Episode 405: The Actor Draft

In this last regular episode of the year, before next week's DeuceGiving and the Christmas season gets going, Mikey, Dave and #TwitterlessDrEarl set up a fictitious movie studio in the vein of classic movie studios that would sign actors to mega deals. Thus our first of many Draft Episodes kick off.

...But first, birthday movies! Hunger Games Mockingjay Part 1 turns 5... The Blind Side turns 10... National Treasure is 15... Dogma is 20... and Supergirl with Helen Slater is... 35??

And what better way to play a game called Chronology than to invite in the Spawn of the Pride of Albany Georgia, young Garrison Ryfun!  Lil G helps put the movies in order along with a whining Mikey and a brilliant #TwitterlessDrEarl.

Finally... pretend a movie studio has come to each of the crew and given an unlimited budget to sign FIVE actors to an exclusive deal.  The guys begin the draft and pick their choices one by one to be in their studios... who gets picked?  Who gets left on the table?

And finally... everyone knows ABBA follows Kenny... but for the first time, the question that everyone has been asking is answered... what follows ABBA...?

Episode 278: The Film Four (Movie Year Tourney Part VIII)

It's getting down to the bare bones of the Greatest Movie Year Ever Tournament, as only FOUR years remain.  And it's time to find the finalists.

Helping Dave, Mikey, and Pinky are guests on the Binder & Binder hotline, first with our favorite Michigander podcaster Remodeling Clay Shaver, and then Wit Stillman fan, Brie Lover (Alison, Cheese and Larson), Terence Malick Apologist, Film Historian AND the worlds greatest octonologist, Dr Earl.

And to add even more to the show, the guys bring on the co-host of the TechnoRetro Dads podcast, the man known to the world as Shazbazzar, aka, Shaz.

First up, a new game to discuss Adam Sandler and Netflix, Jeff Goldblum's Jurassicness, and Will Smth as... The Genie?  It's a game called "Word Up!" which also introduces Remodeling Clay's new theme song!

Then, a visit to Episode 274, with the 1989 defeat over 1982, and Shaz's big issue with it. Shaz gives a genre by genre rundown of 89 vs 82 (even though, let's be honest, it doesn't matter)...  including the movie that will fit the bill in case you are looking for some Casual Racism.

The first battle becomes so difficult, the show called in ANOTHER special guest to help decide as Shaz takes on d$ for the win... with Shaz firing an "Ad Hominem Attack"

Episode 275: One Fine Day

What can be done in a single 24 hour period?  According to movies, quite a bit!  That's the theme behind this latest episode of The Deucecast Movie Show, where Mikey, Pinky and Dave take on movies that take place in a day.

And who else would be in the pretentious corner but Brie Lover (both the cheese, Alison and Larsen), Wit Stillman Fan, Terrance Malick Apologist, Film Historian and (insert medical specialty here)ologist, Dr Earl!

First, the birthday movies for May, not only celebrating five years since Pinky's graduation, but also movies like The Avengers, Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones, Smokey & the Bandit and of course, American Ninja 2: The Confrontation.  And, of course, The War Wagon.

The IMDb game makes a return with several actors & actresses and their film listings.  Can you guess before the guys do?

Then, single day films, all with limited storytelling... everything from a classic western to a classic courtroom drama to going to see a dead body to a Samuel L. Jackson monologue for the ages to a group of detention students to a terrorizing truck to Tom Hardy's face for 90 minutes to a September 11th narrative to a Manhattan prison to the Nakatomi Plaza... and more.

A discussion on the Stephen King Universe... in-depth look at the New Brat Pack masterpiece Flatliners... a look at Northern Exposure... Dave rails on Ferris Bueller again (sigh) and a glance at the film career of Lumi Cavazos and a look at the films of Dennis Weaver.

Episode 272: Underrated Star Wars

Mikey, Pinky and Dave are talking Star Wars in this latest ep of The Deucecast Movie Show! And joining the guys this week, over in the pretentious corner, its Wit Stillman Fan, Terence Malick Apologist and Lover of Brie (both the cheese & Larson varities) the greatest –cologist in the world, Dr Earl.

With Star Wars Celebration coming up (of which the podcast is a proud sponsor of!), what better way to talk a Galaxy Far Far Away than to invite in two favorites, the original Skywalking thru Neverlanders, Richard & Sarah Woloski!

The subject is underrated and underappreciated Star Wars characters, including the cutest blue Jedi in the galaxy… who’s most likely to be a mob informant… the guy who yelled “Hold your fire!”… the 7 foot tall rabbit… Kenny Rogers & Six Pack… Dynomite Magazine… Bossk’s unknown ship… Jay Underwood & the boy who could fly…

It’s a fun episode full of "Galactic That Guys" and "Where is that girl?" and "I don't even know what that is..."  Plus, Star Wars Celebration plans… and so much more via random topics and rabbit trails.

Episode 271: Movie Tourney Year Part VII

Once again, Pinky, Mikey & Dave come together to decide the greatest year of movies, ever... this time, with four more matches to finally set up the Entertaining Eight
