Episode 564: The 2022 Lumps of Coal

Like the Masters, its a tradition unlike any other... the Annual Lumps of Coal episode.

Out of the dozens of films The Deucecast Movie Show loved, out of the hundreds of movies the Deucecast Movie Show liked... there are a handful of movies -- or in #TwitterlessDrEarl's case, tropes, patterns, directors and the like -- that just didn't land... or maybe landed with a crash and burn in a bad way.

Hopping straight to it, the guys rail on how hard it is to muck up a great cast and make a terrible movie (yet Hollywood finds a way)... when the crimes of the future becomes a crime in making a film in the present... when Jessica Chastain tries 355, but delivers a Zero... when Benaffleck Ana de Armes' his marriage... the Jim Cameron movie that won't end... and Zac Efron flames out big time.

Plus, this year's winner of "The Movie that Broke Mikey".

• Avatar Way of Water (in theaters)
• Blacklight (Amazon Prime; Paramount+; EPIX)

Episode 411: 2019's Lumps of Coal

Welcome to 2020! Hope your New Years is awesome and Dave, Mikey, and #TwitterlessDrEarl wishes you and yours the best for the upcoming year!

And to kick off the year, the Deucecast Crew wants to start looking back at some 2019 movies by getting the bad out of the way -- the Lumps of Coal of the year.  The handful of movies that aren't good bad, or bad good, but are just bad... or even bad bad.

Turkeys like Men in Black International... crap like Hellboy... junk like Surfer, Dude... and the dumpster fire that is the cursed La Larona... it doesn't get much worse.

Enjoy the worst of the worst!

Episode 389: The Best of the Worst (1990s)

In the second part of the new Best of the Worst series, Mikey, Dave and #TwitterlessDrEarl look way back to five years ago... or 25, as it were... to find the dreck of the years 1990 to 1999.

And of course, it's the dreck that the guys absolutely love.

First up, the IMDb game, guessing the movies based on the IMDb acting roster, naming the actors one by one until someone shouts the answer.

Then, the favorite of the awful, the beloved of the beguiled, the truly best of the worst... Nic Cage mediocrity... Tom Hanks trash... Costner crap... Swayze swine... Keanu hullabaloo... and Heather Locklear.

Enjoy this walk down Meh Movie Lane, and let the guys know your favorites!

Episode 377: The Best of the Worst (2010s)

In an episode that can best describe the podcast here, Best of the Worst definitely can include Mikey, Dave and #TwitterlessDrEarl... and what better way to discuss below average and mediocrity that our good friend from way cross Georgia, in a little town called Vinings (or wherever), The Spawn of Ryfun, aka, Garrison gets on the hotline.

New theme song in tow, he's in to youth up the place, in the absence of the forlorn Pinky, still stuck in a Chinese gulag (though it might be Thai, there is no evidence)

After playing a round of the Percentages, including finding out the highest -- and lowest -- Rotten Tomatoes scores from a bevy of actors, including Samuel L Jackson... Bradley Cooper... and even Brie Larson.

Then, its onto the countdown, where the guys rank their favorite low score Rotten Tomatoes films. Dandy movies starring the aforementioned Sam Jackson... and Kevin James... The Rock... BatFleck... and much more!

So sit back and enjoy the show, riffing on how much they love some truly awful films from 2010 until present day!

Episode 350: Halloween 2018

It's a monumental night for the 350th Episode of The Deucecast Movie Show (onward to 400!) as Mikey, Dave & #TwitterlessDrEarl talk up scary stuff in the annual Halloween episode!

And of course, what better way to usher in the spooky than to invite on Friend of the Show Scaremy "Octo"Burgess to discuss favorite movie haunts.

First up, birthday movies... how old is "Gravity"?  Or "Halloween III: Season of the Witch"?  Or even "The Wiz"??

Next, a round of America's favorite movie title game that sometimes premieres on The Deucecast, the one and only "Reel or Unreal", where players have to guess the real movie from a list of mostly fake titles.  Wait, is "Pumpkin Slice Latte" a real movie?  Seriously?

Then, the crew talks about their top five favorite movie haunted locations -- not just houses... but woods... spaceships... motels... cabins... next door neighbors... hospitals... towns, states, large bodies of water!

Finally, the results of MikeTober '18, where Mikey gives his reviews on the assigned Halloween movies like "Magic" and "The Fog" and "Let the Right One In" and whatever crap #TwitterlessDrEarl assigned.

Episode 327: Sci Fi Fantasy Films of This Century

It's a couple of guys who keep their heads in the clouds and gaze at the stars, so it's only fitting that Dave and Mikey discuss Fantasy and Science Fiction films. But since #Twitterless Dr Earl can't be found (he's doing a lint removal procedure from the naval of poor kids in Long Island), who better to invite onto the show than the TechnoRetro Dads  themselves, Shazbazzar and Jedi Shuuuuuuuuaaaaahhhhhh....

