Episode 595: Our 1988 Favorites

It's always an honor and a pleasure to welcome back one of our absolute favorites and a spot of true class on our little show... and since Jenn Novotny was not available, we called upon our beloved Jennifer Kaufman as this week's #FanboySummer winner loser participant! (we kid, we kid... we love Kaufman)

First up, lots of birthday movies from the previous 5, 10, 20 and so on years -- including the original The Meg's 5th birthday, 2 Guns 10th birthday, The Fugitive's 30th birthday, and more.

Then, a round of Reel or Unreal, as the crew tries to guess the names of really bad films few people have heard of.

Finally, a great look at the year in film 1988.  Kaufman gives her reasons for picking this topic, and everyone gives their favorite films from that year including vintage Eddie Murphy... all the actors who were up for the legendary role Bob Hoskins got... the sad  tale of "Yep Yep Yep"... a shout out to Garrison's fave film... Seagal, Ernest, and Chevy all get love from Mikey... and Dr Earl gets pretentious, of course.

Episode 426: Clay Comforts

In these times, it's important to take time to be safe and healthy, but sometimes you need just a little more security in your earholes. Which is why The Deucecast Movie Show guys -- Mikey, Dave, and #TwitterlessDrEarl -- are bringing the world a list of "Comfort Movies"... movies that just make you feel good, or that you've seen so many times, it's a total escape to watch.

But to truly provide the comfort you may need, the DCMS brings on the dulcet tones of Friend of the Show Clay Shaver!  Back again to show up the crew with his awesome style, the show catches up with the old friend, bragging a little on the Spawn of Clay and her record making track style, as well as getting the latest COVID news from up north.

Then, in a game played for the first time since Episode 350 (Oct 2018), a rousing round of Reel or Unreel, as Dave calls out the movie description and Mikey, Clay, & #TwitterlessDrEarl have to decipher what is... well, real... or unreal...

And finally, the topic at hand, Comforting Films. Those movies that just make you feel good, that you can enjoy at any point in these troubled times. From a Jesus musical to a Nic Cage drama to retrieving a baseball to the movie that stole the Oscar from "Enchanted".

Episode 196: Deuceoween MikeTober 2015

It's the witching hour, it's the haunted time of the year, its the scariest part of the year... its Deuceoween, featuring the return of MikeTober!

First, d$, Mikey, Pinky, & Friend of the Show Jeremy Burgess, coming live from the Orlando Film Festival where he is promoting his Indie Short Film "Dead Saturday",dust off an old favorite called Reel or Unreel, guessing what movie is a real reel out of a group of unreal reels based on the terrible descriptions of the movies themselves... "Children of the Forlorn"?  "Hell Night"?  Or even "Measuring Tape, Measuring Death"?

Then Jeremy and Pinky discuss some of their favorite horror films seen this month--"Hausu" and "Cannibal Holocaust" and "The Vanishing" (both original and remake) and more.

We give a Wes Craven tribute, discussing a few of his classics like "The Hills Have Eyes", the Scream Series and the three Nightmare on Elm Street films he worked on, plus a few clunkers too ("The People Under the Stairs", anyone?), and the impact on the horror genre he had... plus, how great was it to be in a film called "Tales from the Crapper"?  That's not a fake title, by the way.

Then, MikeTober 2015 comes full circle, as Mikey discusses the five films assigned to him by the show and it's friends.  Mikey hates horror movies, so this was a chore for him... what does he think about "Hellraiser" or "Creepshow" or "The Omen" or "Nightmare on Elm Street"?   Plus more discussion on the real director of "Poltergeist".

And to discuss "Sleepaway Camp", we make an unplanned call to Remodeling Clay Shaver to discuss the film--and most notably, the ending of it all.

Episode 142 -- Getting Reel With Shotglass Digital

Hiya Moviegoers!

...crap... I think I just scared ourselves...

Anyway, the official announcement is... The Deucecast Movie Show is officially part of the SHOTGLASS DIGITAL NETWORK!!!!

The guys also bring back a classic, "Reel or Unreel", where you can decide for yourself if "Gobble Gobble (expletive deleted)", "Monsturd" or "They Love Their Grandchildren... Well Done" are actually real titles of real movies (one of them actually is)
