    Episode 13 (The Whole Bloody Affair): National Treasure/Book of Secrets

    Our lucky 13th episode and 3rd installment in the Summer of Cage, is jam packed with Cagetastic goodness. In the 1st half we join Benjamin Franklin Gates as he steals the Declaration of Independence in an effort to decipher a centuries old mystery in hopes of uncovering the lost treasure of the the Free Mason's and in the process clear his family's good name, in John Turteltaub's action adventure film, National Treasure (2004). For our 2nd half we rejoin Benjamin Gates and his cohorts as they once again try to clear their families good name after it is sullied when Mitch (Ed Harris) claims that a member of their family planned the Lincoln assassination, in John Turteltaub's National Treasure sequel Book of Secrets (2007). But that's not all. It is our pleasure to have our very first ever special guest Petros Patsilivas, the creator and voice of Caged In Podcast, joins us as he explains his recent epic Kanye like Twitter rant, tells us what his favorite Nic Cage movie is, who his favorite Nic Cage character is and whom he'd Marry-Fuck-Kill between Red Miller, Castor Troy & Cameron Poe. This is some highbrow shit. Along the way we will also discuss the difference between American & British politics, how we feel about Nicolas Cage possibly playing Superman in DC's upcoming Flash film, if we think the real name of Nic's up coming horror film is Willy's or Wally's Wonderland and who our Nicolas Cage character is based on our zodiac sign.

    Episode 12: Gone In 60 Seconds/Drive Angry

    It’s our second Cagetastic installment of the SUMMER OF CAGE and boy is it a testosterone filled one. For our 12th episode we explore some of Mr. Cage’s fuel injected flicks with a “Fast & The Furious” themed double feature. Up first is the summer block buster heist movie that inspired aspects of the Grand Theft Auto video game series and had us all exclaiming “Ok, let’s ride” before we went cruising. Nic plays professional car thief, Memphis Rains in Dominic Sena’s Gone In 60 Seconds (2000). On deck in our second feature Nicolas Cage plays John Milton, a criminal hellbent on getting revenge for crimes committed against his family by a Satanic Cult who’ve taken his granddaughter hostage. With the help of a foul mouthed, ass kicking sexpot and her bad ass muscle car they fuck shit up in Patrick Lussier’s action flick Drive Angry (2011). Along the way we also discuss the glaring flaws with Anchor’s app, Joel Schumacher’s death, movie roles Mr. Cage has turned down over the years, stereotypes & cultural appropriation in films and the sexual magnetism of the dead.  Clips from:  Gone In 60 Seconds, Deadfall, Kesha, Sopranos, Return of the King, Daylight, The Matrix, Bill & Ted 3, Shrek, SNL, Inglorious Basterds, Bohemian Rhapsody, Dumb & Dumber, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, The Wrestler, Green Hornet, Crank, The Frozen Ground, Pulp Fiction, Natural Born Killers, Dr. Who, Alanis Morissette, Once Upon A Time In Hollywood, GI Joe, Snatch, Parks and Recreation, Rick & Morty, Master P, GTA V, Donnie Darko, Friday After Next, Drive Angry, Dracula 2000, Pirates of the Caribbean, Big Daddy, Grumpy Old Men, Styx, DJ Suede the Remix God, Taylor Swift, Guns N’ Roses, WWE, Nickelback, Twilight, Preacher, Bo Jack Horseman, Elf, The Kingsman, The Who, Dogma & Lord of War.

    Episode 11: Wild At Heart/Joe

    Welcome to our inaugural SUMMER OF CAGE, a three month theme inspired look back into the Cagetastic film career of the one and only Nicolas cage. For our 11th episode we have a quiet rage character trait themed double feature. First up is the 1990 Palm d'Or winner for Best Picture, an acid laced Wizard of Oz inspired road trip by David Lynch entitled Wild At Heart. Nic plays Sailor, a snake skin jacket clad convict who runs away to LA with his nymphomaniac girlfriend Lula, as they try to escape not only his past but her bat shit crazy mother. Our second film is the gritty independent crime film Joe (2014), directed by David Gordon Green. Mr. Cage plays the unassuming, grizzled foreman of a Texas tree poisoning outfit, who hires and befriends a young pre-teen homeless boy who is desperately trying to keep his poor family afloat and safe from his alcoholic father. Along the way we also discuss the top 5 busiest actors working today, we rate the 5 best and 5 worst movies from our first 10 episodes (20 movies), we get into how fucking difficult it was to find Wild At Heart to watch it, we dive into how big a threat quicksand and exploding cars seemed to be as kids and divulge our theory that Joe Ransom from "Joe" is actually Red Miller post the events of "Mandy".

