Val Kilmer swings and misses... Viola Davis swings and misses... Tom Hardy swings and misses... MCU hits a home run... Walter Matthau gets busy... death comes for us all... and a movie Mikey refuses to watch.

Episode 680: The Updated MCU Rankings

The MCU served us up another chapter in their long saga of Cinema, and it's time for d$, Mikey, and #XLessDrEarl to give an MCU Ranking. 

We invite in Fan Fave and Friend of the Show, the Pride of Villa Rica Georgia, Young Garrison "Spawn of Ryfun" Ryfun calls in, Marvel fan that he is. 

Starting with 2008's "Iron Man", the guys run through the entire MCU, and all of it's faves, giving their list of their faves, ultimately giving a Top Ten from each, then a show Top Ten. 

How does your top ten align with ours?

Here is the list of the MCU films & dates released

DCMS Ep 668: The Harrison Ford Top Ten

In honor of Captain America: Brave New World, your beloved Deucecast hosts make it all about one of Hollywood -- and our podcast's -- legendary figures: Harrison Ford.  Thus, it's time for the Harrison Ford Top Ten.

First up, a quick review of Captain America Brave New World - likes, dislikes, and a tease for next week's ReFlicktions.

And in a fun game, it's a round of Rotten Tomatoes with all February movies - random years, random weekends, random movie titles... and maybe the first time Charlie Chan films are mentioned. 

Finally, a complete listing of Harrison Ford's entire filmography, as d$, Mikey, and #XLessDrEarl go movie by movie, title by title... sometimes blowing past them ("Journey to Shiloh"? "Zabriskie Point"??), sometimes spending a few minutes ("Star Wars"! "Blade Runner"!) and sometimes having full on discussions ("Working Girl"!) 

And at the end, the official Deucecast Harrison Ford Top Ten. 

Also... does anyone know where to find "Killroy Was Here" on streaming?

Episode 642: My Favorite Summer... Fantasy Sci-Fi

It took the whole summer, but The Deucecast Movie Show finally managed to get a podcasting legend superstar... Steve Glosson makes his glorious return to the show! 

The latest, and one of three remaining, topics left in this year's My Favorite Summer series is our favorite Fantasy & Sci-Fi films!  Drew Goddard gets some love, we somehow talk about Mary Hart and Leeza Gibbons, and of course, most people don't follow the rules as out of three Top Tens, at least 40 movies are mentioned.

Episode 620: Let's Dune This... March ReFlicktions

The awards season is almost over - we've got a few days until the Academy Awards, and another day or so after until the nominations for the real awards, the Deucies

Until then, it's time to talk about the films that have been viewed, seen, watched, absorbed and enjoyed in the last month or so... and on the heels of the biggest movies the year -- Dune 2 -- its time to talk about it! 

First up, a few birthday movies - what did come out in March in 2019, 2014, 1994, 1979 and so on... including the first mention of "Wing Commander" in what is likely a very long time.

Then, we dive right in, showcasing classic movies like "Safety Last" and "Gimme Shelter" and Oscar bait, like "Maestro" and "Strays" and fresh on the screen, like "Spaceman" and yes, the full review of the crapfests known as "Argylle" and "Madame Web".

Plus, Rachel McAdams in a period piece... Dr Earl enjoying the Barb... why Michael hates "May December" so much... and could Carey Mulligan make every single thing she's in just that much better?

And finally, the long lost return of Assigned Films, introducing the "Time Bandits" rule.

Episode 619: See This, Not That - the '24 Oscar Edition

It's Oscar season, and we keep discussing the event leading up to Hollywood's big night (admittedly, The Deucies are Hollywood's REAL Big Night, but they haven't figured it out yet.)

And in an Oscar tradition that none of us are sure we've done before, Mikey and d$ invite in Friend of the Show, Lil G, Pride of Marietta Georgia, Radio Banker Apprentice, Garrison Ryfun to discuss the films of the major Oscar nominees, and which of those you should see... and which you should avoid at all costs.

First, though, Madame Web.  All three have seen it. All three have opinions, mostly starting with "Yikes."

