    Fire Birds - #060

    A lot of people forget what a cultural phenomenon Top Gun was when it came out in 1986, in fact it was so popular that it created a whole industry of cheap crappy knock offs including a 1990 film that had the bright idea to make the movie about helicopters rather than fighter jets. Nevertheless, like all of the other rip offs, it was a box office dud and was forgotten almost immediately. So, join us as we strap on our tactical helmets and fight for ocular dominance as we watch Top Gun’s schlocky, idiot cousin: Fire Birds A cocky pilot faces personal tragedy in combat so he is sent to an elite flying school where he must put aside his ego and overcome his own insecurities for the betterment of his unit and become one of the best of the best in the US military while falling madly in love with a gorgeous fellow pilot. Wait, sorry that was Top Gun… actually… that’s the exact same plot of this movie. Never mind Fire Birds stars Oscar, Golden Globe and Emmy award winning screen legend Tommy Lee Jones, Nic’s Guarding Tess nemesis and real life Marine Captain Dale Dye, the gorgeous love interest from Blade Runner and David Lynch’s Dune….and also Ray Finkle AKA Lieutenant Einhorn in Ace Ventura: Pet Detective Sean Young and of course, the greatest, that’s right I said he is the greatest, HE IS THE GREATEST helicopter pilot to ever take on the South American Cartel, Academy Award winning actor Nicolas Kim Coppola better known as Nicolas Cage.

    Longlegs - #059

    As we’ve seen in the past Nicolas Cage has an uncanny ability to literally disappear into a role like few actors are capable but usually if you stop a film like Pig, Adaptation or Dream Scenario you can still easily recognize him. But what happens when you cover all traces of Nicolas Cage with heavy prosthetics, ratchet the insanity up to 11 and turn him into the creepiest villain we’ve ever seen him play? We’ll find out as we take on the 2024 Ari Aster produced A24 horror film Longlegs A semi-psychic detective is tasked with solving a series of unexplainable murders committed by someone leaving cryptic letters at the scene while seemingly having no connection to the victims. What follows is a creepy lurid decent into the world of the occult, satanic ritual and, of course, murder. Longlegs stars former professional kiteboarder and It Follows star Maika Monroe, multi-hyphenate star of film, television and theater and Agents of Shield regular Blair Underwood, Orange is the New Black/Justified regular who made her acting debut as that creepy ass kid in David Lynch’s version of Dune Alicia Witt, and of course, a man we’d all unwittingly do the dark bidding of any day of the week, Academy Award winning actor who awakens the Mr. Downstairs in all of us Nicolas Kim Coppola better known as Nicolas Cage.

    Dream Scenario - #058

    If you love Nicolas Cage like we do, then this is a great time to be a fan. We’re living in the middle of the third Nicolas Cage renaissance or the Ren-Nic-Sance as we call it. There was the indie darling Ren-Nic-Sance the culminated with Leaving Las Vegas, the action Ren-Nic-Sance that was kicked off by the holy trilogy of The Rock, Con Air and Face/Off and now we’re in what I’d like to call the “I’m Nic Cage and I do whatever I want because I’m Nic Cage” Ren-Nic-Sance. Films like Mandy, Pig and the Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent kicked off this era but Nic proved this renaissance was just getting started last year when he starred in the Ari Aster produced horror dramedy Dream Scenario A typical boring, college professor dad is suddenly thrust into the limelight when thousands of people around the world start inexplicably dreaming of him but what starts as a fun global experience quickly takes a dark turn when the dreams turn to nightmares and he has to navigate the consequences of his new unwanted fame. Dream Scenario stars “that guy from that thing” character actor Dylan Baker, Emmy award winning actress Julianne Nicholson, Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt regular and an actress who can’t help but make most men prematurely ejaculate Dylan Gelula, the Ladies Man himself Tim Meadows, a guy who can’t seem to stop flirting with his cousin Michael Cera and of course, the man of all of our dreams, Academy Award winning actor Nicolas Kim Coppola better known as Nicolas Cage.

