into The Irishman with mixed results, Mikey is displeased with a critical darling, Dave catches up on an old Disney classic, and everyone agrees that Rian Johnson's new film is a home run.

Just Mikey and Dave on this edition of The Deucecast Movie Show, as they give a rundown of all the good (a Nic Cage movie!), the bad (a Nic Cage movie!) and everything in between (a Nic Cage movie!)

They get right to the action, and along the way, tackle such pressing issues as good and bad Nic Cage... Dave crushin' on a hot Michelle Monaghan... Mikey verbally destroying K-Stew... Munchhausen by Proxy... Emily Blunt's perfect casting... and lots of questions about Wakanda.

First up, a few birthday movies, with mentions of classics like "Sommersby", "Definitely, Maybe" and "Cradle 2 Tha Grave" and then a gross use of the term "chicken finger"

Another round of Word Up! takes place, with thoughts on a new Joker film, the Solo trailer and the Marvel 10th Anniversary picture.

If you look back into The Deucecast Movie Show's archives, you'll find Top Ten Documentaries back in Episode 183 and 184 (July 2015).  Since then, a plethora of docs have come out, and the guys take a look at some of their favorites released since then and in recent memory.

Shying away from the ones frequently discussed -- "Tickled", "Weiner", "Dear Zachary", etc -- other documentaries surface and resurface, with subjects like Gilbert Gottfried and Nic Cage as Superman and Tower Records and The Beatles and Steven Spielberg and chickens and chicken fingers and racism and volcanoes, Werner Herzog style.

Also, the power of nostalgia and Caddyshack.
