Episode XXIV: Tommy McLeod & the Podcast of the Phoenix

Another episode, another night of fun, frivolity, movies, music, Mer-Der and Seagal!

We dive Deuce-first into the 24th episode of our show, with Mikey displaying his love of Sarah Michelle Geller, his dis-love for no air conditioning and his wonder at his baby's fighting skills. Matt takes over and discusses the cat's electronic accidents, a "Thor" second viewing and "Running Wilde". And d$ steps in and gives his thoughts on the Opp, AL, Best Western hotel and his weekend with family.

Mikey presents the Potluck Sportasbord, with Cowboy coverage, d$ throws out a beloved classic as Buried Treasure (92% yo!) and Matt's Music covering the music of "Sons of Anarchy".

The Big Three was a great discussion on 9/11 Patriotism, mostly centered around movies where an American Hero--John Rambo, Indiana Jones, President Mitchell--kicks the butt of a some stupid foreigner.  Where else would you hear d$'s two bad Russian impressions in a row? "Pay de mahn eez mahney..." and "you are so beddy beddy good and we are so beddy beddy bad..." in the show.

Other discussions take on the upcoming Star Wars Blu-Ray release... Steven Spielberg's gun issues in "E.T.: The Extra-Terrestrial"... The delight of the Star Wars Christmas Special... Chuck Norris joining "The Expendables 2" cast... Grey's Anatomy watch and a lengthy discussion that follows... thoughts on "Zookeeper" and "Winnie the Pooh"...

 

And of course... Seagal Watch... PLUS a bonus Nic Cage story at the last minute!

Episode XXIII: Shawny Sharp & the Podcast of Fire

Welcome back to The Deucecast... Episode XXIII: Shawny Sharp & the Podcast of Fire! It was a crazy week for Matty, Mikey and d$ as we kick off the show talking about that very thing... well, after our Minnie Driver discussion. Anyway, Mikey deals with child care, goes face first into The Beard Off 2011, and tells of his involvement in about 284 football related leagues. Matty goes off on everything from steak dinners to "Salt" to Kirk vs Picard to new games. And d$ opens up a little on the death of his mom and the family dynamic he's grown up with.

The Music Minute pays a special tribute to the favorite music of d$'s mom... Matt expresses his annoyance with bad video game habits... and Mikey pulls out a Buckingham Nicks classic on The Buried Treasure.

The Big Three reviews the hosts favorite movies of the summer, movies like "Super 8" and "Captain America: The First Avenger" and "The Help"... and why "Harry Potter & the Deathly Hallows Part 2" has lost some luster for one of our hosts. More movie talk leads to a Netflix vs. Starz conversation... Mikey's ability to love Ryan Gosling and his foreign film festival... and why do you go see movies? For the stars or for the premise?

And we also hit on more Star Wars news, both books and deleted scenes, and the dangers of diving into the Expanded Universe... awesome stars in The Expendables 2... d$ watches "Pirahna" just for the halibut... Eddie Murphy taking on The Oscars... Celine Dion's house troubles...

And of course... Seagal Watch.

Mikey's new favorite
energy drink

We kick off the show with an homage to The Drinking Man's Podcast (even though d$ is not even a drinking man!) with a sip of Mikey's new favorite beverage, Jones Soda (Yo) GABA Fuji Apple. Ew. Matty gives his update on his Yellow Jacket war, and a list of movies twenty long is reeled off which includes "Winter's Bone", "Horrible Bosses" and some crap called "Timerider". Oh, and a snooze inducing discussion between Mikey and Matty on Star Trek: The Next Generation. Good nap time for d$. In the show we also take on the digitalization of Yoda in the forthcoming Star Wars Blu-Ray set... a somewhat serious talk on America's love of "The Help" and whether it should get the accolades it gets... a somewhat not serious talk on Nic Cage's latest... d$'s ManCrush on The Rock... the failure of Conan (Barbarian, not O'Brien)... and the possibility of Blade Runner 2...

The Potluck Smorgasbord brings us movies that feature similar themes and release dates go toe to toe. Which one is better... Armageddon or Deep Impact? Platoon or Full Metal Jacket? Did you even know that "GoBots: Battle of the Rock Lord" existed? Find out in The Deucecast Movie Smackdown!!!

Matt unearths a clueless buried treasure, Mikey shares some Mumford and The Big Three features some great underrated baddies, like Grand Moff Tarken... Lotso Huggin' Bear... Gravity... Carter Burke from Aliens... Diabetes... and Tim Curry's legendary badness.

Hear that rushing wind of complaint and disgruntle?  That can only mean one thing... Hurricane Rhett stops by The Deucecast Studios for Episode XX: Mikey Nipp & the Sorcerer's Podcast, tossing up a good rant about Bad Medicine.

In this week's Music Minute, d$ takes us on a journey through his iPod, stopping along the way with Fergie... Sting... PM Dawn... The Fray... Sara Bareillis and more, while Matt's Smorg follows up on a few more movies watched, including pieces of crap like "Frozen"... "Let Me In"... "Tin Man" and more.
