Grindhouse Messiah The Farsighted Network

As always, this is the podcast where we ask the important questions…

Is Nicolas Cage a legitimate acting genius?

An utter piece of silver screen trash?

Or somewhere in between?

On this episode, we celebrate Loki’s mom with an actual banger… 1996 modern action classic The Rock! Not a ton to disagree about here, but we had lots of fun with it. Give it a rewatch if you haven’t lately, you won’t be sorry!

Thanks for hanging out with us this month, we’ll be back in a few weeks!

Don’t forget you can watch Merder and Loki be badass derby girls on Friday night on the Rockstar Roller Derby Twitch. There are a few tickets left and Justin will be announcing it all live on Twitch.

And later this month, check out Rockstar’s Bizarre Bazaar!


SPECIAL THANKS to The O’Mulligans for allowing us to use their fantastic track “Cage Rage” as our official theme song! Listen to “Cage Rage” on Bandcamp and support the band!

Follow us on Instagram at @cagematchpodcast to be a part of the show. We’ll be posting more over there now and will have more opportunities for giveaways and other fun stuff over there, too! You can check out Loki, Merder, Justin, and The Farsighted over there too.

The Farsighted is also on Xitter (pronounced “shitter”) and Facebook too, so join the discussion.

Before we dive into the episode, have you seen our badass logo? Awesome designer Trais Colton Barhaug rocked that for us and you should go support him now! T-shirts, pins, and stickers are on their way.

Thanks to Justin’s long time friend, Kwalified, a diehard wrestling fan and dope emcee hailing from Hawaii, for our great intro song.


Nathan Jones wrestled for a short time in WWE, but wrestled for a little while before that. Most of us know him more for his actijng roles, though. As he reprises his role of Rictus Erectus in Furiosa, we visit his memorable role in Mad Max: Fury Road.

You’ll note that after the first 52-ish minutes, there’s a soundclip of Nathan in the film. That is because the recording service we used blipped and we had to log in to a new recording room to finish the podcast, so forgive any disjointedness. We still think you’ll enjoy this one!

It’s been too long, but we’re back and here to stay. With this, our first episode of 2020, you can expect us back roughly every two weeks with new episodes for at least the next few months. We’ve missed you. But we’re back in time to kick off this weekend’s great Magnolia International Film Fest… the 23rd annual such event, in fact. This year’s Director/Head Programmer – who happens to be Blaine’s brother – Brandon McLaren is our guest and we discuss a few of the films we really enjoy from their program this year.

Check out the festival website at www.magnoliafilmfest.com.

Also check out Brandon’s podcast, Sip N’ Pop Culture, once you’re done with this episode here!
