Episode 663: 2024's Surprise & Delights

 It's become an annual tradition that started with d$ wanting an excuse to talk about Jackie Chan's "The Foreigner"... a movie not worth of a Top Ten of the year appearance, but worthy of discussion... a surprise, nay, an absolute delight. Hence, the annual "Surprise & Delight" episode!

These are movies that surprised and delighted Mikey, d$, #XLessDrEarl, and even Friend of the Show, Miss Independent himself, Jeremy Burgess.

First up, some chatter about Eric Roberts' new autobiography, plus thoughts on the indie movie scene. Then, Jason Statham's IP'ness... Jake Gyllenhaal's "Road House"... Hugh Grant's winning villainy... d$ getting it wrong, then getting it Hot n Frosty right... plus love for Glen Powell and admiration for Sebastian Stan.

Then, 2025's Burgentine's Day commences, as assignments are given from the the crew and a few friends...

Episode 644: My Favorite Summer... The Animation

What better way to close out an entire summer of top ten lists from across 8 different genres and 3 different movie roles than to look at the cartoons... the animated films! 

Mikey, d$, and #XLessDrEarl jump right in with a look at each of their favorite films of the hand drawn and computer created fare. As you'd expect, lots of Pixar and Disney, but a little Rankin and Bass tossed in, plus Everything is Awesome, a little Cornholio, some smart rats, and a dying robot... only if you believe... in miracles.

Episode 499: The One Before

Well, here we are, one week out from the biggest episode we've had since the last big episode we had. It's the Deucecast Movie Show and before we get to 500, we have to do 499.  And in the spirit of the One Before, Dave, Mikey, and #TwitterlessDrEarl are celebrating ones before... or more specifically, movies that have a story before the story that you've already seen...

Prequels.

No, not THOSE Prequels... well, not just those Prequels. These are the origin stories, the lead ups, the ones that show us how the big movies got their own stories to tell. How Bumblebee met an unassuming Hailee Steinfeld and how Professor X ended up in the wheelchair and how Silent Bob met Jay and why is Indy 2 set before Indy 1? These are the questions that get answered!

Plus, a new IMDb game, this one all about the Top Four... and paying off the summer, finally, the 2021 edition of DAVESPLOSION! 

Finally, all the news you need to know about the next episode, coming Friday, 8p Eastern, 5p Pacific... The Deucecast Movie Show Episode 500.
