Episode 523: The REAL Best Picture Nominees 2001

The award season is on the fast track to the big one, the Academy Awards, and it was time to revisit some of the previous Oscar seasons... specifically, the Best Picture nominees from years gone by.

And to accomplish this feat of movie strength, Mikey, Dave, and #TwitterlessDrEarl bring in Mr Independent himself, Jeremy Burgess!  

First, Burgey's take on movies you should see, both in a theater and streaming... then 2002 Oscar talk. 

Essentially... there were only five nominees for Best Picture. Within a decade, they would allow up to ten films to be nominated.  So it's our job to come up with our own lists of the other five that should have also been nominated... note: we CANNOT remove any of the existing films, we can only add to the list. 

And at the end of the show, the crew all submit one film each that should have been nominated, then a quick discussion on the final film, to come up with a Deuce Best Picture nominee list.

The existing nominees are Gosford Park, In the Bedroom, Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Rings, and Moulin Rouge!, with A Beautiful Mind winning... so the crew asks, "Did they get it right?"

Finally, Jeremy gives his take on the assigned Burgentine's Day films... 

And all through the episode, the nominations for the 9th annual Deucie Awards are announced!

Episode 520: Dave & Mikey's Oscar Nom Reactions

With the Oscar nominations just released, a professional show with a high standard of professional professionalism like The Deucecast Movie Show couldn't let another second go by without discussing such noms.

#TwitterlessDrEarl is out of pocket, doing neuroteleopathy in Burma in the Podcast Doctors Without Borders, leaving Mikey & Dave to discuss everything. 

Along the way, the guys discuss the just occurred Super Bowl and its commercials, the trailers within -- including "Doctor Strange & the Multiverse of Madness", and everything else we can think of. 

The show then gives you a rundown of all categories, giving predictions and thoughts on the majors, wondering why "Meet the Ricardos" is getting so much love, wondering where "PIG" went, wishing more for Denis Villenueve, and much more.

Episode 513: Lumps of Coal 2021

In an annual tradition, out of the dozens of movies the Deucecast loved... and out of the hundreds of movies The Deucecast guys liked... there are those that just didn't land, or maybe even crashed and burned in a spectacularly bad way.

Mikey, d$, and The Surgical Dr Earl welcome in the Spawn of Ryfun, Lil G Dawg, to discuss the bad, the terrible, the horrible, and the worst movies seen all year long. 

First up, a few "gifts" from the previous episode, as Dr Earl and Lil G discuss whatever the crap Malick is doing, while d$ gives Dr Earl his epic present for the year.  And Dr Earl hands out some gifts of his very own! 

Then, a look at the worst of the worst, with bad Tom Holland... worst Anne Hathaway... crap Marvel films... sucktastic remakes... horrifically bad horror flicks... awful Lebron... a Costas Mandylor film... disappointing Jessie Spano... boring Hugh Jackman... the well made, good movies that d$ just didn't like, or get, the Nic Cage movie that broke Lil G...

Episode 510: Christmas Movie Families

Feliz Navidad and Happy Holidays to the Deucecast Family!

It's the annual Christmas list episode, and Dave, Mikey, and #TwitterlessDrEarl keep with tradition and bring on one of our favorite past and future guests, Carnegie Hall showstopper, podcaster, mother of an undisclosed amount of offspring, and the voice the d$ has a crush on -- Jennifer Kaufman!

Kaufman checks in with her latest, this time calling from the road, as Dave dives in with birthday movies (La La Land is legit 5 years old... and Jerry Maguire is 25... what...) and then a Hallmark themed round of Faux or Shaux... which movie titles are real, and which are unreal.

Finally, the movie families that each of the crew would want to spend their holidays with... from a super time with the Parrs to the richness of the Faders to having a wonderful life at Christmas to a holiday in the upper West side to Earl's pretentiousness overall to Jennifer with a Colin/Hugh choice to happy Sirius.

It's a fantastic time, a fun hour of laughs and movie memories, and even a little magic tossed in there.

Episode 509: The Christmas Movie Role Tourney

It's that time... Christmas time is here... it's time for Christmas vacation!

Well, not quite... but almost! On the first day of December, Mike, d$, and #TwitterlessDrEarl kicks off the month of Festive Movie Cheer with the first of several Christmas episodes... and this one is a doozy, as the trio tries to determine the best Christmas movie role of all time.  And yes, this is part of the Big Bracket Canon, that being the winner advances to the 32 movie role Big Bracket, now tentatively planned for September 2023...

Expect the long shots -- the JTTs and the Refs and those with handcuffs for the holidays.  And the classics, including Santa, good and Bad, and Clause, and a Prime Minister and both Sally AND Harry. And of course, the favorites, the Buddys, the Ralphies, the Kevins, the Clarks of the season.

One by one, they are pitted against each other, with votes being cast to determine who moves on, who is out, and which Christmas movie character stands tall at the end.

Episode 508: DeuceGiving 2021

The holiday season is beginning to unfold, and with The Deucecast Movie Show, it begins with the annual DeuceGiving episode!

This is the episode where Mikey, Dave, and #TwitterlessButNotDiscordlessDrEarl gives their thanks!

Not just the traditional thanks, but this year, appreciation to movies returning... thinking about Ep 500... free streaming services... kudos to the fans... and of course,
the lovers, the dreamers, and we...

Then the guys look ahead in November, with releases coming, releases like the new claymation Robin Robin... Clifford the Big Red Dog... King Richard... and of course, Ghostbusters Afterlife

Then, a look at our favorite movies released to theaters in November -- Honest Abe and Dave's girl Amy and Pixar classics and Disney animated classics and much more!
