Episode LVI: Indiana Tommy & the Podcast Crusade

info@thedeucecast.com (The Deucecast) — Thu, 24 May 2012 22:13:57 PDT

Once again, its time. Its time for music. Its time for music. Its time for Drew. Its time... for... The Deucecast Episode LVI: Indiana Mikey and the Podcast Crusade!

Right off the bat, we drink a little... thats drinking some Vitamin Fizz, by the way, which is better than you might think. Jumping into the week, Mikey discusses his zoo adventures, Drew talks about his crazy weekend travels and d$ has more sleepy trouble with caring for an infant. We also riff on The B in Apt 23... Veep... the upcoming Hatfield & McCoys... James Doohan in Space... GI Joe's release date... and does Superman II hold up anymore?

Wil Wheaton becomes a topic of discussion, somehow... as does the trouble with Seal's lyrics... Cub Scouts, Webelos and Eagle Scouts... the trouble with Facebook and its possible legacy (AOL, anyone?)... and in a Nerd Alert, we answer the question, which is a higher ranking: A Star Trek Ensign, or a Star Trek Junior Grade?

Its a very music heavy episode, as Mikey's Music Crap takes on The Shins and John Mayer... d$ begins his five part Americana Series for The Buried Treasure with an acting legend... and our Big Three Favorite Soundracks include music from Pulp Fiction... You've Got Mail... Phenomenon... and The Crow. And in a "how did we get here", we go from Nelson to Nilsson to a Bible Study highjacking of "Peaceful Easy Feeling" by The Eagles.

Mikey also does the unthinkable, and craps all over John Williams and his music. Because the themes to Jaws, Indiana Jones, Star Wars and Forrest Gump sound exactly alike. Right? Right.

And next week, we welcome in Hurricane Rhett as we discuss The Big Three Worst Acting Performance Ever... Mikey has more crappy music... and Part II of The Buried Treasure Americana Series... thats all on The Deucecast Episode LVII: Indiana Dave & the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull!

Kicking things off right, we dive right into garage sales and Mikey's destruction of a family vacation by swindling a little kid to buy a jacked up VHS copy of Tron... Rhett begins his rants early with riffs on supermarket and fast food woes, mostly pretaining to those in lines who cannot seem to find the time to get their money ready... Demi Lovato is in the news again... Greys Anatomy Watch makes another appearance... Mikey brings up strong TV news... the problems with Glee and the love of Queen... Rhett's own love for "Brokeback Mountain"... d$ shares some Dreamworks Studios insight to the "Saving Private Ryan" vs "Shakespeare in Love" debacle at the Oscars... and d$ makes a teaser announcement on his own life...

Mike's Musical Crap continues with his highlight of the upcoming Schaeffer Crawfish Boil with another band no one has heard of, nor will know even after the festival is over...

Name That Crap brings forth the artistry and majesty of Joshua Kadison... Jon B... Hi-Five, who likes the way you kiss when you're playing the kissing game... and even more. Oh, and Greg Evigan.

Our Big Three centers around TV Moms... love is given all around to the likes of Maggie Seaver... Suzanne Somers... Patricia Heaton... Jill Taylor from Home Improvement... and even Lois Griffin!

The Good Doc Earl joins us next week as we do a huge Big Three... our favorite 80s movies. Says Mikey in an earlier text: I've got 70 movies on my list. I now have to whittle it down to a more comfortable, I dunno, 28 or so. That's next week on The Deucecast Episode LIII: Podcast Encounters of the Deuce Kind...

And our Big Three takes you on a bad movie journey with Top Great Casts in Bad Movies, with films like Oceans 12... Batman & Robin... K-Pax... and could Nothing But Trouble really be that bad? Yes.

Tonight, in this historic event, a happening that happens only once in the life of a podcast, an event that is so eventful, the happening events are happening in the eventful happenstance.

Mikey and d$ welcome in TWO, count 'em TWO, co-hosts this week, as Drew and Dr. Earlgood join the show as the 50th episode of The Deucecast commences.

Mikey demands you go and buy some Alabama Shakes music right now (click the link below to head over to Amazon, give them ten bucks, give us a nickel and help pay for our studio renovations!), then gives us some Jane's Addiction for his continuing festival series... d$ unburies a wretched Chucky Norris film, then reburies it where it will hopefully stay... and Dr. Earl gives his weird obsession with the new Three Stooges movie (sure to be a treasure that will also need to be buried in the future)

The Big Three looks ahead to summertime, where all four guys give their most anticipated upcoming films of the summer season. Batman, The Avengers and Ridley Scott get lots of love, as do The Expendables, and even Abe Lincoln, the Vampire Hunter. Oh, and who wants to see "What To Expect When You Are Expecting"? Find out.

