Episode 133 -- Thank you Robin Williams

On August 11th, 2014, we movie lovers had a tremendous loss occur with the passing of one of the most prolific actors of our generation, that being Robin Williams.


So the guys--d$, Mikey and P!nky--along with special in-studio guests Hurricane Rhett and Matty the Former Co-Host, with a special appearance by Deucecast Sweetheart Steph, pay tribute to Robin Williams by doing a full retrospective.


The guys don't dive into Robin's private life, his struggles or his demons, leaving that for other shows... instead, they track his complete career from beginning to the most recent films, sometimes breezing past a few, other times, like "Good Will Hunting", "Good Morning Vietnam", "Dead Poets Society", "Aladdin" and more, taking their time and having a great discussion on those films.


Join us as we have a great time celebrating the films of Robin Williams--and yes, acknowledging the fact there were some clunkers too--on this episode of The Deucecast Movie Picture Show

The normal crew of Dave, Pinky, and Mike is joined by special guests Rhett and Former Co-Host Matt to discuss all aspects of the movie. Rhett of course has to find some things to complain about.

Welcome back to the best podcast concerning movies with hosts named P!nky, Mikey and d$ that you will hear today... NAY... this week.  Maybe even this month.  Dare I say... ever?  Especially since Dr. Earl is back up in the hizzy again.

The guys are back in the Nic Cage Studio on the Deuce Digital Network, kicking off the summer with a great show full of movie news and fun.  Right away, Mikey starts with Nipp News, covering Harrison Ford's leg break, plus the DC film lineup, including the projected date for the Affleck stand-alone Batman film.

Friend of the Show and former co-host Matt joins in for a rousing game of Box Office Mojo as they take on Tom Cruise movies, then finally dive into the Big Five Topic--favorite sidekicks in films.

Garth Algar from Wayne's World... Abe from Blade... Fozzie Bear... Kronk from The Emperor's New Grove... Dean from License to Drive... and so many more names tossed into the mix... plus, is Silent Bob an actual sidekick to Jay, or are they equal?  Some of the guys agree... some don't.

Finally... some change over as the guys give their Top Five of the Year (so far), and then assign films for viewing... d$ will watch Steal and Escape from Tomorrow, while Mikey will see the doc Superheroes and Detachment, and P!nky has to catch My Bodyguard and 1992's Dracula.

The Episode with the Awesome Draft

Here comes your movie-guiding-light through tumult of bad film and greatness of good cinema... whatever that means.


Mikey, P!nky and d$ once again take the microphones, sans two turntables, to tell you about all the good and bad movies they've seen, what you should see and avoid, and to rib P!nky about his growing Jimmy Stewart obsession.


We discuss at length films like The Amazing Spider Man 2... A Million Ways to Die in the West... Neighbors... It's a Wonderful Life... and of course, X-Men: Days of Future Past...


A stirring game of Ryan Phillippe holds forth, moderated skillfully by P!nky (how many Chris Cooper movies can YOU name?) and our first edition of Pretty in Pink, where Mikey and d$ make the prediction as to how much he liked Dirty Dancing upon seeing it recently for the first time.


The guys then hold the first ever 2014 Deucecast BadA** Draft, where we decide which action characters would fill up a 10 person roster of the most awesome, kick buttedness team we could possibly put together... names like John Matrix (Commando)... Ripley (Alien)... James Bond (the Casino Royale version)... Jason Bourne... and who picks The Bear Jew from Inglorious Basterds?  Find out!


A great discussion is had on the upcoming Star Wars dealings, including recent casting news and a prospective one-off film, and what the guys think it will be, then a rabbit trail discussion on how Disney and Star Wars is faring against Harry Potter at Universal Studios in Orlando.


We wrap it up with the promise of movies that will be seen over the next month and discussed, including Frozen Ground, the new epic with Cusack and Cage... Never Sleep Again, a four hour doc on Nightmare on Elm Street... and Ashley Judd's award winning story of Flypaper.

