The Deucecast Movie Show: Recent Episodes
Michael Nipp
We watch a lot of movies, new and old. We have fun talking about what we like (and don't like) about them. We're part of the RetroZap podcast network.
It's that time of the year, when the summer sun begins to lessen, when the dog days of summer are over (thanks Florence + the Machine) and school has settled back... its the fall movie schedule.
And with that, the Fall Movie Preview of 2025!
New Yorgos! New Clooney! New Baumbach! More Mark Wahlberg! Josh O'Connor keeps showing up! Emma Stone continues to ruin her life! Lizzy Olsen in a non-Avengers movie! Stephen King adaptations! Elphaba and Glinda are back! Mikey tries to say Anemone! Rose Byrne goes for the Oscar! Springsteen gets the Dylan treatment! Disney is back! And more magic movies! All of this, plus Dave finally pays off Dave'Stalgia, reviewing, and ranking, assigned classic movies from the 20s all the way up to the 70s!

Garrison's recommendations... a vampire Chris Sarandon... wanting your two dollars... catching up with Mark Holton... Mahoney and his crew... ending the Cold War...

This week... a classic ep from It's confession time... Mikey, Pinky and Dave have things to get off their chest, secrets (or not so secrets) that they have been hiding down deep... but confession is good for the soul. It's time to talk about these things out loud so the healing can begin.
And what better way to bare the soul than to do it with friends... Terrance Malick apologist, Witt Stillman fan and movie historian Dr Earl comes into talk about what is weighing on him, and Friend of the Show and Miss Independent Jeremy Burgess joins the group as well to discuss his movie confessions. The state of Pixar! Hating on The Rock! Hating on The Snape! Hating on Costner! Loving on The Cage! Becoming a Bronie! Hallmark lovin! And so much more... Movies... actors... actresses... genres... tropes... these are the things that only a few people love... or things that everyone loves that only a few hate... or that everyone knows about that hasn't been experienced... These are our confessions. Also, our first Cepheus reference, as well as Ginuine's "Pony Find the original episode listing here

The year is 1984... Mikey and d$ were kids... Dr Earl was a young dude. And Aussie Nate wasn't even born... but it was a very, very good year! Its the second week of our Summer Series as we look back at many years past, and the greatest movies from those years... and today, we invite in Friend of the Show Aussie Nate, who picks the year 1984.
When we did our Greatest Movie Year Tourney back in the day, 1984 was the winner and this year is stacked! From fake band mockumentarys to movies that are pretty much be canceled to Indy trilogy to Axel Foley's first appearance to Daniel Sahn's first appearance (and did Johnny actually win? or cheat?) and the trouble with not feeding them after midnight, plus multiple Toxie movies and a neverending franchise, and the truth about Scotty Schwartz and Kidco...

The summer is here! We are but two weeks away from the official summer equinox, but it already feels hot and sassy outside. This summer, The Deucecast Movie Show is looking back at years prior to the show's beginning. As we approach our 700th episode, leading up to it we will be doing a series of Top Tens -- each one focusing in on a particular year.
Mikey, d$, and #XLessDrEarl invite in Friend of the Show Garrison Ryfun, and G has picked The Year of Our Lord 2006.
We run through the year - the bigger news stories of the year, the top ten films, the Oscar noms and winners, even the Razzie Award highlights, plus where we exactly were in 2006... Mikey and Dave freshly married (though not to each other... not yet anyway), Dr Earl building hospitals in the Baja California dessert, and Garrison being the only kid in KinderCare who was familiar with Bong Joon Ho. Enjoy the show this week, and check back next week when we dive into... 1984!
It's a quadra-annual tradition, as the Deucecast Movie Show compiles a list of movies that YOU need to see that will be dropping, releasing, and streaming in the next three months.
This week, #XLessDrEarl is returning from his attending Friend of the Show Roth from Wyoming's wedding to the wonderful Lady Roth from Wyoming, so Mike and d$ read the notes to show you what to expect.
First up, a quick review of MI: FiReck that hit theaters this weekend -- where it falls on the overall Mission Impossible rankings, and what they loved about it (full review featured in June's ReFlicktions)... then, the summer preview, with new John Wick... new Wes Andy... Predator won't die... the Smurfs won't go away... and someone thinks that someone cares about Dora... plus, Live Action Dragons, Pixar's film that no one is talking about... Brad Pitt drives fast... M3GAN is the hero now?... more live action dragons... Netflix sequels no one cares about... Superman and Fantastic Four get their day in the spotlight... Liam Neeson goes slapstick... Idris Elba and Sydney Sweeney doing work... some director named Ron Howard finally gets a follow up to his hit Cocoon... Spike and Denzel back together again... and Peter Dinklege goes Toxie...
Another month, another set of movies, another attempt from the MCU to try to revive the MCU... it's time for ReFlicktions! Dave, Mikey, and #XLessDrEarl are back to discuss another round of films seen, assigned, and watched over the last few weeks...
Amongst the topic of conversation, Benaffleck returns to count and shoot... d$ and his Netflix docs... Anna Kendrick swings and misses... Rami Malek swings and misses... Val Kilmer swings and misses... Viola Davis swings and misses... Tom Hardy swings and misses... MCU hits a home run... Walter Matthau gets busy... death comes for us all... and a movie Mikey refuses to watch. It's also InternationEarl as our Dr. Earl pays off the films from around the world he's seen, as assigned by d$, Mikey, and Friends of the Show Burgess and Garrison.

The MCU served us up another chapter in their long saga of Cinema, and it's time for d$, Mikey, and #XLessDrEarl to give an MCU Ranking.
We invite in Fan Fave and Friend of the Show, the Pride of Villa Rica Georgia, Young Garrison "Spawn of Ryfun" Ryfun calls in, Marvel fan that he is.
Starting with 2008's "Iron Man", the guys run through the entire MCU, and all of it's faves, giving their list of their faves, ultimately giving a Top Ten from each, then a show Top Ten.
How does your top ten align with ours?
It's a tradition around the Deucecast Movie Show that we always want to honor our moms on Mother's Day... and sometimes that means showing the world how lucky we are that our Moms are NOT the moms in movies.
This week on the show, Friend of the Show, Mr Independent himself Jeremy Burgess, joins d$, Mikey, and #XLessDrEarl to talk all about the worst, meanest, sometimes most murderous and villainous moms in all the movies. From creatures from space to cheerleader moms to grifting moms to abusive moms and more.
Plus, Burgess gives his take on not just small indie films to watch for, but some mainstream films that everyone should see. Then, a rousing game of Part 3 Rotten Tomatoes.
And, likely the first mention of Club Shay Shay on the podcast ever.

As we celebrate yet another May the 4th (be with you), Mikey, d$ and #XlessDrEarl change up their Star Wars topics a bit - instead of fave scenes or ranking the movies, this time, its a look at all the movies that Star Wars inspired... some that turned out to be legendary... some that turned out to be legendarily bad... Can't Force alone, so the crew invites in Fan Fave and longtime friend of the show Hurricane Rhett Barnett, and he gives his own take on the 2024 comedy horror movie "Heretic" as well as a brief chat about the rerelease of "Revenge of the Sith", which has Mikey using the word "Refractory" and Rhett using the phrase "Marital Bed".
Then they play what turns about to be a disastrous version of "Everything Everywhere All At Once Upon a Time in Hollywood", which may end up being retired at some point because no one can play the stupid thing (note: d$'s opinion).
Then, a top five of Star Wars Adjacent, with some classic Flash Gordon and a chat about Sam Jones and Jacko (OY!), plus star fighters and dark stars and stars with battles beyond them, plus a glave, a hole, Ridley Scott's inspiration, and even kitchen appliances in a classic short film.
It's been a while but finally, the door has been closed on 2024 with last week's Deucie Awards (congrats to all the winners!) and Mikey, d$, and #XLessDrEarl are here with their first batch of post-Deucie ReFlicktions, plus the first Top Five of the Year list!
Off the top of the show, Miss Independent and The Pride of Tifton Garrison Ryfun, along with hosts Mikey and d$, assign foreign, aka InternationEARL, movies to the Good Doctor for watching and reviewing in an upcoming episode.
Then, the list of films seen over the last 7 or 8 weeks... d$ sees classic Warren Beatty... Dr Earl takes on controversial Netflix... and Mikey finds rare Kevin Smith. Plus, a longer talk on the good and bad of Mickey17... love for Soderbergh... not love for the latest Chris Pratt... docs about Clue, Kaufman (Andy, not Jen), and murderous daughters... prescient pope stuff... Reggie Miller vs Spike Lee... Jack Black successfully always being Jack Black... and much love for the latest Michael B Jordan joint.
Then, the first Top Five of 2025!
With the year 1/4th over, it is time to finally stick a fork into 2024 movies, with our list of our favorite films... AND awarding the best films of the year.
It's the coveted Deucie Awards, and for the 12th year in a row, Mikey, d$ and Dr. Earl are here to give out the best in Comedy, Drama, Cinematography, Animation, Documentary, Music, Screenplay, Sci-Fi/Horror, Brain Candy, and of course, the acting awards, direction, and Best Picture! The Brutalist has a record 8 nominations, with Civil War getting 7 noms, A Complete Unknown with 6, while Dune Part Two and Wicked each getting 5.
Can Denis Villeneuve get his 3rd Deucie Award of his career? Can Saoirse Ronan get her third? Or can Florence Pugh join Denis, Saoirse, and Adam Driver as the only movie makers to get 2?
Plus, what films impressed Dr. Earl, Mikey, and d$ that they end up on their respective Top Ten lists of the year? And you'll recognize a lot of the voices you hear on this ep, as we get all of our faves to assist!
While we are well into 2025, there are still a few 2024 moments to wrap up... one being, of course, the annual Deucie Awards, along with the Top Ten of the Year from d$, Mikey, and #XLessDrEarl...
...but that's next week.
This week, however, we get ready for the Top Ten by giving you the five leading up to it. Our Almost Top Ten Top Five, with love and shoutouts to some big films like Conclave, Rebel Ridge, Sing Sing, and even love to one that deserved more, like Furiosa.
Also, a quick glance at some recent movies seen, like A Working Man and Minecraft.
Plus, a special nod to the recently passed legendary actor Val Kilmer, as we give our fave Val movies.

With the new Superman footage and cast list being leaked and revealed little by little, we thought it a good time to visit and revisit The Justice League, and a little "See This / Not That". #XLessDrEarl is on assignment in Zamunda, so we invite in a Podcast Legend, the Podfather of Geek Out Loud - the one and only Steve Glosson. Glosson, Mikey, and d$ do a little catch up here and there, then discuss the actors and actresses from the Justice League - Henry Cavill, Willem Dafoe, Gal Gadot, Jeremy Irons, Benaffleck, and more -- all with suggestions and our takes on their movies you should see (Arrival! The Town! Dune!) and movies you should totally skip (Heart of Stone... Eragon... Argylle...) Plus a great chat on Marvel and Disney and all the things.
Dave and Mikey decide to give the reigns over this week to The Criterion Crew aka Garrison, Burgess, and Dr. Earl. So prepare for a pretentious extravaganza of film discussion.
Tis a sad fact that we all must face at some point - our Hollywood legends have begun to fall. It was easy to take the deaths of Cary Grant or Bing Crosby or Natalie Wood as we barely knew them as celebrities, only the movies they gave us to entertain us.
But it is a sad fact that time is undefeated, and names like Hoffman, Eastwood, Pacino, Streep, Hanks, DeNiro, those celebrities we've watched in their primes and beyond, will become names of the past... thus, Gene Hackman has moved to that hallowed ground. With reverence and love, Mikey, d$, and #XLessDrEarl take a look at the entire filmography of one Mr Hackman, and listing off their own personal favorite roles - all to come up with a definitive Top 10 of Gene's movies.
Along the way, they try to define the generation of movie stars in the 70s and 80s (New Hollywood?), plus give quick reviews of new films "Novocaine" and "Black Bag".
It's almost the Ides of March (a movie that ironically was not released in March) and it's time to look back over the last 25 Marches -- with the best movies from the 3rd month of the year in the 21st Century!
First, d$, Mikey, and #XLessDrEarl opens up the show with a quick look at "Mickey 17", the latest from Garrison Ryfun's director boo, Bong Joon-ho, and the good... and the bad... and the bad... and maybe some of the good.
Then, checking out the March classics - from PG&E fightin' lawyers to ninja gang wars to The Rock's gay bodyguard - to the new soon-to-be classics like sand worms to Wes Anderson's animated pooches to John Goodman's creepy cellar dwelling.
Plus... what did we forget? A lot, unfortunately.

It's our Top Ten, and it's Harrison Ford, so it's our Harrison Ford Top Ten.
First, a review of Captain America Brave New World.
Then, a quick round of Rotten Tomatoes with all February movies.
Finally, a complete listing of Harrison Ford's entire filmography, as d$, Mikey, and #XLessDrEarl go movie by movie.
In a world full of Oscar winners, there is also a large population of worthy performers who never had their own Academy Award moments. Whether being nominated one time, or seven times, or no times, nary a winning ballot with their name on it.
Mikey, d$, and #XLessDrEarl invite in Miss Independent himself, Jeremy Burgeydoodle, to discuss twenty four dudes and twenty three dames, all with bodies of excellent work. Actors from Ed Harris in "The Right Stuff" to Michael B Jordan's "Fruitvale Station" to d$'s girlfriend Amy Adams in "American Hustle" to Margot Robbie in... well, something good.
Idris! Harrison! ScarJo! Mia! And so many more great thespians, all with one question - "Why don't they have an Oscar yet?", and tonight, we find out who truly defines that question.
Plus, the 8th Annual Burgentine's Day commences, as Jeremy discusses his assigned films - "About Time", "Some Kind of Wonderful", "Notting Hill", "She's the One", and "A Single Man"... who wins and who falls to the bottom this year?
Inching ever closer to the monumental episode #700, Mikey, d$, and #XLessDrEarl are here to discuss not just life in the movies... but AFTERLIFE in the movies. The coolest, scariest, most unique, or best (subjective) portrayals of the Heavenly Realm... or the Hot Basement... and maybe even some purgatory in between. First, the Angelic Trio checks out the box office in 2024, with a round of Box Office Mojo - figuring out what films made the most money... domestically of course (because we aren't communists), and in the calendar year.
Then, a list of films featuring the Big Guy Upstairs, Ol' No Shoulders down below, a few angels, a few demons and more. From Bill and Ted to Swayze to Albert Brooks to some Pixar Dr. Earl has never seen, it's a fun list. A blessed list, we hope. Thoughts and prayers. Has to be blessed with Malick, right? Right?
Finally, a quick look at the new film "Companion", and both d$ and Mikey's recommendations.
It's the start of a new year, which means it's time for a new round of Movie ReFlicktions, as Mikey, d$, and #XLessDrEarl are back to ReFlickt'd all the movies they've seen in the last several weeks!
A double dose of Liam Neeson kicks off the reviews, with Producer Tommy's offspring in a Lifetime Movie, The Don' biopic, a cartoon Hobbit, Jerry Buts is back with his thievery den, and Dr. Earl goes old school with some Javert and Jean Valjean. Also, d$ continues his love for his Hollywood beloved, but fears for the choices being made.
A slate of documentaries cover everything from Superman to Kermit to The Beach Boys to Michael McDonald's sound in Yacht Rock music. Plus a random chat about young Hollywood and much more.

The review of 2024 films are in full swing, but first there is the annual look back at the movies seen last year that were NOT FROM last year. Its the NOT 2024 Top Ten, where we highlight films worthy of a second discussion because they just impacted us so much.
And for the 3rd year running on this particular episode, Dave, Mikey, and #TwitterlessDrEarl welcome in Friend of the Show, streaming live from the freezing metropolis somewhere in Bainbridge, Wyoming, that is one Jacob "Roth from Wyoming."
Together, the foursome discuss their top ten faves of the year from all over the place, as far back as the early 20s and 30s to all the way through the 60s and 70s and in 2010s and 2020s... assigned movies come into play as films others were asked to watch appear in various Top Tens, while Burgess recommended movies keep coming up as well.
Mikey is loving some old Gena Rowland and Walter Matthau as an action star, while #XLessDrEarl digs into more music docs, Dave revisits a Hallmark fave, and Roth finally sets sail on the ship of dreams. Plus, why did Green Book get so much hate, Eastwood represents (even if he is a d-bag of a romantic partner) and Powers Boothe makes another list.
Also... Garrison makes a random appearance with lots of Chucky Grodin love.

It's become an annual tradition that started with d$ wanting an excuse to talk about Jackie Chan's "The Foreigner"... a movie not worth of a Top Ten of the year appearance, but worthy of discussion... a surprise, nay, an absolute delight. Hence, the annual "Surprise & Delight" episode!
These are movies that surprised and delighted Mikey, d$, #XLessDrEarl, and even Friend of the Show, Miss Independent himself, Jeremy Burgess.
First up, some chatter about Eric Roberts' new autobiography, plus thoughts on the indie movie scene. Then, Jason Statham's IP'ness... Jake Gyllenhaal's "Road House"... Hugh Grant's winning villainy... d$ getting it wrong, then getting it Hot n Frosty right... plus love for Glen Powell and admiration for Sebastian Stan.
Then, 2025's Burgentine's Day commences, as assignments are given from the the crew and a few friends...
It's that time of the year, when the annual Movie Auction takes place... and by "the annual", we mean the second one we've ever done!
In a concept borrowed from The Big Picture Podcast (all nods and love to Amanda Dobbins, Chris Ryan, and Sean Fennessey), Mikey and d$ are joined by Friends of the Show Garrison "Pride of Kennesaw" Ryfun and Roth from Wyoming to fill out their roster of films for 2025.
Everyone has a proverbial $1000 to work with, as various movies are put on the auction block and bid for - with the intentions of getting the movies that will make the most money domestically, as well as will get both Oscar love in early 2026.
The big ones are all hear -- Fantastic Four, Avatar, Wicked, and Superman included -- plus some surprises, like live action Stitch and Toothless, a Peruvian Paddington, more dinosaurs, and Glen Powell running.
A Rotten Tomatoes game determines the draft order, and will Roth go rogue again??
HAPPY NEW YEAR from all of us guys here at The Deucecast Movie Show! 2025 is here, and we are anxiously awaiting Mickey 17, Fantastic Four: The First Steps, Thunderbolts, more Avatar, and whatever else ridiculousness the movie year will bring us...
...but first, we have to put 2024 to bed, at least in terms of movies seen. Thus, our final ReFlicktions show of the year!
First, d$ finds some movie "white whales", including his beloved Katie Heigl... Dr Earl goes all in on music docs... our former show producer's offspring makes a movie... Mikey works on Oscar hopefuls, but doesn't love the latest Disney offering... d$ fills a 100 movie goal... they go all in on Nosferatu... and both Hallmark and Lifetime Movie Network are repped in the same episode...