Remember Steven Seagal Watch? It makes a glorious return! Some news about the former great but now drunken Scott Hall, aka Razor Ramon, aka 1/2 of The Outsiders in the WWE/WCW...

Once again, its Wednesday night, and once again, a gathering of the minds and wits converge at The Deucecast Studios to begin another excursion into podcasting amazingness. The results? The Deucecast Episode XLVIII: Podcastin' in the Rain!

Our first mention of Ralph Emery's "Nashville Now", with his
sidekick, Red. That alone should make you want to download.

The show kicks off by welcoming Hurricane Rhett to the studios, and prepared for en epic rant. Along the way, we hit topics like Blues Traveler vs. Sister Hazel... taking our kids to Daddy's Day Out... watching The Walking Dead... Crook & Chase and the late, great Nashville Network... the dangers in crowd surfing... reviews on The Hunger Games.. .Warrior... and Julianne Moore in GameChange.

Mike's music presents more crap from the Schaeffer Eye Center Crawfish Boil... d$ digs up a great Buried Treasure from Nelly... and a great game of Reel or Unreel challenges the guys to Chuck Norris movies, as well as bad Costner movies ("which one?" you ask!).

Our Big Three serves up uncomfortable movie scenes like Piggy's death in Lord of the Flies... the birth of an insect in The Fly... bad rave scenes... bad rape scenes... and bad rolling down the hills of Naboo.

Rhett's Rants commence with stuff on Trayvon Martin, ObamaCare AND The Americans with Disabilities Act.

And can you believe we actually spend five solid minutes on what order to watch the Avengers-related movies before seeing The Avengers? Yes, you can.

Join us next week when we welcome back fellow blogger and co-host Brooke Story, with some For the Chicks advice, more music from Schaeffer in Mike's Minute, and our Big Three topic... our Top Three Dream Jobs.

The Deucecast Oscar Challenge

info@thedeucecast.com (The Deucecast) — Sun, 26 Feb 2012 21:25:34 PST

Here's how it works... as you might have heard on The Deucecast Episode XLIII: Podcast with the Wind, we have laid down an Oscar challenge... Mikey and d$, plus guest hosts Drew & Hurricane Rhett have all picked the Oscar winners. One point for each correct guess, highest points in the end wins the challege.

And what is the prize? The ability to set forth upon the other players the demand that they watch any movie requested. For example, when d$ wins, he can then assign Mikey to watch the Patrick Swayze masterpiece "Black Dog", assign to Drew the Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen awesomeness that is "It Takes Two" and then give to Hurricane Rhett the demand that he watch the Australian ballroom dance classic "Strictly Ballroom". So, much rides upon the game.

And here are the categories, plus the winners as picked by the participants... I also listed the winners, and bolded the names who got it right..

Best Picture
Mikey--The Artist
d$--The Artist
Drew--Midnight in Paris
Rhett--The Artist
winner... The Artist
Best Direction
Mikey--Michel Hazanavicius, The Artist
d$--Woody Allen, Midnight in Paris
Drew--Martin Scorsese, Hugo

Episode XLIII: Podcast With The Wind

info@thedeucecast.com (The Deucecast) — Thu, 23 Feb 2012 20:21:41 PST

Welcome back to The Deucecast... or with our guest co-host, could it be... The DrewsCast?

As per usual, we imbibe a little with our Beverage Tasting of the Week, this time a little more fancy with Hubert's Mango Lemonade and Honey Lemonade. And surprisingly, it wasn't bad. (!)

We dive into racial expression with a discussion on the Jeremy Lin/ESPN headline kerfuffle with varied opinions... what did the columnist know? When did he know it? The Deucecast spares no expense for hard-hitting journalistic journalism with our journalists.

Mikey waxes poetic about his weekend Missouri trip, including a stop at the Clinton Library and Massage Parlor... the guys have a longer-than-intended discussion about The Eagles, plus former members Randy Misner and Timothy Schmit... and somehow, the band Heart and its music makes it way into the discussion. We also jump into movies seen this week, like "This Means War"... "Ghost Rider 2: Nic Cage Sucks Again"... "Real Steel"... and more "Phantom Menace" talk.

Whitney Houston is featured in the Music Minute Spotlight, as we discuss her legacy and memories, plus some of her best music, at least according to d$.

After a great Buried Treasure in which Mikey digs up "Day of the Tenticle", Drew brings out the Big Guns during his first Smorg, asking the question "What Makes Us Like Movies", leading the group to talk about what truly gets us in favor of, or against, a film... rewatchability... emotion... how it makes you feel... and as Mikey says, "divisiveness".

