The Deucecast Movie Show

 Welcome back to the summer! Father's Day has come and gone, and we are headed to the first official day of Summer, even though we are all burning up from the heat. And what can beat the heat?  MOVIES! A return to 2004, the year d$ got married, the year The Deuce as a physical apartment ended, and Roth From Wyoming was a wee teen... and #XLessDrEarl was also there too somewhere.

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...  Next week!  2000!!   Movies Discussed & Where to find them currently   Adventures of Buckaroo Bonzai (Amazon Prime; TubiTV) Amadeus (for rental) Beverly Hills Cop (AMC+) Dune (Netflix) Firestarter (for rental) Ghostbusters (for rental) Gremlins (TubiTV) Greystoke (for rental) Indiana Jones & the Temple of Doom (Disney+; Paramount+) The Karate Kid (for rental) Kidco (for rental) The Killing Fields (TubiTV) Muppets Take Manhattan (Disney+) The Neverending Story (TubiTV) Red Dawn (Amazon Prime; AMC+) Romancing the Stone (for rental) Sixteen Candles (HBO Max) The Terminator (MGM+; HBO Max) This is Spinal Tap (for rental) The Toxic Avengers (Amazon Prime; Peacock Premium) Voyage of the Rock Aliens (TubiTV)

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$, Mikey, and Friends of the Show Burgess and Garrison. Plus, top Five of the Year so far, and new film assignments.     The Accountant 2 (in theaters) Oklahoma City Bombing: An American Terror (Netflix) Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith (Disney+) Havoc (Netflix) Another Simple Favor (Amazon Prime) The Amateur (in theaters) A Deadly American Marriage (Netflix) Thunderbolts* (in theaters) G20 (Amazon Prime) Love Hurts (Peacock) Nonnas (Netflix) The Saint (Paramount+; MGM+) Sinners (in theaters) Charlie Verrick (for rental) Black Bag (Peacock Premium) Final Destinations: Bloodline (in theaters) The Long Good Friday (MAX; The Criterion Channel) A Single Shot (Amazon Prime; Peacock Premium) Wildcat (The Criterion Channel) The Gazebo (for rental) Memory (for rental) Holy Spider (Netflix)   InternationEarl Movies (alphabetized)    Embrace of the Serpent (Jeremy assigned) (Kanopy; Fandor) In Order of Disappearance (d$ assigned) (Amazon Prime) The Promised Land (Michael assigned) (Hulu) A Taxi Driver (Garrison assigned) (Amazon Prime; Peacock Premium)

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.  Movies Discussed:   Alien Romulus The Best Christmas Pageant Ever The Brutalist (for rental) The Doors Dune Part Two Flow (MAX) Furious: A Mad Max Saga The Ghost and the Darkness Heat (Netflix) IF  Jim Henson Idea Man (Disney+) Kiss Kiss Bang Bang The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare The Prince of Egypt Real Genius Rebel Ridge (Neflix) Sing Sing Spartan The Substance Thunderheart Tombstone Top Gun Top Gun Maverick Top Secret Val We Live in Time (MAX) Wildcat (Criterion Channel) Wild Robot Willow Wonderland

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.  Movies Discussed, and where they are streaming:   10 Cloverfield Lane (Amazon Prime; MGM+) 300 (Peacock Premium) The Batman (MAX) Dune Part Two (Netflix; MAX) Erin Brockovich (Netflix) Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (for rental) Everything Everywhere All At Once (MAX) The Grand Budapest Hotel (for rental) High Fidelity (Hulu) Inside Man (for rental) Isle of Dogs (Disney+) John Carter (Disney+) Joyeux Noel (for rental) Logan (Disney+) Memento (Amazon Prime; Peacock Premium) Panic Room (for rental)   The Place Beyond the Pines (for rental) Romeo Must Die (for rental) Spartan (for rental) Sunshine Cleaning (Amazon Prime; Peacock Premium; STARZ in Redheads) Waking Sleeping Beauty (Disney+) Watchmen (MAX) We Were Soldiers (for rental) While We're Young (for rental) Zootopia (Disney+)