Two voices always emerge every December, even if they haven't been heard on the show all year... first, The Cheetah Girls, reminding us that it is, in fact, a Marshmallow World... and second, the beloved Carnegie Hall headliner herself, Jennifer Kaufman... and it's now that very time!
In this episode, Mikey and d$ welcome in Friend of the Show Roth from Wyoming and the aforementioned Jenny Kauf, not only to catch up a little, but also to do our very first Christmas Movie Draft.
Picking films to fit into 7 categories - Movies with Santa... RomComs... Christmas Comedies... Christmas Classic films (anything from the 20th Century, really)... Unconventional holiday films... Short films (60 minutes or less)... and Wild Card... each of the foursome picks and drafts movies to their own lineup, in an effort to have the best Christmas Film lineup of the show!
And you decide -- let us know on X or in our DeuceCord which movie list you think won the day!
Because, you know, Life, this week we present a classic ep from the Deucecast Movie Show archives... its Christmas Gifts 2018, first released on December 19th, 2018, with Mikey, Earl, d$, and a returning Clay Shaver... The original show notes: But joining Mikey, Dave, and #Twitterless Dr Earl, is Friend of the Show, back for his fourth Christmas Gifts episode, "No Just" Clay Shaver! A little chit chat and catch up on movies and documentaries, and then the guys start handing out the merth and merry of Christmas gifts. Amongst those opening Christmas gifts underneath the Deucecast Movie Show tree include Disney head honcho Bob Iger... busybody Tiffany Haddish... a Netflix Oscar of major proportions... Jennifer Garner getting more serious... Rian Johnson a real non-sci fi franchise... and much, much more. Oh, and Clay has a new idea for the masses along the lines of his legendary 30 year reboot rule
It's our annual episode of giving and thanking, as we at the Deucecast celebrate DeuceGiving 2024!
Mikey, d$, and #XLessDrEarl are here to share what has made us happy and grateful this year, including Mikey's great pick 'em... Disney storytelling... Sidewalk Cinema... Carl Weathers... Deadpool & Wolverine... and indie Ethan Hawke too.
Plus a few birthday movies for the month of November, and our many thanks to all of you!
Happy Thanksgiving!
In the latest Deuceecast Movie Show ep, the last of the scary movie season slips away, as the merry movie season begins to take hold for 2024!
Mikey, d$, and #XLessDrEarl are back with another rousing batch of movies to be ReFlicked -- first, a quick sports update as all the teams win except for the teams that lose. Then jumping in with Mikey's "Smile 2", and continuing on with old monster movies, Albert Brooks relationship dramedy, and modern classic Sandler, along with brand new horror films on Netflix, a last dance of a symbiote, and of course, The Rock saves Christmas in Red One... and who actually liked it?
We go over our assigned films, as well as assign more, plus the latest Top 5 of 2024.
He's one of the last real superstars, and last real movie stars that we've had in Hollywood, and no, we aren't talking about our friend Jeremy Burgess...
We are talking one Thomas Mapother IV, aka, Tom Cruise, and it's time for the show to do our official Tom Cruise Top 10. Mikey and d$ are joined, as per usual, by #XLessDrEarl and a big movie fan, the Pride of Dahlonega, Spawn of The Voice of Valdosta, Lil Garrison Ryfun to count them down.
First, Garrison gives his review on the latest Pope romcom, "Conclave", with #XLessDrEarl chiming in a little.
Then, starting with "Endless Love" and ending with "Mission Impossible Dead Reckoning", and every Tom Cruise movie in-between - each of the guys list their fave Cruise films as we go along.
Finally, at the end of the show, an overall average is taken and the Official Tom Cruise Top Ten Films are announced!
By the time you finally hear this episode, we will know who the President will be in January... or maybe we won't. Maybe we'll know later today, or next month, who knows. But what we do know is movie elections! Mikey, d$, and #XLessDrEarl invite in Friend of the Show Jacob Roth from Wyoming to discuss all the voting in movies.
First up, a look at the latest Good Day for a Movie Podcast, co-hosted by Roth from Wyoming, and what the latest films are. Then, a round of IMDb Top Four, picking out the most known projects of certain actors and such.

With a little nod to All Hallow's Eve, the guys at the Deucecast are here to celebrate some of the best in suspense and horror and creepy movies, with the first ever Horror Movie Draft.
#XLessDrEarl was called away to a patient found in a bathtub of ice with no kidneys and is doing the proper surgery now -- but stepping into the pretentious spot, Miss Independent himself, the Burgerler, Jeremy Burgess.
The rules are simple... after playing a quick Box Office Mojo game, in a snake style draft, the guys select horror and scary movies from across Hollywood's years, filling out a list that will ultimately get a movie from the 1960s or previous... the 70s... the 80s... the 90s... the 2000s... the 2010s... and 2020 until current date. Some are pretty easy to pick, others take some strategy, but overall, Mikey, d$, and Burgess are all asking you to vote THEIR Lineup the best of all -- so make sure you cast your vote either in the Discord or on @TheDeucecast on X.com! And at the end of the show, Mikey pays off his annual venture into scary movies, MikeTober, plus a rundown on the streaming status of "Don't Die"
It's the Spooky Season as Mikey, d$, and #XLessDrEarl continue their Halloween themed episodes for the month of October! Make sure you check out our fave witchy movies from a few weeks ago, and next week, our very first Horror Movie Draft... but tonight? Haunted Houses.
And joining us on the show tonight for his first ever Deucecast appearance, friend of the show and church drummer extraordinaire, Jon "Speedy" "Clax" "Little Drummer Boy" "Like Def Lepperd but Both Arms" Claxton! We get to know Speedy Clax's fave genres of films and a little about him overall before diving into the episode.

Its the Witch One, as a matter of fact. See what we did there? First up, random chatter about Joker Flop de Flop (honestly, I'm not looking up whatever that crap is called) and even some Megalopolis convo at some point, then the October Birthday Movies!
Then, digging into our Top Five... the Top Five Witches in Movies.
PIP PIP to all our little cheeky monkey fans! Bloody good time on this episode!
The Deucecast pays a nod to Jolly Ol' England with a list of their favorite Brit films - whether directed by a Brit, movies that take place in a British locale, or perhaps just a British story, Mike, d$, and #XLessDrEarl invite in Friend of the Show and Anglophile himself -- not just Mikey's Uncle, but the show's uncle... Unca Brian make his valiant return.
Along the way, a round of Doug Benson's ABCDeez, then a nod to both Kris Kristofferson and Dame Maggie Smith, two very different legends of the screen and stage, and their passing.

And after a lengthy discussion on the films of Ernest, we dive in to the all time top ten... of course there is some crossover, and a little movement from previous lists to now -- and only a smattering of pretention. You'll hear about Harry Ford and Michael Mann. Some Tom Hanks and Audrey Hepburn. Morgan Freeman and Play It Again Sam... films from 1942 all the way up to 2010.

What good is My Favorite Summer if we can't have explosions, bad guys getting shot, car chases, high kicks to the face and more explosions? Thats why we have the Action Movies!
Mikey, d$, and #XLessDrEarl bring in Friend of the Show Aussie Nate to talk about their favorite top ten all time movies consider action... and maybe a little sci-fi?

Then, a Prime Day update, and Aussie's experience seeing his fave film in the theaters.
Finally, the guys chat about their own personal rankings of action movies, including Axel Foley's adventures, Jason Bourne's identity, Nic Cage out of prison, John McClane in airplanes and skyscrapers, John Wick falling down stairs, Jackie Chan kicking people, Indiana Jones being doomed, and the best portrayal of Wyatt Earp in cinematic history.

The second part of My Favorite Summer brings the drama this week -- as the Deucecast Movie Show crew gives their own list of the serious stories from the world of cinema.
Joining Mikey, d$, and #XLessDrEarl is the co-host of the Good Day 4 a Movie Podcast, Jacob Roth, aka Roth from Wyoming, as they chit-chat and then play a round of a game not played in these here parts in a while -- The Ryan Phillippe Game returns for the first time since 2022.
Then, the Top Ten Fave Dramatic Films... everyone has their own description, as some movies may be more of a dramedy than a drama... or maybe it's listed under drama for one, but will be in another category for another.
Legendary films like The Godfather make a few lists, 90s capers like True Romance is discussed, a tragedy unfolds in one film, a fort is defending in another, and movies from as far back as 1966 are covered, all the way up to last year.
It's finally time for the summer and with it, the summer series at The Deucecast Movie Show! For the fourth... or fifth, who's counting... your fave movie podcast that you, but probably not any of your friends and definitely not most girls you know, are listening to is giving you a theme for the summer, a series of episodes intertwined with a common theme... this time, it's "My Favorite Summer". And for the summer, Dave, Mikey, and #XLessDrEarl will be giving you the top tens of their favorites across movie genres, like comedies, dramas, animation, and more, and tonight, the Classics. And of course, to rank the classics is our fellow cinephile and film snob, the pride of Toccoa Falls, Garrison Ryfun!
First, a little round of Movie Trivia from The Book, and then, diving right in... all of our all time fave films from all the years, from the early days of film up until the cut-off of 1969.
Legendary directors like Wilder, Hitchcock, Fleming, and Lumet... incredible performances from the likes of Cary, Stewart, Bogie, Audrey... and sweeping plantation epics to tiny jury rooms to creepy hotels to pool halls.
It's only a short list of films this time, so obviously it would be a short ReFlicktions show, right? Have you met us? Mike, d$, and #XLessDrEarl are back in studio to give not only a recap of new-to-thee films seen over the last month, but also some recaps of rewatches overall.
The big films like Furiosa and Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes and IF are covered... the Mad Max saga is re-covered... fear that The Fall Guy bomb is a bad sign of things to come, the beauty of 80s Julia Roberts... more Bond... Mikey watches ALL of the X-Films... the first real mention of Reading Rainbow on the show... LaVar Burton talk... and the perfect movie, starring Michael Ironside.

Finally, Mikey, d$, and #XLessDrEarl give the dish, the skinny, the 411 if you will, on many of the upcoming films over the next few months! With Anya Taylor-Joy set to ride the desert while Daisy Ridley swims the ocean, Will Smith Rides or Dies or Slaps, and Glen Powell has his big summer, and Harold Faltermeyer returns, and Dave Bautista goes soft... and Mikey not only Licks the Guest, but he also swoons over Costner... and much more!

To help Mikey, Dave, and #XLessDrEarl celebrate, we invite in first time Friend of the Show, videographer and vlogger and Disney sorta influencer and hardcore Star Wars fiend, THE Derek Frank!
First, a little background on Derek to open the show, followed by the return of America's favorite easy Q&A, Simple Star Wars Trivia (spoiler alert - Mikey always dominates), then a review on the epic re-watch everyone had this weekend over Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace.
And finally, the guys count down their favorite Star Wars fight scenes - not the epic space battles, but one on one or one on five or five on a hundred -- no Star Destroyers, rather blasters and space swords -- and to make the pot even sweeter, the lists cover all the screen media, including TV shows, not just the movies.
And a quick chat on Tom Hanks Playtone movie studio!
After weeks of finishing up 2023, complete with last week's The Deucie Awards, it's finally time to bring in the rundown of all the movies seen in recent weeks (and months)... as Timberlake would sing, "IT'S GONNA BE MAY... ReFlicktions" Dave goes through several classic (and maybe not as classic) films, while Mikey discusses his rankings of how 3.5 on Letterboxd may or not be indicative that he hates the movie. Also, why Daryl Hannah may not be very smart... Dr Earl gets a little pretentious... John Cena bringing it... the early Kendricks film... Earl's Poor Things rant... why Daisy Ridley may not be very good... more Baumbach...
And big movies like The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare, Godzilla x Kong, Civil War, and Challengers.
And Rebel Moon. Yikes.
Plus, assigned films make their return, with the payoff of Pineapple Express, Minari, While We're Young, and Mr. Jealousy

Normally, when you hear "A tradition unlike any other", you think The Masters, as that's the slogan. However, it is a slogan that more closely describes THE DEUCIE AWARDS!! For the 11th time, Dave and Mikey, now joined by #XLessDrEarl, preside over the "people's movie awards"... and the top 10 of the year as well! And to assist, the Deucecast crew invites in many friends of the show, from Burgess to Kaufman to Aussie to the Ryfuns and even more -- with an assist from The Main Street Electrical Podcast co-host Jenn Novotny, it's quite an award-fest!
In addition, Dave, Mikey, and Dr Earl give their own fave films of the year -- you can likely guess the films that make all three lists, but there are a few out of left field as well.
Make sure to catch Ep 621 from a few weeks ago, where we do our "just outside the top ten" list...
Make sure to follow along with the winners!

It's a classic ep this week, as we combine TWO episodes -- Ep 214 and Ep 218, both from March 2016 -- with special guests Clay Shaver and Jeremy Burgess
Both episodes run through our (then) all time top 10 movies, as we were finishing up a series giving our top 100...
Here are the original show notes!
Finally... it's here! Dave, Mikey & Pinky have entered the Top Ten in our year long series of our Top 100 favorite films... and because it's so monumental, the Deucecast Movie Show gang had to bring in two of their favorite dozen or so guests -- Local Birmingham filmmaker Jeremy Burgess and host of the Remodeling Clay podcast Clay Shaver -- to give senseless... er, senseful films.
But first, a rousing game of Chronology, with great categories like "The Mitten"... "Bale-Out"... "Mikey Likey"... and of course, the always loved "Potent Potables". Starting with a reminder of how each of the participants came up with their own Top Ten. Jeremy offers up a John Carpenter masterpiece, talks about his favorite horror films and the movie that "is underrated for being overrated" and possible "date rapey". Pinky falls in love with Anna Kendrick and cancer, talks about a movie fetish and lists the best Rings film... Clay discusses a Vietnam classic, his best Kevin Smith and a quintessential buddy cop film... Dave has more Anna Kendrick meets airport stories, celebrates a sinking ship and an Elton John song... and Mikey feels some heat, feels some Breakfast and has some romance. Some True Romance. Also, Kate Hudson may or may not come on our show, ever... Next, how lowly ranked should "Pulp Fiction" actually be? And... coming soon, a new reality show called... "The Burgeler"?
AND THEN It's been a year in the making, but here it is... five films from Mikey, from Dave, and from Pinky, along with special guests Remodeling Clay Shaver and local filmmaker Jeremy Burgess, who give their five of all time. Jumping right in, with Mikey's #5, the discussions flow on where Diehard 2 stands in the original trilogy... two Gregory Peck films... the delight of "In Bruge"... a double dose of Andy Dufresne... Harrison Ford makes a big splash... when "Pulp Fiction" is too low... a film that millennials should discover... Dave's previous favorite film ever until this one... Thoughts on "Blade Runner 2"... Pinky's weird party going habits... the generation gap between Bale's & Keaton's Batman... how to get ripped off after being paid $4 billion... and who does Jeremy think is kidding when they talk about their favorite film? Plus, tips on creating your own Top 100...
FINALLY... Steve Glosson has COME BACK... to... The Deuuuuuuucecast...
Fresh off a heckuva WrestleMania 40 weekend, Mikey and Dave chat a little bit about their favorite WWE Superst... WWE Wrestlers in movies! And the best way to do that is to bring on someone who appears on a Wrasslin show, the original Geek, Steve Glosson.
First, a mandatory discussion about WM40, which took place a day before recording, with favorite matches, what the WWE did right, the storytelling, maybe a few things we'd change and more.
Then, we dive into our Top 5 movie roles of professional wrestling superstars - both past and present - with the rule being we cannot list anyone more than once.
Getting their due are the usuals like The Rock, Cena, Bautista and more... and a few names out of left field, like Big Daddy Kool... Bam Bam Bigelow... and a former WCW Champion.
Also, random chatter on things like the Superman Death storyline in comics... Civil War in comics and movies... an upcoming documentary passion project from Steve... d$'s 200th episode coming up... and anything else we can think of!
Movies discussed:
- Be Cool
- Body Slam
- The Condemned
- Grown-Ups 2
- Guardians of the Galaxy
- The Iron Claw
- Jumanji
- Major Payne
- The Marine
- No Holds Barred
- The Princess Bride

It's been promised forever, and The Deucecast Movie Show has finally delivered. Pretention reigns on this episode, as d$ is out of town and Mikey is relegated to behind the scenes where no one can hear him whine.
#XLessDrEarl is here and shedding the show of the uncultured swine of a Kevin James fan known as d$ and the Nic Cage apologize called Mikey, bringing in Friend of the Show Jeremy "Miss Independent" Burgess and part time co-host Lil G, Garrison "Pride of Albany" Ryfun to discuss all things pretentious.
First, a little Oscars chat... then a take on Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire... an update on Burgess' film "Don't Die"... streaming services (RIP FilmStruck) to find such pretentious films... and a definition of Pretention from the crew.
They list their five fave pretentious films, including gems from Wim Wenders (pronounced VIM VENDERS by the way) and Malick and Fassbender and much, much more. Grab your smoking jacking, swirl your brandy snifter, and adjust your monocle...
With the release of the latest Ghostbusters movie, "Frozen Empire", we thought it was only fitting that we do something around the very heart of the sequel -- Ghosts!
But it's not Halloween so we decided to talk some Ghost Stories that aren't scary. Friendly ghosts, baseball playing ghosts, Christmas ghosts, Romantic Ghosts and so much more.
And what better way to discuss this topic than to bring in some experts... Brock Parker making his return to the podcast (since June 2021!) and bringing his lovely wife Jessica along, representing the Alabama ghostbusters!
Plus, what the Alabama Ghostbusters are doing now, how to join, and where to find them... and an honest, spoiler free review of "Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire"
Top of the morning to ya, as we like to say (confession, we never say this) as The Deucecast Movie Show celebrates both St Patrick's Day as well as Cillian Murphy's recent Oscar win -- which leads to Mikey, Dave, and #XlessDrEarl all giving the Top Five Irish Performances...
First up, a return to some of the familiar games, including Rotten Tomatoes, a little Potpourri edition this time, as well as random chatter leading up to the Top Five.
The Top Five this week is a discussion about not only best Irish actors and their performances, but those of Irish decent and ties - from a fave young ingenue who everyone loves (and is the only female to win TWO Deucie awards) to a classic star from a few generations ago, and a superstar that everyone knows to some that only have a few under their belt.
And then... the quick revelation of the upcoming Summer Series. We hope it's your favorite, actually.
The Academy Awards are finally completed, which means the Awards Season has but one stop... the Deucie Awards. And to give out the awards, you need the nominations... so tonight, two special guests and Friends of the Show step up to reveal all that you have been wishing for (and you'll find below)
First, though, Mikey, d$, and #XLessDrEarl discuss a little Oscar recap -- what was snubbed, the surprises, the chalk of it all, the good parts and the bad. Then, they take a look at their fave films of the year, and while all of their Top 10s are coming up in a few weeks, along with the actual Deucie Awards, they look just outside the Top 10, at numbers 11 through 15 on their lists. What just missed out on Mikey's Top 10, sitting in that next 5? What made d$'s 11 to 15, that may have made in the other guys top 10s? And what movies are crossovers, appearing on everyone's lists? And then finally... the nominations are out...

The awards season is almost over - we've got a few days until the Academy Awards, and another day or so after until the nominations for the real awards, the Deucies
Until then, it's time to talk about the films that have been viewed, seen, watched, absorbed and enjoyed in the last month or so... and on the heels of the biggest movies the year -- Dune 2 -- its time to talk about it!
First up, a few birthday movies - what did come out in March in 2019, 2014, 1994, 1979 and so on... including the first mention of "Wing Commander" in what is likely a very long time.
Then, we dive right in, showcasing classic movies like "Safety Last" and "Gimme Shelter" and Oscar bait, like "Maestro" and "Strays" and fresh on the screen, like "Spaceman" and yes, the full review of the crapfests known as "Argylle" and "Madame Web".
Plus, Rachel McAdams in a period piece... Dr Earl enjoying the Barb... why Michael hates "May December" so much... and could Carey Mulligan make every single thing she's in just that much better?
And finally, the long lost return of Assigned Films, introducing the "Time Bandits" rule.
Movies assigned:
Dave: Minari and Legal Eagles
Mikey: Mr. Jealousy and Name of the Rose

In a week with d$ out of town, Mikey buying shoes and #XLessDrEarl in surgery, we proudly rebroadcast a special episode from February 28th, 2014, which is the first ever Deucie Awards... broadcast from the old studio, with Producer Shawn working on the flying buttresses, Producer Tommy on controls, Mikey and d$ on the couches, Pinky on the third mic, and Earl on the Annex Couch.
It's Oscar season, and we keep discussing the event leading up to Hollywood's big night (admittedly, The Deucies are Hollywood's REAL Big Night, but they haven't figured it out yet.)
And in an Oscar tradition that none of us are sure we've done before, Mikey and d$ invite in Friend of the Show, Lil G, Pride of Marietta Georgia, Radio Banker Apprentice, Garrison Ryfun to discuss the films of the major Oscar nominees, and which of those you should see... and which you should avoid at all costs.
First, though, Madame Web. All three have seen it. All three have opinions, mostly starting with "Yikes."
Then, the just-announced casting of The MCU version of Fantastic Four -- are Vanessa Kirby, Pedro Pascal, and the other two the right call? Were there better names out there?
Finally... starting at the top with Bradley Cooper, we go through 13 actors and actresses with a larger body of work (as in, no Lily Gladstone!), discussing their films we recommend to watch, and which ones you should probably skip overall, plus a Wild Card choice from each. We talk Greta! Emma! Margot! Ruffalo! Gosling! RDJ! and more. Plus, Mikey's hatred for "La La Land".
It's once again the Day of Love at The Deucecast Movie Show, and that means d$, Mikey, and #XLessDrEarl are joined once again by The Burge himself, Jeremy "Miss Independent" Burgess -- and the Film Four are here to break down the "Coyote vs Acme" drama over at Warner Brothers, and to discuss Jeremy's thoughts on the Oscar nominations. Then, the Top Five Bad Dates in Movies... whether it's weekends away that go horribly awry, nights that fall apart, or even awkward dinners and special events, it's all those times on screen when characters just can't make it click -- from news station anchor love to the Frank or the Beans to speed dating with Seth Rogan to unfortunate run ins at German restaurants and spicy foods. Then, the 7th Annual Burgentine's Day, when the show crew, plus a selected few, assign Valentines themed films for Jeremy's viewing pleasure, including TiMER (Chef Melissa) and Charade (d$) and Say Anything... (Dr Earl) and Paperback Hero (Aussie Nate) to Gross Pointe Blank (Mikey) Plus, stick around for the ending, with lots more random chatter about all of it. Movies discussed tonight, and where to find them at the time of recording: 40 Year Old Virgin (Hulu) Along Came Polly (Peacock Premium) Back to the Future (for rental) Basic Instinct (Amazon Prime; Paramount+; MGM+; Showtime) Batman Forever (TubiTV; MAX) Broadcast News (Starz) Can't Hardly Wait (for rental) Charade (Amazon Prime; TubiTV; FreeVee) Clueless (Paramount+; Showtime) Date Night (MAX) Fargo (MAX) Fast Times at Ridgemont High (for rental) Gross Pointe Blank (for rental) The Fisher King (for rental) Indiana Jones & the Last Crusade (Disney+) The Love Birds (Netflix) Natural Born Killers (MAX) Paperback Hero (unavailable) Pulp Fiction (MAX) Say Anything... (Showtime) Taxi Driver (TubiTV) There's Something About Mary (STARZ) TiMER (unavailable)
While Mikey and d$ looked ahead to the movies to come for 2024 in last week's auction ep (thanks to Roth from Wyoming and Lil G, aka The Spawn of Ryfun, aka the Pride of Columbus, Garrizzle Ryfizzle for joining us), this week... we take a look at the past.
It's Hollywood Lore that the Best Picture nominee list went from 5 to anywhere from 7 to 10 after "The Dark Knight" was denied the honor in 2008's list (hence, 2009's list of 10 films!), but we wondered what would happen if they kept it at 5 films only...
Meaning, in some years, the list needed to be culled by a couple of films... in others, as many as 5 had to be cut. It's a great discussion on movies loved and not-so-loved, movies worthy and therefore argued over, and movies passed over quickly, lucky to have been mentioned at all.
List of Best Picture nominees each year from 2009 to current - first nominee listed was the Best Picture winner from the year, aside from 2024's list. Beginning in 2013, movies with an * denotes Deucie Winner for Best Picture in that year.

