Guarding Tess with Liz Jukovsky
Tuesday Sep 07, 2021
Tuesday Sep 07, 2021
Shirley MacLaine plays a difficult former first lady, and Nic Cage is the frustrated Secret Service agent assigned to attend to her every whim. It’s a cute 90’s comedy that ends with… a 71 year old woman being kidnapped and buried alive? Liz Jukovsky joins us live in studio (a first for us!) and we all make a lot of intense eye contact while recording.

The Weather Man with Keola Racela
Tuesday Aug 24, 2021
Tuesday Aug 24, 2021
In this 2005 comedy cringefest, Nic Cage plays a sad sack weather man, who navigates both fast food projectiles and his strained relationships. This movie features Michael Caine playing an American, lots of archery, and far more discussion about camel toe than you’d probably like! Director Keola Racela (who liked this movie far more than we did) joins us this week.

Pig with Will Gianetta
Tuesday Aug 17, 2021
Tuesday Aug 17, 2021
It’s John Wick meets Babe meets Mandy meets Chef’s Table. 2021’s low budget drama Pig got a lot of hype (and is currently Cage’s best reviewed movie on Rotten Tomatoes EVER), but does it live up to it? We’ve got improviser Will Gianetta back to help us answer deep questions like, “What is a salted baguette?”, “How is this movie influenced by the myth of Orpheus and Eurydice?” and “Are there REALLY underground kitchen fight clubs?”. Plus, we watch the trailer for Prisoners of the Ghostland.

Willy's Wonderland with Dan Chapman
Tuesday Aug 10, 2021
Tuesday Aug 10, 2021
Improvisor Dan Chapman is back to discuss 2021’s Willy’s Wonderland, which pits a totally silent Cage against killer animatronics in a deserted Chuck E. Cheese-esque kids restaurant. Also, there’s way more cleaning montages than you might expect. Plus, one of our hosts gives out their first perfect 10 overall score!

Snake Eyes with Rachel Jane Andelman

Tuesday Jul 20, 2021
Rachel Jane Andelman, comedian, writer and producer of @2MBStudios on twitch, joins us this week to talk about 1998’s Sinise/Cage’s Rashoman-style thriller Snake Eyes. It’s got gratuitous one-shots and POV shots as well as a big ol’ TWIST. Is it stupid? Absolutely. Is it fun? We are divided! Plus, we play Snake Eyes (1998) vs. Snake Eyes (2021) trivia.

Bringing Out the Dead with Rob Lamothe
Tuesday Jun 22, 2021
Tuesday Jun 22, 2021
Is this a… well written, well made Cage movie? This Scorcese/Schrader movie from 1999 is about an ambulance driver slowly losing his mind. Also, is this movie a Chrismas Carol story? Actor and Comedian Rob LaMothe joins us. Say it with us: “I.B. Bangin’!”

Kick-Ass with Jeremy Weinreich

Tuesday Jun 08, 2021
Comedian Jeremy Weinreich has dressed up as Kick-Ass every year for the last 8 years so of course he’s our guest this episode. Is this movie - a rare Cage co-star role - a raunchy, irreverent comic book movie? Or is it the tale of three extremely violent LITERAL CHILDREN who struggle with grief and daddy issues? Also, listen as Meg and Chris die inside when this movie ends up beating one of our absolute favorites in the rankings.

Season of the Witch with Adi Heller

Tuesday May 25, 2021
We’ve finally got fellow Nic Cage completist Adi Heller on our show! This movie has it all: gross plague makeup (so many boils), British people pretending not to be British, an extremely lose grip on European history, anachronistic buddy comedy, demons, demon wolves, possessed priests. Plus, we test our Nic Cage knowledge on Sporcle.

Lord of War with Josh Budman
Tuesday May 18, 2021
Tuesday May 18, 2021
It’s our 30th episode, and we watched Lord of War (2005), a dark comedy where Cage is an arms dealer with questionable morals (okay… no morals). Featuring our first international guest, improvisor Josh Budman from Montreal.

Ghost Rider with Ben Scurria

Tuesday May 11, 2021
Happy Mother’s Day, we’re watching a movie with no moms at all. Motorcycle stunt man Johnny Blaze (Cage) made a deal with the Devil to save his dad, it didn’t work out, and now he’s a flaming were-skeleton. He has to fight Wes Bentley, Dirt-dude, Soggy Boy, and Windy Dread Man for some reason. Anyway, this movie is… not as bad as expected? Ben Scurria of 2MBStudios and Union Comedy is here to dig into it with us.
