Episode 158: The RomCom Spectacular

We are three guys who dare to ask the tough questions... like, we know we only use 10% of our brains... but what if we only use 10% of our hearts?

It's the Valentine's Episode of The Deucecast Movie Show, as we set forth to talk about great romantic comedies... and to help us do that, we invite in the biggest ol' softy that we know, Steve Glosson making another appearance from Geek Out Loud.

Some of the randomness that is discussed before we even get to the RomCom countdown includes:

• Defending the Prequels
• The Love of Michael Bolton
• Carrying a Watermelon, Dirty Dancing Style
• Steve Glosson's background and why he's the geek he is
• The problem with "Love means never having to say you're sorry"
• Can you be a Christ Follower and not like Courageous?

There is also a crazy game of Rotten Tomatoes, with the chick flick theme...

And then, the romantic comedies we love the most, including The American President... 50 First Dates... Chasing Amy... You've Got Mail... and Die Hard.  Wait, Die Hard?  And True Lies?  What the...?

Plus, Pinky pays off the Valentine's Day Movie assignments... how much did he really like The Way We Were and what does he truly think about Somewhere in Time?

Find out by downloading this week's awesome episode!

And next week, the Official Deucecast Movie Show Oscar Predictions, and... the nominations for the 2nd Annual Deucie Awards...

Episode 40: The Podshank Redemption

Its a big deal around here, as The Deucecast reaches the Big 4-0... no, not 40 years, or even 40 months... but 40 weeks!  Our 40th episode brings Hurricane Rhett up in the hizzy, fo' rizzy... okay, that's possibly the whitest thing I've ever typed...

Did Hurricane Rhett really dig this, or was he just showboating?
Listen and decide for yourself.

Right off the bat, we try some really good drinks from Rob... that being, Rob's Really Good drinks.  Hurricane Rhett even gets a delighted surprise as he enjoys his cucumberness.

Then the show gets rolling as Mikey, d$ and Rhett discuss movies like "Rango" and "The Green Hornet"... the attainability of Kate Jackson vs. the other Angels, and which of the new Angels is most attainable (Drew Barrymore for d$, Lucy Liu for Mikey)... puppy love... puppy hospital hate... and a Music Minute that sounds like Harold Faltermayer ("Alex F") and Herbie Hancock threw up in the same petry dish and they spilled it on a 1984 synthesizer.

Other things discussed in earnest vary by such topics as "World's Dumbest..." on TruTV... the death of Ian Abercrombie (no Fitch, though)... Ryan Seacrest and Mark Cuban... "Super High Me" and "Freakonomics"... SAG Award highlights... debating whether to go see "Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace" in 3D... and our very first Kenny G Watch!

Carl Weathers gets some real love in a great Buried Treasure... and d$'s countdown of The Top 25 Saddest Songs Ever continues with Part III, including heartbreak from Whitney Houston... heartache from Blessid Union of Souls... misery from Whitney... irony from Ho-Jo... and this gem, featured in "Notting Hill", d$'s 15th favorite film of all time:



Finally, another edition of Reel or Unreel, plus The Big Three Biggest Drop-Offs from One Sequel to the Next, including movies from such franchises as Star Trek... Grease... Superman... Rocky... Indiana Jones... and even Teen Wolf!

Join us next week as we attempt to bring in The Good Doctor Earl, and ask him what exactly is Mesothelioma?... more crap from Mikey... Bonnie Raitt and Brian McKnight in Part IV of the Saddest Songs Ever... and The Big Three Best Presidents in TV and Movie History.  That's all on The Deucecast Episode XLI:  The Podfather!
