Episode 19: Face/Off
My very good friend Joel Szaefer joins me to talk about his childhood favourite, the very kid-appropriate movie, FACE/OFF. We talk about Greek myths, genre-bending, and face-licking.

Episode 18: Guarding Tess
1994's GUARDING TESS starring Shirley McLaine and our man Nic Cage is a charming odd-couple movie that twists into a thriller Caroline didn't see coming (despite it being in the Comedy/Thriller category. Go figure.). I talk grief, the CIA, Freud, and more in this episode.

Episode 17: The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent
2022’s THE UNBEARABLE WEIGHT OF MASSIVE TALENT is such a fun, witty movie that Caroline refuses to spoil anything for you in this episode — you gotta see it for yourself. This movie is like if Rattling The Cage’s core mysteries were addressed on screen but left you with more questions than answers (and lots of delight). Talking points include: uncanny reflections, sequinned pillows, fictionalized selves, and Kevin Costner.

Episode 16: Jiu Jitsu
"We know he’s in on the joke, we’re all on the same page at this point and he can just do whatever he wants -- and it’s up to us if we want to bask in it." -guest Don Buley summing up the Nicolas Cage experience perfectly
Rattling The Cage Podcast is BACK with a new format! Check out the first episode in forever with guest Don Buley of Hex Grid Heroes. We're talking about the 2020 movie JIU JITSU! There are audio issues with this eppy but that's only because it's been almost two years since I've recorded a podcast, so please bear with me as I get back in the saddle. Enjoy!

An essential film podcast in the making
In the 2006 film Wicker Man, Nicholas Cage’s character has a cage filled with live bees placed on his head, and as they sting him relentlessly he screams, “not the bees!”
My reaction to the premise of this podcast was the polar opposite.
Caroline & Dylan bring the same insightful and entertaining discourse from the NetFlakes Podcast and bring it to bear, like a conversational laser, upon the corpus of Cage’s filmography. Their methodology is sound, moving through Cage’s long career in an interesting way. I have seen none of the movies they have covered so far and yet I have been enthralled by this podcast.
