Episode 667: The Oscar Snub Tourney

 In a world full of Oscar winners, there is also a large population of worthy performers who never had their own Academy Award moments.  Whether being nominated one time, or seven times, or no times, nary a winning ballot with their name on it.

Mikey, d$, and #XLessDrEarl invite in Miss Independent himself, Jeremy Burgeydoodle, to discuss twenty four dudes and twenty three dames, all with bodies of excellent work. Actors from Ed Harris in "The Right Stuff" to Michael B Jordan's "Fruitvale Station" to d$'s girlfriend Amy Adams in "American Hustle" to Margot Robbie in... well, something good. 

Idris! Harrison! ScarJo! Mia! And so many more great thespians, all with one question - "Why don't they have an Oscar yet?", and tonight, we find out who truly defines that question.

Plus, the 8th Annual Burgentine's Day commences, as Jeremy discusses his assigned films - "About Time", "Some Kind of Wonderful", "Notting Hill", "She's the One", and "A Single Man"... who wins and who falls to the bottom this year?

Episode 585: Comedic Actors, Dramatic Roles

 After a successful summer last year, a summer of the fans, a... FanboySummer if you will, we decided if it worked once, it's gotta work again, right?  I mean, look at Zoolander Too!  And Blair Witch Project! And Thor Love & Thunder! If we struck gold once, it's bound to happen again!

Thus, FanboySummer Part Deuce! 

And in our first of 9 Fanboy Summer eps, we welcome in Jonathan Hile of the Captain's Log & Lightsaber Podcast!  

Up first, the return of the DbIMDb game, taking on the algorithm of what IMDb thinks is most popular.  A little catch up with Hile, discussing the podcast, and then a dive into the Top 5 topic...

Tonight, a take on actors known for their comedic chops who give incredible dramatic turns in certain roles - be it a serious legacy only to turn to comedy, then back to drama (Leslie Nielsen) or someone who had been dabbling in the drama all along, but was only really known for their comedy prowess (Robin Williams) or even someone finding their footing in Hollywood (Jennifer Aniston) and even more.

As Will Smith would tell us, it's truly summer summer summer time... and once again, it's time to sit back and unwind, especially with our list of summer films from 1995 to 1999!

And once again, the task it too big to take on with just Mikey and Dave (with #TwitterlessDrEarl still saving the lives of those beach goers, this time in the Cozumel sea), so returning to the show is the legend, the myth, the master, the Kwan, the e ching, the pride of Albany, GA, WRYFN radio Disc Jockey, Wolfman Ryfun!!

Some of the conversation includes Dennis Hopper bad guys... Gary Busey in general... Solo cups... Bowfinger... liking Attack of the Clones a lot... seeing Red Tails... Jim Carrey's dark turn... Ep I's stretching the rules... Nic Cage's holy triumvirate...
