Episode 599: The Final 9 Roles

It took over 12 years to get here, but here we are.  Dave, Mikey, and #XLessDrEarl are at the penultimate episode of an episode that feels bigger than 500.  A hundred eps bigger, as a matter of fact...

This is Episode 599.

As the Big Bracket finally takes shape, there are 27 movie roles that will vie for the title of "Most Iconic Movie Role of All Time" -- from Indiana Jones to Sally Albright to Derek Zoolander to James Bond and more... but we don't need 27. We need 36.

And to fill the final 9 roles, we've asked a podcasting legend, the one, the only Geek Out Loud's Steve Glosson to join the show and discuss.

With over 40 iconic movie roles in play, most will be eliminated outright, as round by round, more and more famous legendary names are dispensed, tossed aside like Mikey tosses aside Star Wars now...

Ethan Hunt gets a final shot... Harry Potter hopes to work some magic... Lord of the Rings has several nominees... Keanu Reeves has two up for debate... familiar names, previous losers like Carl Spackler, Freddy Krueger, and Kermit the Frog try once more.

And at the end of the episode, only 9 remain. The Final 9.

Episode 552: The Franchise Role Tournament

Because we are on the downslope to Episode 600, and we've done 21 of these and need to do at least 11 more... its TOURNEY TIME.

Mikey, Dave, and #TwitterlessDrEarl are ready to put another movie role into the Big Bracket, to figure out what the greatest movie role of all time could be.  This episode, it's picking out the greatest roles from franchises.

The rules.... must be a character who appears in at least FOUR theatrical releases, no matter how brief, and can be played by the same or different actors.  Star Wars and Marvel are intentionally excluded, with one brief exception. And for the first time in any DCMS Tourney... Harry Potter and The Lord of the Rings make their appearances. 

To do such a big event, the Deucecast trio need help -- enter the Pride of Buford Georgia, Spawn of Ryfun himself, Lil G, and Friend of the Show Roth from Wyoming, picking up last minute invites to be a part of the madness. 

Transformers go tet a tet... the wizarding world has a rumble, as does Middle Earth... action stars attempt to keep it in the family, while dynamic duos take on crime stopping wiseacres... will G's push for Ethan Hunt finally be successful?  What happens when two of Mikey's icons face off?  Is it fair to make #TwitterlessDrEarl decide a match from movies he's never seen?  Probably not, but here we go! 

Episode 458: December Anticipation

 It's a December to Remember at The Deucecast Movie Show... or at least, Mikey, Dave, and #TwitterlessDrEarl recalls their most desired December movies.

First up, a quick round of Box Office Mojo, calling out the biggest money makers released in Decembers past.  

Then, The Top Five Most Anticipated December Films -- not the best or worst December films that the guys have seen, but the movies that left them the most excited, and the most ready to see.  Some films worked out (Rogue One!) and some didn't (Hobbits!) and many fell in between.

Episode 397: Books, Movies, and KB Hoyle

Sometimes the Deucecast guys -- Mikey and Dave -- like to try to class the place up by bringing in orthopedic surgeon and Nobel Prize for Medicine Nominee #TwitterlessDr Earl... and when that doesn't work, they bring in someone actually important.

First up, the birthday movies for September! Wicker Park (the beeeeessss!!) and Shawshank (Get busy livin or get busy podcastin') and Gone Girl and even a Bugs Bunny movie, and then, first time guest KB Hoyle joins the show.

K.B. Hoyle, award winning author of "The Gateway Chronicles" book series as well as the Breeder Cycle, answers questions about the publishing industry, movie favorites and reveals her fangirl status over Lord of the Rings and the like.

The crew reveals their top five movie adaptations of favorite books, including novels by Stephen King and John Grisham, classics about Mockingbirds and Cupboards, Hitchhikers Guides, lots of Jane Austen (and who is the best Mr Darcy), and much more.  Plus a great discussion on what is right and wrong about Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter books and movies.

