Episode 348: A Star ReFlicktion Is Born

Oct 10, 2018

The fall movie season is upon us, as the Oscar contenders slowly begin to roll out. And of course, the one that everyone has seen a trailer for, oh, about 73,833 times, is "A Star is Born" with Bradley Cooper and Lady Gaga. And who better to discuss such a movie than Mikey, Dave and #TwitterlessDrEarl... or better yet, bringing in Friend of the Show, A24 megastar and independent filmmaker, Jeremy Burgess! First up, though, the ReFlicktions roll out, listing all the movies the guys have seen in the last month or so... including discussions on a new Predator... He-Man history... How Nic Cage came and gave without taking... Kevin Hart double features... the brilliance of Robin Williams... horse malarkey... Jack Black in a not-Goosebumps Goosebumps... Mikey's new Hitchcock obsession... Dave's Judy Greer disappointment... Earl's one movie... Then, the movies selected in this year's MikeTober, assigned to Mikey to watch for the Halloween episode (dropping October 24th), featuring submissions by Dave & Earl, Burgess and Friend of the Show No Just Clay... And finally, Burgess and Dave give their opinions on "dAve Star is Burge", where they recap the 1937, the 1954, the 1976 and 2018 versions of A Star is Born (with #Twitterless Dr Earl tossing in a thought here and there too!)
