The Deucecast Movie Show

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! These are the films discussed in the episode at the time of recording... no idea where all the extended editions are, but the originals are here, unless otherwise noted   The Abyss - STARZ in wet Almost Famous - STARZ in Fever Dogs Amadeus - for rental Apocalypse Now Redux - Netflix Blade Runner - HBO Max City Hunter - TubiTV Game of Death - STARZ in Hi Ya; TubiTV H8ful Eight extended - Netflix The Highlander - Amazon Prime; HBO Max; Peacock Interceptor - Netflix Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair - HBO Max The New World - for rental Once Upon a Time in America - Netflix Payback - unavailable Police Story 2 - HBO Max Southern Comfort - TubiTV Superman II: The Donner Cut - for rental The Tree of Life - for rental The Tuxedo - for rental Until the End of the World - unavailable Waterworld - STARZ in wet Zack Synder's Justice League - HBO Max

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...

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...

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.
