Episode 676: The 2025 Deucie Awards (and our Top 10 of the Year)

 With the year 1/4th over, it is time to finally stick a fork into 2024 movies, with our list of our favorite films... AND awarding the best films of the year.

It's the coveted Deucie Awards, and for the 12th year in a row, Mikey, d$ and Dr. Earl are here to give out the best in Comedy, Drama, Cinematography, Animation, Documentary, Music, Screenplay, Sci-Fi/Horror, Brain Candy, and of course, the acting awards, direction, and Best Picture!

The Brutalist has a record 8 nominations, with Civil War getting 7 noms, A Complete Unknown with 6, while Dune Part Two and Wicked each getting 5. 

Can Denis Villeneuve get his 3rd Deucie Award of his career?  Can Saoirse Ronan get her third?  Or can Florence Pugh join Denis, Saoirse, and Adam Driver as the only movie makers to get 2?  

Plus, what films impressed Dr. Earl, Mikey, and d$ that they end up on their respective Top Ten lists of the year?  And you'll recognize a lot of the voices you hear on this ep, as we get all of our faves to assist!

Episode 635: The Extra Stuff

The My Favorite Summer series takes a slight break this week, but not to give a classic episode... this week, d$, Mikey, and #XlessDrEarl drops in your lap a bunch of extra content...

First, the Deucies Reaction Show -- friends of the show, Garrison "Pride of Sylvester" Ryfun, Roth from Wyoming, Aussie Nate, and The Burgeler himself, Jeremy Burgess give their thoughts on the awards given, those snubbed, who should have won and who did win based on The 11th Annual Deucie Awards, episode 626.

Next, a little extra Jeremy Burgess, giving his thoughts on possible winners of the Deucie Screenplay Award.

If this is your first time listening to our show... we beg you, find another episode to get used to us.

If you are a regular listener... first, we're sorry, but then, THANKS and enjoy the randomness this week, and we'll see you for Documentaries next week!

Episode 626: The 2024 Deucie Awards (and the Top 10 of the Year)

Normally, when you hear "A tradition unlike any other", you think The Masters, as that's the slogan. However, it is a slogan that more closely describes THE DEUCIE AWARDS!!

For the 11th time, Dave and Mikey, now joined by #XLessDrEarl, preside over the "people's movie awards"... and the top 10 of the year as well! 

And to assist, the Deucecast crew invites in many friends of the show, from Burgess to Kaufman to Aussie to the Ryfuns and even more -- with an assist from The Main Street Electrical Podcast co-host Jenn Novotny, it's quite an award-fest!

In addition, Dave, Mikey, and Dr Earl give their own fave films of the year -- you can likely guess the films that make all three lists, but there are a few out of left field as well.

Make sure to catch Ep 621 from a few weeks ago, where we do our "just outside the top ten" list...

Make sure to follow along with the winners!

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 617: Oscars 10 to 5

While Mikey and d$ looked ahead to the movies to come for 2024 in last week's auction ep (thanks to Roth from Wyoming and Lil G, aka The Spawn of Ryfun, aka the Pride of Columbus, Garrizzle Ryfizzle for joining us), this week... we take a look at the past.

It's Hollywood Lore that the Best Picture nominee list went from 5 to anywhere from 7 to 10 after "The Dark Knight" was denied the honor in 2008's list (hence, 2009's list of 10 films!), but we wondered what would happen if they kept it at 5 films only... 

Meaning, in some years, the list needed to be culled by a couple of films... in others, as many as 5 had to be cut.  It's a great discussion on movies loved and not-so-loved, movies worthy and therefore argued over, and movies passed over quickly, lucky to have been mentioned at all. 

List of Best Picture nominees each year from 2009 to current - first nominee listed was the Best Picture winner from the year, aside from 2024's list.  Beginning in 2013, movies with an * denotes Deucie Winner for Best Picture in that year.

It's a tradition unlike any other... no, not the Masters, nor the Kentucky Derby, nor the BAFTAs... nope, it's the Deucie Awards!

For the 9th consecutive year, including 8 years in a row and this one, the Deucecast Movie Show hosts compile a list of nominees to watch, consider, vote on, and finally award the proverbial Golden Deuce Academy Globe VIBE statue to any one - or many - of over 40 films nominated for 16 awards...

Will Jess Chastain take home the Deucie to match her Oscar?  Will Jason Isaacs get finally get some love after his tour de force on MASS?  Can Hans Zimmer take another step closer to a DEGOT? And will international films find themselves in the spotlight this year.

Along the way, Dave, Mikey, and #Twitterless Dr Earl count down their own individual lists of their favorite 10 from the previous year gone by... including films that only get on one list, like that Jesus music doc Dave loves... and movies that are on 67% of the lists, like Wes Anderson's latest quirkity cinema... or movies that are on various spots of all three lists, like PTA's newest masterpiece or maybe a web slingin' modern classic...

And shockingly, this ep comes in well under 2 hours.

Enjoy the show as we put a button on 2021!
