Episode 603: All Hail the Burgessing

It's an annual tradition around this time, not only to celebrate Halloween with a little spooky movie talk, but also to give the fans what they want - the results of the 9th annual MikeTober Event.  It's not as big as the Lilith Fair, but bigger than Toyotathon ever hoped to be -- its Mikey watching five scary movies and ranking them from least to best. 

But first, Mikey, d$, and #XlessDrEarl welcome in Friend of the Show, Miss Independent himself, Jeremy Burgess, as Burgess catches everyone up on the latest with his film "Don't Die" as well as giving a few film recommendations that you may have not heard of.

A little entertainment tonight, October B'day movies rolls in, including "Venom", "Never Say Never Again", "Kill Bill Vol 1" and even "Lassie Come Home", all celebrating birthdays in October. 

Finally, the Stephen King Countdown. All the guys give their top five fave King adaptations, some horror, some sci-fi, some just great films... and some not so great.  We hope you get your own list of films to see!

And then MikeTober pays off, as he gives his take on "The Descent" (d$'s pick)... "The Wailing" (Garrison)... "Cat People" (Burgess)... "The Wicker Man" (Dr. Earl)... "His House" (Roth from Wyoming)... and of course, Aussie Nate's huge addition, "Little Monsters". 

Episode 580: RENFlicktions Caged

Spring has Sprung, and the summer movie season is ever so close... but first, Mikey, Dave, and #TwitterlessDrEarl must get through the April movie slate!

Welcome to the April 2023 ReFlicktions... or should we say RENFlicktions... CAGED.  

A little Scott Adkins action... the wealth of Chris Pratt... the violence of John Wick 4... the unfunny of Kevin Hart... which Patrick Bergin are you thinking of?... classic Robert Mitchum... bad Keira Knightly... Judy Blume books... Chris Pine's range... d$'s Atlanta Bombing story... Nic Cage is insane... 

Plus... The Stop Motion Animation Story of Christ.  We said what we said.

Episode 397: Books, Movies, and KB Hoyle

Sometimes the Deucecast guys -- Mikey and Dave -- like to try to class the place up by bringing in orthopedic surgeon and Nobel Prize for Medicine Nominee #TwitterlessDr Earl... and when that doesn't work, they bring in someone actually important.

First up, the birthday movies for September! Wicker Park (the beeeeessss!!) and Shawshank (Get busy livin or get busy podcastin') and Gone Girl and even a Bugs Bunny movie, and then, first time guest KB Hoyle joins the show.

K.B. Hoyle, award winning author of "The Gateway Chronicles" book series as well as the Breeder Cycle, answers questions about the publishing industry, movie favorites and reveals her fangirl status over Lord of the Rings and the like.

The crew reveals their top five movie adaptations of favorite books, including novels by Stephen King and John Grisham, classics about Mockingbirds and Cupboards, Hitchhikers Guides, lots of Jane Austen (and who is the best Mr Darcy), and much more.  Plus a great discussion on what is right and wrong about Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter books and movies.

Episode 338: RomComs of the Century (with Teresa Delgado)

The Deucecast Movie Show continues to look at the best movies of the 21st Century, this time turning attention to their Favorite Romantic Comedies of the Century.  But can Mikey, Dave, and #TwitterlessDrEarl truly give perspective on such RomCom masterpieces like "Legally Blonde" or "Hitch"? Probably not. 

So joining the guys on the Binder & Binder Law Firm hotline is the Fangirl who turned her Fangirling into a Podcast Empire, the supergeeky, supercool, and superbusy co-host of Disney Vault Talk, Galactic Fashion, Star Wars Bookworms and Fangirls Going Rogue and more... Friend of the Show Teresa Delgado!

First up, a look at all the things Teresa is doing, including her podcasts and projects, opinions on the latest Star Wars news, what's next for Disney Vault Talk, and some other great discussion. Plus, her recommendations on the best Star Wars books

Then, diving into the cinematic romance, the crew lists their favorite RomComs released from Jan 1, 2000 to.. well, yesterday. 

Dave gives his defense of pre-crazy Amanda Bynes, the Greek comedy "My Life in Ruins", and more love for Amy Adams. #TwitterlessDrEarl discusses movies that may or may not be a RomCom, like "The Lobster" or "Wall*E", and being "Knocked Up".  Mikey spills on his favorite tennis romance, Jack Black's Kathleen Turner Overdrive, and being "Down with Love". And Teresa is all about "What a Girl Wants" and the chemistry between Tom Hanks & Julia Roberts. 

Episode XLVI: To Podcast A Mockingbird

The Return of The Drewscast!   Its The Deucecast Episode XLVI: To Podcast a Mockingbird, and we do it right, right from the beginning with a taste of Dr. Brown's Root Beer and Dr. Brown's Black Cherry Soda. Enough with the poopy-tasting beverages, we finally do it right!

Drew and d$ discuss their weeks at length, as does Mikey, who reveals his great fortune in winning concert tickets, including the Jack White concert recently... and the guys discuss the old shows, like the Newsboys they went to see years and years ago.  We also dig in to American Idol's controversy... Star Wars woes... upcoming films... seen films this week... Lesley Mann... the promise of "Machete Kills" and "Sin City 2"... and even more.

Mikey's music brings out some Snow Patrol, and d$'s retort includes Dishwalla and some Factor 7.  Drew opens up a great Smorg, touching on the previous topic of "What Makes Us Love Movies" by discussing some of the great (and not so great) acting performances out there, including Daniel Day-Lewis' career, Annette Bening in "The American President", Johnny Depp in the Pirate films and even more. 

Our Big Three dives into some childhood memories, that being Books We Loved As Children, including classics like "The Indian & the Cupboard"... Dr. Seuss' books... Brer Rabbit stories... and... Bunnicula (!?)

And finally... our first segment of Lawyer Up with Latta, as Brad J. Latta joins us to discuss some new, controversial legistlation that our president has signed... and remarkably, it doesn't turn into a shouting match between right (d$) and wrong left (Brad).

Join us next week as The Good Rev'rn Dr. Earl joins us for The Deucecast Episode XLVII: Podcast of Arabia