The winds of March are upon us, and Spring is right around the corner... as is the latest Movie Preview!   Mikey has put forth hours and hours and hours of time copying and pasting, and now he, d$, and #XLessDrEarl are presenting all the movies you will want to see over the next few months! First, a quick recap of the Academy Awards... what they got right, what they got wrong, and did Zoe Saldana earn her trophy? Then, the birthday movies of 2020, 2015, 2010 and more -- as we enter the Five Years since the world (and theaters) shut down.  And even a mention of Baby Secret of the Lost Legend. Finally, the Spring Movie Preview with new flicks from Soderbergh and Cronenberg... Samara Weaving back onscreen... will Snow White actually succeed... Ben Affleck is back to do some more counting... Paul Rudd killing a unicorn... Statham back to do what Statham does... Alejandro and the No Bueno Day... Not that Havoc, this new Havoc... and does anyone actually like Blake Lively? Over 60 films are previewed!

The award season is here!  The Golden Globes are done. The DGAs and SAG Awards just happened. The BAFTAs and the Vibe Source Awards and the Blockbuster Movie Awards are finally completed - and of course the Academy Awards are this weekend!    And tonight, the nominations for the 12th Annual Deucie Awards are revealed, both at the beginning and end of the show!  And in between the nomination segments, it's all about the ReFlicktions... all the movies seen in the last few weeks, plus movie assignments.  Mikey, d$, and #XLessDrEarl discuss the latest in the MCU... SNL classics... bad Star Trek... divisive Zemeckis... gritty Gil Grissom... Nicholas Hoult continues to shine... Mark Wahlberg shaving his head... hot gelfling Anya Taylor-Joy... intimate Garfield & Pugh... Sean Penn being normal... Michael Keaton continuing to be great... Saoirse Ronan always being amazing... and of course, the newest MCU...  Here are the films discussed and where to find them streaming at time of recording:     This is the Tom Green Documentary (Amazon Prime) Ladies & Gentleman: 50 Years of SNL Music (Peacock) The Tournament (STARZ) I'm Still Here (in theaters) Star Trek: Section 31 (Paramount+) Here (Netflix) To Live and Die in LA (Amazon Prime) We Live in Time (MAX) Companion (in theaters) Heart Eyes (in theaters) You're Cordially Invited (Amazon Prime) Captain America Brave New World (in theaters) The Outrun (AppleTV+) The Order (for rental) Anora (for rental) Flow (MAX) Kind of Pregnant (Netflix) The Gorge (AppleTV+) Winner (Hulu) September 5 (Paramount+) Hard Truths (for rental) Paddington in Peru (in theaters) One Day in September (TubiTV; MGM+) The Only Girl in the Orchestra (Short Film on Netflix) The Monkey (in theaters) Elevation (MAX) Anuja (Short Film on Netflix) Flight Risk (in theaters) La Dolce Villa (Netflix) LaRoy Texas (MGM+) Goodrich (MAX) Strange Brew (TubiTV) Daddio (Netflix) The Hidden Fortress (MAX) Silver City (Peacock Premium; Amazon Prime; TubiTV) Here are the Young Men (Amazon Prime; Peacock Premium) After the Rehearsal (Criterion Channel) Kansas City (Amazon Prime)

 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. Here are the movies reviewed, and where to find them at the time of recording:   In the Land of Saints and Sinners You Better Watch Out (Lifetime Movie Network) A Complete Unknown (theaters) The Apprentice (rental) Nightbitch (Hulu) Super/Man: The Christopher Reeve Story (MAX) Sonic the Hedgehog 3 (theaters) Jim Henson: Idea Man (Disney+) NR24 (Netflix) The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim (Paramount+) Wallace and Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl (Netflix) Music by John Williams (Disney+) Challengers (Amazon Prime; MGM+) Thelma (Hulu) Wolfs (AppleTV) The Substance (rental) I Used to be Funny (Netflix) A Different Man (MAX) Les Miserables (The Criterion Channel) Kill ‘Em All 2 (Netflix) Darkness of Man (Hulu) Marlowe (Amazon Prime) Den of Thieves 2: Pantera (in theaters) Kneecap (Netflix) The Greatest Night in Pop (Netflix) Brats (Hulu) Yacht Rock (MAX) The Beach Boys (Disney+) Moana 2 (in theaters) The Brutalist (in theaters) Unfrosted (Netflix) A Real Pain (Hulu) Wicked (in theaters) Through a Glass Darkly (MAX; The Criterion Channel) Flow (for rental) Wolfman (in theaters) Back in Action (Netflix) Nickel Boys (in theaters) Maria (Netflix) Lee (Hulu)