Episode 327: Sci Fi Fantasy Films of This Century

It's a couple of guys who keep their heads in the clouds and gaze at the stars, so it's only fitting that Dave and Mikey discuss Fantasy and Science Fiction films. But since #Twitterless Dr Earl can't be found (he's doing a lint removal procedure from the naval of poor kids in Long Island), who better to invite onto the show than the TechnoRetro Dads  themselves, Shazbazzar and Jedi Shuuuuuuuuaaaaahhhhhh....

And the gang jumps right in, counting off their lists of what they consider to be their favorite fantasy/sci-fi films of this century... that's really anything released on January 1st, 2000, until... well, you know, today. Or the day of the recording, anyway.

The TRD's also give their take on "Ready Player One" before diving into the Top Ten, then the guys discuss at length -- and at depth -- the legacy and their adoration of films like "Children of Men" and the newest "Star Trek" and newer "Star Wars" films and Shaz defends "John Carter" while Dave defends "Lady in the Water".

Its a great two hours of sci fi fantasy fun and movie love!

Episode 147 -- Happy DeuceGiving!

Oh, but Peter Jackson did... he definitely did.

It's an annual tradition, when we at The Deucecast Movie Picture Show, give thanks for the things in the movies that we love, appreciation for theaters we enjoy, actors we cheer for and trends we follow... and by "annual tradition", we mean we did it a few years ago and wanted to do it again...

...so an annual tradition is born... again... we call it DeuceGiving!!

We are honored, first, as Shaz and Jedi Shua from The TechnoRetro Dads podcast calls in and enjoys an easy round of Simple Star Wars Trivia, a game that we hadn't played in quite a while, but Mikey was excited to get another crack at, while P!nky did it for the first time.  So, if nothing else, Shaz & Shua make this episode worth it!

Then, we tell the world what we are truly thankful for in the movie universe, everything from Marvel movies to Amy Adams (who d$ is in love with) to the finality of Hobbit movies... its a celebration of appreciation for theatrical awesomeness.

 A new way to assign movies just for this Christmas time, as we draw out of a hat the titles of the 6 worst Christmas movies we could find on Netflix... find out who is forced to see Santa Claus vs The Martians and who will be forced to watch some randomness subtitled Danger in the Manger.   And that might be the cream of the crop...

Finally, a rousing discussion of Hollywood awards, and whether we feel that "message movies" with perhaps decent performances is more highly regarded than a "original film" with great performances... and be surprised by the trends over the last few years, especially in Best Actress. 

Join us next week as well when we do our monthly ReFlicktions, covering everything from "Birdman" to "Interstellar" to "Big Hero 6" to the problem with Ice Cube in "Ride Along"--and find out what Pinky truly thought about his latest Pretty in Pink assignment...

Episode XIV: Podcast Day

We welcome back to the studio... Hurrrrricane Rhett!

The show opens up by a Fourth of July Discussion, as there were babies first holidays, date nights and even more...

Then the guys, including Hurricane Rhett, spend over an hour talking about frivolous, yet awesome things such as... Ashton Kutcher movies (okay, the movies aren't awesome, but the discussion is)... other actors like D.B. Sweeney and the coolness of Joseph Gordon-Levitt... wait, Joseph-Gordon Levitt? Ah, JGL it is... Michael Bay's musical choices... new Star Wars games... a "Larry Crowne" review... "Avalon High" on The Disney Channel... Hobbit casting... GI Joe casting... and Morris Chestnut's movie skillz...

Rhett's Rants throws down on Hashtags, call screeners, double parkers and of course, Facebook Moms. #WeLoveHearinRhettRantBecauseItIsSoFunnyLOL

The Big Three this week takes on the topic of Movies We Love, But Are Afraid To Admit--Cause You'll Make Fun Of Us, touching on incredible masterpieces like "Evolution", "Condor Man", "Biker Boyz" and even pre-crack Whitney!
