DCMS Ep 650: Ooh Ooh Witchy Deucecast

 In the small but still somewhat cool milestone of our 650th episode, Mikey, d$, and #XLessDrEarl kick off the month of October with the first of three horror themed episodes -- which one, you ask?  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. From the animated to the partly animated/real life, to the scary freaky, to the comical... and even the sort of kind of but not really witches. 

Then, it's time for MikeTober, as Garrison "The Pride of Albany" Ryfun and Miss Independent Jeremy Burgess join d$ and Dr Earl in offering movies for Mikey to see -- and possibly be crowned the 2024 MikeTober Champ!

Episode 649: CHEERIO!!! Our List of British Cinema

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.

Then, a list of narratives, both classic and new, animated and documentary style and more -- the British films are coming!!