Then, the just-announced casting of The MCU version of Fantastic Four -- are Vanessa Kirby, Pedro Pascal, and the other two the right call? Were there better names out there?

Finally... starting at the top with Bradley Cooper, we go through 13 actors and actresses with a larger body of work (as in, no Lily Gladstone!), discussing their films we recommend to watch, and which ones you should probably skip overall, plus a Wild Card choice from each. We talk Greta! Emma! Margot! Ruffalo! Gosling! RDJ! and more.  Plus, Mikey's hatred for "La La Land".

Episode 611: The 2023 Lumps of Coal

Like the Daytona 500, it's a tradition unlike any other. A look back at the films this year that just made our heads spin in circles about why they are just so not good.

Out of the dozens of films The Deucecast Movie Show loved, out of the hundreds of movies the Deucecast Movie Show liked... there are a handful of movies -- or in #TwitterlessDrEarl's case, tropes, patterns, directors and the like -- that just didn't land... or maybe landed with a crash and burn in a bad way.

First up, a quick spoiler-free review of the latest, and possibly final film in this current DCU series -- "Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom". Some honest takes on what worked (a few things) and what didn't (a lot of things).

Then, the top (bottom) movies of the year for Mikey, d$, and #XLessDrEarl... the movies that made all of them cringe, throw popcorn, get upset at how bad they are, or even disappointed at how good they were supposed to be. 

The last episode of the year!!

Dave, Mikey, and #TwitterlessDrEarl take on the big films of the month - The Automat documentary, Clerks III, and J-Lo's revenge drama The Mother - while paying attention to the forgotten films you may not have heard of. Something Guardians Volume something and Fast 10: Your Seatbelts and Chris Evans gets Ghosted.

Dave goes old school Guy Ritchie and Orson Welles biopic with #TwitterlessDrEarl catching a sneaker flick, and Mikey's Scott Adkins Watch rolls on. Plus another Bond, more Tom, and even the Jonas Brothers and such.

Episode 582: Ranking the MCU Last 10

It's the end of an era in the MCU, as Guardians of the Galaxy Volume 3 has just hit theaters - and it's the last hurrah of the Marvel Cinematic Universe group of characters that link audiences to the Infinity Saga... sure, some heroes will carry over, but it does feel like we are saying good-bye to the MCU as we know it.

But what kind of ending is it, and how does it stack up against the rest of the MCU films released since Avengers: Endgame?

That's what the Deucecast crew aims to find out -- with Mikey, Dave, and #TwitterlessDrEarl on the show, and Young Spawn of Ryfun, the Pride of Albany, GA, Lil G, but now he's a Big G, fresh off of his prom and headed to Senior Portraits, Garrison Ryfun joins the show to discuss and rank in their own top tens those very films.

Starting with Spider-Man Far From Home, then to Black Widow, where the show picks up another guest, one Steve Glosson, who comes in to present his own list.

Then the Shang-Chi, Eternals, Spider-Man No Way Home, then Doctor Strange & the Multiverse of Madness, with Thor Love & Thunder, Black Panther Wakanda Forever, then Ant-Man and the Wasp Quantumania, and ending with Guardians 3, it's a long discussion, but a worthwhile one.

Plus, everyone but Steve (who questions as to whether he's seen it or not) also give their own quick review on Guardians 3 (SPOILER FREE, by the way).

And stick around for the ending, which goes off the rails as usual, from who gets invited to the show, Mikey's dismissal of Scotty Ryfun's concerns, Punisher movies, TMNT movies, Cannonball Run Criterion Collections and so much more. And of course, Casey's Biggest Hits.

Episode 564: The 2022 Lumps of Coal

Like the Masters, its a tradition unlike any other... the Annual Lumps of Coal episode.

Out of the dozens of films The Deucecast Movie Show loved, out of the hundreds of movies the Deucecast Movie Show liked... there are a handful of movies -- or in #TwitterlessDrEarl's case, tropes, patterns, directors and the like -- that just didn't land... or maybe landed with a crash and burn in a bad way.