It's that time of the year, when the annual Movie Auction takes place... and by "the annual", we mean the very first one we've ever done.
In a concept borrowed from The Big Picture Podcast (all nods and love to Amanda Dobbins, Chris Ryan, and Sean Fennessey), Mikey and d$ are joined by Friends of the Show Garrison "Pride of Kennesaw" Ryfun and making his 2nd straight appearance, Roth from Wyoming to fill out their roster of films for 2024.
Everyone has a proverbial $1000 to work with, as various movies are put on the auction block and bid for - with the intentions of getting the movies that will make the most money domestically, as well as will get both Oscar and Golden Globe love in the fall of '24 and early 2025.
The big ones are all hear -- Deadpool 3, Furiosa, Inside Out 2, and Despicable Me 4 included -- plus some surprises, like a Smile sequel, a Sonic sequel, an Apes sequel, and an odd film picked out by Roth himself.
A Rotten Tomatoes game determines the draft order, and the chatter hits on everything from TayTay in the NFL and who Agent Argylle might actually be and more nonsense as per usual.
The review of 2023 films are in full swing, but first there is the annual look back at the movies seen last year that were NOT FROM last year. Its the Not 2023 Top Ten, where we highlight films worthy of a second discussion because they just impacted us so much.
Dave, Mikey, and #TwitterlessDrEarl welcome in Friend of the Show, streaming live from the booming metropolis somewhere in Bainbridge, Wyoming, that is one Jacob "Roth from Wyoming."
Together, the foursome discuss their top ten faves of the year from all over the place, as far back as the early 50s to all the way through the 60s and 70s and in the 00s -- The greatness of Chucky Heston before he told us "YOUR MOVE, IMPERATOR..." Rated R Hockey... hot Atlanta Olympic Bombing chatter... Martin McDonough gets lots of love... the mastery of Hitchcock (and the documentary you should see)... why Mel Gibson is so good at directing... why Tom Hanks doesn't direct much... and never go in the back of a fast food restaurant...
And much more in this good time of an episode...

Each year, there are the movies that perhaps are not on Mikey's, Dave's, or #XLessDrEarl's top fives or top tens, but they are still movies that surprised everyone... and delighted everyone... unexpected pleasant moviegoing experiences if you will.
And we give our top five in this category in our annual Surprise & Delights episode... and like always, Friend of the Show, Miss Independent himself, Jeremy Burgess joins to give his fave underrated and unexpected performances as well.
First up, some chatter about movies that should be nominated for Best Picture, and a look at d$'s Christmas Gift to Burgess, the David Cronenburg film "Videodrome".
Then, the top five Surprise & Delights of the year, including Sydney Sweeney facing Reality... much love for a Sophia Coppola joint... several name drops for Jerry Butler... the differences in the movie and the 3 part series "Blackberry" on AppleTV... the year in horror... and much more.
Finally, the 2024 Burgentine's Day commences, as assignments are given from the likes of Aussie Nate... Melissa R... and the trio on the Deucecast.

The new year has begun, winter is crashing around us, and it's time to reflect on what made our moviedom in the last year... and for the second time, we ask, Who Won the Year?
While #XLessDrEarl is unavailable, yachting off the coast of Madagascar, filling in is the Pride of Stone Mountain Georgia, Young G Ryfun... after a little catch-up, including whether Garrison is getting too old to stay up for New Year's at midnight, they dive into for a few losers first.
Before the winners, who actually lost? DCU? MCU? Disney animation? Pixar? Indiana Jones?
Then, the winners of 2023... Barbenheimer... former wrestlers... Emma Stone... FAST Films... Japanese Kaiju... and one goddess who shows up again.
And... what we really think about Rachel Zeigler and the new Snow White adaptation.
Like the Daytona 500, it's a tradition unlike any other. A look back at the films this year that just made our heads spin in circles about why they are just so not good.
Out of the dozens of films The Deucecast Movie Show loved, out of the hundreds of movies the Deucecast Movie Show liked... there are a handful of movies -- or in #TwitterlessDrEarl's case, tropes, patterns, directors and the like -- that just didn't land... or maybe landed with a crash and burn in a bad way.
First up, a quick spoiler-free review of the latest, and possibly final film in this current DCU series -- "Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom". Some honest takes on what worked (a few things) and what didn't (a lot of things).
Then, the top (bottom) movies of the year for Mikey, d$, and #XLessDrEarl... the movies that made all of them cringe, throw popcorn, get upset at how bad they are, or even disappointed at how good they were supposed to be.
The last episode of the year!!

It's a Marshmallow Deucecast indeed as the Cheetah Girls finally make their annual appearance on the show!
It's the last stop before Christmas Day, with the 9th Annual Christmas Gift episode -- and the fourth Gifts ep in a row with Garrison "The Pride of Villa Rica" Ryfun joining up!
In this episode, the final 2023 Birthday Movies kicks the show off, with Aquaman turning 5, LOTR3 turning 20, Tombstone turning 30, and Chitty Chitty Bang Bang turning a lot older than you'd think.
After catching up with Mikey's and Garrison's 2023 movie numbers, it's another edition of Everything Everywhere All At Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, following the first ever round last summer.
Then the gifts -- Gal Gadot needs a break... WWE gets a multiverse... some films and filmmakers get better coverage... and the world gets more Whit Stillman... and much more.
Finally, Mikey hands out tangible gift bags, while d$ and G-Ryfun hand out their own gifts, with a stop in the pretentious corner (sort of) and returning to the well for a few films.
Stick around to the very end... it's a delight.
So this is Christmas, and what have we podded? A lot, actually. Our tradition trio of final episodes that close out each year begin today, with Garrison joining us for our annual Christmas Gift giveaway, and a look at the worst films we've seen this year, in our Lumps of Coal ep, but first, Friend of the Show Jennifer Kaufman joins us for her 6th Christmas spectacular -- she's a tradition unlike any other.
First, they play catch-up with Kaufman, then play a little came of Christmas Chronology.

In this ep, a triple shot of King right off the bat... homicidal stuffed animals... drug films... my pony (ride it, ride it, my pony)... bad, bad King... yelling comics... whining Bill Burr... Ridley Scott's French history... hold over movies... the latest hunger games... lip syncing docs... Australian mystery docs... and Lady Ballers. Up next...

It's our annual episode of giving thanks, in a DeuceGiving style! This is the episode where Mikey, Dave, and #TwitterlessDrEarl gives their thanks!
Here, we give thanks for actors that took a year off... directors who were on their game... film festivals... innovative stories... Christmas gore... and a certain movie duo that took the world by storm this summer.
And the biggest thanks to YOU, for listening, downloading, and subscribing!!
With David Fincher releasing a new (and super good) film this week, "The Killer", the Deucecast thought it would be a great time to pay homage to one of our country's greatest living directors - Christophe Nolan. (We aren't sure everyone had time to see Fincher's latest, so we swerved) And what better way than to call up our friend of the show, the Podawan himself, The Pride of Smyrna, Georgia, young Garrison Ryfun! First, a little round of WORD UP!, where the guys fill in the blanks on the most important topics of the day -- the failure of The Marvels, the success of Five Nights at Freddys and what to think about TayTay's concert film.
Also, does #XlessDrEarl really want to see "It's a Wonderful Knife?"
And then, the guys do a ranking of their top 10 (out of the 12) theatrical releases of Chris Nolan movies... from the most well known -- Inception, Interstellar, Dunkrik -- to the less known -- Following -- to the forgotten gems -- The Prestige, Insomnia -- and of course, Big Oppy.
The holiday season is here, and we are one week out from our annual DeuceGiving episode, which kicks off two months of annual eps - from Christmas gifts to Kaufman's yearly seasonal offerings to Top Tens of Not the Year to Lumps of Coal and much more.
But that's later.
Two years ago, we talked best November movies of the 2000s (episode 505). Last year, we took it back a decade and did the best of the 90s (episode 558), and this time around, the 1980s take center stage, as Mikey, d$, and special guest, "The Rocket Man" Uncle Brian, gives their fave films released in any year of the 80s, but only within the month of November.
First up, Uncle Brian reveals one of his hobbies -- the first time in 604 eps that Blinko has ever been discussed. Then, a miserable, total failure round of Box Office Mojo -- no seriously, the performance is awful and must be acknowledged as such.
Then, the Top Five 80s November films -- a little Trek... some Bugs... Charlie Sheen and a weird car... Chuck Norris rescues POWs... M'Lynn is wearing a brown football helmet... ending the Cold War... and a somewhat real discussion on the career and films of one Deucecast legend, Jim Varney, aka, "Ernest".

It's an annual tradition around this time, not only to celebrate Halloween with a little spooky movie talk, but also to give the fans what they want - the results of the 9th annual MikeTober Event. It's not as big as the Lilith Fair, but bigger than Toyotathon ever hoped to be -- its Mikey watching five scary movies and ranking them from least to best.
But first, Mikey, d$, and #XlessDrEarl welcome in Friend of the Show, Miss Independent himself, Jeremy Burgess, as Burgess catches everyone up on the latest with his film "Don't Die" as well as giving a few film recommendations that you may have not heard of.
A little entertainment tonight, October B'day movies rolls in, including "Venom", "Never Say Never Again", "Kill Bill Vol 1" and even "Lassie Come Home", all celebrating birthdays in October.
Finally, the Stephen King Countdown. All the guys give their top five fave King adaptations, some horror, some sci-fi, some just great films... and some not so great. We hope you get your own list of films to see! And then MikeTober pays off, as he gives his take on "The Decent" (d$'s pick)... "The Wailing" (Garrison)... "Cat People" (Burgess)... "The Wicker Man" (Dr. Earl)... "His House" (Roth from Wyoming)... "
"You downloading me? You listenin' to me?!" That's right, it might sound like a DeNiro themed episode, but we actually turn our attention the legend behind the camera, one Martin Scorsese, as Dave, Mikey, and #XLessDrEarl discuss and rank some of their fave Marty films. First, a quick catch up, then a spoiler free review of the latest, "Killers of the Flower Moon", then the return of the Rotten Tomatoes game, this time with a little Scorsese Potpourri.
Then, the guys rank and discuss each of their fave Top 5 Scorsese directed films, with the full knowledge there a ton of them they haven't seen. Nonetheless, it still makes for a great conversation, as they discuss thoughts on "Goodfellas", on "Color of Money" (and Mary Elisabeth Mastrantonio, of course), on "Taxi Driver" and a ton more. Then, once the credits role, Steve signs off, and Casey counts 'em down, a special aftershow, spoiler filled review of "Killers of the Flower Moon"... chatting about the cast, the cinematography, the music, some Easter Eggs, how Lily Gladstone matched up with DeNiro and Leo, and the film's Oscar -- and Deucie -- chances.

And moving on begins immediately with a new ReFlicktions show! Since there hasn't been one of these since August, there is a lot to say!
We double up on Jason Statham, dive deep into Jewish teen angst on Netflix, talk about films from Deucie nominated Friend of the Show Burgess, give you the good (Mia Goth!) and the bad (No more Vacation Friends!) and the obscure (who is Flora?)

From Episode 291 to Episode 599, 36 movie roles were chosen and now will face off one on one... a majority vote rules, as the crew goes through the match ups one at at time.
But what fun is a Movie Role Bracket if there aren't more Friends of the Show joining up?

As Mikey, d$, and #XLessDrEarl get set for Episode 600, the Deucecast Movie Show is releasing a series of "milestone" episodes, including the first ReFlicktions ep (#130) last week, and this week, Episode 300.
Aside from the RetroZap Podcasting Network bumper being taken off the front, and the stinger added to the end, the episode itself is here in it's entirety, as it was released on October 25th, 2017.
Here are the original notes (and the original post):
After many years and many late nights, Mikey, Pinky and Dave ring in the 300th episode of The Deucecast Movie Show. First, the guys say hello to Producer Shawn and Lady Pinky (and then bye, as they leave quickly), and invite in Friend of the Show Wit Stillman Fan, Film Historian, Terrance Malick Apologist, Brie Fan (Allison, Larsen & Cheese) and World Renowned Proctimologist Dr Earl... And then, the Cavalcade of Stars begins! Shazbazzar, co-host of the TechnoRetro Dads podcast, joins the crew with some of his favorite films, including the original animated Lord of the Rings film, WarGames and the dangerous, unaccountable teenagers from the 1980s. Plus, the first ever mention of "Rock & Rule". When Remodeling Clay finally gets on the line, the gang plays an old school game of "Reel or Unreel", aka, "Faux or Show". Plus an update on Clay's favorite films and a few documentary recommendations that we all have to see. The Retrozap dot com Podcasting Network Podfather Retro Joe then comes on to discuss some of his favorite films, including Army of Darkness, Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure, and Ghostbusters. Plus a discussion on Patriots Day, which took place around Joe's neck of the woods. And with Retro Joe, a great round of Box Office Mojo on "Third Films in a Series". To wrap up the Cavalcade of Stars, Jennifer Kaufman brings up some of her favorites she's seen this year, with Spotlight, A Fish Called Wanda and more. Pinky then riffs on an assigned film, "Audition", one of those "Most disturbing movies ever made!" More crap on Superman III and then, a throwback to an early sponsor of the show, Real Men of Genius. To you, the listener and film fan, thanks so much for downloading, listening, and being a fan!

It took over 12 years to get here, but here we are. Dave, Mikey, and #XLessDrEarl are at the penultimate episode of an episode that feels bigger than 500. A hundred eps bigger, as a matter of fact...
This is Episode 599.
As the Big Bracket finally takes shape, there are 27 movie roles that will vie for the title of "Most Iconic Movie Role of All Time" -- from Indiana Jones to Sally Albright to Derek Zoolander to James Bond and more... but we don't need 27. We need 36.
And to fill the final 9 roles, we've asked a podcasting legend, the one, the only Geek Out Loud's Steve Glosson to join the show and discuss.
With over 40 iconic movie roles in play, most will be eliminated outright, as round by round, more and more famous legendary names are dispensed, tossed aside like Mikey tosses aside Star Wars now...
Ethan Hunt gets a final shot... Harry Potter hopes to work some magic... Lord of the Rings has several nominees... Keanu Reeves has two up for debate... familiar names, previous losers like Carl Spackler, Freddy Krueger, and Kermit the Frog try once more.
And at the end of the episode, only 9 remain. The Final 9.
As the summer comes to a close, so does 2023 edition, and the final edition of #FanBoySummer this year (and possibly for a while), Dave, Mikey, and #XLessDrEarl welcome back one of the show faves -- Straight Outta Iowa, it's Aussie Nate!
First, a quick catch-up on Nate, then a rousing round of Denzel... where #XLessDrEarl goes straight for the jugular in his ruthless ambition to win.
Then, Aussie Nate instructs the group on the topic for the day. Something something about recasting the main Avengers - Tony Stark, Cap, Nat, Hawkeye, Thor, and Hulk - and doing it per decade but keeping one of the originals that doesn't count for the 2000s but then in order so like the 90s first then the 80s then back to the 2000s and whatever.
As you'll hear, Mikey screwed up all the instructions. Either way, it makes for a delightful conversation, one that ends with quick chatter on the Star Wars Holiday Special screening from the weekend, mad props to Friend of the Show Burgeydoodle for his big win, and much more random conversation.
One week remains in the 2nd annual #FanBoySummer, and we'll take that week next go 'round with our friend Aussie Nate... but until then, we have to talk about the movies... nay, ReFlicked upon the movies we've seen in the last few weeks.
Dave, Mikey, and #XLessDrEarl jump right in with Mikey discussing a handful of older films from Pacino and Hoffman... Nic Cage's upcoming awesome crap... and his new-to-him laserdisc collection... #XLessDrEarl is full of pretention this episode, with French Freedom films... movies straight out of ISIS... and some Malick inspiration... and d$ laments about how badly Gal Gadot's non-super hero career is going... a TriviaHD documentary... and another Amy Adams flick crossed off the list.
And of course, all the latest, including a solid liking for Blue Beetle... praise for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem... some Haunted Mansion darkness... and much more, of course...

After that, you can tune into this little ditty, as The Deucecast Movie Show's own Mikey and d$, sans #TwitterlessDrEarl this time, invite in first time guest (and first time podcaster!) Coach DiBello all the way down from Miami, Florida!
Tonight is all about some Saturday Night Live, and the actors who started and shined as Not Ready For Primetime Players.
First up, a chit-chat on who Coach is, and how he found the show itself... CTI must return!
Then, an SNL Draft... who would be in a dream cast! Make sure to listen and comment on Twitter, or X, or TheDeuceCord about who's lineup is the absolute best!
Finally, top five SNL performers... of course, Mikey told d$ it was who got their start... for Mikey and Coach, it's who shined the most. So the lists are varied, but the names are huge - Murphy... Aykroyd... Murray... Radner... Sandler... Zweibel? Him too.
Also... a lot of hot Hurricane Rhett talk, so Rhett fans, tune in.

It's always an honor and a pleasure to welcome back one of our absolute favorites and a spot of true class on our little show... and since Jenn Novotny was not available, we called upon our beloved Jennifer Kaufman as this week's #FanboySummer ~~winner~~ ~~loser~~ participant! (we kid, we kid... we love Kaufman)
First up, lots of birthday movies from the previous 5, 10, 20 and so on years -- including the original The Meg's 5th birthday, 2 Guns 10th birthday, The Fugitive's 30th birthday, and more.
Then, a round of Reel or Unreal, as the crew tries to guess the names of really bad films few people have heard of.
Finally, a great look at the year in film 1988. Kaufman gives her reasons for picking this topic, and everyone gives their favorite films from that year including vintage Eddie Murphy... all the actors who were up for the legendary role Bob Hoskins got... the sad tale of "Yep Yep Yep"... a shout out to Garrison's fave film... Seagal, Ernest, and Chevy all get love from Mikey... and Dr Earl gets pretentious, of course.

