The Deucecast Movie Show #400: The DCMS Virtual Film Festival Pt 1

by RetroZap Staff October 16, 2019

This will be a day remembered when a Podcast born of friendship and and an excuse to hang out and talk recorded it’s 400th episode of movie goodness.

The Deucecast Movie Show is proud to do what only a few people thought — or cared — they could do… hit Episode 400. After 399 shows of film mediocrity (with some flashes of brilliance: see “Hoyle, KB”), the 400th show begins.

To celebrate 400, Mikey, Dave, and #TwitterlessDrEarl, are hosting the very first Deucecast Movie Show Podcast Virtual Film Festival, each showcasing five films that are near and dear to them over the course of a virtual weekend, on a virtual stage, in front of a virtual audience.

And because the show wouldn’t be what it was without the fans who listen, and the rotating cast of characters that come on the show, ten of the regulars have been invited to give three of their favorite films to showcase.

Jennifer Kaufman is on first, with what she considers to be a perfect film, plus a cute flick between her and Dude Kaufman, and a sentimental Deucecast favorite too.

Longtime co-host and now Gulag occupant Pinky comes back to give his fave Pixar film, his fave horror film, and a recent movie he saw as a young tyke. Like, when he was 8.

Indie fan and Mikey contrarian Jeremy Burgess steps in for a fabulous sports documentary, a classic thriller, and then zags with an unexpected guilty pleasure.

Finally, on Part 1, the TechnoRetro Dads themselves join the show — Shaz & Shua showcase some classic 80s sci-fi, a Steve Martin classic, and, of course, Krull. As well as Dave’s story about Cheap Trick.

Of course, the show hosts have their own picks too, with a crazy doc and a serious doc. Pretentiousness reigns from 1928, Incredible Michael Mann, and another Kerri Green name drop.

Join the show next week for Part 2 of the Virtual Film Fest, with appearances by Retro Joe, Clay Shaver, Jenn Novotny and both Old and Young Ryfun!

The Deucecast Movie Show is a podcast done by movie fans for movie fans of all kinds.

Expect themed episodes, feature lists, favorite movies, and tournaments pitting movie against movie or actor against act because we love a good bracket. Play along with movie games like “Denzel” or “The Ryan Philippe Game,” then participate in voting in the annual Deucie Awards and yell at us when someone defends a Damon Wayans movie as “nearly the perfect film.” If you love movies, then you’ll love The Deucecast Movie Show!