Hopping straight to it, the guys rail on how hard it is to muck up a great cast and make a terrible movie (yet Hollywood finds a way)... when the crimes of the future becomes a crime in making a film in the present... when Jessica Chastain tries 355, but delivers a Zero... when Benaffleck Ana de Armes' his marriage... the Jim Cameron movie that won't end... and Zac Efron flames out big time.

Plus, this year's winner of "The Movie that Broke Mikey".

• Avatar Way of Water (in theaters)
• Blacklight (Amazon Prime; Paramount+; EPIX)

Episode 553: Glosson is So Extra

Due to a number of factors including a hurricane that kept d$'s vacation totally up in the air and a Sunday night unavailability and Monday night plans that were set then were squashed and of course, the fallback plan... an ep of The Deucecast Extra, all for your listening ears.

While Dave makes his way back from Orlando, Mikey, and #TwitterlessDrEarl welcome in the Pride of Eatonton, the Spawn of Ryfun, Lil G in the hizzy, along with Wyoming's Best Hope, J Roth.

Steve Glosson.

Thor and Thor Love & Thunder... and weird aliens in Star Wars and Good Will Hunting and Fantastic Four and The Eternals and Dibello the Lawyer and classic Steve Glosson and The Big Honkin Show's return and Rise of Skywalker and Michael hates "Willow" and "Blade" and Superman II's Donnor Cut vs Donnor party

Episode 550: The Summer Winners and Losers

The fall is almost here, and if you haven't heard the Fall Movie Preview from last week, go back and listen.  But as the Deucecast boys -- Mikey, d$, and #TwitterlessDrEarl -- puts the summer to bed, first with the end of #FanboySummer and the look ahead to the new season, one final nail in the summer comes in the form of the Winners & Losers of the Summer Movie Season.

First up, a little Box Office Mojo, figuring out which movies crossed that magical $100,000,000 number (also the number d$ owed on Discover Card circa 2001). 

Then, five winners and five losers from each Mikey and Dave, while Earl can proclaim all the winners, his kind heart only allows him to discuss three losers. 

We also discuss the problem with Kevin Hart... the problem with Audrey Plaza... the BIG problem wit that new demon show... the problem with 2022 Tom Hanks... love for Zac Efron... being impressed with Elvis... more Cha Cha love... the movie that broke Mikey... how a stupid cartoon might be the smartest thing on TV... missing girlfriends and catfishing... and Tom Cruise being the most best Tom Cruiseiest ever...

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...

Mikey, d$, and The Surgical Dr Earl welcome in the Spawn of Ryfun, Lil G Dawg, to discuss the bad, the terrible, the horrible, and the worst movies seen all year long. 

First up, a few "gifts" from the previous episode, as Dr Earl and Lil G discuss whatever the crap Malick is doing, while d$ gives Dr Earl his epic present for the year.  And Dr Earl hands out some gifts of his very own! 

Then, a look at the worst of the worst, with bad Tom Holland... worst Anne Hathaway... crap Marvel films... sucktastic remakes... horrifically bad horror flicks... awful Lebron... a Costas Mandylor film... disappointing Jessie Spano... boring Hugh Jackman... the well made, good movies that d$ just didn't like, or get, the Nic Cage movie that broke Lil G...

Episode 489: Top Summer Movies 2000 to 2004

The summer is half over, and the summer series is rounding the corner toward homestretch (that's a baseball metaphor for you folks out there). Mikey and Dave, again sans #TwitterlessDrEarl, take up the mantle of more summer cinema, this time the best from Memorial Day to Labor Day in 2000 to 2004, and the guys bring back Miss Independent himself Jeremy Burgess to the show.

After catching up with The Burgeler (new reality show premiered this Fall on ABC), they play a little 2000s themed Rotten Tomatoes game, with the possible first time mention of "Shark Tale" ever on the podcast (and maybe the first time since the early 2000s anyone has thought of it), then onto the Top Five.

Nic Cage and Costner both make random appearances, with Spielberg films about airports and pre-cognitions also show up. Plus, the lower of the Mission Impossibles, Jamie Foxx and his Collateral, the beginning of the super hero era, Harry Potter shows up, Nicole Kidman's classics, Jay and Silent Bob go after their MoFo movie check, and the Black Pearl.

And Dougray Scott. Or Doogray, as it may be.
