Episode 142 -- Getting Reel With Shotglass Digital

Hiya Moviegoers! 

Full show tonight, as d$, P!nky and Mikey are discussing scary movies, movies that go bump in the night, movies that give you a little fright here and there, that make you hide under the blankie while staring at the closet door making sure nothing creeps out of the darkness... mwuhahahaha...

...crap... I think I just scared ourselves...

Anyway, the official announcement is... The Deucecast Movie Show is officially part of the SHOTGLASS DIGITAL NETWORK!!!!

Find out what that means, and why it's so cool in the episode. The guys also bring back a classic, "Reel or Unreel", where you can decide for yourself if "Gobble Gobble (expletive deleted)", "Monsturd" or "They Love Their Grandchildren... Well Done" are actually real titles of real movies (one of them actually is)

The Top Five of 2014 is updated by everyone, including... Draft Day!?!?! The guys also discuss their favorite Scary Films of all time... Fright Night! Poltergeist! Phantasm!  Hellraiser!  The Shining! Cube!!! So many more scares to talk about.

And what YOU have been waiting for, the results of SCARY MIKETOBER, where Mikey breaks down and ranks the five horror films he was given to watch: Poltergeist, The Exorcist, The Amityville Horror, Fright Night and Saw.

And join us next week when P!nky, Mikey and d$ go through the movies watched in the last four weeks... plus, a SPECIAL guest pops by the studio!!

Episode 141 -- Intermission: Halloween

That's right, this time the guys in The Deucecast Movie Show take on Halloween... no, not the holiday... but the 1978 classic film, Halloween.  Starting from the bone-chilling score that is comprised of just a few notes (and a million nightmares), d$, Mikey & P!nky break down the classic from John Carpenter.

Discussions include the plot itself, the infamous mask and it's origins, Jamie Lee Curtis, the music, the extended scenes and more.

This begins our three-part Halloween (the holiday, not the movie) series of shows... first, this Intermission... then, our Main Show next Monday with a Halloween-movie version of "Reel or Unreel," along with our favorite Horror Films of All Time, and the results of Miketober--Mikey watching classic scary movies, which he hates.

And before Halloween, our usual round up of ReFlicktions, this time with P!nky attempting to watch about 188 scary films per day.  Our young padawan has goals.

THIS FRIDAY... HUUUUUUGE ANNOUNCEMENT ABOUT THE PODCAST... listen live on www.thedeucecast.com or find us on Stitcher, or download the show on Monday to hear what's in store for The Deucecast Movie Show!!

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.

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.

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:

Captain America: Winter Soldier

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.

Its been a month since you've had the honor of hearing our voices in your earbuds, but thankfully for your sanity, we are here again!

And once again, we question why we let Dr Earl

So much to do this month, as we not only discuss ALL the Oscar nominations and make our picks for the winners (the Academy Awards are March 2nd), we also reveal ALL the winners for the First Annual Deucie Awards...

Will Her win out for Best Screenplay?  Will Cate Blanchett also win the Deucie for Best Actress?  And could Jaden Smith really win an award for the worst acting performance of 2013?  You betcha.

We nod our head to Philip Seymour Hoffman and Sid Caesar, who we lost in the last few weeks, and then discuss the movies we've seen since the last time we met, including Philomena... Robocop, the old and new... James Gandolfini's triumphant Enough Said... and Pinky's disdain for minions in Despicable Me 2

On the annex couch, Dr Earl also joins us for the discussion, with his latest and greatest tripe he's over the moon about... Russian Ark, anyone?
