It's the award season once again and the Sixth Annual Deucies nominations are out! Mikey, Dr Earl and Dave let their soothing voices infiltrate your earholes to tell you not only about the movies they've seen in the last month (Warren Beatty! Spike Lee! Barrett... Oliver?) AND to give you this year's batch of honorees vying for Best Picture, Best Actor, Best Song/Score, Best Drama... and even Worst Acting Performance (Oprah, this may be your year!)


Amongst other things, topics discussed include... More about the Mary Poppins Meryl Streep sequence... Dr Earl on RBG and Felicity Jones... Dave brings the conspiracy documentaries... Mikey hating on Queen... a bad movie from Amy Adams... Upgrade is a better Venom... random Netflix symphonies... Dental shade... Knight of Cups Casting... Dave explains The Boulder Problem... and much more.

The List of Movies Discussed....
Mary Poppins Returns... On the Basis of Sex... Root Cause... TAG... Knight of Cups... STINK!... Blockers... Free Solo... Velvet Buzzsaw... D.A.R.Y.L... Tully... Song to Song... The Devil We Know...

Hearts Beat Loud... Valentine's Day... BlacKKKlansman

Episode 365: Valentine's Opportunities

Another February is here, meaning another day of Valentine's love is in the wings!  And if Mikey, Dave, and #TwitterlessDrEarl aren't enough, Friend of the Show Jennifer "Juniper" Kaufman joins the show to add a softer voice and a girls touch to the topic itself.


First up, Birthday Movies to talk about what was released in February five, ten, fifteen, twenty years ago -- movies like The Lego Movie, Office Space, Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure, and even a fave of Friend of the Show Burgess, The Jonas Brothers 3D Concert Experience!

A quick round of the IMDb game -- can you name the actor and/or actress by the roles and movies?  Great match!

Friend of the Show, Miss Independent himself Burgess calls in from his 24th film festival in 2019 over in Mississippi, to give his results of this year's Burgentine's Day -- he reviews the movies assigned to him by the crew.

The topic in the episode is not just Valentine's movies, but those movies that are bad -- not just guilty pleasures, but Rom Com Chick Flicks that the crew feels like they may be the only ones to actually like. Movies with John Cusack... Brenden Fraser in a bomb shelter... Dave's novelization attempts... Beth Cooper makes an appearance... that Bonnie Raitt song movie... Kaufman's love of Jennifer Anniston.. Dr Earl's love of 90's Jennifer Connelly... Mikey's love of Michael J Fox...  Dave's love of large ensemble flicks... and so much more love in the episode!

Episode 364: The Best Best Picture Winners

Oscar nominations are out!  Mikey, Dave, and #TwitterlessDrEarl spend an hour full of Oscar talk... and the fun thing is that when the recording of this episode happens, nominations aren't out yet.


So the guys get to make bold predictions on Oscar noms that have already happened now.  Who swings and misses wildly?  Who calls an Animated nom?  And who was the genius who called the Bradley Cooper snub and only 7 nominations for Star is Born??

Dr Earl also pontificates on a recent viewing of M. Night's sophomore effort "Unbreakable" (of which the recent "Glass" is a sequel to), a re-watch after about 12 or 15 years.

Then the Denzel game makes a stirring comeback, with shout outs to Mila Kunis, James Franco, and Mikey's Boo K-Cost, and who could forget Chuckles the Ape...

The top five this go-round takes a look at all the Academy Award Best Picture winners, including a look at the Godfather, the life-ness of Talia Shire, and what is the Good Dinosaur of Mobster movies... a rundown of the other movies that didn't win in the same year of the movies selected... some hot Sidney Poitier talk... the importance of Titanic in Dave's life...

Episode 363: Movie Surprises of 2018

Another 2018 in review episode commences, all leading up to the Top Ten of 2018 (coming soon!), but this around, its the Movie Surprises of 2018.

Mikey, Dave, and Alison Brie Larsen Lover #TwitterlessDrEarl welcome in Mr Independent himself, Friend of the Show Jeremy Burgess to talk all about a little of everything.

Kicking in first with a review of Burgess' IMDb page and some random up and coming actors in the area, including the infamous Daniel Scheinert (who??), an untitled project that Burgess may or may not have let slip (what??) and a rousing round of Rotten Tomatoes Potpourri... one that lasts a long time because four people playing to five can sometimes take a while.

Then, the crew jumps into the topic at hand, the movies in 2018 that surprised everyone -- didn't think they'd enjoy but sat back and thought "Well whaddya know, that was pretty entertaining..."

Movies like Hotel Artemis... Aquaman... more Nic Cage... The Heartbreak Kid Mr. Wrestlemania The Showstopper HBK Shawn Michaels... and even some Venom Venom... Venom Venom Venom....  

Episode 362: Mega Hot Fyre ReFlicktions

The guys are back and Fyre'd up. Even though The Deucecast Movie Show had a ReFlicktions show a few weeks ago, they haven't been able to talk about the movies they've seen since before Christmas.  So here comes a mega heavy duty RF show, with Mikey, Dave, and Allison Brie Larsen Fan #Twitterless Dr Earl.

Some of the topics discussed along the way... could Anthony Hopkins be overrated?  The Curiosity of Eddie Redmayne... the canon of Aquaman... The Fyre Fest doc battle... the marketing of Netflix... the first Vanessa Hudgens watch... the acting of Ben Foster...