Our Big Three topic shares the movies that YOU should see... little scene or perhaps forgotten films that you might have missed, so in our opinions, you need to see movies like "Suicide Kings"... a diehard NFL fan in "Big Fan"... an early Coen brothers favorite in "Blood Simple"... and a movie better than "Dirty Dancing"? Dig it!

Oh, and we talk about "Bridesmaids" again.

NEXT WEEK... Our Oscar recap, what went right and what went wrong... d$'s classic Buried Treasure... Mikey's Crappy Musical Crap... more movies seen... Celebrity Apprentice... and The Big Three Oscar Mistakes of All Time (not counting Marisa Tomei, Saving Private Ryan's snub and anything from this year)... that's on The Deucecast Episode XLIV: Inglorious Podcasters

Episode XLII: Podcastablanca

info@thedeucecast.com (The Deucecast) — Fri, 17 Feb 2012 01:41:46 PST

For the first time in The Deucecast Studios... we got ourselves a chick on the air. Like, a real life girl. Like, she's a she. A chick co-hosting? Dig it!

Mikey's younger sista' Stephanie is making the rounds in our town, and she graced us with her presence for the 42nd episode of The Deucecast: Podcastablanca. Mikey and d$ lead the show, with Steph in tow, and Producer Drew on the sound effects and production board.

We kick it right off with our weekly beverage tasting, sampling a bit of the Jarritos soda straight from The Pesos Store (its a sponsor of our sister show in Cancun, "The DosCast"). And its definitely an interesting taste, to say the least. Don't forget to join Club Jarritos!

The show dives into wonderful topics like Mikey's sick kid... d$'s two-month old travails... Drew's random week... and Steph gives us the lowdown of life in her new home of Missouri (plus the scary travels in the backwoods of Arkansas). We also touch on such fun things like "Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace" in 3D... JarJar Binks... the possibility of both a "Ghostbusters 3" and a "Beetlejuice 2" (bad on both counts)... more Michael Bay nonsense... movie reviews like Mikey's thoughts on "Before the Devil Knows Your Dead" and d$'s thoughts on the Anna Faris classic "What's Your Number?"...

The Finale of The Saddest Songs of All Time is here! A quick (?) recap of numbers 25 through 6, then the Top Five most heartbreaking, most soul crushing, most painful songs ever, with classic country, some Broadway and a Prince-written theme.

Does this pain ever stop?!?!?

Mikey busts out a Peanutty buried treasure... then he goes toe-to-toe with his sister Steph in a new game called "The Coffee Date Game", as in, who would you rather have coffee with? Hugh Jackman? Natalie Portman? Taye Diggs? Or... Rosie O'Donnell?!

How can you watch Titanic twice in a row on HBO? Find out here!

And in our Big Three, its a spirited talk of Our Favorite Chick Flicks of All Time, including d$'s reveal of his favorite movie of all time, plus many movies never before discussed here, like "that thing you do!" and "Julie & Julia" and "10 Things I Hate About You" and even more! Jerry Maguire! ...Say Anything! and Beautiful Girls!

This week's Audible selection of the week: The Stand by Stephen King, on 47 hours of glorious audio. Get it FREE when you sign up for a free trial at AudibleTrial.com/deuce ... its like making a donation to our show!

And next week, d$'s Music Minute pays tribute to Whitney Houston... Mikey busts out a crazy, random Buried Treasure... we give you our Oscar picks (with a bet on the line)... and Drew comes back as not a producer but a co-host with the first edition of Drew's Smorg! That's all on The Deucecast Episode XLIII: Podcast with the Wind!

It's a full house in The Deucecast Studios, as not only are d$ and Mikey steering the pirate ship, the swingin' Doc Earl joins us in-studio, while Drewski takes over the tech duties from an AWOL Producer Tommy.

Like many shows before, we kick it off by expanding our palate horizons in trying a new beverage. Its called Jumex, though its pronounced Hu-Mex... that will be funny when you listen to the show itself.

Among the many topics spoken of tonight... crying babies... Super Bowl commercials... the Phantom Menace in 3D... the miscasting of The Fantastic Four movies... The Voice vs. American Idol... the 90s success (and 2000s plunge) of Anne Rice and her vampires... the similarities in crappy Burt Reynolds films... Ahnold and Sly's new duet... Mikey's fading crush on Nic Cage...

