Episode 649: CHEERIO!!! Our List of British Cinema

PIP PIP to all our little cheeky monkey fans!  Bloody good time on this episode! 

The Deucecast pays a nod to Jolly Ol' England with a list of their favorite Brit films - whether directed by a Brit, movies that take place in a British locale, or perhaps just a British story, Mike, d$, and #XLessDrEarl invite in Friend of the Show and Anglophile himself -- not just Mikey's Uncle, but the show's uncle... Unca Brian make his valiant return.

Along the way, a round of Doug Benson's ABCDeez, then a nod to both Kris Kristofferson and Dame Maggie Smith, two very different legends of the screen and stage, and their passing.

Then, a list of narratives, both classic and new, animated and documentary style and more -- the British films are coming!!

Episode 604: The November 80s

The holiday season is here, and we are one week out from our annual DeuceGiving episode, which kicks off two months of annual eps - from Christmas gifts to Kaufman's yearly seasonal offerings to Top Tens of Not the Year to Lumps of Coal and much more.

But that's later.

Two years ago, we talked best November movies of the 2000s (episode 505). Last year, we took it back a decade and did the best of the 90s (episode 558), and this time around, the 1980s take center stage, as Mikey, d$, and special guest, "The Rocket Man" Uncle Brian, gives their fave films released in any year of the 80s, but only within the month of November.

First up, Uncle Brian reveals one of his hobbies -- the first time in 604 eps that Blinko has ever been discussed. Then, a miserable, total failure round of Box Office Mojo -- no seriously, the performance is awful and must be acknowledged as such.

Then, the Top Five 80s November films -- a little Trek... some Bugs... Charlie Sheen and a weird car... Chuck Norris rescues POWs... M'Lynn is wearing a brown football helmet... ending the Cold War... and a somewhat real discussion on the career and films of one Deucecast legend, Jim Varney, aka, "Ernest".

DCMS Episode 600: The Big Bracket

Finally, after all the hubbub and chatter and stops and starts, Mikey, d$ and #XLessDr Earl have made it to the culmination of topics of 28 previous episodes... The Big Bracket. 

From Episode 291 to Episode 599, 36 movie roles were chosen and now will face off one on one... a majority vote rules, as the crew goes through the match ups one at at time.

But what fun is a Movie Role Bracket if there aren't more Friends of the Show joining up?  And Friends of the Show join up... producing the show is Roth from Wyoming and stepping in is Lil G "Pride of Albany" Ryfun... then along the way comes (in order of appearance...) Lil Andy... Aussie Nate... Hurricane Rhett... "Amish" Jenn Novotny... Jenny Kaufman... Matty Mink... Uncle Brian... Coach DiBello... and of course, The Icon, Scotty "Ryfulicious" Ryfun... 

It's absolutely the longest episode we've ever done, as we agreed early on there would be no Big Bracket in 601 -- the group powers through the entire show. New theme songs, familiar favorites, jokes fly, Garrison drives, Mikey has a delay, Earl changes his mind, d$ keeps it all moving. 

Enjoy the show.

Episode 589: Conceptual Sci-Fi

Once again, #FanboySummer moves by quickly, as this week, another

loser winner contributor joins the show, this time for best "Conceptual Sci-Fi".  What does that even mean?  We have no idea, but who cares... as per usual, we go with it and have a fantastic time doing so.

Joining the show is the Rocket Man himself, Uncle Brian E, as he, Mikey, d$, and #TwitterlessDrEarl play a little round of ABCDeez, borrowing from fellow podcaster Doug Benson, as we use letters from a movie phrase to call out movie titles, figure out the theme and try to match up.

Then, a series of categories, from "robots" to "time travel" to "realistic" and more, calling out movies in many of those categories, plus all the discussion that go with it.

And Mikey met up with Glosson to see Petra. Not Pantera.

Films discussed tonight:

Films for rental only: Alien Nation... Another Earth... Blade Runner... Close Encounters of the Third Kind... Contact... HER... Logan's Run... The Martian... Moon... Predestination... Primer... Serenity... Tenet... THX 1138...
