Episode 688: The Top Ten of 2001

It was a year of Hobbits on screen, a year of Playa to Playa Pimp to Pimp, a year of animated monsters,a year of Mogadishu on screen, a year of math on the window and a year of Seann William Scott getting work - the year was 2001.

So goes the latest in our summer series of Top Tens, with our guest, the Food For Thoughtcast host and Friend of the Show Melissa the Chef!

Mikey, d$, and #XLessDrEarl invite in Melissa to talk about movies 24 years ago - the Best Picture winner, the Fannings first movies (Elle yes!) and the hot topics of the year. Plus, a countdown of all of our faves - everything from Wes Anderson to lamenting the non-work of Orlando Jones to why Mikey hates Lord of the Rings.

Its the year of Peak Will Ferrell... love for Tom Hanks in an airport... voting for Pedro... Olympic hockey... White Goodman... Tom Cruise being bad... stealing the Declaration of Independence... Super Pixar... and much more, as the guys welcome in Roth from Wyoming to count down their faves from the Year of Our Lord 2004

Episode 682: The 2025 Summer Movie Preview

 It's a quadra-annual tradition, as the Deucecast Movie Show compiles a list of movies that YOU need to see that will be dropping, releasing, and streaming in the next three months.

This week, #XLessDrEarl is returning from his attending Friend of the Show Roth from Wyoming's wedding to the wonderful Lady Roth from Wyoming, so Mike and d$ read the notes to show you what to expect.

First up, a quick review of MI: FiReck that hit theaters this weekend -- where it falls on the overall Mission Impossible rankings, and what they loved about it (full review featured in June's ReFlicktions)... then, the summer preview, with new John Wick... new Wes Andy... Predator won't die... the Smurfs won't go away... and someone thinks that someone cares about Dora... plus, Live Action Dragons, Pixar's film that no one is talking about... Brad Pitt drives fast... M3GAN is the hero now?... more live action dragons... Netflix sequels no one cares about... Superman and Fantastic Four get their day in the spotlight... Liam Neeson goes slapstick... Idris Elba and Sydney Sweeney doing work... some director named Ron Howard finally gets a follow up to his hit Cocoon... Spike and Denzel back together again... and Peter Dinklege goes Toxie...

Episode 671: 21st Century March Movies

First, d$, Mikey, and #XLessDrEarl opens up the show with a quick look at "Mickey 17", the latest from Garrison Ryfun's director boo, Bong Joon-ho, and the good... and the bad... and the bad... and maybe some of the good. 

Then, checking out the March classics - from PG&E fightin' lawyers to ninja gang wars to The Rock's gay bodyguard - to the new soon-to-be classics like sand worms to Wes Anderson's animated pooches to John Goodman's creepy cellar dwelling.

Episode 593: The Barbenheimer Dead Reckoning Asteroid Hustler... of destiny

Super long episode title befits a super long episode, and Mikey, d$, and #TwitterlessDrEarl have an awful lot to go over... it's July 2023 ReFlicktions and the meat of the summer blockbusters fall into this episode.

First up, Dave kicks it off with the first of two Katie Heigl movies as he begins to finish a quest that no one should really ever want to do.  #TwitterlessDrEarl does hit the Pretentious Corner once or twice, as Mikey dives into the Cannon Films schlock of bad Chuck Norris and the classic film of good Jack Lemmon. 

Both old movies and new are celebrated, and of course, the biggest of the summer - Asteroid City, Indy 5, Oppenheimer, Barbie, and MI Dead Recks P-1 all are covered here, as well as the guys' new Top 5.

Episode 529: The 2022 Deucies and Top 10 of 2021

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!

Episode 437: The Top 10 of the 2010s

It's another episode of The Deucecast Movie Show, this time, a very special episode. But unlike the "very special episodes" of the 80s where kids are put into uncomfortable situations, Mikey, Dave, and #TwitterlessDrEarl pay off a promise from earlier in the year.

Back in February, episodes 418 and 419, Burgess joined the team to do two "Decade By Genre" shows, giving the top three of multiple categories, with intentions of doing a full Top Ten of the 2010s. Then, as you may have guessed, the world went crazy then shut down, and as the guys went to the four corners of the wind to do the show, the topic got shelved.

Finally, however, The Top 10 of the 2010s is here!

First up, the return of Birthday Movies, with everything from Minions to Crimson Tide to Animalypics to Psycho all celebrating release anniversaries, then a quick round of the Rotten Tomatoes Game, dedicated to the recently passed and prolific director Joel Schumacher.

And then, the list that took ten years to make -- any movie released at 12:01am on Jan 1, 2010 to 11:59pm on Dec 31, 2019 -- and the lists are all over the place -- comic book movies, action movies, missionary dramas, Nolan, Scorcese, Garland, Fincher, and much more. Great conversation about films that are talked about and beloved from the last ten years.

Here's where to find movies discussed, at current time of recording:

• American Hustle (FX Now)

Episode 418: The Decade by Genre Pt 1

The first decade of The Deucecast Movie Show has ended -- as the show counts the commonlaw definition between 2010 and 2019 -- and the crew is ready to discuss the best films of the last ten years.

With an upcoming special featuring the Top Ten of the 2010s, it's important to discuss many of the other films that were loved and beloved by Mikey, Dave, #TwitterlessDrEarl, and Friend of the Show Burgess.

In this first of two parts, the show features six of twelve genres - drama, animated, family, comic book films, indie movies, and horror/thriller films -- and each of the team gives their top three, genre by genre.

You'll get a look at what makes Captain America Civil War so great... the joy of Paddington...  lots of Wes Anderson and Terrence Malick love... Burgess hates families... why The Social Network might be a perfect film... THEY KNEW from Spotlight... the horror of Black Swan... Dave's pick for the possible best script of the 2010s... and much, much more.