Mikey features an actual, good Music Minute this week! Plus, a Buried Treasure brings forth the character of Philo Beddoe and a monkey named Clyde... an epic Movie Game nearly shuts out one of us completely in a shocker... and in Dying with Dr. Earl, we find out the difference in Midichlorians, Milochondrians and what the heck is Mesothelioma? Find out.

d$ continues his countdown of The 25 Saddest Songs Ever, including tunes from Bonnie Raitt (which is then ruined by Mikey's Jon Bon Iver crap), Gloria Estefan, Brian McKnight, the Rev'rn Al Green and an Alanis vs. The Police quick debate.

Finally, our Big Three takes on President's Day, with our favorite fictional presidents and their portrayals... President Whitmore! President Shepherd! President Dale! President Mitchell! And even some real presidents like Nixon and Adams make an appearance.

Mikey and d$ also recap the nearly 15 movies seen over the last week, including "The Descendants"... "Midnight in Paris"... "Winnebago Man"... "Drive"... and, of course, "Boogie Nights".

Don't forget next week as we get a very, very special guest in studio, helping us discuss The Big Three Favorite Chick Flicks Ever... d$ takes the Music Minute, giving you the Five Saddest Songs Ever, to celebrate Valentine's Day... plus our takes on The Phantom Menace in 3D... all on The Deucecast Episode XLII: Podcastablanca!!

Its a big deal around here, as The Deucecast reaches the Big 4-0... no, not 40 years, or even 40 months... but 40 weeks! Our 40th episode brings Hurricane Rhett up in the hizzy, fo' rizzy... okay, that's possibly the whitest thing I've ever typed...

Did Hurricane Rhett really dig this, or was he just showboating?
Listen and decide for yourself.

Right off the bat, we try some really good drinks from Rob... that being, Rob's Really Good drinks. Hurricane Rhett even gets a delighted surprise as he enjoys his cucumberness.

Then the show gets rolling as Mikey, d$ and Rhett discuss movies like "Rango" and "The Green Hornet"... the attainability of Kate Jackson vs. the other Angels, and which of the new Angels is most attainable (Drew Barrymore for d$, Lucy Liu for Mikey)... puppy love... puppy hospital hate... and a Music Minute that sounds like Harold Faltermayer ("Alex F") and Herbie Hancock threw up in the same petry dish and they spilled it on a 1984 synthesizer.

Other things discussed in earnest vary by such topics as "World's Dumbest..." on TruTV... the death of Ian Abercrombie (no Fitch, though)... Ryan Seacrest and Mark Cuban... "Super High Me" and "Freakonomics"... SAG Award highlights... debating whether to go see "Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace" in 3D... and our very first Kenny G Watch!

Carl Weathers gets some real love in a great Buried Treasure... and d$'s countdown of The Top 25 Saddest Songs Ever continues with Part III, including heartbreak from Whitney Houston... heartache from Blessid Union of Souls... misery from Whitney... irony from Ho-Jo... and this gem, featured in "Notting Hill", d$'s 15th favorite film of all time:

Finally, another edition of Reel or Unreel, plus The Big Three Biggest Drop-Offs from One Sequel to the Next, including movies from such franchises as Star Trek... Grease... Superman... Rocky... Indiana Jones... and even Teen Wolf!

Join us next week as we attempt to bring in The Good Doctor Earl, and ask him what exactly is Mesothelioma?... more crap from Mikey...

info@thedeucecast.com (The Deucecast) — Thu, 26 Jan 2012 12:04:53 PST

As we approach 40... that's shows, not ages, we celebrate our successes and thank you, the listener(s) for your loyalty. But, before we get to show 40... we have to do show 39... that's Episode XXIX: Pod Free or Cast Hard!

We welcome in Drew, our former SuperFan and now one of our rotating co-hosts, as he brings in his love of Guns N'Roses and... well, his love of Guns N'Roses.

The week discussed includes Mikey's Coke habit... d$ helping with tornado relief... Drew's love of Team Trivia at local hangouts... thoughts on "Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy"... thoughts on "Chinese Democracy"... Liam Neeson and "The Grey"... thoughts on "Red Tails" fails... a great Demi Lovato watch... and a bonus watch, as we keep up with Seal! Of course, so much more.

Kind of like a show prep bible. Not THE
Bible, mind you, but it is a good resource.

Mikey pulls out a new Music Minute with some band that sounds like Shake Weight or something, while d$'s Saddest Songs Ever countdown continues with Celine! Expose's last nit! With The Miami Sound Machine! with Mariah, when she was so great! And some info on a legendary Phil Collins tune--plus, our first Mikhail Baryshnikov's mention on The Deucecast.