    Episode 10: Dying of the Light/Dark

    Somehow we've managed to survive the year 2020 long enough to have recorded for you our 10th Cagetastic installment of this podcast. And what better way to celebrate it than with a very Cage like bizarre doppelgänger episode where we explore the same movie, but different edits of it that were released three years apart. Yes, you read that correctly. We will be reviewing the same movie that has two different names, edits and release dates for it. Welcome to the world of the great and eclectic Nicolas Cage. So for your listening pleasure we deep dives into Paul Schrader's espionage thriller Dying Of The Light (2014), that was taken from him after his first cut, and his re-edit Dark (2017). Unlike past episodes where we discuss two different films, this week we simultaneously discuss the same film's two versions and how they are different from one another. Along the way we will also discuss how Mr. Cage was the victim of a bizarre heist of rare and valuable comic books, Tara Reid quite possibly playing Carole Baskin's in his upcoming Tiger King TV Show, the announcement of National Treasure 3 and a National Treasure Disney+ show, as well as the Cleveland Indian's connection to Nic. Clips from: Gone In 60 Seconds, Whoa!, Dying of the Light, Kesha, Batman Begins, John L. Williams, Superman, Bad Boys 2, Storage Wars, Titans, Bride's Maids, The Big Lebowski, Anchorman, Savannah Keyes, National Treasure, Indiana Jones, Mission Impossible, The Matrix, Timex, Energizer, Rick & Morty, Saving Private Ryan, What The Fuck Broadway Musical, The 3 Stooges, The Who and Lord of War.

    Episode 9: The Rock/The Frozen Ground

    Another week, another Cagetastic installment. Our 9th to be exact. In this weeks episode we explore two polar opposite films from Mr. Cage's eclectic filmography. First up is Michael Bay's late 90's classic action movie, that helped redefine the genre, The Rock (1996). Nic plays Nathan Goodspeed, a Chemical Weapons Specialist with the FBI, who along side Sean Connery, is tasked with the job of breaking into Alcatraz, defusing a battery of extremely dangerous VX rockets and subduing a platoon of Rogue Marine's lead by Ed Harris, before they can launch these missles on the population of San Francisco. In our second film, The Frozen Ground (2013), director Scott Walker gives us a gritty crime thriller based on the true story of Alaskan serial killer Robert Hansen. Nicolas Cage plays an Alaskan State Trooper on the trail of Robert Hansen, played by John Cusack, after a local prostitute, played by Vanessa Hudgen's, barely escapes from him with her life. Along the way we also will discuss Nic becoming a grandfather again, a possible sequel to Mom And Dad, the epic announcement of Mr. Cage being tapped to play The Tiger King himself in an upcoming TV series, how big of a douche bag Diplo is, the complete lack of a military consultant on The Rock and the crazy amount of breasts on screen in The Frozen Ground. Clips from: Gone in 60 Seconds, Kesha, Mom And Dad, The Tiger King, SNL, The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, Deadfall, Mandy, Diplo, AC/DC, David Lee Roth, UFock UK, The Rock, Inner Circle, Aerosmith, Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back, Transformers, Platoon, WWE, LED Zeppelin, GI Joe, Inglorious Basterds, Breaking Bad, Die Hard, East Bound and Down, Joe Dirt, The Frozen Ground, 50 Cent, Hanson, Caleb Jaxin, What The Fuck Broadway Musical, Kristen Kaliko/Tech N9ne, Cinemax After Dark, Rage, Se7en, Coming To America, Howard Johnson’s, Nathan Picard & The Vacancy, The Who & Lord of War.

    Episode 8: Matchstick Men/Mom And Dad

    Welcome to what could be our first ever Cagetastically perfect installment. For our 8th episode we explore two gems from Mr. Cage's ecclectic filmography. First up is Ridley Scott's black comedic crime film Matchstick Men (2003). We find Nic playing a depressed con artist with severe obsessive compulsive disorder, who through a series of events meets his long lost daughter, plans a risky con with his partner Frank and tries to better himself with the help of his new therapist. It's a brilliantly acted, written and directed film that showcases Mr. Cage's true range and talent. In our second film Nic plays a married father of two in the midst of a mid-life crisis in Brian Taylor's dark horror thriller Mom And Dad (2017). One day, for reason's no one can explain, parent's across the world are suddenly compelled to kill their children. This unleashes some of Nic's best moments on film and reminds us of just how good an actress Selma Blair is. Along the way we will discuss the time Nic ate mushrooms with his cat, why he only eats animals that don't have weird sex, the unique stalkers he's had in his life and his eccentric pet purchase. Clips from: Gone in 60 Seconds, Kesha, Serial Mom, Jello Pudding Pops, Late Night with David Letterman, Nine Inch Nails, Monty Python and the Holy Grail, Matchstick Men, Oceans 11, The Green Mile, Drag Me To Hell, Frank Sinatra, Johnny Mercer, Rick & Morty, Color Out of Space, Pulp Fiction, Mom And Dad, Crank, Crank High Voltage, Ghost Rider Spirits of Vengeance, Happy, American Pie, Aliens, Dusty Springfield, Timex, Roxette, MacGyver, Erasure, The Who & Lord of War.
