Episode 328: Avenging May ReFlicktions

The summer is in full swing, with Dave, Mikey & Dr Earl taking a look at movies seen recently, and invite in Friend of the Show Hurricane Rhett, with a special appearance by Producer Tommy.

The episode kicks off with Birthday Movies, including celebrating release days by such amazing cinematic appearances like Sliver, Black Dog and The Lizzie McGuire Movie

Then, a quick review of movies watched in the last few weeks, including Chappaquiddick, Thief, Wind River, Breakin 2: Electric Boogaloo, The Perfect Score... The Week Of... The Runner... Andre the Giant... Kodachrome... Tragedy Girls... 78/52... Brad's Status... Score: A Film Music Documentary... Una... Hitman's Bodyguard...

The crew gives their Top Five of the Year so far, and a heads up is given before spoilers.

And of course, a full review of Avengers: Infinity War, with comic book legacy, various deaths, character movies, pronouncing "Heimdale", likes, dislikes, Thanos as a sympathetic villain, the ending, where the next movie may go and all of that and such.

FINALLY... a random in-depth discussion on the future of the Star Wars cinematic universe.

Episode 327: Sci Fi Fantasy Films of This Century

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!

Episode 326: Weddings in Movies

Another edition of The Deucecast Movie Show walks down the podcasting aisle, with Mikey and Dave inviting in The Long Intro-less, Twitterless Dr Earl.  Because Producer Shawn finally got hitched recently, the crew thought it would be fun to talk weddings in movies, both full films and scenes too.

What better way to do that than to invite in the Delightful Jennifer Kaufman, courtesy of the Binder & Binder hotline.

And what better way to talk about wedding movies than to talk about... Kaufman's former podcast The Delightful Life, local soccer teams, soccer rules, hockey rules and more, including a quick debate on the pros & cons of the hockey shootout. 

A new game premieres this episode, a game called "Bridget, Michelle or Kate"... who was in the movies called out?

Moving onto weddings, Dave, Kaufman and Mikey share their quick wedding stories (while Twitterless Dr Earl takes a nap), then onto the Top Five Movie Weddings.  From The Muppets Take Manhattan to Bridesmaids to Spaceballs to My Best Friends Wedding and more, the DCMS celebrates movie nuptials and more. 

And Kaufman hates The Princess Bride.  Still. 

Episode 325: The Tom Cruise Sweet 16 (aka Shirtless Volleyball with Ryfuns)

The Deucecast Movie Show jumps back into the bracket format again, this time with Tom Cruise movies!  Mikey and Dave invite in Twitterless Dr Earl, and get Waycross Bainswick Georgia's own Scott Ryfun. And the bonus Ryfun, Garrison, also joins in.

The guys match up Tom Cruise roles one by one, until there is only one remaining, with lots of discussions on Mission Impossible movies without the numbers... the Mimi Rogers years... Garrison saying "I haven't seen that" an awful lot... The Ron Kovic dilemma... and lots and lots of shirtless, sweaty volleyball.

And an Emilio Estevez sighting!