New game! We play the first ever "Reel or Unreel" using Leonard Maltin's Movie Guide! And our Big Three takes on movies that we have never seen, but probably should have seen by now, including some classic flicks, some newer ones (Vegas, baby!) and Drew's stunning revelation that he has never seen... well, you just have to hear it. Its something that left Mikey and d$ speechless for at least three seconds each.

The Roundtable gives up a spirited discussion on Oscar Nominations... the worthiness of "Bridesmaids" and more specificallly, Melissa McCarthy... George Lucas on Oprah... fans of Sho-biz Pizza... "Troll 2" and its followings... and more docs watched.

Next week! More Mike's Music Crap... the Buried Treasure returns.. the Saddest Songs Ever continues, getting closer to the Top Ten with Whitney! Classic Bill Withers! Even some Blessid Union of Souls!

Episode XXXVIII: Podcast With A Vengence

info@thedeucecast.com (The Deucecast) — Thu, 19 Jan 2012 16:05:49 PST

Ladies and Gentlemen,

As you know, we have something special down here at The Deucecast Studios this evening. A recording from The Deucecast Podcast.

Yeah! Its the Deucecast Episode XXXVIII: Podcast with a Vengeance! We welcome Dr. Feelgood, aka, Dr. Earl into the studios as the guys kick things off with everything from bad sandwich artistry at Subway to the goodness of Jimmy Johns... from our technology addictions to Dr. Earls foray into the Apple World.

Mikey brings us a new band called My Pet Dragon, which he loves. At least he does. Then, we kick off our five part series on The Saddest Songs Ever Written, with songs #25 to #21...

The Big Three salutes one of our favorites, that being Morgan Freeman, as we discuss our favorite roles by this Hollywood icon... we hit the big ones like "Se7en" and "The Shawshank Redemption", but also some smaller movies like "Hard Rain", "Red" and even "High Crimes" with Ashley Judd.

One of our favorite scenes ever, from "Glory" (d$'s 44th favorite film of all time)... Morgan Freeman's "soul clap" is fantastic. I also feel like the term "our great gettin' up morning" should be used more often.

More Star Wars news... Betty White's birthday bash... and a walk on the Bark Side. We also lead to a documentary discussion, with films such as "Paradise Lost 3: Purgatory"... "The Cave of Forgotten Dreams"... "Jacka$$ 3"... and a huge discussion on the state of America's education system. No, I'm being serious. It was an actual debate based on views of the movie "Waiting for Superman".

And, another real debate on Comedies and their place in The Academy Awards, especially when it comes to "Bridesmaids".

Join us next week as Mikey gives a very special Music Minute... another Buried Treasure is unearthed... Part 2 of "The Saddest Songs Ever", giving you #20 through 16 with some Superstars, some pre-skank Mariah and some Phil Collins--but no, not that song, the other one. Plus, The Big Three Movies that We Feel Like We Should Have Seen By Now... that's all on The Deucecast Episode XXXIX: Podcast Free or Die Hard.

We welcome back Hurricane Rhett and SuperFan Drew into the studio this week, as we kick things off with, finally, a good tasting of a decent beverage. The Pop Shoppe lets us try a little cola, a little black cherry, a little orange and a little grape, and for once, its not too bad.

Mikey regales us with his troubles with Firestone Tire, d$ tells of the incompetance of some Best Buy workers, Rhett spills on his love of Mango Strawberry Fruitista and the problem getting them, and both Rhett and d$ share a common Ruby Tuesday's story.

(and yes, I use the company names... hey Firestone, Best Buy, Taco Bell and Ruby Tuesday's--want me to not use your company name? Have better service.)

Steve Guttenberg gets his proper due on this episode of The Deucecast

Mike goes rock with his music minute, taking on The Black Keys, while Rhett's Rhantt's brings us some complaining of a political nature, plus a great discussion about the book and movie "Freakonomics".

Kicking off the show is the return of d$, who regales the Deucecast with tales of new babydom, as his own The Lovely Steph Leann has spat out a child in the last few weeks. We taste a sample of a very odd sweet tea (on that might be spoiled, but we aren't sure).

Happy DeuceGiving!

info@thedeucecast.com (The Deucecast) — Thu, 24 Nov 2011 06:41:43 PST

Happy DeuceGiving! We just wanted to say a few thanks... first, to the obvious thank-you targets--our families, our wives, our kids and kids to be, our friends and to God for the blessings we have. Of course, a big thank you to the military men and women who give us the freedom to do the award winning podcast that we do.

Aside from those thanks, we wanted to have a little one-off show and give thanks to some immaterial, underrated things that don't get mentioned... like, the value of finding a sought after song on iTunes... watching an old friend dominate some Zelda... see the yellow line of football prowess.. and more!

Its a quick show, one recorded specifically for the Thanksgiving holiday!

