Episode 621: The Almost Top 10 Top Five

The Academy Awards are finally completed, which means the Awards Season has but one stop... the Deucie Awards.  And to give out the awards, you need the nominations... so tonight, two special guests and Friends of the Show step up to reveal all that you have been wishing for (and you'll find below)

First, though, Mikey, d$, and #XLessDrEarl discuss a little Oscar recap -- what was snubbed, the surprises, the chalk of it all, the good parts and the bad. 

Then, they take a look at their fave films of the year, and while all of their Top 10s are coming up in a few weeks, along with the actual Deucie Awards, they loo
k just outside the Top 10, at numbers 11 through 15 on their lists. What just missed out on Mikey's Top 10, sitting in that next 5? What made d$'s 11 to 15, that may have made in the other guys top 10s?  And what movies are crossovers, appearing on everyone's lists?

And then finally... the nominations are out...

Episode 601: Operation ReFlicktions

Finally, the Deucecast Movie Show has crossed the Rubicon... the Podicon... the RubiPod? of 600, and now Mikey, d$, and #XlessDrEarl moves on!

And moving on begins immediately with a new ReFlicktions show! Since there hasn't been one of these since August, there is a lot to say!

We double up on Jason Statham, dive deep into Jewish teen angst on Netflix, talk about films from Deucie nominated Friend of the Show Burgess, give you the good (Mia Goth!) and the bad (No more Vacation Friends!) and the obscure (who is Flora?)

Plus, a brand new Top 5 of 2023 from everyone, and... MikeTober festivities begin with the assigned films from d$, Dr Earl, Burgess, Ryfun, Aussie Nate, and Roth from Wyoming.
