Episode 660: The 2024 Christmas Gifts (and our Lumps of Coal!)

For the 10th straight year, Mikey and d$ are giving away the Gifts of Christmas!  #XLessDrEarl has been joining the ep for many years now, and as Kaufman makes the Christmas Ep her home annually, so goes Garrison "Pride of Dahlonega" Ryfun with Christmas Gifts... and this year, we combine it with our annual Lumps of Coal ep!

So first, we highlight the lowlights of the year... films that didn't just quite resonate with us. Some from good directors, some with good scripts, and even some with great casts -- but movies that fell flat for one reason or another... and leave it to Dr. Earl to bring the big names to the list.

Then, after we bring the negative, we look at the positive, giving some great gifts all around -- to our fave actors, to our fave directors, even to studios to get them a little help.  Plus, a few movies seen on behalf of others... and the first tangible gift ever given in a Christmas Gifts episode!

Merry Christmas, ya filthy animals! 

Episode 643: My Favorite Summer... The Directors

It's the true dog days of summer, as My Favorite Summer has only two eps left before the big pay-off -- Mikey, d$'s and #XLessDrEarl's top ten fave films of all time. 

But first, after listing our favorite actors and actresses, it's time for the Directors!  We invite in Friend of the Show and Elder Movie Statesman, the Voice of Marietta, Scotty Ryfun! 

We chat about our fave movie filmmakers, the movies they have given us, the styles we love, and our own qualifications of how they are favorites... and Ryfun gives quite a defense of both George Lucas and "The Rise of Skywalker". It's not really right, but it's at least passionate. 

And even the Spawn of Ryfun shows up!

Episode 641: My Favorite Summer... The Horror of Suspense

Only a few weeks left as My Favorite Summer begins to wind down... we've laughed at the comedies, we've cried at the dramas, we've sweated over the action, we've fawned over our favorite actresses and fangirled on our fave actors... now, grab your blankets and hide your eyes, its the Horror and Suspense of it all.

Episode 512: Christmas Gifts 2021

If you listen to the episode, you may recognize the opening theme, the best time of the year, when the Deucecast Movie Show plays the official Christmas theme of the show.  It truly is a Marshmallow World.

Dave and Mikey, sans #TwitterlessDrEarl, are here once again to give out their annual Christmas gifts to the stars, and joining the show for the second time in the Christmas season, it's Spawn of Ryfun, Lil G himself Garrison Ryfun.

First up, a quick conversation on Spider-Man No Way Home, then a round of Box Office Mojo, looking at the biggest money makers of 2021...

Then the guys begin to give out the gifts!  Ridley Scott has a present to open, if he can take it without telling Garrison to F off... Bruce Willis finds out that some gifts are harder to receive than others... Garrison plays piecemaker between Hobbs and Dom... and Dave has a few films to dish out to the group.

Episode 505: A Century of November Films

Once a year, the Halloween season ends and the Christmas season revs up, leaving that cold, boring month of November right in the middle. The Deucecast Movie Show refuses to let November go, so Mikey, d$, and #TwitterlessDrEarl takes a look at the month from last year back to 2000.

First, the November birthday movies, finding out how long ago Doctor Strange and Domestic Disturbance were released, and exactly how long ago did Time Bandits show up?

Then the guys look ahead in November, with releases coming, releases like the new claymation Robin Robin... Clifford the Big Red Dog... King Richard... and of course, Ghostbusters Afterlife

Then, a look at our favorite movies released to theaters in November -- Honest Abe and Dave's girl Amy and Pixar classics and Disney animated classics and much more!

Finally, a quick review of Last Night in Soho (and stick around for an Antlers chat)