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.  Movies discussed, and where to find them at time of recording:   Atlantics (Netflix) Bob Dylan: Don't Look Back (MAX; Criterion Channel) The Boys Next Door (Hallmark Movie Now) A Brighter Summer Day (Criterion Channel) Dirty Harry (for rental) Duck Soup (rental) Extreme Prejudice (rental) A Few Good Men (AMC+; rental) Frankenstein (rental) French Connection (rental) Gimme Shelter (MAX; Criterion Channel) Green Book (FXNow) Hang 'Em High (MGM+; TubiTV) Hearts of Darkness: A Filmmakers Apocalypse (rental) Into the Wild (Hoopla; rental) The Last of the Mohicans (rental) Magnolia (rental) Margin Call (Amazon Prime; TubiTV) Minari (rental) Modern Romance (rental) The Outlaw Josey Wales (rental) Priscilla (MAX) Safety Last (MAX) Seven Samurai (MAX; Criterion Channel) The Shawshank Redemption (AMC+) The Sunset Limited (MAX) State and Main (Amazon Prime) Stop Making Sense (rental) Suicide Kings (Amazon Prime; TubiTV) Taking of Pelham 1-2-3 (Hoopla; TubiTV; MGM+) Targets (Hoopla; rental) The Thing (Shudder; rental) The Three Musketeers (Plex; rental) Titanic (Paramount+) Tremors (Paramount+ on AppleTV; rental) Twelve Monkeys (rental) 2010: The Year We Make Contact (rental) While We're Young (rental) While You Were Sleeping (Disney+) Woman Under the Influence (MAX; The Criterion Channel)

 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.

The 2024 Christmas Gifts (and our Lumps of Coal!)

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!

Winter Movie Preview 2024

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!

 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.   And finally, a top five of movie elections -- and some are quite the stretch...      The American President (Peacock Premium) Bobby (Paramount+) The Campaign (rental) The Dark Knight (MAX) Dave (rental) Election (Paramount+;  MGM+) The Ides of March (rental) Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring (MAX) Napoleon Dynamite (Hulu: AMC+) Nashville (unavailable) No (rental) Primary Colors (rental) Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace (Disney+) Tanner '88 (unrelated to movies) Taxi Driver (Paramount+) The Thing (Paramount+) Weiner (Paramount+)  You're Not Elected Charlie Brown (unrelated to movies)

 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.  After a scary good game of Denzel, the crew jumps on the Top Five Haunted Houses lists!  Running down all the scariest places, freakiest basements, terrifying treehouses, horrifying clown rooms, mental motels, and much more.  Movies discussed and where they are streaming (at the time of recording)   The Amityville Horror (1979) - MAX The Amityville Horror (2017) - MAX  The Black Phone - Starz The Conjuring - MAX  The Devil's Backbone - Peacock Premium Ernest Scared Stupid - Hoopla; for rental Evil Dead II - AMC+; Shudder; Plex The Ghost & Mr Chicken - for rental The Haunting (1963) - MGM+; Tubi The Haunting (1999) - Paramount+; AMC+ Haunted Mansion - Disney+ House - MAX Paranormal Activity - MAX  Poltergeist - MAX Psycho - Netflix  Oculus - Paramount+;  The Others - for rental SCOOB! - MAX   The Shining - MAX  Stephen King's IT: Chapter One - MAX