The Episode with Stupid Movies

Sometimes you do things, like podcast episodes, that you are so proud of, you want to yell to the Heavens and say, "Look at what we've done! Look at our splendor of Awesomesauce!" 


And when The Deucecast Movie Picture Show has an episode like that, we'll make sure to let our fans know... BUT we did record an episode that we do like very much... because it is on our level.


That's right, in this episode, d$, Mikey and P!nky take on "Stupid Movies".  Movies that aren't very smart, movies that perhaps wanted to be great and ended up being kinda dumb (Scream IV)... or really dumb (Airheads)... but that are loved very much in spite of, perhaps for that, very reason!


In depth discussions on really stupid films like The Adventures of Buckaroo Bonsai... Double Impact... Flash Gordon... Honey I Blew Up the Kid.. Con Air.. Snake Eyes... and yes, Batman Forever


The Three are joined in The Deucecast Studios by new friend of the show Mackey, and returning friend of the show, Drew / Morris, while producers Tommy and Shawn also wait in the wings.  And ol' pal Tom Johnson walks through the door at some point.


P!nky and d$ go through a lengthy discussion of little known parody film The Starving Games while Mikey grins in earnest... and although Kurt Russell's Breakdown was P!nky's assigned film to watch, he ends up watching another film instead... with surprising results.


The topics also hit hot button issues like, Johnny Depp's career... where Star Wars will be in 50 years... and what might it look like if JJ Abrams bombs in Episode VII... the guys play a rousing game of "Box Office Mojo" and give the latest incarnation of the Top Five of 2014.


Join us next month, as it's a kick off to summer with MANLY MOVIES... plus a whole lot more fun and the gang being testosteroney (which is the REAL San Francisco treat)


Movies discussed at length this episode:


Beauty & the Beast
Captain America: Winter Soldier
Convoy
Draft Day
End of Watch
The Grand Budapest Hotel
Lovelace
Noah
Oculus
The Starving Games
True Romance
Unbreakable

We play an old fashioned round of "Eliminate Pinky From the Movie Game" before Mikey and d$ actually play The Movie Game, and discuss some of the films we'll be watching over the next month... Like End of Watch (Mikey)... The Station Agent (Pinky)... and Paranoia (d$)... plus, Mikey dishes out his punishment for the other two after he won the Oscar game.

Robocop, the old and new... James Gandolfini's triumphant Enough Said... and Pinky's disdain for minions in Despicable Me 2

Favorite Disney Movies

For the Christmas Holiday Season we want you to unwrap an episode previously lost. We recorded this back in October and we discuss our favorite Disney Movies. Oh and Dave says good bye... but not for long if you've seen our recent announcement.

Thursday, October 3, 2013

Brothers in Movies

"Hey Brother.." That's right we at The Deucecast Movie Picture Show love Hollywood Movie Families. The brotherly love of Charlie Sheen and Emilio Estevez, Beau and Jeff Bridges, and of course Alec, Stephen, William, and Daniel Baldwin. Mike, Pinky, and Dr. Earl take the reigns this week as Dave is visiting that Mouse in Florida. We pick our favorite brothers in movies together in such movies as The Fabulous Baker Boys , Young Guns, and of course I'm Gonna Git You Sucka.

We ReFlick movies such as Blue Jasmine, The Family, and Prisoners. Including a very special "Moment With Malick" brought to you by Dr. Earl.

Discuss our Top 5 of the year. There are some major changes thanks to the majesty of Prisoners.

And there is a rousing new game created by Mike that Dr. Earl is really good at... he may or may not win with spouting out the answer Grand Prix.

Be sure to download this week's episode on iTunes and rate and review us as you see fit. You can always stream the episode on your Android or Blackberry device via Stitcher and stream the episode right here on this magnificent website.

Be sure to look for us next week as we drop our next Intermission episode. This time on the DeNiro Classic Taxi Driver.

Intermission: Scarface

Its another quick hit on another classic film, as always with The Deucecast Intermission, and this time, the guys take on the Al Pacino gangster film Scarface from 1983.  A mainstay in the IMDb Top 250, and considered one of the greatest modern era films of all time, Scarface is the story of Tony Montana, a Cuban immigrant who rises to power in Miami and becomes a drug overlord... before watching all of it fall apart at the hands of his own product.

