Back and awesome, d$, Mikey & Pinky join together at The Deucecast Studios Central, joined by movie historian & Terrence Malick Apologist the honorable Doctor Earl, and the gang is here to discuss favorite "Breakthrough" roles.
First, a little round of the newest movie game sensation that's sweeping the nation... or the studios anyway... Chronology. Put the movies in order and you win the game... bad Sandler! Bad King! Overly long Costner flicks! And even Pinky's Potables!
Then, a discussion of favorite first big roles in movies... not necessarily the first roles, but the first big roles. And along with movie discussions come movie controversies... as in... if you've never heard of a Nicole Kidman movie, could it be consider a breakout role? Is Bob Falfa really Harry Ford's first big role, or just a stepping stone to Star Wars? Do we like fat Jonah Hill or Skinny Jonah Hill? Do we really need both Margot Robbie AND Rosamund Pike? Also... early Kate Winslet... early Michael Keaton... early Audrey Hepburn... and much, much more.
Pretty in Pink takes on the movie Fletch, and find out if Pinky loved, liked, meh, disliked or hated this Chevy Chase classic... and finally...
Miketober is here! Our 2nd Annual MikeTober Movie Fest commences, as Mikey picks up his horror movie assignments for the month of October. Dr Earl gives his picks, along with friends of the show Shaz & Shua and Remodeling Clay Shaver, as well as Pinky and d$'s horror choices for Mikey's viewing terror.

Episode 191: Top 100... 60 to 51

Not the "best films", obviously, as you likely wouldn't see "While You Were Sleeping" on any "Greatest Films Ever" list... but its on d$'s list. So is a great DeNiro/Grodin 80s classic, a Stephen King novella turned movie and why in the world is there a clip featuring Sally Field and Olympia Dukakis? Get ready for the Magnolias.
Pinky reels out his a favorite Chris Nolan movie, an Emma Stone modern classic and takes the show to Monstropolis.
Mikey discusses one of his favorite Kevin Smith films, a John Cusack movie right on point, and his affinity for Bruce Campbell. All in all, 30 films discussed, and the countdown rolls on!

Episode 188: Independence Days
The 188th reiteration of The Deucecast Movie Show commences now! Though Mikey, Pinky & d$ fancy themselves to be more mainstream, they do like a good indie film every now and then... problem is, more and more films are actually independent and not from a major studio...
What better way to wade through the madness than to call upon Terrance Malick fan and film historian Dr Earl AND Friend of the Show and Boyhood Apologist Jeremy Burgess!
Birthday movies kick off the show, as "Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga'Hoole" is mentioned for one of the few times ever... five years old, I tell you!
Indie films is the topic, and among our favorite independent films tossed out are classics like Clerks and Memento and The Blair Witch and yes... a romantic comedy about Greek love, from executive producer Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson.
Then, America's favorite classic film review, Pretty in Pink, as Young Pinky gives his review of the football masterpiece, "Necessary Roughness" with Scott Bakula and Robert Loggia... and yes, Kathy Ireland. In her prime.

Welcome back to The Deucecast Movie Show where this time, we take on the Fall Movies... previews, discussions, what to watch, what to skip and what we are looking forward too.
Also joining the guys in studio is Terrence Malick Apologist and Film Historian Dr Earl, and friend of the show and Boyhood Apologist Jeremy Burgess, who also gives the rundown on the annual Sidewalk Moving Picture Show Film Festival of Films and Movies and Cinematic Experiences That you Only Can Get from Flicker Shows. (that title may not be exact)
But first... a BRAND NEW GAME!!! It's called CHRONOLOGY... you have to listen to find out what it is, but just know it does have great categories like "Oops I Crapped My Pants", "The Revenge of Seth" and "Potent Potables"
The Sidewalk Preview touches on some great up and coming films like "Raiders" and "Western", of which Jeremy gives reviews on, plus a quick overview of Jeremy's short film "Dead Saturday" with Oscar nominee Eric Roberts.
Then, the Fall Movie Preview kicks in, taking you from September thru November. Discussions on the Anne Hathaway/Robert DeNiro comedy "The Intern", plus Pinky wishing for "Gangster DeNiro" to return... "Everest" with Josh Brolin, Keira Knightley and Eric Bana, and how its IMAX Candy... "The Walk" with JoGo Levitt, and his high wire act... Sandy Bullock in "Our Brand in Crisis" and the space epic "The Martian"... Pixar's latest, Julianne Moore's new movie, and even some Oscar bait.
Plus... M Night Shymalan's new film, "The Visit". And whether it looks like it might be decent or another dumpster fire. The theory that "a lot of people die" in The Hunger Games Park
And Jeremy's obsession with "Jem & the Holograms" is passed over quickly. Okay, not really an obsession. Maybe just a jab.
Oh, and why is Daniel Radcliffe this generation's Mark Hamill?

