Episode 428: Best of the Worst 2000s

In these uncertain times, it's important to embrace what you truly love -- bad movies. And leave it to Mikey, Dave, and #TwitterlessDrEarl to bring you the best. The Best of the Worst.
After doing the Best of the Worst films of the 2010s with Lil G Ryfun (Ep 377) and 1990s (Ep 389), it was time to do Best of the Worst films, as dictated by a Rotten Tomatoes score of 50% or less... and to get the perspective of the fairer kind, the Jennifers make a return... Jennifer Kaufman and Jennifer Novotny both join the show!

First up, to celebrate the release weekend anniversary of Avengers Infinity War and Endgame, an MCU themed version of IMDb, naming the movie roles of those in the MCU...

Then the trash that we love, movies that rank low on RT but high in our hearts, from Orlando Jones getting shoved up an alien's bum to Britney Spears hitting a cross road to a Star Wars mission road trip to #TwitterlessDrEarl surprising everyone with his Scooby Doo love.

Plus, what happened to Julia Robert's best role in the Julie Bracket... Doctor Aphra... love for Favreau... Va-poo-rizers... M Night's folly... Dim Sum... Richard Pryor's bad Toys... Robin Williams bad Toys... the J-Lo Triumverate..

Episode 393: Top Five Jennifers With Two Jennifers

Days after D23 -- and the assurance that the Deucecast crew's predictions came true -- what better way to follow up than for Mikey and Dave to bring in more epic guests.  Of course #TwitterlessDrEarl... but then, the return of two of our favorites.

The Jennifers both call in, that being Kaufman and Novotny, for more frivolity, mayhem and hilarity to ensue!  First up, a brand new game called ENSEMBLE, calling out the movies with huge casts.

And then, the main discussion... top five Jennifers in film. Characters, actresses, movies, any Jennifer, Jenny, Ginny, Ginnifer or anyone J-Lo or J-Law you can think of.

Much fun, much laughter, and a great episode with great voices.  And Michael.

Episode 344: Crazy Rich ReFlicktions

Another Wednesday morning and your podcatcher inbox is bright and shiny as Mikey, Dave, and #TwitterlessDrEarl fill your hear-holes will lots of movie talk!  It's the latest round of ReFlicktions, where the guys ReFlickt on the movies they've seen in the last few weeks! With much love for Crazy Rich Asians.

First up, the horror of a missing kid, and comedy about the Holocaust.  Jennifer Garner in an action flick that isn't so good and one that is not too terribly bad.  Netflix High School Movies that Dave might let his kid watch -- and one he wouldn't.  Mikey catches Buck Fever.  The majesty of Kubrick.  Confusion over which movie the Bob Seger song "Shakedown" appeared in ("Shakedown", the movie, right? Right?).  Earl getting in on the King. Mikey's a Brick and he's drowning slowly. And of course, Crazy Rich Asians.