With episode 600 looming, the Big Bracket is getting full... and Dave, Mikey, and #TwitterlessDrEarl welcome back Friend of the Show Clay Shaver, and he brings a special tournament for the crew to push through.
This time around, to determine which role will join the greats like Prince Akeem, Castor Troy, Indiana Jones, Anna Scott, and not Ethan Hunt, this time, there are 16 "DAVE" or "DAVIDs" from the movies, and 16 "MIKE", "MIKEY", or "MICHAELs to vote on.
Plus, the guys catch up with the latest with Clay in the Mitt of Michigan, his thoughts on the "Barbie" phenomenon, and lots of talk about Robert Romanus. Lots of talk. And even some Boner Stabone.
You just gotta listen.
And then, Dave pays off the 1st annual Dave'Stalgia, with older films assigned by friends of the show like Burgeydoodle, Roth from Wyoming, Lil G, from hosts Mikey and #TwitterlessDrEarl and a last minute addition from Clay himself.
Super long episode title befits a super long episode, and Mikey, d$, and #TwitterlessDrEarl have an awful lot to go over... it's July 2023 ReFlicktions and the meat of the summer blockbusters fall into this episode.
First up, Dave kicks it off with the first of two Katie Heigl movies as he begins to finish a quest that no one should really ever want to do. #TwitterlessDrEarl does hit the Pretentious Corner once or twice, as Mikey dives into the Cannon Films schlock of bad Chuck Norris and the classic film of good Jack Lemmon.
Both old movies and new are celebrated, and of course, the biggest of the summer - Asteroid City, Indy 5, Oppenheimer, Barbie, and MI Dead Recks P-1 all are covered here, as well as the guys' new Top 5.
And the guys even touch on some of the controversy of the Barbie film and it's themes and possible agenda...

Lots to get to on this show, including catching up with Roth and his latest ventures... then some birthday movies, including the incredible news that Seabiscuit is 20 years old!
A brand new game -- Everything Everywhere All At Once Upon a Time in Hollywood -- makes its debut on the show, as the crew pairs up movie titles for points.
Finally, Mikey, d$, #TwitterlessDrEarl, and Roth give their favorite 1-2-3 Punch for actors... that is, which actors had the best back to back to back hit films, from double doses of Harry Ford to tripling up on our fave Katie Holmes ex... which leads to Mikey's own theme for the episode, in memory of Garrison Ryfun, of course.
Stick around throughout the episode to hear about Roth's charitable work with RISE Foundation of Wyoming and how you can help!
(Way too many movies to list their streaming sources - you can do your work this week)
It's the week that "Mission: Impossible Dead Reckoning Part One: Across the Ghost Nationverse" opens (already d$'s fave films of 2023), and what better way to celebrate this landmark film occasion than to talk about fave stunts in movies.

First up, a quick, non-spoiler preview review of the aforementioned MI flick, from Garrison, who is out from under his review embargo (apparently he saw it at Wal-Mart? Dunno), then a round of Rotten Tomatoes, Jackie Chan style.
Then, diving into the Top Five, the crew give their favorite practical stunts in movies, including pole fighters, plane droppers, backwards movers, sword fighters, hose swingers, Trans-Am jumpers, rapids swimmers, chariot racers, rain dancers, Bond cyclers, and EVEN MORE!

This time around, Mikey, d$, and #TwitterlessDrEarl catch up with Matt and his latest on both of his podcasts -- The Soundtrack of Life and Man-Child Movie Night -- before Matt leads the show into the 27th Big Bracket tourney... this time, to find the greatest movie role from the BMF himself, Samuel L. Jackson.
From Matt's least favorite Tarantino film to the version of "H8ful Eight" that everyone should see to #TwitterlessDrEarl putting "The 51st State" on his to-be-watched list to Dave pimping for Carl Lee Hailey to Mikey trying to explain the Shaft mythology... 32 roles go in, only one can be a Bad M-F'er and advance.

~~Once again, #FanboySummer moves by quickly, as this week, another~~ ~~loser~~ ~~winner~~ contributor joins the show, this time for best "Conceptual Sci-Fi". What does that even mean? We have no idea, but who cares... as per usual, we go with it and have a fantastic time doing so.
Joining the show is the Rocket Man himself, Uncle Brian E, as he, Mikey, d$, and #TwitterlessDrEarl play a little round of ABCDeez, borrowing from fellow podcaster Doug Benson, as we use letters from a movie phrase to call out movie titles, figure out the theme and try to match up. Then, a series of categories, from "robots" to "time travel" to "realistic" and more, calling out movies in many of those categories, plus all the discussion that go with it. And Mikey met up with Glosson to see Petra. Not Pantera. Films discussed tonight: Films for rental only: Alien Nation... Another Earth... Blade Runner... Close Encounters of the Third Kind... Contact... HER... Logan's Run... The Martian... Moon... Predestination... Primer... Serenity... Tenet... THX 1138...

Along the way, more Scott Adkins... Dr. Earl goes French... more live action Disney... more animated Pixar... more The Flash chat... a movie about the Chevy Cavalier or something... why The Son does not follow The Father... d$ with more Bond... Dr Earl with even more Bond... Thor shoots a bunch of people... robots transform into animals... Sydney Sweeney tries, and fails, to be unattractive... and Spidey reigns supreme...
And who can say they've seen "The Double O Kid"?

Her topic of choice for Dave, Mikey, and #TwitterlessDrEarl is to recast... recast what, you ask? Dealer's choice. Find a major role, put someone else there and see if it fits. First up, the Birthday Movies, as we come to grips with the fact Ocean's 8 is five years old, Black Dog is 25 years old, The Great Outdoors is 35 years old and even more. Then a new twist on an old game, Simple Summer Trivia, as all indication points to another big win for Mikey, who usually dominates in this game. And finally, what happens if River Phoenix becomes Han Solo? And Harrison Ford plays Sam Spade? We get a rundown of Hilary Swank's career post Oscar, and what manic personality should have played Genie in 2019's Aladdin remake? After two weeks of First Timers in both FanBoySummer and on the show totally, it was time to bring a veteran to guest star -- as in, one time last summer (Ep 539) but now, the host of the Food for Thought Podcast, Melissa Reagan is here! Some recasting roles at the time the actors were hot, and some recasting by taking modern actors and placing them into classic films - all makes for a good discussion. And finally, somewhere d$ can drivel about his Snape complaints. Plus a bonus convo, with some real life "almost happened" roles from certain actors, including an unlikely pair that was considered for La La Land, a total near disaster for Forrest Gump, who could beat Viggo as Aragorn, and what if... just what if ScarJo wasn't the right person for Black Widow...
It's the 2nd week of FanboySummer and Mikey, d$, and #TwitterlessDrEarl invite in long time listener, first time on the show, host of the Harmanny Music Education Podcast the one and only Mr. Craig Holland... er, Harmann!
After a little chit-chat, finding out about the podcast itself, the group plays the Soundtrack Sales game (boring title, exciting action) and #TwitterlessDrEarl likely never full understands it.
Then, the guys give their favorite Top Five Movie soundtracks, each with their own stories and thoughts, from movies seen at Panama City Beach to lifelong friendships made in defunct movie theaters to pining for girls who never pined back to a love for Rowlf the Dogg.
Also... Kenny Loggins soundtrack songs... Dr Earl talks about "Footin"... matching Jewel with Batman... and Mikey gets verklempt...
Plus the real truth about NRG and the band Kick Axe

As the Big Bracket draws near, with Episode 600 a mere 17 episodes and a summer season away, it's time to crank up the entries... and what better way to bring in a plethora, a cornucopia, a tundra if you will of iconic roles, than to have a Mega Tourney with over 60 famous and beloved characters from cinema and film and movie flicker shows...
But to do something so big, we have to have a big roster of Friends of the Show... Spawn of Ryfun, Lil G, Garrison.... the father of the Spawn of Ryfun, that being Scotty RyRy... and the pride of The Beaches of Cheyenne, Roth from Wyoming.
Together with d$, Mikey, and #TwitterlessDrEarl, they dive in to figure out the battles between View Askew and Aurora, Illinois... between dimwits and stoners... between classic duos both odd and slapsticky...
And Garrison makes a surprise turn in his quest to see Ethan Hunt win the whole tourney. A betrayal if you will. And who knew these guys loved Twilight so much?
Featured in the tournament: Harry & Lloyd Ricky Bobby & Cal Jay & Silent Bob Wayne & Garth Harold & Kumar Bill & Ted Romy & Michelle Tai, Dionne, and Cher Jules & Vincent Thelma & Louise Johnny Utah & Bohdi Lone Star & Dark Helmet Ethan & Luther Goose & Maverick Tango & Cash Murtaugh & Riggs Frodo & Samwise Legolas & Gimli Jack & Rose Johnny & Baby Forrest & Bubba Rocky & Apollo Qui Gon & Darth Maul Neo & Morpheus Marty & Doc Jake & Elwood Abbott & Costello Oscar & Felix Andy & Red Tyler & Narrator Dom & Brian Edward & Jacob
It's the end of an era in the MCU, as Guardians of the Galaxy Volume 3 has just hit theaters - and it's the last hurrah of the Marvel Cinematic Universe group of characters that link audiences to the Infinity Saga... sure, some heroes will carry over, but it does feel like we are saying good-bye to the MCU as we know it. But what kind of ending is it, and how does it stack up against the rest of the MCU films released since Avengers: Endgame? That's what the Deucecast crew aims to find out -- with Mikey, Dave, and #TwitterlessDrEarl on the show, and Young Spawn of Ryfun, the Pride of Albany, GA, Lil G, but now he's a Big G, fresh off of his prom and headed to Senior Portraits, Garrison Ryfun joins the show to discuss and rank in their own top tens those very films. Starting with Spider-Man Far From Home, then to Black Widow, where the show picks up another guest, one Steve Glosson, who comes in to present his own list. Then the Shang-Chi, Eternals, Spider-Man No Way Home, then Doctor Strange & the Multiverse of Madness, with Thor Love & Thunder, Black Panther Wakanda Forever, then Ant-Man and the Wasp Quantumania, and ending with Guardians 3, it's a long discussion, but a worthwhile one. Plus, everyone but Steve (who questions as to whether he's seen it or not) also give their own quick review on Guardians 3 (SPOILER FREE, by the way). And stick around for the ending, which goes off the rails as usual, from who gets invited to the show, Mikey's dismissal of Scotty Ryfun's concerns, Punisher movies, TMNT movies, Cannonball Run Criterion Collections and so much more. And of course, Casey's Biggest Hits.
In a special edition of The Deucecast Movie Show, pulled from the weekly Deucecast Xtra, an all star panel convenes to discuss the state of the Star Wars franchise -- where it was, where it is, and where it's going.
Joining the show tonight, the co-host of Good Day 4 a Movie Podcast, Roth From Wyoming... Pride of Kennesaw, Young G Ryfun... the destroyer of asinine conversation, Hurricane Rhett... and Podcast Poobah of the Geek Out Loudoverse, Steve Glosson. Joining up later, Dave pipes in for a few at the end.
The crew covers everything from the good and the bad, the return of Return of the Jedi, a little Transformers news, some Harry Potter stuff, and Garrison gives his surprising take on Bill Cosby.
Also available on YouTube!
Spring has Sprung, and the summer movie season is ever so close... but first, Mikey, Dave, and #TwitterlessDrEarl must get through the April movie slate!

Sometimes the topics come to the guys easy, especially when they fit around the guest so perfectly -- hence, we finally discuss our Top Five Fave Movie Coaches, as we bring on a returning fave and now a head coach in his own right, Clay Shaver! Clay lets everyone know where he's been, and how he's now a high school basketball coach. Then, some birthday movies, letting the world know exactly how old movies like Scream 2, Cop & a Half, and Soylent Green are... and of course, Ladybugs. RIP Jonathan Brandis. A rousing game of Denzel is up next, with a surprise winner in dominating fashion. Then, the Top Five Movie Coaches -- naturally you'd think football, or just even any sport, but leave it to dear ol' Mikey to make it weird. Plus, great discussions on this generation's "Caddyshack"... Tom Hanks being a great drunk... Gene Hackman and Jack Nicholson are old... and what might be the best bowling movie not named The Big Lebowski... Plus Coach Shaver let's the audience know why "Lady" is not appreciated.
It's that time of the year, with the Academy Awards as the prelude -- its the official People's Awards for the year 2022 in film... The Deucie Awards.

Big plans ahead for the summer at The Deucecast Movie Show, so in an effort to continue the quest to find the greatest roles of all time... it's another Big Bracket Tourney.
This time, friend of the show Roth from Wyoming stops by with his own bracket, featuring two of his fave movie genres... on one side, the classic and modern westerns of the age, featuring the classic and modern roles in the tournament... Butch Cassidy, the Sundance Kid, Will Kane, Bill Mumy, The Man with No Name, Doc Holliday, all of the Wyatt Earps (the good one and the Costner one) and more.
On the other side, the classic and modern musical roles of the age -- Maria Von Trapp, Lil Orphan Annie (in a heated battle, by the way), Dorothy, Willy Wonka and more, many of which lead to a true "what makes a musical?" discussion.
And Mary Poppins gets her final shot at Big Bracket glory.

It's Springtime and it's movie time, and its ReFlicktions time! Once a month the guys come together to discuss... or "ReFlick'ed" if you will... the movies they've seen in the last several weeks. Mikey, Dave, and #TwitterlessDrEarl each have a handful of films both in theaters ("65!") and streaming ("Pit Fighter"!) and new ("Creed III"!) and old ("Bad Influence"!) and even another Bond in d$'s ongoing Bond Watch.
But sometimes, you need an extra voice to add to the conversation, so we welcome back to the show, Steve "The Voice" Glosson!

As the Oscar season finally closes, the Deucecast trio - Mikey, d$, #TwitterlessDrEarl - pulls in one more Oscar topic: Best Pictures!
But not any Best Pictures... nay, says the horse, oh Neigh! We discard the Best Picture winners (because seriously, we are tired of talking about how crappy Griding Nemo) and go straight for the Nominees!
First up, Birthday movies return, including the birthdays of The Dude... Tom Selleck going to China... Amy Adams daily living... and how terrible movies are in March - oh, and Templeton. The rat.
Then, a quick round of Razzie Award themed Rotten Tomatoes (including a dominant performance that actually was on the up n up. by the way), and finally, the guys scan the scope of the 2000s and look at all the non-winning Best Picture nominees, and give their faves!
Plus, keep listening for a quick review of ScreaVI and other frivolity.
What better way to follow up one heck of a Oscar role tournament than to do one more, this time with Supporting Actors and Supporting Actresses... and as you'll find out, with not quite enough to fill the bracket, a little creativity was used...
Either way, where else can you get the likes of Maria Von Trapp going up against The Graduate's Mrs Robinson or Rita Moreno taking on Marisa Tomei in an epic legendary role battle. Only at the Deucecast Movie Show, that's right.
And to do take on such a task, Mikey, Dave, and #TwitterlessDrEarl have to bring in a little help - that comes in the shape of Roth from Wyoming, host of the Good Day 4 a Movie Podcast... and then another little surprise joins in to break the ties and give a Commodus style thumbs up or thumbs down.
In the midst of the Oscar season, the SAG Awards, the PGA Awards, the BAFTAs, the Blockbuster Entertainment Awards, and of course, The Deucies, we mustn't lose sight of the fact that we are still filling the Big Bracket with names and memorable, ICONIC, movie roles -- so what better way to merge the award season into the Big Bracket with an Oscar Winner Tourney.
And to help decide this all important winner -- Lil G, the Spawn of Scotty Ryfun, joins Mike and d$ while #TwitterlessDrEarl is on assignment in Nova Scotia.
Sixteen Oscar winning actresses -- only roles that won the golden statue, not just nominated, because if you're not first, you're last -- on one side, and 16 Oscar winning actors on the other.
Tonight's ep involves some incredible actresses -- Emma Stone and Jessica Chastain hope that being recent winners will cement their own legacy in the voters eyes, while Hollywood royalty like Vivian Leigh and Audrey Hepburn hope that multiple generations of stardom will put them through. Gregory Peck's Atticus Finch strides through the courtroom of Bracket Opinion, while Daniel Plainview drinks your Big Bracket Milkshake.
Some actresses appear twice, some movies get multiple shots at glory, and for some roles, this might be their only chance to move forward.
And who knew that Mikey hated Gladiator so doggone much?
The award season has almost hit it's peak, but of course, the Oscars are only the penultimate ceremony in recognizing the year's best in film -- there is the Deucie Awards... the 10th annual Deucies, as a matter of fact!
And to give those out, we must first announce who is in the running -- so tonight, you'll get those nominations revealed to you!
And of course, it's the ReFlicktions ep, where Mikey, Dave, and #TwitterlessDrEarl reflickt on the films they've seen... the old films (when man is the most dangerous prey... in the 30s) to the new (its Quantumania time!) and all in between.
While Dave and #TwitterlessDrEarl are looking in years previous to find the movies watch, Mikey draws a line in the sand and refused to talk much about anything not 2023 because... because Mikey. Here it all for yourself as we talk about:

It's the annual Valentine's Day celebration, and in typical Deucecast Fashion, we're doing it the day after, when everything is on sale.
Mikey, Dave, and #TwitterlessDrEarl have given you fine people our fave Character Crushes (Ep 519) and fave Toxic Couples (Ep 468) and fave RomCom Chick Flick Guilty Pleasures (Ep 365) and fave Character Chemistry (Ep 263) and fave Period Pieces (Ep 211) and fave RomComs (Ep 158) and now, the guys take a gander at Top Five Fave Romantic Action movies... great date flicks full of chases and guns and explosions and True Romances!
But first -- the guys take a look at a few of the actresses nominated for Best Actress and Best Supporting Actress, in a round of Love / Like / Hate / Hate-Like. Then... some Classic Bogie and Baby Drivers and Terminators and flying Harrier Jets and recent blockbusters and old school Robin Hoods and much more. Finally, The Burgeler himself, Jeremy Burgess joins the show for a segment to not only rank Burgentine's Day 2023, but also to give his own quick Top Five Romantic Action flicks. And stick around for the stinger, with some quick reactions on the Super Bowl movie trailers!
In an extra ep from The Deucecast - mostly in part because d$ is currently on a boat in the Caribbean Sea, but also because #TwitterlessDrEarl just wanted a day off, and Mikey didn't feel like recording on a Tuesday morning.
But either way, it's an audio experience of the Deucecast Extra on the YouTube Channel, this time all about James Gunn's speech concerning the future of DC films. Plus Rhett is here to say things like "The majority of the population are morons.
The new year has begun, winter is crashing around us, and it's time to reflect on what made our moviedom in the last year... and for the second time, we ask, Who Won the Year? And maybe for the first time, because we can't remember, we ask Who Also Lost the Year?
First up, a few quick reviews -- "Living", as seen by Dr Earl, "Aftersun" as seen by Mikey and Dr. Earl, and "Women Talking", as seen by Mikey and Dave... and those Oscar nominated films lead into the discussion of the recent Oscar nominations, with Mikey going all in on Top Gun Maverick... Dave making a case for Everything Everywhere All At Once... and Dr Earl chiming in with pretention.
Then, a top five of the winners and the losers... how can Margot Robbie be both? And Tom Hanks down year, with Tom Cruise's amazing year... who won the animation game... big time directors taking a hit, but big time blockbusters becoming a hit... too much Korg, just enough Jimmy Cam, and not enough Hong Chau.
Of course, the usual rabbit trails of random conversation.
The review of 2022 film is in full swing, but first there is the annual look back at the movies seen last year that were NOT FROM last year. Its the Not 2022 Top Ten, where we highlight films worthy of a second discussion because they just impacted us so much.
Dave, Mikey, and #TwitterlessDrEarl welcome in Friend of the Show, streaming live from the booming metropolis somewhere in Bainbridge, Wyoming, that is one Jacob "Roth from Wyoming."
Together, the foursome discuss their top ten faves of the year from all over the place, as far back as 1931 all the way through the 60s and 70s and in the 00s -- O Russell talk... Mamet chatter... Pierce Brosnan's singing voice... classic Christmas movies set in Budapest... Tarantino's faves... assassination conspiracies... Peckinpah and the violence of the west... John Wayne and the hilarity of the west... d$ and Roth fawn over Paulette Goddard... The Seventh Seal does NOT feature Demi Moore...
And much more in this good time of an episode...

