And joining us on the show tonight for his first ever Deucecast appearance, friend of the show and church drummer extraordinaire, Jon "Speedy" "Clax" "Little Drummer Boy" "Like Def Lepperd but Both Arms" Claxton!  We get to know Speedy Clax's fave genres of films and a little about him overall before diving into the episode.

Episode 643: My Favorite Summer... The Directors

It's the true dog days of summer, as My Favorite Summer has only two eps left before the big pay-off -- Mikey, d$'s and #XLessDrEarl's top ten fave films of all time.

We chat about our fave movie filmmakers, the movies they have given us, the styles we love, and our own qualifications of how they are favorites... and Ryfun gives quite a defense of both George Lucas and "The Rise of Skywalker". It's not really right, but it's at least passionate.

Episode 632: My Favorite Summer... The Classics

 It's finally time for the summer and with it, the summer series at The Deucecast Movie Show! For the fourth... or fifth, who's counting... your fave movie podcast that you, but probably not any of your friends and definitely not most girls you know, are listening to is giving you a theme for the summer, a series of episodes intertwined with a common theme... this time, it's "My Favorite Summer". 
 
And for the summer, Dave, Mikey, and #XLessDrEarl will be giving you the top tens of their favorites across movie genres, like comedies, dramas, animation, and more, and tonight, the Classics.  And of course, to rank the classics is our fellow cinephile and film snob, the pride of Toccoa Falls, Garrison Ryfun!

First, a little round of Movie Trivia from The Book, and then, diving right in... all of our all time fave films from all the years, from the early days of film up until the cut-off of 1969. 

Legendary directors like Wilder, Hitchcock, Fleming, and Lumet... incredible performances from the likes of Cary, Stewart, Bogie, Audrey... and sweeping plantation epics to tiny jury rooms to creepy hotels to pool halls.

Episode 543: The Directors 1-2 Punch

The podcast takes another stop towards 500, and ultimately Episode 600 (circa Sept 2023), the losers winners of #FanboySummer continue! This time, Mikey, Dave, and #TwitterlessDrEarl welcome in past and future guest, and Discord chatterbox Jacob Roth, aka, Roth from Wyoming, aka co-host of A Good Day for a Podcast to discuss 1-2 punches.

First up, July Birthday Movies, including both Men in Blacks (mens in black?),  a Katy Perry concert film, squealing like a pig, and the stacked July of 1987. 

Then, a quick chat about this past weekend's San Diego Comic Con, specifically the Marvel stage and all the upcoming titles and Phases.

Roth from Wyoming brings the topic this time, with the best 1-2 punches from directors... the best back to back, non-franchised films from the same director across movie history.

As usual, a little pretension but maybe not from #TwitterlessDrEarl... a John Landis love fest... which Spielberg do you choose... what is a Thanksgiving movie... forgetting George Lucas... and the best back to back to back Hitchcock...
