Rian Johnson - Brick

It can debated that Rian Johnson's filmography is divisive among critics and fans. His talent, on the other hand, cannot be. From his impressive 2005 directorial debut, "Brick," to his just-released "Knives Out" follow-up, "The Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery," Johnson demonstrates a knack for cerebral storytelling and outstanding performances from his casts.

On this episode, we examine "Brick" and the resulting debate is divisive, indeed.

1986 - Ferris Bueller's Day Off

Our limited series, "1986", is back and we're taking the day off to discuss "Ferris Bueller's Day Off" with the gang. As adults, we debate Ferris's motives and manipulation tactics. Was Rooney justified in his quest to catch Ferris?
Other topics include fun license plate trivia, the similarities between the Ferrari and Bruce, the mechanical shark from Jaws, favorite scenes, and when asked his thoughts on sequel, prequel, remake, Scott accurately suggests the spin-off idea that's currently in development!

Carl Reiner - Summer School

From his early days writing for Sid Caesar to his performance of Saul Bloom in the "Ocean's" trilogy, Carl Reiner kept us laughing for seven decades.

In 1987, he directed "Summer School." A comedy about a misfit teacher bribed into teaching a group of misfit kids; who learn a great deal about "going on throw-up rides and petting barnyard animals" as they prepare to pass remedial English.

Episode 540: Yo Teach

The summer is well underway as The Deucecast Movie Show has rolled through its twelfth June, and now past another July 4th (USA! USA!), and in this week's #FanboySummer edition, Arkansas fanboy and teacher and educator and smart cool dude Charley Wooten!

First up, a little about Charley, talking about his background and his podcast Sunday Synopsis, then the very first round of a game we call HIGH SCHOOL HIGH... which high schools in movies are made up or real -- and which might be inspired.

Then, the topic picked by the guest, Charley - surprisingly a topic not covered before, Fave Teachers in Movies.

Some of the topics include Harry Potter... Arkansas education... ruining Mr. Holland... Butthead's hippy teacher... Matthew Broderick enjoying his pie... young Charley and his Miyagi PJs... a shared love of Kevin James... the lost art of loving a movie that you couldn't immediately access...

126. An 80's Only-Child Masterpiece: 'My Bodyguard' (1980)

Tony Bill's directorial debut 'My Bodyguard' holds a special and heartwarming place for the 99% of us not fortunate (or unfortunate) enough to have been the most popular kids in school. 'My Bodyguard' is filled with respect for the difficulties of everyday teenage life in a realistic manner, and features wonderful performances from 1980's teen actors like Matt Dillon, Chris Makepeace, Adam Baldwin and Paul Quandt. The film, I posit in this episode, offers a more honest portrayal of teen life than any of the more-successful and better-known John Hughes films of the era, and goes to surprising depths in exploring male friendships, latchkey kids figuring out their place in the world, forgiveness and the setting of boundaries even when it seems most difficult.
