Episode 670: The 2025 Spring Movie Preview

The winds of March are upon us, and Spring is right around the corner... as is the latest Movie Preview!

Mikey has put forth hours and hours and hours of time copying and pasting, and now he, d$, and #XLessDrEarl are presenting all the movies you will want to see over the next few months!

First, a quick recap of the Academy Awards... what they got right, what they got wrong, and did Zoe Saldana earn her trophy?

Then, the birthday movies of 2020, 2015, 2010 and more -- as we enter the Five Years since the world (and theaters) shut down.  And even a mention of Baby Secret of the Lost Legend.

Finally, the Spring Movie Preview with new flicks from Soderbergh and Cronenberg... Samara Weaving back onscreen... will Snow White actually succeed... Ben Affleck is back to do some more counting... Paul Rudd killing a unicorn... Statham back to do what Statham does... Alejandro and the No Bueno Day... Not that Havoc, this new Havoc... and does anyone actually like Blake Lively?

Over 60 films are previewed!

Episode: The Deucecast Afterlife

Inching ever closer to the monumental episode #700, Mikey, d$, and #XLessDrEarl are here to discuss not just life in the movies... but AFTERLIFE in the movies.  The coolest, scariest, most unique, or best (subjective) portrayals of the Heavenly Realm... or the Hot Basement... and maybe even some purgatory in between.

First, the Angelic Trio checks out the box office in 2024, with a round of Box Office Mojo - figuring out what films made the most money... domestically of course (because we aren't communists), and in the calendar year.

Then, a list of films featuring the Big Guy Upstairs, Ol' No Shoulders down below, a few angels, a few demons and more.  From Bill and Ted to Swayze to Albert Brooks to some Pixar Dr. Earl has never seen, it's a fun list. A blessed list, we hope. Thoughts and prayers. 

Has to be blessed with Malick, right?  Right? 

Finally, a quick look at the new film "Companion", and both d$ and Mikey's recommendations.

Mikey, Dave and Pinky welcome in Terrence Malick Apologist and Film Historian Dr Earl as well as the millennial indie film nerd, Jeremy Burgess.

A rousing game of Western Rotten Tomatoes (Quigley Down Under has what rating??) takes place with a thrilling finish, and then onto Sidewalk...

Pinky & Burgess give their take on the best films (and maybe worst) to come out of the local movie festival, including a return of "Raiders", a beloved film called "Little Sister", a fowl film called "Chicken People", and a crazy doc called "Kate becomes Christine"
