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.  

Mikey, d$, and #XTwitterlessDrEarl bring back Friend of the Show and Fan Fave The Burgler himself, Jeremy "Miss Independent" Burgess.  After giving the update on what to see at the upcoming Sidewalk Film Festival, the guys jump into their Top 10s of Suspense and Horror films all around.

Episode 524: The REAL Best Picture Nominees 2002

The award season is on the fast track to the big one, the Academy Awards, and it was time to revisit some of the previous Oscar seasons... specifically, the Best Picture nominees from years gone by.

And to accomplish this feat of movie strength, Mikey, Dave, and #TwitterlessDrEarl bring in Show Fave and Listener Roth from Wyoming!

First, a list of Birthday Movies -- including Logan turning five, and IN LIKE FLINT... my favourite movie! 

Then to add to the Best Picture nominees of 2002! 

Essentially... there were only five nominees for Best Picture. Within a decade, they would allow up to ten films to be nominated.  So it's our job to come up with our own lists of the other five that should have also been nominated... note: we CANNOT remove any of the existing films, we can only add to the list. 

And at the end of the show, the crew all submit one film each that should have been nominated, then a quick discussion on the final film, to come up with a Deuce Best Picture nominee list.

The existing nominees for the Best Picture category in 2003 (for movie year 2002) are Gangs of New York, The Hours, Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers, The Pianist, and the year's big winner, Chicago... so the crew asks, "Did they get it right?"

This is the last of this part of the series for this year. Next February, we will pick back up with the Best Picture nominees of 2003 and continue through 2007. 

Episode 515: The January ReFlicktions Part One

If you thought the beginning of the year meant a slow down in movies seen by The Deucecast Movie Show crew -- Mikey, d$, and Dr. Earl -- then you obviously don't know these guys very well.

The year starts with a bang with a heaping helping of film reviews, both new -- Spidey, West Side Story, Swan Song -- and old -- To the Wonder, Ernest -- and many, many more...

So many, in fact, that the show was chopped into two pieces... this week, you get a great discussion on the Golden Globes, with winners announced as we record, plus the sad state of the once proud, if not eccentric affair. 

Then, reviews on almost 20 movies, with just as many coming next week.

Here's what you can expect this week, including where they are streaming at recording time. 

• Nightmare Alley (in theaters)
• The Hand of God (Netflix)
• Ernest Saves Christmas (Disney+)
• Love Hard (Netflix)
• Swan Song (AppleTV+)
• Mother Android (Hulu)
• Christmas With the Chosen: The Messengers (Peacock)
• Closed for Storm (Amazon Prime)
• Juice WRLD: Into the Abyss (HBO Max)
• The Nowhere Inn (Hulu)
• West Side Story (in theaters)
• Belfast (in theaters)
• The Kings Man (in theaters)
• The Matrix Resurrections (in theaters / HBO Max)
• Spiderman: No Way Home (in theaters)
• To the Wonder (TubiTV)
• Meet the Ricardos (Amazon Prime)
• Licorice Pizza (in theaters)
• Those Who Wish Me Dead (HBO Max)

Next week... we ReFlicked on Street Gang... The French Dispatch... Red Rocket... Pig... The Tender Bar... The 355... and many more!

Episode 447: DaveSplosion ReFlicktions

It's the Annual Event of the Summer, the bomb dot com as it were, where Dave watches the five films assigned to him by the rest of the Deucecast crew and Friends of the Show.

First up, Mikey, Dave, and #TwitterlessButNotDiscordlessDrEarl catch up on reviewing all the films seen in recent weeks, then Dave reviews The Black Hole (Scotty Ryfun's pick)... Attack the Block (Spawn of Ryfun's pick)... El Gringo (from Mikey)... 1941 (Dr Earl)... and Ronin (From Burgey)