Starring Michelle Pfieffer, F. Murray Abraham, Robert Loggia, a bunch of names none of us had ever heard of, and Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio, who later went on to be blue and naked in The Abyss and also star in Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves (outperforming Kevin Costner... but lets face it, the left knee of the guy who played Little John's younger sister outperformed Kevin Costner) and The Color of Money.

Listen to the episode and hear the disappointment dripping out of our voices as we all expected to... well, you know, actually like this movie...

Movies about Football Stuff

On this Episode of The Deucecast Movie Picture Show... the guys tackle movies with football themes in them.  First, though, there are the list of movies they've seen in the last few weeks, including 2 Guns, The Wolverine and Blue Jasmine, plus Mikey loves Riddick...

Our "See This, Not That" game challenges the guys to find a good and a bad movie with Julia Roberts, Kevin James and more... while Pinky struggles bigtime with The Movie Game.

The main topic is Football films, like The Blind Side and The Waterboy and Any Given Sunday, plus heated debates about whether Jerry Maguire, The Last Boy Scout or Lucas are actually football films... hmm...

Join us next week on The Deucecast Intermission, as we take on the bloody mess that is Scarface, and while d$ is out for the following The Deucecast Movie Picture Show, Mikey and Pinky hold down the fort with whatever they feel like discussing!

Sunday, September 8, 2013

Intermission: Sabrina

On the episode of The Deucecast: Intermission.... Mikey, Pinky and d$ channel the romance by taking on a 1954 classic (and thereby fueling Mikey's odd mancrush on William Holden) called "Sabrina".

Its a tale of a girlish crush, a playboy gent and an older brother... the girl loves the gent, who is attached to someone else, and that someone else is the key to a mega business deal... and all the sorts of hilarity and heartstrings-pulledness occurs along the way.

The guys discuss the likes and dislikes of the film, along with all sorts of little trivia (like, did you know Humphrey Bogart thought Audrey Hepburn was talentless, and that co-star William Holden was kinda stupid?)

Don't forget, next week on The Deucecast Movie Picture Show, all the usual frivolity, including discussing football films... and then on the next Deucecast Intermission, we go family friendly... with Al Pacino's "Scarface"

Movies Made into TV Series

On this episode of The Deucecast Movie Picture Show... Mikey, Pinky & d$ once again join forces to fight the evils of non-movie watching, to promote the good of movie watching, and to discuss lots and lots of movies watched.

In ReFlicktions, bringing up the films seen in the last two weeks, the guys hit a number of titles, including "View From the Top"... "Mud"... "CLUE"... "The Evil Dead", the original.... "The World's End"... "Spy Kids 2: The Island of Lost Dreams"... and a bunch of indy films that Mikey loved, like "Muscle Shoals" and "Zero Charisma".

The topic today included movies that were turned into television shows, like "Ferris Bueller"... "The Real Ghostbusters"... a few of the 403 "Stargate" reiterations... and d$'s love of "Muppet Babies".  Some tackled it from the angle of "good movies that were turned into good and bad shows", and we also hit the side of "eh movies turned into good tv shows", like "Buffy the Vampire Slayer", to which Pinky had no idea that it was, in fact, a movie first.

The guys also touch on the movies that were assigned to them to see, including "Side Effects"... "Muriel's Wedding"... and an odd film that Pinky will put into his DVD collection from here on out.

The Ryan Phillippe Game returns, with Mikey, d$ and Pinky battling it out as to who can name the most films of a given actor, and in a new twist on "See This, Not That", names and topics are tossed out at random via the "Magic Movie Wheel".

Finally, d$ ends the show on a personal note, with a non-movie related topic, but is still good to hear...

Next go round... the guys take on "Football Themed Films" for the now-here football season... and don't forget next week's Intermission, where we discuss at length the Audrey Hepburn classic, "Sabrina"
