Episode 455: Hail to the Chief

Hail to the Chief, he's the Chief that we all Hail! Mikey and Dave, sans #TwitterlessDrEarl this time, jump right in with an episode long version of Like, Love, Hate, Hate-Like.

The concept is to take various Movie Presidents - those who have played the POTUS in a film or two, and come up with a movie that the guys both just like.... then a film the guys love... then one they pretty much can't stand... and finally, a movie they kinda hate themselves for liking.

Harrison Ford, Morgan Freeman, Michael Douglas, Charlize Theron, Bill Murray, Michael Keaton, and Chris Rock all get the L/L/H/HL treatment

Episode 295: Sidewalk Review // Fall Movie Preview

Welcome back to the best movie podcast you're listening to at this very moment, with Mikey, Dave, and Pinky attempting to tickle your movie senses.

Joining the guys in-studio is both Wit Stillman Fan, Terrence Malick Apologist, Lover of All Things Brie (Alison, Larsen, Cheese), Film Historian Extraordinaire & World Renowned Urologist Dr Earl, and then Miss Independent, Friend of the Show Jeremy Burgess.

After a quick introduction, plus a rundown of movies that have eminated from Birmingham's Sidewalk Film Fest, and a shout out to Mr Worldwide Pit Bull, the guys get into a rousing round of The Ryan Phillippe Game -- Morgan Freeman! Steven Spielberg! Kevin Spacey!  And much more, including a Triggered Dr. Earl.

A Sidewalk Film Fest brings a quick review of several movies that ran in the annual film festival in Birmingham, including the Whitney Houston documentary "Can I Be Me?", the Baltimore step-team doc "Step", some Yiddish language movie that only Burgess could love, and a flick that hit theaters over the summer, "A Ghost Story".

Then, the Fall Movie Preview, taking you from September to November and all the major films set to debut in theaters.

Among topics and movies discussed... The genius of Ed Harris... Stephen King movies... 70s tennis... Tom Cruise's strange role... "mother!"'s strange trailer... a lesson on Denis Villenueve's name... another Noah Baumbach film about family... "The Justice League Cloverfield"... Greta Gerwig... Burgess' top Indy films coming soon... Frances McDormands Oscar chances...

Episode LVII: Indiana Dave and the Podcast of the Crystal Skull

Sometimes, when Mike and d$ have Hurricane Rhett in the studio, Mike and d$ sit back and ask themselves "What could be better than having one Barnett on the show?"  That question was answered for us on The Deucecast Episode LVII:  Indiana Dave and the Podcast of the Crystal Skull... the answer to that age-old query of "What is better than one Barnett" is quite simply... "Two Barnetts".

That's right, Hurricane Rhett and his boo Amarylis join us in studio to crack wise, get funny with the ha ha and add to what is already an exceptional hour and change in podcast excellence. 

Its the 1980s Borat!  What a country!!!

The group kicks off the show with discussions on losing power... taking the kids to Atlanta... the new Earth Fare healthy supermarket... the alternatives to Scotty's space burial... visiting Branson, Missouri... and the crime of missing Yakov Smirnoff...

Other topics discuss more Star Wars... a Twitter slap from Charlie to Jack... a viewing of Tower Heist... the box office prowess of The Avengers... and the return of one of Mikey's favorite kiddy cartoons.

Mikey brings the crappy music once again with more Alabama Shakes... and d$ continues his Buried Treasure series with Part II of the Forgotten American Treasures with a huge group from the 80s that is largely missing from America's current culture. 

Rhett's Rants blows through the studio like a Hurricane, and once again, no one is disappointed... topics this time include gated communities... cute animals on Facebook... grown men and their ponytails... inspirational captions on Facebook... and pretty much any stay-at-home mom with too much time on their hands when it comes to Facebook postings all day long. 

The Big Three jumps in on more misery with the worst acting performances we've ever seen, including stellar bad turns from the likes of Kevin Costner... Tom Hanks... Vince Vaughn... and even the likes of legends like Gary Oldman and Morgan Freeman... oh, and somebody doing a horrible Michael Jackson impersonation.  Too soon?

Don't forget to join us next week when Steph Rector makes her return appearance, with our Big Three being Favorite Happy Songs.  Plus, another edition of Forgotten American Treasures from d$, more crap from Mikey... and more fun in The Deucecast Episode LVIII: The Podcast Identity

Episode XXXVIII: Podcast With A Vengence

Ladies and Gentlemen,

As you know, we have something special down here at The Deucecast Studios this evening.  A recording from The Deucecast Podcast.

Yeah!  Its the Deucecast Episode XXXVIII:  Podcast with a Vengeance!   We welcome Dr. Feelgood, aka, Dr. Earl into the studios as the guys kick things off with everything from bad sandwich artistry at Subway to the goodness of Jimmy Johns... from our technology addictions to Dr. Earls foray into the Apple World.

Mikey brings us a new band called My Pet Dragon, which he loves.  At least he does.  Then, we kick off our five part series on The Saddest Songs Ever Written, with songs #25 to #21...

The Big Three salutes one of our favorites, that being Morgan Freeman, as we discuss our favorite roles by this Hollywood icon... we hit the big ones like "Se7en" and "The Shawshank Redemption", but also some smaller movies like "Hard Rain", "Red" and even "High Crimes" with Ashley Judd.


One of our favorite scenes ever, from "Glory" (d$'s 44th favorite film of all time)... Morgan Freeman's "soul clap" is fantastic.  I also feel like the term "our great gettin' up morning" should be used more often.

More Star Wars news... Betty White's birthday bash... and a walk on the Bark Side.  We also lead to a documentary discussion, with films such as "Paradise Lost 3: Purgatory"... "The Cave of Forgotten Dreams"... "Jacka$$ 3"... and a huge discussion on the state of America's education system.  No, I'm being serious.  It was an actual debate based on views of the movie "Waiting for Superman".

And, another real debate on Comedies and their place in The Academy Awards, especially when it comes to "Bridesmaids".

Join us next week as Mikey gives a very special Music Minute... another Buried Treasure is unearthed... Part 2 of "The Saddest Songs Ever", giving you #20 through 16 with some Superstars, some pre-skank Mariah and some Phil Collins--but no, not that song, the other one.  Plus, The Big Three Movies that We Feel Like We Should Have Seen By Now... that's all on The Deucecast Episode XXXIX:  Podcast Free or Die Hard.