Movies discussed...
Surviving Christmas... Unseen (doc)... Class Action... Bumblebee... Transformers: The Last Knight... Jupiter Ascending... Pottersville... Aquaman... Roma... Sorry to Bother You... The Favourite... Love, Actually... Fyre Fraud (doc)... Fyre: The Greatest Party that Never Happened (doc)... The Mule... Vice... A Cinderella Story... Isle of Dogs... Shirkers (doc)... First Reformed... Bird Box... Mary Poppins Returns... Hereditary... From Here to Eternity... Welcome to Marwen... Marwencol (doc)... Leave No Trace... Robin & Marian... Term Life... Final Score... Unsane... Traffik... Juliet Naked... Two Hands... A Wrinkle in Time... Eighth Grade... Beautiful Boy... Thoroughbreds... Mary Queen of Scots... Glass

Episode 361: The Not 2018 Top Ten

January rolls on, and January is full of episodes reflecting upon 2018. Last week, Mikey, Dave, #TwitterlessDrEarl and Friend of the Show Jeremy Burgess recanted their least fave films of 2018, and this week, its the Not 2018 Top Ten. And to do so, it takes a mega-episode to recap.

Burgess gets a new theme song... film festival schedules... the movie goals and not-goals of the movie crew... Are You There God, It's Me Margaret...

Plus the top ten lists of favorite movies seen in 2018 that didn't actually come out in 2018... from 1937 all the way up to 2017.  Movies such as a doc about the LA Riots... a 70s noir classic with Martin Sheen as a bad guy... documentaries about bombshells and Munchhausen by proxy... war rabbits... ghosts... thieves... clowns... predators... bad wedding weekends and, of course, The Monster Squad.

And the films for the 2nd Annual Burgentine's Day are revealed at last.

Episode 360: Not for Me (2018's Lumps of Coal)

It's become an annual rite of passage... the films that the Deucecast likes to call "Lumps of Coal", those being the worst movies seen over the last 12 months.  Films like "Justice League" and "Colonia" and "Terminator Genysis" and even "Pootie Tang" (thanks Pinky!) have all worn the banner of shame.  Which films wear it this year?

Find out when Mikey and Dave bring in #TwitterlessDrEarl, and invite in Friend of the Show and Miss Independent himself Jeremy Burgess to talk about the... movies that just aren't for the guys.

First up, the birthday films, including the good (Taken, She's All That, Whiplash), the bad (Bride Wars, Boyhood, Paul Blart) and the ugly (Braddock: Mission in Action III) that came out in the month of January in year's past.

And then, a fun and light discussion on the films that just weren't as agreeable in 2018... with some Disney blunders... being WAR READY... traveling with Marky Mark... bad Wakowski Sibs... and of course, Nic Cage.

Enjoy the Lumps of Coal.

Episode 359: Holiday ReFlicktions

Merry Christmas (just passed) and Happy New Year and in between time, in the meantime, it's the rundown of the movies that Mikey, Dave and #Twitterless Dr Earl has seen in the last several weeks.

Among the discussions, the guys touch on the problem with YA movies... the flop of Mortal Engines... Natalie Portman in Annihilation... Hot Burgess Talk... Mikey's Shudder... Mikey's Star is Born... Dave's turning the corner on Vanessa Hudgens... and tapping into the Spider-Verse.

And the final Top Five of the Year is released, with a Top Ten of 2018 coming in a few months!

Movies reviewed:
Robin Hood... Annihilation... Kalifornia... First Reformed... The Ballad of Buster Scruggs... The Commuter... Minding the Gap... The Other Side of the World... The Front Runner... Summer of '84...

But joining Mikey, Dave, and #Twitterless Dr Earl, is Friend of the Show, back for his fourth Christmas Gifts episode, "No Just" Clay Shaver!

A little chit chat and catch up on movies and documentaries, and then the guys start handing out the merth and merry of Christmas gifts.

Amongst those opening Christmas gifts underneath the Deucecast Movie Show tree include Disney head honcho Bob Iger... busybody Tiffany Haddish... a Netflix Oscar of major proportions... Jennifer Garner getting more serious... Rian Johnson a real non-sci fi franchise... and much, much more.

Oh, and Clay has a new idea for the masses along the lines of his legendary 30 year reboot rule.

Episode 357: Frickin' Movie Delights

Sometimes you watch a movie and are riveted, sometimes you watch a movie and are sad, sometimes you watch a movie and it makes you scared... and then sometimes you are just satisfied because the movie is delightful. Its frickin' delightful. It's a Frickin Movie Delight.

Mikey, Dave and #TwitterlessDrEarl welcome in Friend of the Show "No Just" Clay Shaver, to a talk about that type of movie... but first, the inaugural "Jump to Conclusions" segment (stolen unabashedly from the ESPN Campus Conversation podcast)!

The guys discuss the future box office of Avengers Endgame... the future awards for A Star is Born... and how good will Aquaman actually be?

Then, the movie and movie things that just delighted everyone in studio, including musicals, boxing, interning, The Jokering, and even Zac Efron.

Plus, the controversy of "Last Christmas" continues...

Episode 356: Winter Movie Preview 2018

Thanksgiving is now over and the Holiday season is in full swing!  So Mikey, Dave, and #TwitterlessDrEarl run through the best of what's coming up with a winter movie preview.

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.