Episode XXXIII: The Podcast Voyage Home

info@thedeucecast.com (The Deucecast) — Sun, 20 Nov 2011 02:36:13 PST

If you think three's a crowd... well... we still have three. Matty has left us, at least for now, to pursue other ventures in the multi-media atmosphere, but that still leaves d$ and Mikey, and joining us this week, Hurricane Rhett.

Right off the bat, we dive straight into such diverse and controversial topics as... Fall FestivAle Beer fest... taking the dog to the groomer... take the car to the Firestone... taking the tornadoes to Auburn... and taking the Hurricane Rhett to the Taco Bell.

A spirited Taco Bell and/or customer service discussion ensues, as we also riff on Cracker Barrel... the renassaince of AMC... the NBA Lockout... via voicemail, Matt reviews "The Immortals"... the gall of Enos and Sonny Schroyer... and Rhett dives in deep to rant about horrible Birthday Music at random Asian places.

Ever notice how adding an off-center porn 'stache and a crappily applied
fake soul patch makes a great Evil Twin?

The Big Three opens up a great round-robin talk about theme music, past their prime actors and our topic, TV We Loved as a Kid But Just Don't Hold Up Now... shows like Airwolf... ALF... The Fall Guy... Superfriends and Al Bundy all get the Deucecast Treatment.

And lest we forget... Captain Kirk vs. Princess Leia.

And for the ~~first time~~ last time ever... The Situation Watch.

Catch up on The Deucecast next week as we take the holidays off and give you an Encore Presentation of one of our favorite past shows... and join us in TWO WEEKS when Dr. Earl comes back for another edition of Dying With Dr. Earl... we'll talk about Movies that Defined Our Childhoods... d$ will begin The Countdown.. and Mikey has more ~~crappy~~ awesome music! That's on The Deucecast Ep XXXIV: The Undiscovered Podcast.

Episode XXXII: The Podcast for Spock

info@thedeucecast.com (The Deucecast) — Sat, 12 Nov 2011 07:47:25 PST

First it was Joe Pa that got the hook... and now? Matty resigns from The Deucecast, at least as a regular co-host. What did Matt know? What didn't Matt know? We may never know.

So, in the final show for Mattypoo, we kick it off by discussing everything from Shatner's Captain film... Mikey's concert update... "Once Upon a Time"... breaking into Matt's house... more Sons of Anarchy... a move to Missouri... and ear molds. Not ear mold, but actual ear molds.

The Big Three fills us in on movie technology from older movies that were supposed to be futuristic, yet their version of futuristic technology never panned out... Why didn't Snake Plissken have a cell phone in "Escape from New York"? Shouldn't memory planted in your head be bigger than like, 2 gigabytes, in "Johnny Mnemonic"? Why aren't we wiping with seashells, like in "Demolition Man"? These questions and more... plus a great "Total Recall" discussion.

Matt gives his final Smorg, on gaming, Mikey shows off his musical Scars and two great rounds of The Movie Game, with a great shout-out to veteran actor Christopher Plummer.

We wrap up with a huge tribute (and by "huge", I mean a lot more than any of us thought it would be) to the recently late Heavy D... some Demi Lovato love news... a review of "Yo Mama" on MTV... a welcome to "Beavis & Butthead" back to the airwaves...

And... the Final Seagal Watch.

But The Deucecast Rolls On, sans Matt... Hurricane Rhett joins us next week for a fresh Facebook rant, while we discuss "TV Shows We Loved as a Kid but Just Don't Hold Up Now" on The Big Three... that and more, on The Deucecast Ep XXXIII: The Podcast Voyage Home

Its a little late, but better late than never, especially when discussing the 31st episode of The Deucecast: The Podcast of Khaaaaaan...

We dive right in to our week in review, discussing Mikey's worshipful experience at a Bashta concert... and dressing as The Bearded Lady... Matt's new job happenings... and d$'s Disney World experience, including a spirited discussion on The Wizarding World of Harry Potter vs. Disney World... throughout the show, you'll hear topics such as Colin Quinn... "Once Upon a Time"... the crap that was M. Night Shamalamlamnana' "The Happening", or as its commonly known, "The Crappening"... I-I-I-I-I Want the Knife/Golden Child references... and Matt Jackson...

And d$'s problems not only with Madeleine Stowe, but also a question of eBay etiquette.

The very pretty Madeline.. Madeieline... Maha..
Madeileine... ah, crap, that chick from that
Mohican movie...

The Big Three gives us some great films that ruined it with the endings, movies like War of the Worlds... The Forgotten... The Departed... Matrix movies... and A.I.: Artificial Intelligence... plus many more.

