The Deuce's Podcast

It's football season!  What better way to kick it off than with a football sequel?  

Here's the thing...there aren't that many football sequels, so we'll take what we can get.  This week, it's Angels in the End Zone.

Brad and Jeremy sit down and watch a movie that was nominated for 9 Razzies and won 2 of them.  So curl up in your snuggie with your oversized glass of rosé while The Deuce takes you on an erotic review of Fifty Shades Darker.

Calling all Gute fans! 

After Brad got to pick the last movie, Jeremy demanded a pick of his own.  This week, we're reviewing Police Academy 2: Their First Assignment.  

This week, Brad wanted to pick our movie.  Out of all the sequels out there just waiting for us to review, he picked Weekend at Bernie's II.  Was it a good choice?  We'll leave that up to you.

April is the Cruelest Month (Part 3 of 3) – With Special Guest Greg Mehochko (Nerds United Show/5 Hearts Podcast)

This month Brad and Jeremy set out to tackle some of the worst sequels.  Their Third and Final installment is Son of the Mask.  The Mask was a blockbuster success in 1994.  When a sequel was penned, it was so awful that Jim Carrey walked away from the project despite being offered $10 million.  Over 10 years later, the movie was dragged out of development hell with Jamie Kennedy attached.  Need we say more?

April is the Cruelest Month (Part 2 of 3) - EXPLICIT

This month Brad and Jeremy set out to tackle some of the worst sequels.  Their Second installment is Basic Instinct 2: Risk Addiction.  Basic Instinct was one of the highest grossing films of 1992 and received numerous accolades.  We got Basic Instinct 2 after being in development hell for a decade.  After rotating cast, crew, directors, and writers, was there any wonder why it flopped at the box office?

April is the Cruelest Month (Part 1 of 3)

This month Brad and Jeremy set out to tackle some of the worst sequels.  Their first installment is Speed 2: Cruise Control.  Speed was a cultural phenomenon, so you just knew the studio execs weren’t going to miss out on doing a cash-grab sequel.  Check out the guys’ review of the film where they settle whether they think it holds water.

On a very special episode of The Deuce, the guys celebrate the 1 year anniversary of their show by reviewing a film widely considered to be the best sequel of all time.  The Godfather Part II is critically acclaimed and helped to legitimize sequels as mediums to continue telling well-told stories.

Please join us in celebrating all things sequel on this, the day of our podcast's anniversary.

Brad and Jeremy take a few moments to review the timeless classic and fan favorite, Back to the Future Part 2.  Join them as they talk about their take on this film, what it got right and oh so wrong, and how this movie impacts the trilogy.  

Happy St. Patrick's Day from the Dynamic Deuco!  Brad and Jeremy celebrate the day by watching Leprechaun 2 with friends of the show Cort (from the Cinema Psyops podcast) and his amazing wife, Bev.  Be sure to check it out!  This episode is pure gold.

 

You'll laugh once, you'll laugh twice,