Back when Lindsay Lohan was awesome, beautiful, wonderful and normal. And check out those hotties in the back. |
After a quick trip into the films of Rob Schneider in a "See This Not That" segment, the fave films start coming... who is the pansy who loves The Blind Side? Who is the weirdo who loves Little Miss Sunshine so much? And who truly is "MagnoliaFan69"? Abigail Breslin makes two appearances this time around, as does Sandra Bullock, while music from The George Baker Selection, Janet Jackson, Luther Vandross and even Ray Stevens is heard, another film is crossed over on two lists and listen to Mikey's list carefully... something just doesn't line up (but it will make sense in a (back to the) future episode, we promise!
Oh, and Mikey says "Woody Harrelanaissance". Don't ask why. Or how.

After a rousing game of Rotten Tomatoes, we dive straight into classic documentaries... films about William Wilburforce (?!)... the making of one of the worst films ever made... behind the scenes at a classic haunted hotel film... one of the most infuriating, heartbreaking stories ever told... a guy getting really high... and much more.

Episode 178: Movie Musical Scenes feat. Paige Davis
The guys join together to talk about a topic that may be foreign to a couple of them... not just musical movies, but musical scenes from movies, whether its a musical or not.
Not only do d$, Mikey and Pinky need to bring in some help, in the form of Nikki B and the resident Terrence Malick apologist and classic movie historian, Dr. Earl, but for this great topic, we needed to pull in the experts...
None other than Paige Davis herself, she of TV (Trading Spaces, OWN network), Broadway fame (Beauty & the Beast, Chicago), stage play (Dancing Lessons) and a great blogger and writer in her own right... Paige calls in to discuss all the music in movies fit to discuss.
The lists vary from High Fidelity's Jack Black and his Marvin Gaye impression to Ferris Bueller atop a float to Baby carrying a watermelon to Lloyd Dobler and his boombox... but lest we forget the older films too, like West Side Story, Meet Me In St. Louis, The Sound of Music, and Sister Act II: Back in the Habit? Seriously?
Paige also shares great little stories of working with Eddie Redmayne onstage, being a back up dancer with Brian Wilson and the Beach Boys and her issues with Les Miserables the movie.
And somehow, we manage a Pretty in Pink with Pinky discussing "The Last Unicorn".
All in all, a great episode that we know you will love, whether you like musicals or not!

Back and better than ever, The Deucecast Movie Show brings you the best in titillating movie conversation and deep film discussion! Mikey, Pinky & d$ are joined by frequent contributors The Enchanting Nikki B & Dr Earl, our resident film historian and Terrence Malick Apologist.
First up, a round of The IMDb Game, where towards the end, things go completely haywire, numbers are flying and #mathing is hard...
Then, an extended version of Stay Seated / Walk Out, which poses random cinematic questions and the crew decides whether it's viable...
Is The Rock the most bankable action star in Hollywood? Should Vin Diesel keep making Furious movies? How does Sam Worthington compare to Tom Hardy and his luscious lips? And what's at stake for Pixar's "Inside Out" when it comes to stacking up with Disney's animated classics?
The main topic is "Fave Comics to Movies" when it comes to comic characters... how does Hugh Jackman's portrayal of Wolverine in the films compare to the character in the pages of the comics? What about Robert Downey Jr? And of course, Samuel L. Jackson, who was the inspiration for a modern retooling of a character that he ended up playing in the films themselves... and many many more. Heck, even Karl Urban and Jackie Earle Haley gets some love!
Finally... who do you cast as the new Spider-man? The Deucecast Movie Show has a few ideas...

Heck, even Karl Urban and Jackie Earle Haley gets some love!
Finally... who do you cast as the new Spider-man? The Deucecast Movie Show has a few ideas...

Ex Machina... Pitch Perfect 2... Wet Hot American Summer... The Big Bounce... Wolf Cop... Enough Said... A Simple Plan... Top Gun (yes, Pinky had never seen it...)... the remake of Poltergeist... The Woman in Black 2 (or was it Red? Black? Who cares, it sucked)... A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night (the world's best Iranian vampire western)... Tracks... And the Oscar Goes To... Galaxy Quest (and how it stacks up against Spaceballs)... Goon... Donnie Brasco... Intersteller (Nikki B simply says, "....um... yeah...")... The Treasure of the Sierra Madre... Tinkerbell & the Neverbeast... Amadeus... Deep Blue Sea... The Punk Singer... Disconnect...
Also, in-depth looks at "Tomorrowland", featuring the new Jennifer Lawrence (according to Mikey), named Britt Something or Other... the amount of Easter Eggs in the film... Pinky's issue with the "preachiness" of the movie... the problems that will come with the low box office totals...
Thoughts on Reese Witherspoon's casting of Tinkerbell in the live action "Tinkerbell"...
Why "San Andreas" is Mikey's new favorite disaster movie and why d$ calls it "a smart stupid movie"...
And the glory and spectacle that is "Mad Max: Fury Road". Mad Freakin' Max. Awesome.
Coming up next week on The Deucecast Movie Show Episode 177, comic book character adaptations to the silver screen!