Plus, a great discussion of our faith, our witness and being made in His image.

And Michael Bolton.

And Nic Cage.

And Steven Seagal.

The Matt Farewell Tour concludes on Matt's final regular show next week... The Big Three takes on Older Movies With Technology that Never Came to Fruition... d$ has a special musical Smorg... and we bust out a rousing edition of Faux or Shaux, one more for Mattypoo... that's all next week, on The Deucecast Ep XXXII: The Podcast for Spock

xXx

State of the Podcast

Welcoming Dr. Earl into the studio this week, we dive right into xXx with thoughts on "Three Muskateers"... "Welcome to Sarajevo"... "Summer in Genoa"... "Garden Party"... and Mikey and Dr. Earl watching Mute Math. The show also dives into such topics as The Dark Tower's revival... Assassin's Creed with Scott Stapp... Tone Loc Watch... Demi Lovato's anthem... and Joss Whedon's latest...

Matty sold his Jetta! Hear this on the up-and-up-but-only-sounds-sketchy story, plus there might be some changes for the Matt Fam soon. Mikey talks about his first pony ride (and we don't mean the Ginuwine song "Pony") and d$ shares a few coffee stories.

Rob Zombie is the Music Minute topic, d$ unearths a great (and by great, we mean awful, and by awful we mean awesome) Nic Cage Buried Treasure, and we get some true life vampire education in the latest segment of "Dying with Dr. Earl".

This is posted specifically for Mikey to see and think about. Yes,
Mikey, this might be under your bed. Right now. Go look. Go ahead.

The Big Three scares up our favorite horror flicks, with nods to "28 Days Later"... "The Fly"... "The Shining"... "Phantasm"... and of course, our favorite clown scene, "Poltergeist". And "Monsturd"? Yep. Monsturd. Mikey gets scared.

And... Seagal Watch.

Join us next week, as we broadcast on Thursday--d$ gives a full Disney report... Mikey finds more crap to listen to... Matt begins his goodbye tour (?!)... and we talk about The Best Movies with Crappy Endings.... that's all on The Deucecast Ep XXXI: The Podcast of Khan

Pumpkin patches! Clare Danes! Petting Zoos and (B)Ryan Adams! All in this week's episode of The Deucecast...

Mikey kicks it off with his kid's first pumpkin patch visit, while Matt relates his own kid at a petting zoo. "Red State" is a movie that Mikey recommends, but not for his--or anyone's--kids, while Matt recommends Jet's Pizza in The Noog. And d$? He'd just like his wife to talk more about her feelings (!).

Mikey gives us a great music minute with a Canadian singer (which sounds great when doing that Robin Hood song), while Matt's Smorg concentrates on The Batman.

Man, I used to freakin' love this show

Our Big Three brings back those shows that were cancelled too soon, TV series that lasted less than a single season... Heather Locklear... Keen Eddie... John Doe... Donal Logue... Manimal... Kevin Peter Hall... they, and so much more... all get their due in this segment, plus a rant on why "My So Called Life" actually isn't a great series, and why it, in all actuality, sucked bigtime.

The roundtable brings us everything from Shia fighting to LiLo's probation, from Gugino in S.O.A. to the Dark Knight in IMAX, from Ahnold's Last Stand to d$'s thoughts on "Moneyball"... and lest we forget, "Grey's Anatomy" Watch!

Oh, and Steven Seagal.

Next week... Mikey's very special music minute... Matt's very filling smorgasbord... d$'s very deeply buried treasure... another segment of "Dying with Dr. Earl"... Our Big Three favorite scary movies... and so, so much more... on The Deucecast xXx: State of the Podcast

Did ya miss us? You sure did.

Mikey, Matty and d$ are joined again by Hurricane Rhett, who blows through the studio like a levee in New Orleans. Immediately, however, the mood is mellowed out not by our topics, but by Marley's Mellow Mood, our beverage of the week. One that we don't recommend.

The discussions start quickly, going over Hurricane Rhett's skydiving experience... d$'s iPhone issues with The Silver Apple of Death... Mikey's foray back into Netflix... movies like "The Big Bang", "Middle Men" and "Real Steel"... love for Delroy Lindo... and an extensive, somewhat trying talk about Spotify....

A quick Roundtable goes through talks on Don Johnson... The Expendables 2... The Lone Ranger... the new Avengers trailer... Bond 23... and an extensive talk on the inconsistancies of "Con Air".

Mikey's Music Minute celebrates Wilco... Matty's digs up a classic video game... and d$ tosses aside John Williams for another movie composer who needs more recognition. Also, our first "Wisdom" mention.

