Episode 661: Wicked December ReFlicktions

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...