And the gang jumps right in, counting off their lists of what they consider to be their favorite fantasy/sci-fi films of this century... that's really anything released on January 1st, 2000, until... well, you know, today. Or the day of the recording, anyway.

The TRD's also give their take on "Ready Player One" before diving into the Top Ten, then the guys discuss at length -- and at depth -- the legacy and their adoration of films like "Children of Men" and the newest "Star Trek" and newer "Star Wars" films and Shaz defends "John Carter" while Dave defends "Lady in the Water".

Its a great two hours of sci fi fantasy fun and movie love!

Episode 309: 2017's Lumps of Coal

As the year ends, Mikey and Dave reflect upon the movies that weren't all that great, weren't all that good and perhaps are just downright terrible. And to do so, why not invite in Friend of the Show, Wit Stillman Fan, Lover of Brie (Allison, Larsen & the cheese), Terrance Malick Apologist, Film Historian and Nobel Prize of Medicine Nominee for his work in Toenail recycling, The Estimable Dr. Earl.

The guys hit the best of the worst, the worst of the best and all parts in-between, with disappointments starring Goldberg, Robert DeNiro, Kevin Costner, chainsaws, Stephen King books, superheroes and so much more.

Hope you are having a wonderful Christmas week and thanks for downloading!

Episode 296: Goodbye Pinky (maybe) ReFlicktions

The guys are back and more movie-er than ever, as Pinky, Mikey & Dave come in to discuss all the movies seen since the last time they discussed movies they'd seen.  But they don't like doing it alone, as they invite in Friend of the Show, resident Wit Stillman fan, Brie Lover (Alison, Larsen & the cheese), Terence Malick apologist, film historian and world renowned pituitary gland surgeon Dr. Earl, and then Friend of the Show

Birthday movies kick off the show, including celebrating (!) the 5, 10, 15, 20 and more year anniversaries of gems like Swimf@n, Captain Ron, Ballistic: Ecks vs Sever and Amityville II: The Possession.

Discussions including Jake LaMotta... The Rocky series, especially the original... the worst movie Dave has ever assigned Mikey... R-Pat & K-Stew... the definitive werewolf performances... Burgess hates Aaron Taylor-Johnson... whoever the crap Tom Ford is... some of the origins of IT... the look of the re-issue of Close Encounters... Dave's favorite movie of the year... and lots of Colors.

Which movie year is your favorite??

Episode 258: 2016's Lumps of Coal

Throughout the year, there are good movies, there are bad movies, and there are movies that Dave, Mikey and Pinky watch that are just terrible.  So as the last of the Christmas themed episodes, the trio give their worst films of the year they've seen.

A great round of The Denzel Game kicks off the episode, as they try to come up with who starred in "Slow West"... Pinky mentions the words "Midnight Meat Train"... Who is Marion Cotillard?... and what exactly is that "Female baseball movie" called??

And then... the worst films of 2016. The films that just hurt the eyes that watched them and melded the brains that absorbed them.  Movies like "Transporter: ReFueled" or "Goya's Ghost" or the Village People bio pic, "Can't Stop the Music".

Turkeys that starred the normally beloved Nat Portman or Bill Murray or Marisa Tomei or Larry the Cable Guy...

And how can you not love a movie with Bugs Bunny AND Michael Jordan?  Dave tells you how.

What animated movie almost makes Mikey angry?   And finally... Pootie Tang.

Episode 205: The 2015 Lumps of Coal

It's a short show this week, so we hope you had a Merry Christmas and hope you do have a Happy, Happy New Year!  First, we say goodbye to Shotglass Digital Network... thanks Jimmy & the Shotglass family.  You guys have been amazing to our show and we cannot show enough appreciation for that!

This week, we go over the absolute dreck from the last year, discussing the five worst films we've seen in 2015.  Not all of them are from the last 12 months, but these are the worst films we've seen in those 12 months.

And we are talking baaaaaad films.  Not craptastic films.  Not films that are so bad they are good.  No.  Bad movies.  Horrible movies.  Movies that feature Jordana Brewster at the top.  Movies that say "Starring Kate Heigl".  Movies that feature the words "Cat" and "Woman" together.

Hear about what might be the biggest waste of a good cast to make a bad movie... hear Pinky get angry about a movie... hear d$ rail against The Fantastic Four (again)... hear Mikey talk about the movie that might be one of the worst films he's ever seen, this year or not.

That's all on the 2015 Lumps of Coal Episode!!