In a Hairband Edition of Name That Crap, we go through the musical stylings of Rock and Roll legends like Warrant, Skid Row, Winger, White Lion and Rhett's favorite group, LA GUNS.

And in our Big Three, we score! Or, we list our favorite three Musical Scores...

And of course... Seagal Watch.

Once again, Mikey, Matty and d$ return for another excursion into podcastial excellence... we kick off the show with a nod to Steve Jobs, who passed away just hours before we went on the air, then a guzzle of the Cure for the Common Cola, the fizzy Dr. Wham.

Shawn up in the house on his (il)legal equipment trades... d$'s baby update... thoughts on Sex in the City and the beauty of Sarah Jessica Parker... and Mikey pigs out at the Greek Festival on some- Gyro Meat (SLICED) 5lb.

The New Girl for the whole year! The Playboy Club gets shut down!)... is Arrested Development coming back?! The show and the rap group?!...

and finally, Mikey offends everyone with a discussion of Church of the Highlands.

The Music Minute takes on an incredibly ehhh journey with St. Vincent (buy that crap here -- Strange Mercy - St. Vincent) and Matt fills up the Potluck Smörgåsbord with The Hunger Games Trilogy Boxed Set

The Buried Treasure unearths two brilliant films, that being the Oscar winning dark comedy Fargo (Two-Disc Blu-ray/DVD Combo in Blu-ray Packaging), and the Oscar winning Eastwood classic Unforgiven [Blu-ray]

And Our Big Three is all about specific actors... you know, actors picked by The Deucecast Co-Hoses for their other Co-Hosts to talk about on the podcast for no apparent reason other than to fill time... Matt picked Bill Paxton for Mikey, and Mikey nodded to A Simple Plan - Starring Bill Paxton... Mikey chose Hugh Grant for d$, and d$ gushed about his 14th favorite film of all time, that being Notting Hill [Blu-ray] - Starring Hugh Grant... finally, d$ gave Ving Rhames to Matt for discussion, so of course, Matt went with Mission Impossible III [Blu-ray]- Starring Ving Rhames

We are back to our regularly scheduled programming! The Deucecast Episode XXVI: Dr. Earl & the Half Blood Podcast kicks off with Matt dealing with the loss of a beloved pet and a beloved appliance, though we don't question which hit him harder. Mikey admits his love for the new TV show "H8R", for the Emmy Awards and the EmmyTones, while Dave just goes off on Glee. Dr. Earl chimes in and we end up discussing The Sing-Off, thought don't ask us why.

Oh, and The X-Factor sucks.

We take a few phone calls for Dr. Earl in his medical segment, and he answers those calls, plus a few other in-studio medical dilemmas, while we dive into nostalgia on The Big Three with our favorite TV Cartoon Theme Songs... classics like Pinky & the Brain...

Episode XXV: That Star Wars Episode

info@thedeucecast.com (The Deucecast) — Fri, 23 Sep 2011 22:49:07 PDT

STAR WARS STAR WARS STAR WARS STAR WARS STAR WARS STAR WARS

Its all Star Wars this time around, as on The Deucecast Episode XXV becomes a Star Wars Centric show! We talk about what we loved, what we liked, what we hold dear and what... well, what we didn't like. The Blu-Rays were released this past weekend, so we go indepth in Star Wars lore, what George did right, what he did wrong, and what he did that, frankly, we didn't even know he had done.

What are your favorite scenes from the movies? Is it Qui Gonn vs. Darth Maul, which is one of Matt's? Or the opening battle sequence in Revenge of the Sith, like Mikey? Or maybe the Yoda vs. Dooku fight in Attack of the Clones? And what does Rhett think of Yoda and Dooku? Not much, apparently. Find out why...

We dive into a little Weird Al, some Star Wars gangsta wrap, and even some old Saturday Night Live material with Nick Lava and his Star Wars lounge act. What are some of your favorite Star Wars experiences? Watching the movies with your kids? Standing in line for hours for tickets? A Star Wars Convention? Or the Christmas of 1983? And somehow, Dave Coulier makes it onto the podcast... we're not sure what happened there, to be honest.

And we dive into a little Star Wars Trivia, with some of the easiest questions you can possibly imagine... and somehow Mikey still stumbles.

That's all on The Deucecast Episode XXV: That Star Wars Episode...

Join us next week as we recap two weeks worth of news and pop culture, including Avatar and Disney, Nic Cage surviving as a vampire, more Busey than you can handle, more Music, more Movies, More Smorg and the return of the Good Doctor, on The Deucecast Episode XXVI: Dr. Earl & the Half-Blood Podcast.
