Episode 582: Ranking the MCU Last 10

It's the end of an era in the MCU, as Guardians of the Galaxy Volume 3 has just hit theaters - and it's the last hurrah of the Marvel Cinematic Universe group of characters that link audiences to the Infinity Saga... sure, some heroes will carry over, but it does feel like we are saying good-bye to the MCU as we know it.

But what kind of ending is it, and how does it stack up against the rest of the MCU films released since Avengers: Endgame?

That's what the Deucecast crew aims to find out -- with Mikey, Dave, and #TwitterlessDrEarl on the show, and Young Spawn of Ryfun, the Pride of Albany, GA, Lil G, but now he's a Big G, fresh off of his prom and headed to Senior Portraits, Garrison Ryfun joins the show to discuss and rank in their own top tens those very films.

Starting with Spider-Man Far From Home, then to Black Widow, where the show picks up another guest, one Steve Glosson, who comes in to present his own list.

Then the Shang-Chi, Eternals, Spider-Man No Way Home, then Doctor Strange & the Multiverse of Madness, with Thor Love & Thunder, Black Panther Wakanda Forever, then Ant-Man and the Wasp Quantumania, and ending with Guardians 3, it's a long discussion, but a worthwhile one.

Plus, everyone but Steve (who questions as to whether he's seen it or not) also give their own quick review on Guardians 3 (SPOILER FREE, by the way).

And stick around for the ending, which goes off the rails as usual, from who gets invited to the show, Mikey's dismissal of Scotty Ryfun's concerns, Punisher movies, TMNT movies, Cannonball Run Criterion Collections and so much more. And of course, Casey's Biggest Hits.

Episode 433: The DC Cinematic Top Five

It's a Deucecast Justice League of sorts, as Mikey, Dave, and #TwitterlessDrEarl meet to discuss DC Comics made into films.  Being mostly Marvel guys, it was time to look across the aisle to the other company and the other films.

And to do that, they needed to bring an expert, the co-host of the DC Talk Podcast... and the Caped Chronicles Podcast... and the Mikes Movie Minute Podcast... AND the Previously on Lost Podcast... Mike Ellis, aka, the newly christened DC Mike joins the show to talk all things DC.

A great discussion about the good and bad of Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice... Jesse Eisenberg's portrayal of Lex... the overall status of the DC Cinematic Universe... and much more.

The guys play a ridiculous new game called "Name By Name", asking them to name any actor in a DC movie. Any actor. In any DC movie. And as you'd expect, it goes completely off the rails. You'd want nothing less.

Then the guys give their Top Five Fave DC Films... a great chat about Dark Knight... the love of BvS... Dave's obsession with the The Losers... the vision that is Gal Godat... Defending the Martha scene... Supes new powers... Katie vs Maggie... the DC Animated movie series

Find Mike on his podcasts:

Episode 376: Franchises & Endgames

Last week, they were a crew of moviegoers who had not seen Avengers Endgame. This week, having seen it multiple times each, they see with a new set of eyes. Think with a new set of thoughts. See with... you get the the picture.

Either way, Mikey, Dave, and #TwitterlessDrEarl are here to dish on what ends up being the biggest film of the weekend, and possibly the biggest film of all time.  Avengers Endgame.  The guys are joined by Friend of the Show Jared McG, and they do a quick dive into the new Star Wars Trailer first.

Then, a spoiler free review of Avengers Endgame (with instructions about the bonus content after Kenny wraps ups his ending tune.)

Then, the guys give their Top Five Movie Franchises of all time... any films series that is 4 or more, and contained within the same universe.  Characters like Wolverine, and Indy, and Kermit, and Dom, and Ethan, and of course, Bond... James Bond.

Then, after the show, stick around as the team spoils the heck out of Endgame, as they take a deep dive into the movie, some of the Easter Eggs, what they liked, loved and felt lacking about the film -- you are given plenty of warning on the spoilers, though.

Enjoy this lively discussion of where Marvel movies have been, where they are now and where they are going!

Episode LXXIII: The Pod & The Furious: Maylene Drift

Listen to our new episode and hear Hurricane Rhett yell about people. 

No, seriously.

We kick off our new show with another segment from our sponsors, then a tasting of our latest beverage, the atrocity known as Celsius. It is loaded with interestingness. 

Mikey tells us all about his adventure at Bark at the Park, and how easy it might be for all you single dudes to get yourself a woman.  And his disappointment with Star Wars Reads Day. And we talk about Liam Neeson.  And Taken 2.  And Facebook.  And Armie Hammer in "The Lone Ranger".  And Armie Hammer as Batman in "The Justice League Movie".  And a new Mary Jane?

John Candy movies... a Matthew Broderick movie... Terrence Malick movies... and breaking up with Ashley Judd with "Bug ".  Terrible. 

And... Demi Lovato coins a new phrase!

Episode LVII: Indiana Dave and the Podcast of the Crystal Skull

Sometimes, when Mike and d$ have Hurricane Rhett in the studio, Mike and d$ sit back and ask themselves "What could be better than having one Barnett on the show?"  That question was answered for us on The Deucecast Episode LVII:  Indiana Dave and the Podcast of the Crystal Skull... the answer to that age-old query of "What is better than one Barnett" is quite simply... "Two Barnetts".

That's right, Hurricane Rhett and his boo Amarylis join us in studio to crack wise, get funny with the ha ha and add to what is already an exceptional hour and change in podcast excellence. 

Its the 1980s Borat!  What a country!!!

The group kicks off the show with discussions on losing power... taking the kids to Atlanta... the new Earth Fare healthy supermarket... the alternatives to Scotty's space burial... visiting Branson, Missouri... and the crime of missing Yakov Smirnoff...

Other topics discuss more Star Wars... a Twitter slap from Charlie to Jack... a viewing of Tower Heist... the box office prowess of The Avengers... and the return of one of Mikey's favorite kiddy cartoons.

Mikey brings the crappy music once again with more Alabama Shakes... and d$ continues his Buried Treasure series with Part II of the Forgotten American Treasures with a huge group from the 80s that is largely missing from America's current culture. 

Rhett's Rants blows through the studio like a Hurricane, and once again, no one is disappointed... topics this time include gated communities... cute animals on Facebook... grown men and their ponytails... inspirational captions on Facebook... and pretty much any stay-at-home mom with too much time on their hands when it comes to Facebook postings all day long. 

The Big Three jumps in on more misery with the worst acting performances we've ever seen, including stellar bad turns from the likes of Kevin Costner... Tom Hanks... Vince Vaughn... and even the likes of legends like Gary Oldman and Morgan Freeman... oh, and somebody doing a horrible Michael Jackson impersonation.  Too soon?

Don't forget to join us next week when Steph Rector makes her return appearance, with our Big Three being Favorite Happy Songs.  Plus, another edition of Forgotten American Treasures from d$, more crap from Mikey... and more fun in The Deucecast Episode LVIII: The Podcast Identity