Make sure you listen to Part 1 of January ReFlicktions, then come back for the 2nd half of the usual massive list of films that Mikey, Dave, and #TwitterlessDrEarl have seen in the last six or seven weeks.
Some of the discussion includes Will Smith's latest and could it have been Oscar bait if only... Rian Johnson returning with another Benoit Blanc's mystery skills... some of the best animation of the year... Bond's music... Christian Bale in the Civil War and Ric Flair in a wrestling ring... creepy dolls... Brendan Fraser's comeback... the latest Baumbach...
And a longer than usual discussion on Babylon, how Mikey loved it, how Earl hasn't seen it, and how Dave cannot decide what he thinks.
Oh, and more Nic Cage.

Every January, the Deucecast trio jumps into ReFlicktions after what is likely a 6-7 week break from ReFlickting movies... and that means a mondo sized ReFlicktions episode - but for your listening pleasure...
...and because not only is Mikey leaving town for the weekend, but d$ has weekend commitments as well, the 2.5 hour episode is now going to be 2 episodes!
First... the last vestiges of Christmas cinema, with horror Santas and returns to Indiana and Dickens and England.
Then, diving into the non-holiday stuff, #TwitterlessDrEarl gets pretentions with Inerratu and classic with Bing... d$ discusses the controversy on Strange World... Mikey hates Criminals named Emily but loves blue Na'vi... and a movie that we all forgot - Memory.
Check out the films we discussed on the episode (and where they are streaming) and come back next week for the likes of Glass Onion, new Baumbach, Will Smith's new slave epic, Brendan Fraser's comeback and a long discussion on the merits (and debauchery) of Babylon.

And every year, Friend of the Show, Miss Independent Jeremy Burgess joins up for the episode, giving his own surprises and delights.
First up, Burgess is assigned his annual Burgentine's Day -- sure, it's early, but Home Goods had V-Day stuff up before Christmas, so we feel okay about this.
Then, the guys jump right into their Top 5 films that they went into unsure about, perhaps with little to no expectations... and came out of surprised at how delighted they found the movies... and delighted at the surprise of how delightful it was. Or something.
And they even dig a little into Oscar odds... some newer horror gets lots of love on the show... a little hot Brendan Fraser talk... some Austin Butler chatter... Michael's Baygasm... and even get a little Shakespearean. Sort of.
And a "Don't Die" update!!

Like the Masters, its a tradition unlike any other... the Annual Lumps of Coal episode.
Out of the dozens of films The Deucecast Movie Show loved, out of the hundreds of movies the Deucecast Movie Show liked... there are a handful of movies -- or in #TwitterlessDrEarl's case, tropes, patterns, directors and the like -- that just didn't land... or maybe landed with a crash and burn in a bad way.
Hopping straight to it, the guys rail on how hard it is to muck up a great cast and make a terrible movie (yet Hollywood finds a way)... when the crimes of the future becomes a crime in making a film in the present... when Jessica Chastain tries 355, but delivers a Zero... when Benaffleck Ana de Armes' his marriage... the Jim Cameron movie that won't end... and Zac Efron flames out big time.
Plus, this year's winner of "The Movie that Broke Mikey".
Films discussed in this week's episode, and where to find them at the time of recording:
- Avatar Way of Water (in theaters)
- Blacklight (Amazon Prime; Paramount+; EPIX)

It's that time of year once again... The Cheetah Girls have returned to spread their vocals, their mirth, and their marshmallow world all up in your earholes as its the Annual Christmas Gift Episode -- the one where we, that being Mikey, d$, #TwitterlessDrEarl, and Christmas Gift perennial Lil G Spawn of Ryfun Pride of Waycross Garrison, give out the best movie related gifts to the studios, to the people, to the actors, and even some to each other.
The theme music rolls and the festive festives for the entire show!
First up... a spoiler free -- then a spoiler filled -- review of "Avatar: The Way of Water" NOTE: We talk spoilers from 14:42 to around 21:50 of the episode, so if you haven't seen it or don't want to hear, then heed the time stamp accordingly
Then the gifts... to Tom Cruise! To Netflix execs! To Bob Iger! To Michael Giacchino! And the creation of a brand new, free, ad-supported streaming service that you should subscribe to!
The Christmas season is in full swing, with our series of Christmas episodes finally set to begin -- big props to Aussie Nate, Roth from Wyoming, and Lil G for hosting last week...
But the real losers are back in the saddle, with Mikey and d$ taking control again -- #TwitterlessDrEarl off on assignment doing Doctors with Some Borders (because he's pretentious)
It's becoming an annual tradition - one that we find out isn't as old as we thought, but still will be from here anyway - and that is bringing former Delightful Life podcast host and Disney Nerds podcast co-host and sort of blogger and avid hockey fan and mom of 3-7, though we aren't sure, and the greatest voice on our show, one Jennifer Kaufman!
A little bit of chit chat and catching up -- including the movies she's seen, like Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, and Mikey's review of "Christmas Bloody Christmas" and d$'s take on "Violent Night" -- they dive into a jolly round of Dylan McDermott Mulroney, starring Candace, Danica, and Lacey!
Then the Top Five of the Week... the trio's fave non-Christmas movies to watch at Christmas, with some films possibly being a Christmas movie, some films having parts of Christmas in it, and some having nothing to do with Christmas whatsoever.
Plus, the incredible career of Shane Black... the graduation of Young Garrison Ryfun... fantasy movies in the holidays... and much more!
While Mikey has missed maybe 2 episodes, and d$ has missed maybe 3 eps, and #TwitterlessDrEarl has only been a regular for the last few hundred eps, now for the first time in almost 12 years and 560 episodes, neither Mikey nor d$ nor #TwitterlessDrEarl are on the show itself.
Instead, three show icons, three show legends, three show fan favorites, three show regulars take over the show... Aussie Nate, Spawn of Ryfun, aka, Lil G, and Roth from Wyoming pick up the reigns as the regular guys are out of action for the week (re: d$ is in Orlando and Mikey is watching movies and #TwitterlessDrEarl just likes the weekend off) and after firing off a quick round of Rotten Tomatoes, they dive right into Top Five Recasted Characters.
From a super spy to a dark knight to a space smuggler to Old Kris Kringle himself, Lil G, Aussie, and Roth serve up their fave characters that were redone even better.
Also, Garrison has never seen Christmas Vacation, and hates Ernest movies, so he will likely not ever be asked back.
Here are movies listed and discussed, and where to find them at the time of recording:
- Batman Forever (the one with Val, but not the nipple suit) - HBO Max

It's our annual episode of giving thanks, in a DeuceGiving style! This is the episode where Mikey, Dave, and #TwitterlessDrEarl gives their thanks!
Movies are finally back (for the most part), so after a few birthday movies, including The Last Unicorn and The Lord of the Rings celebrating some big anniversaries, we give our list of gratitude for the movie world -- thanks for the return of our favorite Butt Wagons and ingenues arising and Data gets his spotlight and old school being new school and so much more.
And of course, thanks to all of YOU for the listening and downloading and so much more!
The holiday season is here, and we are one week out from our annual DeuceGiving episode, which kicks off two months of annual eps - from Christmas gifts to Kaufman's yearly seasonal offerings to Top Tens of Not the Year to Lumps of Coal and much more.
But that's later.
Today, we talk November... last year, around this time, we talked best November movies of the 2000s. This time, we take it back a decade and do the best of the 90s -- any film released from November 1 to November 30th in 1990... and 1991... and 1992.. and so on, up until 1999.
And to regale our 11th months gone by, Dave, Mikey, and #TwitterlessDrEarl brings in a familiar face, one not seen in a bit -- Dave's Main Street Electrical Podcast co-star Jenn Novotny! She joins the dudes to discuss their top fives.
First, a new game called All Rotten Or Alright, as it's a mixed bag of Rotten and Fresh films from Novembers gone by, then a little Catch Up with Jenn, including her two existing podcasts and a new show upcoming, The Couples Code, which you can look for online soon.

This week, we drop an episode that premiered on November 6th, 2016, including d$, Mikey, #TwitterlessDrEarl, and Pinky (!) -- these are the original show notes from that episode, or find it here.
It's election season here in 'Merica, and to recognize, Mikey, Pinky, and Dave are talking favorite political films! And who better to bring in to discuss such movies than the President of the Pretentious
Corner, the Witt Stillman fan, the Film Historian, the Terence Malick Apologist himself, the honorable Dr Earl.
First up, a round of The Ryan Phillippe Game, where you have to name all the films of a certain actor like Kurt Russell, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Owen Wilson or Charlize Theron and more.
And then... fave political movies! People trying to win an election! Leaders trying to stop a war! Superheroes trying to stay on the right side of America! Movies like Lincoln! Argo! Wag the Dog! Captain America Civil War!
A great recommendation for the movie "Failsafe" as well, if you can find it, and for "Eye in the Sky", which is now available on Netflix.
So enjoy the list of political movies and tell us your own faves!
DISCLAIMER: There isn't any talk of the current political climate, nor it's candidates, its merely a list of favorite films involving not just government, but anything where a leadership plays a game of hierarchy for positioning...
On the way to Episode 600, in which The Deucecast Movie Show will finally payoff it's Big Bracket of Movie Roles.. but there are still spots to fill. So tonight, the guys match up two Hollywood Legendary Heavyweights -- Jack Nicholson roles vs Robert DeNiro roles.
First up, Mikey, Dave, and #TwitterlessDrEarl bring in "The Pride of Noonan", aka, Lil G, aka, Spawn of Ryfun, aka, Garrison to discuss the characters that Jack and Bobby brought to life.
After a quick look back to 2012 when Disney and Lucasfilm made a small agreement, then they dive into the bracket... and they even have to call in help.
Follow along as Jack Torrence takes on James Dale, Garrett Breedlove vs George Hanson, Frank Costello vs Will Randal, Warren Schmidt vs Harry Sanborn, Jake Gittes vs Bill Rorish, Col Jessup vs Melvin Udell, The Joker vs Daryl Van Horne, Randal McMurphy vs Charley Partanna
AND
Vito vs Sam and Max Cady vs Pat Solito Jr and Al Capone vs Harry Tuttle and Paul Vitti and Jack Brynes and Travis Bickle vs Michael and Neil McCauley vs Louis Gara and Jake LaMotta vs Jack Walsh and Jimmy Conway vs Sam Rothstein.
Only one can make it through.
Another few weeks have gone by, and it's time for another ReFlicktions, which is a wrap up of all the movies that your handsome hosts - d$, Mikey, #TwitterlessDrEarl -- have seen since... well, since the last time we did ReFlicktions. Amongst the topics discussed... the crap that is Hocus Pocus 2... counting the Werewolf as a movie... lots of Sports Docs... being surprised by the Munsters... loving Amsterdam... hating Barney... Swedish vampires... there is no OF... Mikey loves Krampus... Anya Taylor Joy in the VVitch.. going back to Flo Pugh... Julia & George on-screen... And Idris Elba fights a lion.

When you get five and half-a-hunna episodes into your podcast, including 12 Halloween Episodes, you can't always do "Best Villains"... sometimes you have to go the other way, and do the "Worst Villains", or more specifically, "The Most Incompetent Bad Guys" in films.
October birthday movies up first, as Blade Runner 2049 celebrates its 5th birthday, The Might Ducks has it's 30th birthday, and The Manchurian Candidate turns 60 (RIP Angela Lansbury!)
Guest of the night, Miss Independent himself Jeremy Burgess joins the show to fill us on on Dust on the VCR as well as the update on the upcoming film Don't Die.
Then, Mikey, Dave, #TwitterlessDrEarl, and Burgess give their own list of greatly terrible bad guys in film -- written well but played poorly, or the storyline they are given is terrible, or flashy but totally ineffective for any number of reasons.
Finally, MikeTober #9 commences, with Mikey giving his recap and ranking of "Speak No Evil", "Dog Soldiers", "The Vanishing" and some other movie I can't remember but he didn't like as much.

Halloween is quickly approaching as the fall rolls on, and the spooky movies are already on deck for both Mikey, Dave, and #TwitterlessDrEarl. But before they get to Halloween proper (and the annual Halloween ep coming in a few weeks), they'll spend a little time with some of the other mean, evil, and sometimes incompetent characters of film.
First, quick chatter about recent movies taken in, including "Amsterdam" and "Werewolf By Night", then a Rotten Tomatoes game featuring the good, and bad, movies made by the master of horror fiction, Stephen King himself. Everything from the acclaimed like "Stand by Me" to the forgotten, like "The Mangler". Everyone figures Mikey will win this one too. Right? Right.
Then, the Henchmen. Those who don't run the show, but do the bidding of those movie villains who do. Then again, sometimes the Henchmen in question are really the ones in charge. Either way, each of the Deucecast trio brings their own favorites to their lists.
Plus... the short career of Alexander Godunov and a
multiverse world where Harrison Ford is a dentist on Friends and Tom Selleck wields a whip.
Due to a number of factors including a hurricane that kept d$'s vacation totally up in the air and a Sunday night unavailability and Monday night plans that were set then were squashed and of course, the fallback plan... an ep of The Deucecast Extra, all for your listening ears.
While Dave makes his way back from Orlando, Mikey, and #TwitterlessDrEarl welcome in the Pride of Eatonton, the Spawn of Ryfun, Lil G in the hizzy, along with Wyoming's Best Hope, J Roth.
The first hour consists of a look at Ep 6 of "She-Hulk: Attorney at Law", in which we determine that Mikey hates Baltimore... and then some MCU News, with the Deadpool teaser.
Then, "Andor" episodes 1-3, with all the characters and themes and Blade Runner vibes throughout.
THEN... about 54 minutes in...
Steve Glosson.
The man, the myth, the legend calls in and gives his take on Andor... Thor and Thor Love & Thunder... and weird aliens in Star Wars and Good Will Hunting and Fantastic Four and The Eternals and Dibello the Lawyer and classic Steve Glosson and The Big Honkin Show's return and Rise of Skywalker and Michael hates "Willow" and "Blade" and Superman II's Donnor Cut vs Donnor party
Because we are on the downslope to Episode 600, and we've done 21 of these and need to do at least 11 more... its TOURNEY TIME.
Mikey, Dave, and #TwitterlessDrEarl are ready to put another movie role into the Big Bracket, to figure out what the greatest movie role of all time could be. This episode, it's picking out the greatest roles from franchises.
The rules.... must be a character who appears in at least FOUR theatrical releases, no matter how brief, and can be played by the same or different actors. Star Wars and Marvel are intentionally excluded, with one brief exception. And for the first time in any DCMS Tourney... Harry Potter and The Lord of the Rings make their appearances.
To do such a big event, the Deucecast trio need help -- enter the Pride of Buford Georgia, Spawn of Ryfun himself, Lil G, and Friend of the Show Roth from Wyoming, picking up last minute invites to be a part of the madness.
Transformers go tet a tet... the wizarding world has a rumble, as does Middle Earth... action stars attempt to keep it in the family, while dynamic duos take on crime stopping wiseacres... will G's push for Ethan Hunt finally be successful? What happens when two of Mikey's icons face off? Is it fair to make #TwitterlessDrEarl decide a match from movies he's never seen? Probably not, but here we go!
Another September, another fall begins, and another round of ReFlicktions takes shape as Mikey, Dave, and #TwitterlessDrEarl come together once again to give the lowdown on 12 movies (d$) and 5 movies (Ear) and 133 movies (Mikey, taking over for Pinky in the moviewatching sphere)
In the show... Earl taps into his Zennieal side... Liam Neeson disappoints again... Dave goes Sports Doc... Mikey's worst movie... bad 80s heroes... uncomfortable supermarket conversations... original films of good remakes... Viola Davis kicks arse... and a delight romp from 1940

As the Summer movie season comes to a close Dave, Mikey, and TwitterlessDrEarl discuss their favorites and not so favorites of the summer.
Still Beautiful. Still Gorgeous. Still Malick.
As Labor Day passes, so goes, for all intents and purposes, the #FanBoySummer which comes to a close with one final guest, one final top five as provided by those in the Discord.
Mikey, d$, and #TwitterlessDrEarl welcome back The Pride of Tifton Georgia, the Spawn of Ryfun, Lil G, Garrison to the show, and he brings to the table an extended alternate topic... that being Extended Editions and Directors Cuts of our Fave Films.
Several opinions come up on the Justice League and Zack Snyder's famed edition... the slapstick of Superman and the alternate cut... Mikey cheating... Garrison channeling Sergio Leone... watching films in TV series form... Terrence Malick stuff... Mikey's Star Trek convention discoveries... watching The Tuxedo... Peter Jackson's directors edition of the Lord of the Rings... aliens of the Abyss... and a movie that lasts over five hours...
Plus, d$ plays off DaveSplosion 2022!

For the first time in over two years, the Deucecast crew -- Mikey, d$, and #TwitterlessDrEarl takes on a Herculean task... listing the movies coming in the fall and winter of the year. The Spring/Summer preview (ep 526) got most of the movies right, but when it comes to fall and winter, leading into award season, it's a total crapshoot.
But we are up for the challenge.
We list most of the major releases into theaters and streaming, with the knowledge that any of them can move without warning.
Two Pinocchio films, new Kevin Smith, is Fletch even relevant anymore, Sidney Pointier gets his due, Zac Efron on a Beer Run, Olivia Wilde v Flo Pugh, Tyler Perry's Jazzman, d$ geeks out over new Russell AND new Baumbach, Mikey says "Dominatrix", #TwitterlessDrEarl loving some Tar, Anne Hathaway heads to another Oscar, She Said journalism, Amy Adams Amy Adams Amy Adams, Tom Hanks bad accents, Whitney biopic, Sarah Polley's critical love...
And dozens and dozens and dozens more.
Only two weeks left in our newly iconic #FanBoySummer, and we chose to handpick our final two losers winners, we mean, and one guest we wanted to bring back is a beloved past and future guest. But since Paige Davis was not available, we invited on our lovely pal Jenny Kaufman!
First, catching up with Kaufman after her refusing to come on the show since last Christmas, the Birthday movies kick in for August of previous years.
Then, Kaufman leads the game! A rousing game of IMDb, giving d$ a chance to actually play it!
Then, the Top 5 movies from the Friends cast... of which some of the friends have a plethora of movies to choose from, and some... do not.
Among things discussed... Mikey's kids makes everyone feel terribly old with "the late 1900s"... explaining filesharing to the kids... Limewire... life in a non-streaming world... Friends in animation... missing Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip... why some Friends were more successful than others...

The Deucecast chooses to pod smarter, not harder, this time as the word of the day is SCIENCE!! Whether "she blinded me" with it, or its "My project" or just WEIRD, today #TwitterlessDrEarl and Mikey and d$ talk about "Science Movies".
How to define that? We ask our guest, the latest loser of #FanboySummer, "Chewbubba" Andy!
The topic tonight is all about the science, but first the crew takes on the Denzel Game for the first time in a while... a little chit-chat with Andy to find out who he is and what he's about...
Then tackling the broad spectrum of "Science Movies" (which is different than "Sci-Fi Movies"), the guys give their picks of their favorite movies about Science, Technology, Mathematics and more.
We'll discuss the career of Andrew Niccol... dunking on Math teachers... Harland Williams whereabouts... Apollo films... Tesla v Westinghouse... storm chasers... life on Mars... the vision that is Jennifer Connelly...

This time, Mikey, Dave, and #TwitterlessDrEarl welcome in past and future guest, and Discord chatterbox Jacob Roth, aka, Roth from Wyoming, aka co-host of A Good Day for a Podcast to discuss 1-2 punches.
First up, July Birthday Movies, including both Men in Blacks (mens in black?), a Katy Perry concert film, squealing like a pig, and the stacked July of 1987.
Then, a quick chat about this past weekend's San Diego Comic Con, specifically the Marvel stage and all the upcoming titles and Phases.
Roth from Wyoming brings the topic this time, with the best 1-2 punches from directors... the best back to back, non-franchised films from the same director across movie history.
As usual, a little pretension but maybe not from #TwitterlessDrEarl... a John Landis love fest... which Spielberg do you choose... what is a Thanksgiving movie... forgetting George Lucas... and the best back to back to back Hitchcock...

The summer is well underway as The Deucecast Movie Show has rolled through its twelfth June, and now past another July 4th (USA! USA!), and in this week's #FanboySummer edition, Arkansas fanboy and teacher and educator and smart cool dude Charley Wooten!
First up, a little about Charley, talking about his background and his podcast Sunday Synopsis, then the very first round of a game we call HIGH SCHOOL HIGH... which high schools in movies are made up or real -- and which might be inspired.
Then, the topic picked by the guest, Charley - surprisingly a topic not covered before, Fave Teachers in Movies.
Some of the topics include Harry Potter... Arkansas education... ruining Mr. Holland... Butthead's hippy teacher... Matthew Broderick enjoying his pie... young Charley and his Miyagi PJs... a shared love of Kevin James... the lost art of loving a movie that you couldn't immediately access...

