It’s a tradition like apple pie, hot dogs, baseball and Will Smith movies… The Deucecast Movie Show once again giving you an Americana themed episode, celebrating the best of patriotic, all American, we love this land kind of films.
Joining Pinky, Mikey & Dave in studio is the Terrance Malick apologist, film historian and Brie Larson crush-holder, the estimable Dr. Earl.
First, birthday movies will tell you how old “Legally Blonde” and “Kazaam” and “Point Break” all are, as they all came out in July of various previous years.
Then, reaching back to a game not played since The Deucecast Episode LXII, for the Independence Day week, a game called “American or Commie”. Who was born in America? And who is foreign born, naturally making them a communist (for the purposes of this game, of course…). And you’ll find out where Tom Skerritt, Emilio Estevez and yes, Amy Adams hails from.
.
And then, a run down of movies that are considered slices of Americana or downright patriotic… movies like “In America” and “Mr. Smith Goes to Washington” and “Red Dawn” and even the film that actually ended the Cold War.
Theories on what how the Air Force One commies would be treated today… Mikey’s new love of “Wahlbergers”… the puzzlement of what “The Danger Zone” actually means… the filmography of Heath Ledger… writing a paper on the Civil War, using only a movie for reference… why Rocky Balboa is more American than you…
Finally, in the returning Pretty in Pink, Pinky gives his rundown of the movie “Clueless” and gets another great 90s classic to watch for next go’round.
