Episode 579: Our Fave Movie Coaches

 

Sometimes the topics come to the guys easy, especially when they fit around the guest so perfectly -- hence, we finally discuss our Top Five Fave Movie Coaches, as we bring on a returning fave and now a head coach in his own right, Clay Shaver! 

Clay lets everyone know where he's been, and how he's now a high school basketball coach. 

Then, some birthday movies, letting the world know exactly how old movies like Scream 2, Cop & a Half, and Soylent Green are... and of course, Ladybugs. RIP Jonathan Brandis.

A rousing game of Denzel is up next, with a surprise winner in dominating fashion.

Then, the Top Five Movie Coaches -- naturally you'd think football, or just even any sport, but leave it to dear ol' Mikey to make it weird. Plus, great discussions on this generation's "Caddyshack"... Tom Hanks being a great drunk... Gene Hackman and Jack Nicholson are old... and what might be the best bowling movie not named The Big Lebowski... 

Plus Coach Shaver let's the audience know why "Lady" is not appreciated.

Episode 536: Deuce Got Game

It's the first episode of #FanBoySummer, featuring one of the show listeners not only joining the show, but picking the topic!

Today, Mikey, d$ (returning from his death bed), and #TwitterlessDrEarl welcome back Friend of the Show and Mr Independent himself, Jeremy Burgess. 

First up, a gangsta' game of Rotten Tomatoes, honoring one we lost too soon -- Ray Liotta, and his best (and not so best) films. Then, Burgess' topic pick, figuring how we've done football and baseball centric themes, and so this time, it's all round ball.... Top Five Best Basketball movies.

And it makes for an even better time when two of the four have only seen a marginal amount of hoops films, one has seen mostly documentaries, and the fourth being the only true basketball cinematic expert.

Episode 531: Actors Who Did the Footballs

Now that all the 2021 lists are over, and the ReFlicktions for last month have been ReFlickted, its time to finally move forward with new lists, new topics, and old movies to discuss!

In honor of this year's NFL Draft, which just happened and to which likely 2 of the 3 Deucecasters (Dave, Mikey, Dr Earl) have no idea who was #1 (Minka Kelly, maybe?), it's time to talk a little football acting.

First up, a little May the Fourth Be With You chitchat, then the return of The Rotten Tomatoes Game (and the first mention of Knute Rocke in 531 eps), then, this week's Top Five... Football Players (college and pro) who turned to acting. Some cameo roles (as in, why Brett Favre is in Miami) and Bernie Casey gets a nod and a few names Rock multiple lists and even Burt Reynolds shows up.

Plus... both Robert Urich and John Metuszak might be making their debut mentions. Maybe. Unclear.

Episode 497: The Tourney of American Treasures

The big 5-0-0 approaches, but there are still movie discussions to be had before then! On the 497th excursion into podcast mediocrity, Dave, Mikey, and #TwitterlessDrEarl chat a bit, then get to Birthday Movies -- Sully is 5 years old! Wicker Park is 15 years old! And somehow the math is off, and The Shawshank Redemption is... 27 years old?

Then, we find the next movie role to make the Big Bracket... and it's a intertwined battle of two American treasures, one being K Costner and the other being M Keaton.

From Birdman to Johnny Dangerously to Eliot Ness to Roy McAvoy, some of our favorite movies and movie characters do battle, plus a great conversation on the legacy of Keaton's Batman, and Peak Whitney.

Episode 482: Most Meaningful Movies

In the latest Deucecast Movie Show, Mikey & Dave give #TwitterlessDrEarl the night off to go handle some sort of neurosurgeony things, longtime friend of the show, author/singer/blogger/supermom/Carnagie Hall headliner Jenn Kaufman returns!!!

Some chit chat and catch up moments, including the latest films Kaufman has watched, then a Kaufman themed Rotten Tomatoes game, which leads into the Top Five of the show.

And the top five is Most Meaningful Films... those movies that might be amazing, might be terrible, or somewhere in between, but hold a special place in the hearts of the three on the show.  Mikey, d$, and Kaufman all share anecdotes about kids, lifelong fandom, recent films that really stuck with them and more. 

Plus an extended stinger because everyone on the show loves to hear themselves talk.

Episode 475: The 10th Anniversary Show

It's been ten long, crazy years and 1000s of movies, lots of video games, several third wheel co-hosts and 475 episodes, it's The Deucecast Movie Show's 10th Anniversary! Mikey, Dave, and #TwitterlessDrEarl ring in the next decade with an episode that looks at the best films of 2011!

First, Birthday Movies return, with the films released 5, 10, 15, 20 and more years ago in April of those years - Along Came a Spider, Primal Fear, Out for Justice and Bad News Bears is how old? 

Rotten Tomatoes themed game centered around the movies released in early April, around the time The Deucecast Episode I: The Podcast Menace was dropped onto the world.

And then, the Top Ten Fave Films of 2011, as ranked by your hosts.  From documentaries about tort reform to MMA movies to baseball sabremetrics to Marvel superheroes to how to get into the Dune canon.

Plus, stick around to the end for a little soundbyte of the beginning. 

And thanks to RetroZap for keeping us around for five years, and to all of our listeners for 10 years of listening!! 

Episode 379: Baseball Scenes

Batter up!!  The baseball season is in full swing, with the oil of the leather gloves, the seams of the baseball, the smell of the fresh cut grass, and the nonsensical nonsense of hosts Mikey and Dave for another exciting episode of The Deucecast!

To discuss baseball, however, they need to get in someone who has some credibility -- like baseball author, Royals enthusiast and new Friend of the Show Ethan Bryan!

The guys discuss baseball from the outset, including Ethan's love of baseball and baseball movies.

Then, the topic at hand is Top Five Baseball Scenes, and the guys celebrate films and key scenes from movies like Major League (Taylor bunts!) and Bull Durham (a place setting...) and even a Few Good Men (you're charging him with possession of a condiment?)

So get your popcorn and cracker jacks, and enjoy the show since we'll always come back.

Episode LXIV: The Deucecast Beyond Thunderdome

Finally... the Wookiee... has come back... to The Deuuuuuuuuuucecast...

Thats right!  For the first time since Christmas 2011, Chris the Wookiee joins us in studio to round up the latest movie news, the latest Star Wars rumors, and even more.

Larry Fishburne in the new Hannibal series (we aren't sure where Face, B.A. and Murdock are)...  Emma Stone's new role... Days of Future Past ... and Justin Beiber meets Star Wars.

Mikey's Music Minute featuring Emile Sande ... well, it sucks.  Let's just face it.  But what doesn't suck is the great Buried Treasure we present to you... and we kick off a great round of Simple Star Wars Trivia, and Mikey finally ends up with some success!  Go Mikey!!

Our Big Three takes on favorite athletes in movie roles, and we talk about such icons as Howie Long ... The Boz ... The Shaq ... The Hulk Hogan ... The Harry Doyle ... and so much more! 

And we can't get away from a little controversy, as we discuss the ribbons on Aurora, Colorado and the Batman incident. 

And, of course... William Devane .

would it be to get him on the show? Seriously?

Other topics include Ahnold's latest movie, more GI Joe news, the hope of Evil Dead 4, our first installment of "Carnie Wilson Watch" and more Grey's Anatomy!

The guys have fun with Jon Bon Iver, who is featured on Mike's Music Minute, while Matt talks about last year's summer movies versus this year's summer movies on The 'Bord, and d$ pulls out a great Val Kilmer Buried Treasure.