The joys of TubiTV… how good is Maverick… Garrison’s Purge Journey… Cronenberg’s recent work… talking what a woman is… Adam Sandler’s stage of his career… a few political opinions only held by those speaking them, not representative of the entire crew (we dunno. just thought we should say that)

It's Week 2 of #FanboySummer, and Dave, Mikey, and #TwitterlessDrEarl seek to improve the show by bringing on people better than all of us... and when its about music, when its about movie music, when its about movies about music but aren't musicals, what better person to bring in than Mississippi's Finest, guitar player and worship leader and podcast host and Discord Datcord fellow Matt Mink, aka, The Mink Panther.
The fellas talk about Matt and where he's from, where he's going, and why he loves music. The discussion leads to some of the group's fave music influences, including some old country like The Statlers, Jamie Johnson, and more Kentucky Headhunters than any podcast has talked about in recent memory. And, of course, the Forrester Sisters, because of course.
Then, the return of Birthday Movies, including the absolute murderer's row of films released in June 1987, then the Top Five movies about music, but are not actually musicals... films with the beloved Anna Kendrick and films with Pixar and films with a non Danielsan Ralph Macchio but not the early Britney Spears and films with Michelle Pfieffer on a piano and films with George Clooney lip syncing and a Fountains of Wayne shout out and d$ in touch with his heritage on a golf cart in Cancun and of course, Christopher Guest.
And a ton more. Stick around in the aftershow segment to hear who gets #3 on FanboySummer!

Today, Mikey, d$ (returning from his death bed), and #TwitterlessDrEarl welcome back Friend of the Show and Mr Independent himself, Jeremy Burgess.
First up, a gangsta' game of Rotten Tomatoes, honoring one we lost too soon -- Ray Liotta, and his best (and not so best) films. Then, Burgess' topic pick, figuring how we've done football and baseball centric themes, and so this time, it's all round ball.... Top Five Best Basketball movies.
And it makes for an even better time when two of the four have only seen a marginal amount of hoops films, one has seen mostly documentaries, and the fourth being the only true basketball cinematic expert.

The Deucecast Team decided to spend the Holiday weekend with our families but we couldn't leave our loyal listeners without content.
This is the audio version of our YouTube Show The Deucecast Extra in which we did a spoiler filled discussion of Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. Dave, Mikey, and TwitterlessDrEarl are joined by Deucecast staples Garrison, Roth in Wyoming, and Hurricane Rhett for a really fun conversation that goes off the rails as expected.
We'll be back next week with the beginning of our Listener curated episodes. Can't wait for you all to hear who won week one.
When Mikey, d$, and #TwitterlessDrEarl only have about 20 movies between them, thereby ensuring the ReFlicktions would be fairly short. We can't have that, so let's invite in the Pride of Kennesaw and the Spawn of Scotty Ryfun, the Lil G himself Garrison Ryfun.
We are here to spill the beans, no spoilers, plus discuss other hot topics like...
The simplicity of early Fantastic Four... #TwitterlessDrEarlsPretentiousCorner... Liam's too old... if Anna Paquin deserved her Oscar... Lucy Deakins whereabouts... old vs new Firestarter... Zac Efron's potential and what he needs to be in... surprising Jason Biggs... a rewatch of Tom Cruise... catching up with Rick Rossovich and Whip Hubley... Channing Tatum's RUFF watch... and the IP of Chip & Dale's Rescue Rangers...
Plus, Garrison can't get away from Take My Breath Away...

In just a week or so, the Deucecast Guys enter into the Danger Zone again, at a preview for Top Gun, so that leads the discussion to TOP FIVE DOGFIGHTS in movie history. Snoop, Snoopy, The Bounty Hunger or Junkyard are not included. A task too big for just d$, Mikey, and #TwitterlessDrEarl, so who do they turn to? Of course, Hurricane Rhett, because this show has been on the rails way, way too long.
First, memories of the original Top Gun... where did everyone see it? How young, and how many zippers were on those parachute pants?
Then, the top five movies with aerial battles, mostly featuring planes, but some with helicopters, even some fists, and a stealth fighter named Firefox.
Mikey has the Zoa on tap... Memphis Belle's true mission... the Time Vortex... Ken Olin gets a namedrop... USA Night Flight... the badness of Pearl Harbor... the goodness of Dunkirk... Mikey's weird voices... ID4 mistakes... AirWolf vs Blue Thunder, featuring Riptide... All the Iron Eagles...

BATTER UP! Baseball has begun, 30 games into the season, Dave's team, Baltimore, is already out of it, Mikey doesn't care because Dallas Cowboys play the foosball and not the baseball, and #TwitterlessDrEarl is out and about, saving lives, delivering babies and politicking.
So, we bring in Roth from Wyoming, co-host of Good Day for a Movie Podcast, and Deucecast Discorder Extraordinaire, to help figure out which one of these 32 incredible baseball roles head to the Big Bracket of Ep 600!
First up, the return of WORD UP! to the show -- discussions on Doctor Strange, on Netflix failings, and Top Gun Maverick prospects. Plus, some other random chitter chatter before the tourney takes over.
Roth, Mikey, and d$ set out to determine the best modern day baseball role in movie history, with everything from Wild Thing to a double dose of Costner to Tony Danza and Tom Selleck and Bernie Mac and a few chicks even make the final line up. Great discussion, great film memories.

Now that all the 2021 lists are over, and the ReFlicktions for last month have been ReFlickted, its time to finally move forward with new lists, new topics, and old movies to discuss!
In honor of this year's NFL Draft, which just happened and to which likely 2 of the 3 Deucecasters (Dave, Mikey, Dr Earl) have no idea who was #1 (Minka Kelly, maybe?), it's time to talk a little football acting.
First up, a little May the Fourth Be With You chitchat, then the return of The Rotten Tomatoes Game (and the first mention of Knute Rocke in 531 eps), then, this week's Top Five... Football Players (college and pro) who turned to acting. Some cameo roles (as in, why Brett Favre is in Miami) and Bernie Casey gets a nod and a few names Rock multiple lists and even Burt Reynolds shows up.
Plus... both Robert Urich and John Metuszak might be making their debut mentions. Maybe. Unclear.
Spring has sprung, Easter has eclipsed us, May is moving in, and now that 2021 has been discarded like an empty paper plate that once had a large piece of cake but is now empty because Dave and Mikey were at that birthday party eating that cake while #TwitterlessDrEarl stood by with a diabetes monitor and... what.
Time for ReFlicktions.
Among the discussion... why Morbius is like an Autism breakfast... Jason Segal needs more laughs... Ben Affleck and his affairs... The one little problem with Ten Little Indians... Mikey's kids fangirling over the YouTube stars... revisiting Easter movies... Life in a Bubble...
And do animals have pancreases? Pancreaseses? Pancreaii?

It's a tradition unlike any other... no, not the Masters, nor the Kentucky Derby, nor the BAFTAs... nope, it's the Deucie Awards!
For the 9th consecutive year, including 8 years in a row and this one, the Deucecast Movie Show hosts compile a list of nominees to watch, consider, vote on, and finally award the proverbial Golden Deuce Academy Globe VIBE statue to any one - or many - of over 40 films nominated for 16 awards...
Will Jess Chastain take home the Deucie to match her Oscar? Will Jason Isaacs get finally get some love after his tour de force on MASS? Can Hans Zimmer take another step closer to a DEGOT? And will international films find themselves in the spotlight this year.
Along the way, Dave, Mikey, and #Twitterless Dr Earl count down their own individual lists of their favorite 10 from the previous year gone by... including films that only get on one list, like that Jesus music doc Dave loves... and movies that are on 67% of the lists, like Wes Anderson's latest quirkity cinema... or movies that are on various spots of all three lists, like PTA's newest masterpiece or maybe a web slingin' modern classic...
And shockingly, this ep comes in well under 2 hours.
Enjoy the show as we put a button on 2021!
Here at the Deucecast, we always remember our favorite actors and actresses, and when they step away, we give them props. So when the family of Bruce Willis announced that Bruno himself would be retiring due to health issues, the Deucecast wanted to give our proper nod. Hence, our Bruce Willis themed episode! Mikey and Dave are joined by Lil G Ryfun from Valdosta, GA, as the trio counts down their own favorite Bruce films. Plus, lots of great discussions on the career and overall body of work. Stick around for the extended stinger, as the show gets a drop-in by a former and future guest of the show, who only stops by to kick himself off of the show later.
As Charlie Puth would sing, "It's been a long road without you my friend, but here we are to preview the movies again..." Or something like that.
After a two year absence, the Spring Movie Preview is back, as Mikey will tell you he worked 9 hours to bring this episode together! And then, for funsies, we even add on the summer, to make it a full on preview of all the movies you'll want to see (The Bubble! Everything Everywhere All At Once! Bullet Train) and maybe are unsure of (AmbuLAnce! Hustle! Paws of Fury!) and those to possible, maybe sort of avoid... like Mrs Harris Goes to Paris?
We bring you the latest in Marvel with Dr Strange and Thor upcoming... in dinosaurs, as Jurassic World makes its final bow... the Buzz on the latest Pixar flick... historical dramas like Mincement and Survivors... Nic Cage dealing with the weight of his unbearable talent... more Harry Potter... and so much more.
Oh... and #TwitterlessDrEarl also says "RZA".
It's been a hot minute since our last ReFlicktions, but Dave, Mikey, and #TwitterlessDrEarl are back to talk... er, ReFlicked... all the movies they've seen in the last month or so.
Dave talks about his ongoing project to see at least one film from 1927 to 1959... Mikey is nearing the end of his Best Picture movie watch list... and Dr. Earl finally made it through all 9 hours of Drive My Car

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 Show Fave and Listener Roth from Wyoming!
First, a list of Birthday Movies -- including Logan turning five, and IN LIKE FLINT... my favourite movie!
Then to add to the Best Picture nominees of 2002!
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 for the Best Picture category in 2003 (for movie year 2002) are Gangs of New York, The Hours, Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers, The Pianist, and the year's big winner, Chicago... so the crew asks, "Did they get it right?"
This is the last of this part of the series for this year. Next February, we will pick back up with the Best Picture nominees of 2003 and continue through 2007.
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.

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.

The episode from last week was just so long, the only answer was to turn it into two shows over two weeks. This is not an achievement, this is more indicative of at least two of the three hosts of the show really needing to get out and experience life, instead of just watching every movie in existence. As it stands, this episode picks up right back where last week left off... Here are the movies discussed in this episode only, and where to find them streaming at current time. * Beanie Mania (HBO Max) * Street Gang: How We Got to Sesame Street (HBO Max) * Don’t Look Up (Netflix) * Stillwater (for rental) * Woman in Gold (TubiTV) * Dead Asleep (Hulu) * Red Rocket (in theaters) * Clerk (for rental) * Super Bob Epstein (HBO Max) * The Humans (Showtime) * The Lost Daughter (Netflix) * Ride the Eagle (Hulu) * The French Dispatch (in theaters) * King Richard (in theaters) * The Harder they Fall (Netflix) * Pig (Hulu) * The Card Counter (for rentals) * Mass (for rental) * Nine Days (for rental) * The 355 (in theaters) * Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood * American Underdog (in theaters) * The Tender Bar (Amazon Prime) * Drive My Car (theater) * The Tragedy of Macbeth (in theaters)
If you thought the beginning of the year meant a slow down in movies seen by The Deucecast Movie Show crew -- Mikey, d$, and Dr. Earl -- then you obviously don't know these guys very well.
The year starts with a bang with a heaping helping of film reviews, both new -- Spidey, West Side Story, Swan Song -- and old -- To the Wonder, Ernest -- and many, many more...
So many, in fact, that the show was chopped into two pieces... this week, you get a great discussion on the Golden Globes, with winners announced as we record, plus the sad state of the once proud, if not eccentric affair.
Then, reviews on almost 20 movies, with just as many coming next week.

- The Hand of God (Netflix)

Everyone gives their top fives, including incredible acting performances... juicy roles... movie websites for movie lovers.. movie studios who swung for the fences... genre films... streaming services... and so much more...
Plus, a stinger riff on Chris Pine...
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...

If you listen to the episode, you may recognize the opening theme, the best time of the year, when the Deucecast Movie Show plays the official Christmas theme of the show. It truly is a Marshmallow World.
Dave and Mikey, sans #TwitterlessDrEarl, are here once again to give out their annual Christmas gifts to the stars, and joining the show for the second time in the Christmas season, it's Spawn of Ryfun, Lil G himself Garrison Ryfun.
First up, a quick conversation on Spider-Man No Way Home, then a round of Box Office Mojo, looking at the biggest money makers of 2021...
Then the guys begin to give out the gifts! Ridley Scott has a present to open, if he can take it without telling Garrison to F off... Bruce Willis finds out that some gifts are harder to receive than others... Garrison plays piecemaker between Hobbs and Dom... and Dave has a few films to dish out to the group.
Feliz Navidad and all that to the masses! Mikey, d$ and the #TwitterlessDrEarl record another great episode with all the movies seen in the last several weeks.

Wahlberg's good roles... Amy Adams (who d$ is in love with)... Will Smith's Oscar chances... The Wes Studi of 50s Hollywood... Mikey and the Velvet Underground... musicals reign supreme... Andrew Garfield's big year... getting back with The Beatles...

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.
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.
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...
The year continues to move quickly, and the ReFlicktions are back again, this time a jumbo sized episode with #TwitterlessDrEarl's 10 or so, Dave's 20 or so, and Mikey's 76 or so...

The Deucecast Crew, including Mikey, Dave, and #TwitterlessDrEarl love movies and the actresses in them, and felt it was high time to pay tribute to those who have since departed this mortal coil... especially since we gave the love to the Actors a few weeks ago (Ep 496), its time to do the same for the fairer gender.
Joining the show is the Spawn of Scotty Ryfun, the pride of Kennesaw, Lil G Garrison, as #TwitterlessDrEarl and Mikey give thoughts on The Last Duel, while Lil G and Dave look at Halloween Kills.
A round of Rotten Tomatoes ensues, featuring the film of one up and coming actor that you may not even know the name of -- but we know you've seen him.
Then, proper nods to the dead and buried, included legendary names like Hepburn and Gilda and Cloris and Ingrid and more. Finally, a late addition of Birthday Movies for October!
The frivolity and excitement of Ep 500 has come... and gone... and now the countdown to 600 begins RIGHT NOW with Episode 502, our first ReFlicktions in 6 weeks!

Well, here we are, one week out from the biggest episode we've had since the last big episode we had. It's the Deucecast Movie Show and before we get to 500, we have to do 499. And in the spirit of the One Before, Dave, Mikey, and #TwitterlessDrEarl are celebrating ones before... or more specifically, movies that have a story before the story that you've already seen...
Prequels.
No, not THOSE Prequels... well, not just those Prequels. These are the origin stories, the lead ups, the ones that show us how the big movies got their own stories to tell. How Bumblebee met an unassuming Hailee Steinfeld and how Professor X ended up in the wheelchair and how Silent Bob met Jay and why is Indy 2 set before Indy 1? These are the questions that get answered!
Plus, a new IMDb game, this one all about the Top Four... and paying off the summer, finally, the 2021 edition of DAVESPLOSION!
Finally, all the news you need to know about the next episode, coming Friday, 8p Eastern, 5p Pacific... The Deucecast Movie Show Episode 500.
The human world is definitely a mess, and life at the Deucecast is better than anything they got out dere... so come let us inspire you!
Mikey, d$, and the vaunted and legendary icon #TwitterlessDrEarl are here to bring you the some of the most inspiring films we could find, movies that lift us up, make us happy, pump us with energy and a will to live. A little bit of vim, and a lot of vigor.
And somewhere along the way, the party is crashed by Friend of the Show Scotty Ryfun, who just randomly pops in to say hello, and ends up sticking around to give his own list!
Also discussed along the way... the career of Chris Makepeace... Mikey working on his fitness... d$ runs fast... love for Olympia Dukakis... behind the scenes on Flight 93... Eddie & Steve... more Malick from #TwitterlessDrEarl...
The big 5-0-0 approaches, but there are still movie discussions to be had before then! On the 497th excursion into podcast mediocrity, Dave, Mikey, and #TwitterlessDrEarl chat a bit, then get to Birthday Movies -- Sully is 5 years old! Wicker Park is 15 years old! And somehow the math is off, and The Shawshank Redemption is... 27 years old?
Then, we find the next movie role to make the Big Bracket... and it's a intertwined battle of two American treasures, one being K Costner and the other being M Keaton.
From Birdman to Johnny Dangerously to Eliot Ness to Roy McAvoy, some of our favorite movies and movie characters do battle, plus a great conversation on the legacy of Keaton's Batman, and Peak Whitney.
The Deucecast Crew, including Mikey and Dave, sans #TwitterlessDrEarl (who is spending time earning his minor is podiatry instead of being on this episode) love movies and the actors in them, and felt it was high time to pay tribute to those who have since departed this Mortal Coil... and to give the proper nod to the dead and buried, the Spawn of Scott Ryfun, that being Lil G, the pride of TyTy, joins the show for a look at the ones we miss!
First up, remembering Chadwick Boseman, as we look at one year since he left us.
Then, a rousing round of The Dead Actor Rotten Tomatoes game... which movies are fresh, which are rotten?
Then a look at the faves of the crew, as we discuss actors who have passed in recent (and not so recent) years, and the movies they featured in, from "Skin Deep" to "Moneyball" to "The Philadelphia Story" to which "The Vanishing" is awesome and which one sucks.
Plus, an update on Mikey's 365 Films in a Year pursuit.

A dandy of a documentary kicks it off, followed by the latest M Night, a few more docs, some classic 80s, a visit to the pretentious corner, plus reviews of some of the biggest movies in theaters now, including good, good Ryan Gosling and a bad, bad Hugh Jackman.

The summer is winding down, the Deucecast Movie Show is headed toward 500, and another ReFlicktions is right around the corner... but first, the cherry atop the summer series. And what better way to cap off the award winning, acclaimed, BET Source Award nominated Summer Movie Series than to pick out some of the biggest roles and make it a full on, official Big Bracket Movie Role Tournament... with the winner joining Castor Troy, Jerry Maguire, Indiana Jones, and more in the Big Bracket coming... later. Much later. Thirty two roles, matched up one by one, until there is only one. And what better way to make this happen than to bring on The Spawn of Ryfun, the one and only Son of the Pride of Bainswick, Georgia, Lil G Ryfun! McLovin gets tons of McLove... which Goldblum is better... how much does Mikey love My Big Fat Greek Wedding... can Pee Wee move on... who's the real Patriot... will Connor4Real never stop? or Never stop never stopping?... and the first real life person in the movie role tourney! And a vicious battle between a high school Emma and a ghost seer... Plus... we have ourselves a tiebreaker... a special guest who comes roaring in like a wrecking ball.
The series finale of The Summer Series takes hold this week, as movies from 2015 to 2019 wrap up a look in the last fifty years of summer films.
First, d$ jumps in to clarify the movie release window -- just to make sure there are no bus tread on his own sunburned by the Cancun heat back.
Then, Mikey kicks off the show with #TwitterlessDrEarl and Lil Garrison as they give their fave films from the last five (normal) years

As it stands, to fill out the show, making their very first appearance on the show.... Matt & Susie, the hosts of The Imagineears Podcast! Both movie fans, they take a break from Disney 24/7 to chit chat about fave films in the summer from 2010 to 2014!
Amongst the discussions, Susie's love of Twilight... Cap getting lots of love... Matt dreams of Sushi... more Harry Potter chatter... being fans of Nolan.... plus, Bad Batch talk!
A regularly scheduled break from the Summer Series as our monthly ReFlicktions episode rolls in...
Mikey, d$, and #TwitterlessDrEarl serve up, recount, and review another 40 films or so, many from 2021 and found streaming, but others part of completed lists (all the Ron Howard movies) or part of a franchise (F9) or even just catching up on older movies (PT 109??)
Plus, the troubles of Shia LaBeouf... The Rock in Fast Films... Netflix's problem with content... Chris Pratt's appeal... #TwitterlessDrEarl gets pretentious again... d$ loves Margot Robbie... and Mikey hates Bo Burnham

The Summer Series has but a few time periods left as we approach the 2010s... but first, we have to finish out the 2000s -- that being movies released between Memorial Day and Labor Day in each 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, and 2009!
And our guest roster continues to shine, as Carnegie Hall icon and Mom of lots Jenn Kaufman joins the show once more.
First, a new game called DEBUTS debuts, featuring a challenge to discover famous names who made their first appearances in this five year window.
The, the top five films of that era, including a Donkey Kong doc... My Big Fat Greek Ruins... some Pixar love... a Harry Potter discussion... Julia vs Sandy B... the raunch in films of the time...

