The summer is winding down, the Deucecast Movie Show is headed toward 500, and another ReFlicktions is right around the corner... but first, the cherry atop the summer series. And what better way to cap off the award winning, acclaimed, BET Source Award nominated Summer Movie Series than to pick out some of the biggest roles and make it a full on, official Big Bracket Movie Role Tournament... with the winner joining Castor Troy, Jerry Maguire, Indiana Jones, and more in the Big Bracket coming... later. Much later. Thirty two roles, matched up one by one, until there is only one. And what better way to make this happen than to bring on The Spawn of Ryfun, the one and only Son of the Pride of Bainswick, Georgia, Lil G Ryfun! McLovin gets tons of McLove... which Goldblum is better... how much does Mikey love My Big Fat Greek Wedding... can Pee Wee move on... who's the real Patriot... will Connor4Real never stop? or Never stop never stopping?... and the first real life person in the movie role tourney! And a vicious battle between a high school Emma and a ghost seer... Plus... we have ourselves a tiebreaker... a special guest who comes roaring in like a wrecking ball.