The summer is half over, and the summer series is rounding the corner toward the homestretch (that's a baseball metaphor for you folks out there). Mikey and Dave, again sans #TwitterlessDrEarl, take up the mantle of more summer cinema, this time the best from Memorial Day to Labor Day of 2000 to 2004, and the guys bring back Miss Independent himself Jeremy Burgess to the show.
After catching up with The Burgeler (new reality show premiered this Fall on ABC), they play a little 2000s themed Rotten Tomatoes game, with the possible first time mention of "Shark Tale" ever on the podcast (and maybe the first time since the early 2000s anyone has thought of it), then onto the Top Five.
Nic Cage and Costner both make random appearances, and Spielberg films about airports and pre-cognitions also show up. Plus, the lower of the Mission Impossibles, Jamie Foxx and his Collateral, the beginning of the super hero era, Harry Potter shows up, Nicole Kidman's classics, Jay and Silent Bob go after their MoFo movie check, and the Black Pearl.
And Dougray Scott. Or Doogray, as it may be.

As Will Smith would tell us, it's truly summer summer summer time... and once again, it's time to sit back and unwind, especially with our list of summer films from 1995 to 1999!
And once again, the task it too big to take on with just Mikey and Dave (with #TwitterlessDrEarl still saving the lives of those beach goers, this time in the Cozumel sea), so returning to the show is the legend, the myth, the master, the Kwan, the e ching, the pride of Albany, GA, WRYFN radio Disc Jockey, Wolfman Ryfun!!
And the topic are those movies released between Memorial Day to Labor Day in each of 1995, 1996, 1997, 1998, and 1999... and if you are Scotty Ryfun, you even stretch those rules a bit.
Some of the conversation includes Dennis Hopper bad guys... Gary Busey in general... Solo cups... Bowfinger... liking Attack of the Clones a lot... seeing Red Tails... Jim Carrey's dark turn... Ep I's stretching the rules... Nic Cage's holy triumvirate...

The heat is hot, the years roll by, the summer movies pile up, and the list gets better and better? What does that all mean? Heck if we know... but we do know that after 486 episodes, it was time to have on local Ghostbusters expert and awesome southern boy Brock Parker, co-host of the Bama Geeks Podcast!
Brock joins Dave & Mikey (Dr Earl being away on medical missions... at the beach...) as they first do a little Box Office Mojo about money makers in the 1990s... then they move onto the Top Summer Films of 1990 to 1994, any movie released from Memorial Day to Labor Day in each of those years.
Amongst the random topics...
The South Alabama Brock/d$ connection... The video wars between Blu Ray and HDDVD... Howie Long's acting prowess... Brock's Little Mermaid story... The Jack Ryan multi-verse... who returns for Young Guns III... seeing movies on Troy's campus... the Forrest Gump soundtrack... the best Alan Rickman??... the best Ghostbuster song??... are Ghostbuster superfans looking forward to the new film... and Wolverine's F bomb...

The heat is on, as Glenn Frey would say -- fitting that it's from Miami Vice, a TV show right in the era that Dave, Mikey, & Dr Earl take on tonight! The summer films from 1985 thru 1989, any movie that came out from Memorial Day weekend to Labor Day weekend in those respective years.
And the lists of "could be in my Top Five" are growing every block of movie years, and so it was important we bring on someone who was in their movie prime as the guys are -- Nick, host of Podcast of The Whills (and the new MOM CU), joins the show for the first time to break it all down and list them all out.
First up, a little chat on what exactly Podcast of the Whills actually is (hint: its from a Star War), then a little Brat Pack guess 'em game -- think you know the 80s movies of Andrew McCarthy, Judd Nelson, Rob Lowe, and Emilio Estevez? Think you know who woo'd Molly Ringwald in "Fresh Horses" or who was the plucky lawyer in "From the Hip"? Play along, see if you can be the one in the group who dominated.
Then the Top Five Summer Films of 1985 thru 1989 -- some pretention of course... He-Man... Mel Brooks... Elisabeth Shue love... Dottie from Pee Wee love... Joey Pants mourns Ritchie... hot Cyrano de Bergerac talk... "I'll Buy THAT For a Dollar!"... d$'s pick for the best Vietnam movie ever made... and much more in a great discussion about the late 80s classics.

Welcome back to Part 2 of the Summer Series -- last week, we ranked the summer movies of the 70s... this week, we jumped to the first half of the ME Decade -- 1980 to 1984!
And gotta say, the harvest is massive. Ranking any movie released from Memorial Day Weekend to Labor Day weekend in each of 1980, 1981, 1982, 1983, and 1984, the film titles are legendary... Indiana Jones and Elliott and Kermit and Carol Anne and WOLVERINE and Shall We Play a Game and on and on and on... we've all got a list with a dozen or more names on it, and because the task is so daunting, what better way to tackle it than to bring on a podcasting legend and friend of the show SHAZBAZZAR!!
We talk about where Shaz has been spending his time since the end of TechnoRetro Dads... avoiding Vic's Damone... playing a little IMDB Game... love of Marc Singer... the greatest fan film ever made... the 80s teens propensity to create world destroying technology... and so, so much more.

It's Mother's Day and Mikey, Dave, and #TwitterlessDrEarl want to give a nod to their own moms and those moms out there we love. And what better way to honor those moms than to look at the movies... and see which moms to totally avoid.
First, a Mother (F***) themed version of The Rotten Tomatoes Game, taking on the films of the Mother dude himself. Then, a look at the worst moms in movies, from Shirly MacLaine to Ally Sheedy to telekinesis to Goonies to even some animated bad Disney matriarchs. A quick discussion on the Oscars that just happened, and finally, #TwitterlessDrEarl gives his take on this year's SpirituEarl films -- Mary, Joseph, some musical numbers, and whatever crap Burgess tossed up.

We have all seen movies that have certain actors show up, and whether consciously or sub-, and we know the movie just got better... or the bad movie just got decent. Or the great movie just got great. Actors that make movies better.
Mikey, Dave, and #TwitterlessDrEarl invite in the Spawn of Ryfun, the pride of TyTy, Georgia, Lil G, Garrison Ryfun to discuss those very actors.
First up, a little Word Up, finding out who thinks what about J-Lo & A-Rod... the impact of Disney+ Marvel movies... and predictions on move box offices.
Then, a list of the ladies who we love to see show up in films, some character actresses, some GuGu, some Garfunkel & Oates, and which Mara is better. And Kristy McNicol.
We have all seen movies that have certain actors show up, and whether consciously or sub-, and we know the movie just got better... or the bad movie just got decent. Or the great movie just got great. Actors that make movies better.
Mikey, Dave, and #TwitterlessDrEarl invite in the Spawn of Ryfun, the pride of TyTy, Georgia, Lil G, Garrison Ryfun to discuss those very actors.
First up, a new game called Just Watch, guessing the cast of random movies featured in the app. Then, a list of the guys who we love to see show up in films, some character actors, and even some "guys we'd watch in anything" names. And none are named Will Patton.
It's been a while since The Deucecast Movie Show crew -- Mikey, Dave, and #TwitterlessDrEarl round up all of the films seen in the last four or five weeks and get ready to spill the beans on their reviews. Dave lists his 23 films, Dr Earl gives his five or six, while Mikey presents another list of around 78 movies (some of which he never even mentions... just too much...)

It's been ten long, crazy years and 1000s of movies, lots of video games, several third wheel co-hosts and 475 episodes, it's The Deucecast Movie Show's 10th Anniversary! Mikey, Dave, and #TwitterlessDrEarl ring in the next decade with an episode that looks at the best films of 2011!
First, Birthday Movies return, with the films released 5, 10, 15, 20 and more years ago in April of those years - Along Came a Spider, Primal Fear, Out for Justice and Bad News Bears is how old?

And then, the Top Ten Fave Films of 2011, as ranked by your hosts. From documentaries about tort reform to MMA movies to baseball sabremetrics to Marvel superheroes to how to get into the Dune canon.
Plus, stick around to the end for a little soundbyte of the beginning.
And thanks to RetroZap for keeping us around for five years, and to all of our listeners for 10 years of listening!!
The Deucecast Movie Show crew has returned after a week off, and they are ready to rumble when it comes to movies. First up, Mikey, Dave, and #TwitterlessDrEarl take a look at the recent Oscar nominations and give their thoughts -- surprises, expectations, snubs, and a few predictions.
Next, a longer discussion on the recent release of the four hour Zack Snyder's Justice League, how it's better, some of the differences, and thoughts on the Josstice League by comparison.
Then, an episode long round of See This Not That, looking at 15 members of the Zack Snyder's Justice League cast and picking for each a movie to "See This" and then a movie to "Not That", from JK Simmons to Robin Wright to Diane Lane to Jason Mamoa (and even a little Jason MaNO-AH). And of course, Dave's girlfriend, Amy Adams.
Sprinkled amongst the listings are this year's Deucie Award nominations - Popcorn Movie, Animated Feature, Drama, Comedy, Acting nods, Director, Picture and all of those. The 8th annual Deucie Awards commence in just a few weeks.
Finally, the movies for watching, assigned to #TwitterlessButNotDiscordlessDrEarl, for this year's SpirituEarl... films with a religious or Christian bend to the them, movies he will watch and report back on in a few weeks.
It's a busy spring break week for everyone as Mikey is busy eating and #TwitterlessDrEarl is in Long Island testifying at a lint removal procedure gone wrong trial and Dave is out of the state, so rather than trying to get a rushed show together, they guys are taking the week off.
This week, the show pays homage to our good friends over at TechnoRetro Dads, who's own show is ending. This Deucecast Classic is from May 2018, episode 327. Enjoy the old school vibe, and here are the original show notes from that episode:
It's a couple of guys who keep their heads in the clouds and gaze at the stars, so it's only fitting that Dave and Mikey discuss Fantasy and Science Fiction films. But since #Twitterless Dr Earl can't be found (he's doing a lint removal procedure from the naval of poor kids in Long Island), who better to invite onto the show than the TechnoRetro Dads themselves, Shazbazzar and Jedi Shuuuuuuuuaaaaahhhhhh....
*And the gang jumps right in, counting off their lists of what they consider to be their favorite fantasy/sci-fi films of this century... that's really anything released on January 1st, 2000, until... well, you know, today. Or the day of the recording, anyway.
The TRD's also give their take on "Ready Player One" before diving into the Top Ten, then the guys discuss at length -- and at depth -- the legacy and their adoration of films like "Children of Men" and the newest "Star Trek" and newer "Star Wars" films and Shaz defends "John Carter" while Dave defends "Lady in the Water".
Its a great two hours of sci fi fantasy fun and movie love!*
In the latest The Deucecast Movie Show, the guys take a look at American classics. It's a broad definition, but Dave, Mikey, and #TwitterlessDrEarl apply their movie mastery to make it happen.
Along the way, they reel in co-host of A Good Day for a Movie Podcast Roth from Wyoming, to talk a little about his favorite films and his podcast, and then a rousing round of Denzel!
Finally, a top five list of American Classics... movies made in our country, with a solid American cast, movies that define a little America in every scene.

First up, Dave and Mikey give their review on the new Disney film "Raya & the Last Dragon"... while the award winning #TwitterlessDrEarl nods approvingly. Then, a little round of the Rotten Tomatoes Game.
Finally, the Top Five list of fave Natural Disaster movies -- not man made, not alien created, but just weather conditions and space gone mad. Everything from animal crackers on Liv Tyler's stomach to overturned ships to Deus ex Rockina, its all the disasters you could need.

It's been a while since the Deucecast eyes were cast upon filling the Big Bracket, but Dave, Mikey, and #TwitterlessDrEarl is here to bring it back.
The Frat Pack is the legendary group of actors from the early 2000s that gave us incredible classics like Old School, Wedding Crashers, Zoolander, Dodgeball, and many more, starring names like Vince, Owen, Ben, Luke, Ferrell, Jack, Rudd, Carrell... and it's time to take four of them and match them up, knock them down, and crown a single champion -- a champion that moves onto the Big Bracket of All Time Great Movie Roles.
Vince Vaughn (Peter, Raj, Jeremy, Bradley) takes on Ben Stiller (Derek, Mr Furious, Larry, White) takes on Owen Wilson (McQueen, John, John, Burnett) takes on Luke Wilson (he was in stuff), all mixed up -- 44 roles, only one will survive.
If you remember shopping at Waldenbooks and Suncoast Movies, picking up pizza at Sbarro, and maybe checking out a round of a local TV dating show, then this is the episode for you. Mikey and Dave invite in Friend of the Show, Miss Independent Jeremy Burgess, to take a look at malls in movies.
First, Burgess gives a few movies from the indie scene to keep an eye out on, then the latest on the Don't Die campaign for the making of the upcoming film.
Then, the crew gives their Top Five Mall Scenes... memorable moments taking place in the shopping hearts of American -- racing through the malls... staring at 3D pictures... Killbots... fight scenes... growing up... and much more.
Then, the assignments for the Annual Burgentine's Day Rom Com Chick Flick Adventure are in!

It's the Top 10 of NOT 2020, ranking the best films seen that didn't come out in the last 12 months. And to add to the group, The Offspring of the Pride of Stone Mountain South Georgia, Lil G, Garrison Ryfun joins the show to take his rightful place as #DrEarl's Pretentawan Learner.
Several foreign films make the list as the guys get bougee... lots of old films on the list, as the crew pretends to be important... and of course, everyone cuts Footloose. A little Korean cinema talk... some Lily James news... Armie Hammer did what?... Mikey's Studio Ghibli kick... Lil G's fave zombie movie...

The Deucecast Movie Show strives to be an escape and the guys do their best this week to shut out the world for an hour and give you some movie chatter... and this time, it's all about being surprised, delighted, or in some cases, both.
Movies that were thought to be a little silly, or movies approached with apprehension because "Surely, this movie can't be any good?" and yet, IT WAS!
First up, some January Birthday Movies, giving you the five, ten, twenty more year anniversaries of films you've heard of... and some you haven't. Cause that The Way Back ain't got no Affleck in it.
A little round of January Movie Rotten Tomatoes, with a Christian Slater triple play, and then the top five... the films that Mikey, Dave, and #TwitterlessDrEarl watched and were happy to report were actually pretty good.
It's a fun episode, revisiting the good times in front of a screen of some sort... and the kickoff to the annual Year End Best Episodes!
The new year is here and it closes a Christmas holiday season... and in the interim, the Deucecast Movie Show crew saw a lot of movies. A lot of movies. Like, a lot a lot.
Jumping right in, ReFlicktions kicks off with the heaviest film of the night, "Promising Young Woman", and the tour de force performance of Carey Mulligan... then onto Mikey's Bruce Willisathon (not to be confused with the Nic Cageathon or Toyotathon)... Dr Earl's run of classic Christmas films... d$'s list of good and bad documentaries... Alabama stereotypes... seeing WW84 in theaters vs on the small screen... Pixar's latest...

For the 5th year in a row, the final episode of the year for The Deucecast Movie Show is the Lumps of Coal episode... the movies that... well, weren't the best or the favorites of Mikey, Dave, or #TwitterlessDrEarl.
A top five of films -- or in some cases, production teams or Hollywood battles -- that didn't come anywhere near the crew's favorite films seen in 2020. Including Vin's lack of range... a Scott Baio film that would never pass in this century... another Disney franchise failure... Nic Cage's lack of karate skills... John Turturro's lack of bowling scenes... and much more.
Plus, a quick discussion on the CBS Mini-Series The Stand and a few words about Wonder Woman 1984
If you listen to the episode, you may recognize the opening theme, the best time of the year, when the Deucecast Movie Show plays the official Christmas theme of the show. It truly is a Marshmallow World.
Dave, Mikey, and #TwitterlessDrEarl are here once again to give out their annual Christmas gifts to the stars, and joining the show for the first time in the Christmas season, it's Spawn of Ryfun, Lil G himself Garrison Ryfun.
First up, Birthday movies, with everything from Popeye to a previous Star War edition, then Garrison gives a little Christmas episode history of the Deucecast Movie Show (he has notes!)
Then the guys begin to give out the gifts! Chris Nolan has a present to open. The tiny town of New Albanwick has a gift. AMC will get something under the tree. And for the first time, someone in the group gives their gifts to the others during the Top Five itself.
It's another week closer to Christmas, as the Deucecast crew -- Mikey, Dave, and #TwitterlessButNotDiscordDrEarl -- get ready for the big visit from Santa...
But first, out of nowhere, Disney dropped an almost four hour meeting on everyone last week called Disney Investor Day, and out of that came dozens of titles, series, movies, and projects upcoming in the next few years. So who better to break it all down for you than these guys, plus Friend of the Show Upon a Star Jenn, direct from Amish Country.
Marvel shows and movies... Star Wars new series, spin-offs and films... Pixar's new projects and films coming up... Disney Animation's 59th and 60th films in Disney canon, plus their new animated series and projects...
Plus, chatting about The Mandalorian... the movie A Ghost Story... and all the other randomness that comes with nerddom.
It's the end of the year and the Christmas season is smacking your face... and the Deucecast dudes will do their best to give you the movies to watch when you're trying to get away from the in-laws and the kids.
First, a quick conversation on the Warner Brothers plans to premiere movies on HBO Max and theaters on the same day -- the upside and the consequences, and the future of theaters.
Then, over 25 movies discussed and reviewed, including crap in a documentary... Mikey's Christmas viewing... Judy Garland's lyric change... old school Hitchcock... K-Stew... 70s pop culture references... dueling Austen flicks... and much more...

First up, a quick round of Box Office Mojo, calling out the biggest money makers released in Decembers past.
Then, The Top Five Most Anticipated December Films -- not the best or worst December films that the guys have seen, but the movies that left them the most excited, and the most ready to see. Some films worked out (Rogue One!) and some didn't (Hobbits!) and many fell in between.

Hail to the Chief, he's the Chief that we all Hail! Mikey and Dave, sans #TwitterlessDrEarl this time, jump right in with an episode long version of Like, Love, Hate, Hate-Like. The concept is to take various Movie Presidents - those who have played the POTUS in a film or two, and come up with a movie that the guys both just like.... then a film the guys love... then one they pretty much can't stand... and finally, a movie they kinda hate themselves for liking.

It's a big week at The Deucecast Movie Show... no, not because of some election thing, but because another episode is dropping! Mikey, Dave, and #TwitterlessDrEarl take a look at movies that deserved a second chance.
First up, Birthday Movies! Toy Story! Harry Potter! Star Wars! Rocky! Transylvania 6-5000! What movies are turning 5, 10, 15 and 20 years old or more.
Next up... a little game called Rotten Tomatoes Potpourri, tossing up movies and predicting the Rotten Tomatoes scores
Finally, those movies that you watched and didn't care for, but upon a rewatch, kinda dug... or those movies you liked well enough, but the 2nd time around, really got into. These are "Second Chance Movies" that the crew lists today.
Movies from DC... The Muppets... horror comedies and Tarantino joints... Pixar failures... and men of Mystery. Along the way, some great chatter on the rising of the DC Cinematic Universe... the movie that is SOLO: A Star Wars Story... and how some animated films get an undeserved bad rap... plus, #TwitterlessButNotDiscordlessDrEarl's corner turn on a Christmas classic, Mikey's dawn of justice and d$'s getting out.

Happy Halloween to all the movie lovers and scaryphiles out there from The Deucecast Crew! Mikey, Dave, and #TwitterlessDrEarl serve up their favorite Halloween Guilty Pleasures. The movies that... well, at least for Mikey and Dave... are not really scary, are sort of hokey, maybe kinda stupid, but oh so much fun anyway.
And of course, in the pretentious corner, #TwitterlessButNotDiscordlessDrEarl can't bring himself to talk about guilty pleasures, so somehow, his movies are actually good.
First up, Mikey gives a quick review of Liam Neeson's new flick "Honest Thief", then Dave laments the loss of a small college town theater.
Then a new game called SUBTITLES, guessing the terrible franchises that the even more terrible sequels are named, followed by the aforementioned the Guilty Pleasures list, and then, the 7th iteration of MikeTober, where Mikey has watched and gives reviews on horror flicks assigned by Lil G (some Korean joint) and #TwitterlessButNotDiscordlessDrEarl (some 70s joint) and Burgess (some 90s joint) and Scott Ryfun (some Roadkill joint) and a masterpiece of old cinema assigned by Dave.

The Deucecast Movie Show is a show that bites... or sucks? Either way, Mikey, Dave, and #TwitterlessDrEarl are looking for another entry into the Big Bracket of Movie Roles -- and they need a vampire.
So during the episode, the guys -- and a very special guest -- go match by match, discussing winners and losers in each round of Hollywood Vampires, including at least 9 performances of Dracula.

Oldman's Dracula vs Langella's Dracula

The Deucecast guys round the corner and are less than a year's worth of episodes to the big 500... coming next September! But until then, Mikey, Dave, and #TwitterlessDrEarl have to give the world the four hundred and fiftieth episode!
Joining the show at the top is Miss Independent himself, Jeremy Burgess, to give the update first on "Jasper Mall", the 2020 documentary that is the favorite to win Best Doc at the 2021 Deucie Awards... then an update on fundraising for the new movie "Don't Die".
Then a new game, "You Never Forget Your First" with a look at the first roles of many of the biggest stars in Hollywood, plus Eric Roberts.
Then, the Top Five Best Breakthroughs in Film, including Earl's pretention... Burgess picking some new blood... an old flame for Mikey... a controversial pick from d$... and a riff on how popular "American Flyers" actually was. No, we know, you have never heard of it either.
And finally, the movie selection for the annual MikeTober Horror Movie Revue!
While Mikey is saving the world, Dave is saving the magic, and #TwitterlessDrEarl is saving a life like a Fray song, the gang decided it would be easier to repost a classic episode this week. This time, it hails from December 2016, episode 255, with Friend of the Show Jennifer Kaufman on board.
Here are the main show notes from that episode:
*The guys welcome in Friend of the Show and Disney Media Mogul Jennifer Kaufman to talk all about their favorite guilty pleasures full of cheer!
First up, birthday movies! 2001 was a huge year, apparently, and "The Good, the Bad & the Ugly" is how old??
Then a little Box Office Mojo, figuring out what the top domestic box office movies are for the year 2016.
And then, the Christmas movies that aren't good... but are beloved. Movies with Santa and Katie Heigl and The Ref and Vince Vaughn and Rankin & Bass and the difference in Arthur and Arthur and more bad Nic Cage and reindeer and Reindeer Games...
And... Care Bears. So much Care Bears talk...*
An episode of the Deucecast Movie Show with a twinge of queso and salsa, Mike, Dave, and #TwitterlessDrEarl all take a look at some great films from South of the Border.
First up, a quick round of Rotten Tomatoes Potpourri, calling out the critics scores of classics like A Fistful of Dollars, and Weird Science and so on. Then, the guys pick their fave films starring those in the Mexican community... a Hispanic cast... a plot revolving around Mexican scenery... anything that relates to our neighbors to the South!
While #TwitterlessDrEarl is living out a real life Fray song by saving lots of lives, Mikey and Dave take the show on their own in a special "prerecorded a week or two ago to drop in when needed like now when Dave just got back from Cancun" version of the show.
This week is Islands in the Streaming, the 7th iteration of such, as the guys give you their takes on the best movies streaming in various categories from Animation to Kids & Family to Sci Fi to Drama and more, and all are available on your streaming services.

- Athlete A (Netflix)

It's the Annual Event of the Summer, the bomb dot com as it were, where Dave watches the five films assigned to him by the rest of the Deucecast crew and Friends of the Show.
First up, Mikey, Dave, and #TwitterlessButNotDiscordlessDrEarl catch up on reviewing all the films seen in recent weeks, then Dave reviews The Black Hole (Scotty Ryfun's pick)... Attack the Block (Spawn of Ryfun's pick)... El Gringo (from Mikey)... 1941 (Dr Earl)... and Ronin (From Burgey)
As 2020 rolls on, the hits keep on coming, and The Deucecast Crew -- Mikey, Dave, and #TwitterlessButNotDiscordlessDr Earl just roll with them.
First, a quick look at "New Mutants" and the reopening of theaters. Then, the guys address the gut punch that happened over the weekend... the death of Chadwick Boseman.
Discovering the news from a tweet, the guys talk about the untimely passing of Boseman, and his great movie roles and legacy.
Finally, it what seems like something not nearly important, yet entertaining, the guys give their top five movies with the largest gap between critics score and audience score on Rotten Tomatoes... familiar topics like Kevin Smith movies to less critically acclaimed, yet audience fave films from Alex Kendrick. #TwitterlessButNotDiscordlessDrEarl even expresses his admiration for David Spade, while Dave loves The Rock wielding a 2x4, and Mikey quotes Chaucer...
Stick around for one final Chadwick Boseman nod.

Another Movie Role Tourney is here! Mikey, Dave, and #TwitterlessButNotDiscordlessDrEarl have sent at least 14 movie roles to the Big Bracket (coming soon... maybe 2023?) Characters like Indiana Jones and Uncle Buck and Iron Man and more... but now its time to add one from a comedy legend.
First up, the guys play a new (to them) game of Doug Benson's IMDb (because he is D.B.), and then they take on the best roles of the legendary Bill Murray. From Ghosbusters to Groundhog Day to Mad Dog & Glory to all the Wes Anderson films.
Match up by match up, one by one, until there is a single Best Bill Murray Role of All Time, headed to the Big Bracket.
Plus... the real time struggle of putting together a show at the last minute as Dave doubles back and somehow makes the tournament work...
After the Deucecast Crew -- Mikey, Dave, & #TwitterlessButNotDiscordlessDrEarl -- did the Best of the Worst of the 1970s, as well as the 90s, 00s, and 10s in previous episodes, it was time to wrap up the series with the one decade untouched... The 1980s.
Such a show can only be done with the right kind of guest, someone who can speak to the most enjoyable crap the 1980s has to offer -- none other than the RetroZap Podfather RetroJoe Tavano, calling in from his Massachusetts Mobile Studio.
First up, the first edition of Rotten or Notten, picking which film is on the good side of 60% and which one is below it. Then, the guys give their list of good bad movies, including some gross trading cards... Corey & Corey... the glaive... Yeardley Smith, Casey Siemaszko, and Terry O'Quinn... Bad Tom Cruise... Jon Bon Jovi's Blaze of Glory... Fair is Fair... and so much more.

It's been a summer of movies... and perhaps not much else, which means Dave, Mikey, and #TwitterlessDrEarl have a massive amount to talk about in this month's ReFlicktions. Over 40 films are talked about here, with discussions ranging from the careers of Daveed Diggs and Lin-Manuel Miranda to HBO not streaming properly to two of the worst films Mikey has seen in a long time, to Dave finishing his Elizabeth Olsen quest to why Viola Davis didn't like "The Help"

If you have ever listened to The Deucecast Movie Show, you'll know they celebrate great movies. And they celebrate bad movies too. And after giving the Best of the Worst of the 2010s (with Lil G Ryfun), and Best of the Worst of the 2000s (With Kaufman & Upon a Star Jenn), and Best of the Worst of the 90s, it's time to go all the way back to the age of Disco and look at the greatest, favoritist flops of the 1970s.
First up, Dave, Mikey, and #TwitterlessDrEarl invite in the legend, the famous, the infamous, award winning Voice of Cobb County, Scotty Ryfun! They play a spirited round of Denzel, then turn their attention to the Top Five at Hand.
The Best movies of the Worst movies of the 1970s, all movies coming in at 49% or under on the Rotten Tomatoes TomatoMeter... plus some deep discussions on George Lucas' involvement in bad sequels... who really ran USA UP All Night...

The summertime rolls on and in this world, all we have is our friends... including our sidekicks! Mikey, Dave, and #TwitterlessDrEarl welcome back the Pride of Stone Mountain, Georgia, Lil G, the Podawan Learning, the Spawn of Ryfun, young Garrison.
First up, a few birthday movies, including the year that gave us not only Joe Dirt 2, but also Pixels, then the anniversary of Fantastic Four (not that one, that one), Apollo 13, Red Sonja, and the film that made Bo Svenson a star.
Then a round of Word Up!, giving the word on Marvel movie movement... the concern over tentpole films... seeing Empire Strikes Back's big success... and of course, the real definitive movie of the 90s (hint: probably not Twister).
And then, the best movie comedic Sidekicks! Disney movies, The Pink Panther, Stanley Spedowski, Noonan!, and much more. And Mikey tries to put forth another ridiculous entry into a Top Five.

Because America rules, it's another episode of The Deucecast Movie Show! Last week, Dave, Mikey, and #TwitterlessDrEarl, with special guest Lil G Ryfun, the pride of South TyTy Georgia, gave their lists of the most patriotic roles in movies... and a funny thing happened -- they all seemed to be dudes.
So what better way to reconcile this blunder than to do an all female list of patriotic roles, which, like last week, is really just a list of awesome American characters in films that all the guys decided to dub "patriotic", but #Merica anyway.
First up, though, a rousing game of Ryan Phillippe, with everyone from Sigourney Weaver to one Christopher Pratt being called out.
Then, the list, which includes Mikey's total misunderstanding (and defense of Padme)... #TwitterlessDrEarl goes old school again... who won what award in Hidden Figures and The Help... Lil G Ryfun squeezes in a Nolan... Emily Blunt gets double action... an Amy Adams discussion and it's not from d$... and much more.

This year's July 4th has come and gone, but the guys at the Deucecast want to still celebrate America in the movies and the best way to do that is to give their list of the best patriotic characters in film. Dave, Mikey, and #TwitterlessDrEarl bring in Little G, coming in from New Brunscross, GA, to give the top five patriotic roles in movies.
Up first, a Rated R version of Box Office Mojo, then followed by the Top Five... including discussions on Young Indiana Jones... Jay Underwood... #TwitterlessDrEarl gets serious about justice... Mikey lauds the Jewel, the Stone, the Nile, and the Romance... Little G harkens the first mention of soccer legend Pele on the show... lots of Patriot titles... Dave picks the wrong Kirk... and much more.

Another few weeks have gone by in summer months, and another pile of movies to get through. And the crew to do it are the Deucecast Movie Show hosts, Mikey, Dave, and #TwitterlessDrEarl.
Amongst the many topics of discussion include the legacy of Delroy Lindo... the repetitive Delta Force theme... young Scott Baio movies... Burgess recommendations... #TwitterlessDrEarl experiences The Dude... Nick Swardson's affect on a movie... Mikey hates Pete Davidson... #TwitterlessDrEarl experiences a mid-sommar break... bad Disney movies... Dave loves him some Kevin James... and of course, much more. Plus the Top Five of the year so far!

It's another episode of The Deucecast Movie Show, this time, a very special episode. But unlike the "very special episodes" of the 80s where kids are put into uncomfortable situations, Mikey, Dave, and #TwitterlessDrEarl pay off a promise from earlier in the year.
Back in February, episodes 418 and 419, Burgess joined the team to do two "Decade By Genre" shows, giving the top three of multiple categories, with intentions of doing a full Top Ten of the 2010s. Then, as you may have guessed, the world went crazy then shut down, and as the guys went to the four corners of the wind to do the show, the topic got shelved.
Finally, however, The Top 10 of the 2010s is here!
First up, the return of Birthday Movies, with everything from Minions to Crimson Tide to Animalypics to Psycho all celebrating release anniversaries, then a quick round of the Rotten Tomatoes Game, dedicated to the recently passed and prolific director Joel Schumacher.
And then, the list that took ten years to make -- any movie released at 12:01am on Jan 1, 2010 to 11:59pm on Dec 31, 2019 -- and the lists are all over the place -- comic book movies, action movies, missionary dramas, Nolan, Scorcese, Garland, Fincher, and much more. Great conversation about films that are talked about and beloved from the last ten years.

Flying Under the Radar is a delicate balance of being unknown but also being awesome. The Deucecast Movie Show is just like that too, so there is experience here.
And to celebrate being Under the Radar, Mikey, Dave, and #TwitterlessDrEarl bring in their fellow movie phile, the movie watcha from down unda', Aussie Nate, for a great discussion about the corn stereotype in Iowa... the fires in Australia... and life for Friend of the Show Aussie Nate.
Then a rousing game of Denzel, aka, Playa to Playa, Pimp to Pimp, and finally, the topic of the day -- movies that fell under the radar... good films that no one talks about anymore or many people may have forgotten about completely.
Great hidden gems that were huge at the time and tossed asunder now -- Bolt! Money Talks! Jackie Brown! -- or maybe were never big at all before being asunder tossed -- Mean Machine? Thunder Road?

The Deucecast Movie Show loves its classic films and masterpiece films and favorite films... but there are also those particular movies that no matter how good or bad they are, the channel isn't getting turned at all once its on. And Mikey, Dave, and #TwitterlessDrEarl have just such a Top Five.
First up, the co-host of the Sandcrawler Podcast, Michael "Shine Sweet Freedom" "Keep Forgettin" "Takin' It to the Streets" MacDonald, aka Mac, joins the show for a great discussion about Star Wars Collectibles -- how to price, how to seek, the "white whale" of the collectors arena -- and then presenting his latest find (it's a dandy). Mac is making his first appearance in two years, having joined the show in Ep 333, "Canadian Bacon"
Then a new game where the words in the titles add up (and where Dave fails miserably), then a top five on movies that we just can't stop watching when they are on. When you flip channels, see the movie, and you go there... and no matter where you are at what point in the movie, you keep it there to watch part if not the rest of the film. Some blockbusters, some personal faves, some old classics, and some modern day hits.

It's a Deucecast Justice League of sorts, as Mikey, Dave, and #TwitterlessDrEarl meet to discuss DC Comics made into films. Being mostly Marvel guys, it was time to look across the aisle to the other company and the other films.
And to do that, they needed to bring an expert, the co-host of the DC Talk Podcast... and the Caped Chronicles Podcast... and the Mikes Movie Minute Podcast... AND the Previously on Lost Podcast... Mike Ellis, aka, the newly christened DC Mike joins the show to talk all things DC.
A great discussion about the good and bad of Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice... Jesse Eisenberg's portrayal of Lex... the overall status of the DC Cinematic Universe... and much more.
The guys play a ridiculous new game called "Name By Name", asking them to name any actor in a DC movie. Any actor. In any DC movie. And as you'd expect, it goes completely off the rails. You'd want nothing less.
Then the guys give their Top Five Fave DC Films... a great chat about Dark Knight... the love of BvS... Dave's obsession with the The Losers... the vision that is Gal Godat... Defending the Martha scene... Supes new powers... Katie vs Maggie... the DC Animated movie series

The summer isn't quite here yet, but the weather is warming up, the sun is getting brighter, and in lieu of a Summer Movie Preview, the Deucecast crew has hashtag goals. It's the summer movie goals, by Mikey, Dave, and #TwitterlessDr Earl, each with their list of cinema focused tasks to accomplish between now and September.
First up, a round of Box Office Mojo, looking at the few movies that actually made money in 2020, then the guys list their goals.... catching up on a movie missed, or re-watching a classic, or watching a longer version of a movie seen before... chasing a director... chasing an actor... updating a movie list... and of course, the Nintendo Power Glove.
In what feels like Quarantine Episode 1003, the Deucecast Movie Show crew joins together via another Zoom meeting to discuss another draft... this time, not just the "Hey! It's That Guy!'s , but also the "Hey, its That Girl!'s as well." Mikey, Dave, and #TwitterlessDrEarl bring in the young, heavy hitter, Spawn of Ryfun, Every since he was a Lowercase G (But now he's a big G) from Southeast Georgia, Garrison.
After the drafts that saw each of the guys build their movie studio with actors, then actresses, then directors, it's time to fill the studio with the supporting casts.
To determine who goes first, a few rounds of Exhibition Denzel commences, before a real elimination style Denzel match ensues.
Among some of the draft picks, John Wick's butler... a Disney voice over legend... Ben Affleck's Gone sister... Friday Night Kyle... a few that can be argued shouldn't be there... and that CCH Pounder lady...
Plus the revelation that "Grand Daddy Daycare" exists.
Perhaps some of the country is opening again, but the Deucecast guys have never closed, back again for another week of ReFlicktions, with all the movies seen in the last few weeks. Mikey is better living through chemistry on some painkillers for a kidney stone, Dave from the office with the kid who keeps appearing, and #TwitterlessDrEarl ready to lay out his huge list of films.
Among the Topics:
The rise and fall and fall and fall of Travolta's career... Sully's boring life... a doc that Dave loves... #TwitterlessDrEarl isn't impressed with classic horror... Mikey takes on the docs... weird Netflix flicks... classic Gene Hackman... tennis flicks... cleaning out the DVR... and more Gerard Butler

In the new episode of The Deucecast Movie Show, the guys 'fess up about the things they are passionate about when it comes to movies. Mikey, Dave, and The Twitterless One, #TwitterlessDrEarl brings up those things in movies they "mark out for". From the Urban Dictionary: When you "mark out", you stand up for something or believe something completely. Believing something completely.
And to help the guys mark out, they bring in a Friend of the Show who always marks out for The Deucecast, Miss Independent himself, Jeremy Burgess.
First up, a game of Rotten Tomatoes, checking out movies all about spring -- call out your score, whoever is closer (over or under) and get the point.
And then the crew looks at the directors, actors, genres, scenes, tropes and more they "mark out for", or "stan" for, or even as #TwitterlessDrEarl would say, "find groovy, the bees knees, the cat's pajamas"... media movies... legendary logos... superstar deaths... and getting nekkid. Just listen. You'll get it.
In these uncertain times, it's important to embrace what you truly love -- bad movies. And leave it to Mikey, Dave, and #TwitterlessDrEarl to bring you the best. The Best of the Worst.
After doing the Best of the Worst films of the 2010s with Lil G Ryfun (Ep 377) and 1990s (Ep 389), it was time to do Best of the Worst films, as dictated by a Rotten Tomatoes score of 50% or less... and to get the perspective of the fairer kind, the Jennifers make a return... Jennifer Kaufman and Jennifer Novotny both join the show!
First up, to celebrate the release weekend anniversary of Avengers Infinity War and Endgame, an MCU themed version of IMDb, naming the movie roles of those in the MCU...
Then the trash that we love, movies that rank low on RT but high in our hearts, from Orlando Jones getting shoved up an alien's bum to Britney Spears hitting a cross road to a Star Wars mission road trip to #TwitterlessDrEarl surprising everyone with his Scooby Doo love.
Plus, what happened to Julia Robert's best role in the Julie Bracket... Doctor Aphra... love for Favreau... Va-poo-rizers... M Night's folly... Dim Sum... Richard Pryor's bad Toys... Robin Williams bad Toys... the J-Lo Triumverate..

Another week, another episode from Quarantine Central, and Mikey, Dave, and #TwitterlessDrEarl. First up, a random game of See This Not That with 80s movie stars... and to bring in more movies and more opinions, it's the pride of St. Simon's Island, Georgia, that being Scottie Ryfun... and what's better than one Ryfun? Ice cream. But in lieu of having ice cream, how about another Ryfun? Lil G Ryfun returns again (and even has his pic on the website!)

In these times, it's important to take time to be safe and healthy, but sometimes you need just a little more security in your earholes. Which is why The Deucecast Movie Show guys -- Mikey, Dave, and #TwitterlessDrEarl -- are bringing the world a list of "Comfort Movies"... movies that just make you feel good, or that you've seen so many times, it's a total escape to watch.
But to truly provide the comfort you may need, the DCMS brings on the dulcet tones of Friend of the Show Clay Shaver! Back again to show up the crew with his awesome style, the show catches up with the old friend, bragging a little on the Spawn of Clay and her record making track style, as well as getting the latest COVID news from up north.
Then, in a game played for the first time since Episode 350 (Oct 2018), a rousing round of Reel or Unreel, as Dave calls out the movie description and Mikey, Clay, & #TwitterlessDrEarl have to decipher what is... well, real... or unreal...
And finally, the topic at hand, Comforting Films. Those movies that just make you feel good, that you can enjoy at any point in these troubled times. From a Jesus musical to a Nic Cage drama to retrieving a baseball to the movie that stole the Oscar from "Enchanted".