    The Croods 2 - #057

    When we last left the world’s first family, The Croods were on their way to box office dominance and started a journey to find the perfect place to live. Unfortunately for the entire planet the continuation of their journey was pushed back due to development hell until the fall of 2020 which for some odd reason wasn’t a great time to be hanging out in movie theaters. Nevertheless The Croods managed to make another small fortune and learned to walk upright again just like the rest of us with The Croods: A New Age The Croods continue their hunt for a new home away from the sprawling hellscape they left behind in the first movie only to stumble upon a walled-in idyllic paradise but there’s just one problem, this new land is already inhabited by some insufferable hippies who see The Croods as a bunch of unevolved primitive cavemen and soon hatch a plan to give neanderthals the boot and steal Guy for themselves. The Croods: A New Age gives us one of the final performances from screen legend Cloris Leachman, newcomers to the franchise - the amazing Leslie Mann and everyone’s favorite Imp (George RR Martin’s words, not ours!) Peter Dinklage, Hollywood’s go-to when they need a snarky character Ryan Reynolds, Oscar winner Emma Stone and two-time nominee Catherine Keener, and of course the cave-dad we all wish we could get into a cuddle pile with, Academy Award winning actor Nicolas Kim Coppola better known as Nicolas Cage.

    Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse - #056

    The last time Nicolas Cage did a Marvel movie we ended up with the disastrously awful 2011 film Ghost Rider Spirit of Vengeance, so in true Nic Cage fashion he followed up that blunder with a masterpiece. So throw on your spider suit, tie the belt on your trench coat and pop on a fedora as we take a brief journey to the incredible animated world of Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse After getting bitten by a radioactive spider from another dimension, teenage Miles Morales is forced to take up the mantle of Spider-Man so he and a group of Spider-People from the multiverse can stop the super villain Kingpin from activating a inter-dimensional collider capable of wiping out all of their universes. Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse stars Dope star and scene stealer Shameik Moore, Rebooted Captain Kirk Chris Pine, Marvel’s new Hawkeye Hailee Steinfeld, New Girl star Jake Johnson, the new Blade (if it ever gets made) Mahershala Ali, Lily Tomlin playing a decidedly less stupid character than we saw in Ant Bully, SNL alum and standup comedian John Mulaney, Ray Donovan star and the Sabertooth we don’t talk about Live Schreiber, the voice of Baby Shark Kimiko Glenn and of course a real tough mug, yeah that’s right I’m talking a hard boy who can take down any biscuit boxer Academy Award winning actor Nicolas Kim Coppola better known as Nicolas Cage.

    Teen Titans Go! To the Movies - #055

    In the late 90’s Nicolas Cage’s boyhood dreams of playing Superman on the big screen were sadly crushed by studio production hell when the ill-fated Tim Burton Superman Lives film failed to get made but luckily for Nic, he’d get another chance…kinda. No, we’re not talking about that creepy CGI cameo in The Flash, we’re talking about the 2018 animated film Teen Titans Go! To the Movies In a world where every superhero ever created is getting their own blockbuster movie the Teen Titans just want their shot at big screen immortality but the fat cats in charge deem the teens unworthy, that is until a supervillain named Slade uses mind control to take over the world and the Teen Titans are the only ones who can stop him. Teen Titans GO! To the Movies stars a whole host of voice acting mainstays including Ezekiel from the Walking Dead Khary Payton, Miss Minutes from Loki and Bubbles from the Powerpuff Girls Tara Strong, Princess Bubblegum from Adventure Time Hyden Walch, Michelangelo from the newest Ninja Turtles show Greg Cipes, the boy wonder himself Scott Menville and a whole host of star studded cameos from the likes of Will Arnett, Halsey, Jimmy Kimmel, Patton Oswalt, Kristen Bell, Wil Wheaton, the late great Stan Lee, Nic’s son Kal-El Cage and of course the only Superman in our hearts, Academy Award winning actor Nicolas Kim Coppola better known as Nicolas Cage.

    Astro Boy - #054

    As we’ve seen many times on this show, Nicolas Cage is an extremely nostalgic guy, so it makes perfect sense that he’d jump at the opportunity to play a role in an American film version of a Japanese Manga he grew up reading in the 60’s. So throw on your big red boots and join us as we dive into the dark dystopian world of Astro Boy A brilliant scientist’s kid dies in an experiment gone wrong thanks to a meddling politician so he uses his knowledge to resurrect his son in the form of a super powered robot who can’t seem to find his place in the world of humans or robots. Astro Boy stars the late great Donald Sutherland, legend of the screen and stage Nathan Lane, Veronica Mars herself Kristen Bell, G-Force star (that’s what he’s best known for) Bill Nighy, Samuel L Muthafuckin Jackson, everyone’s favorite character actor Robin Tudyk, Imperator Furiosa Charlize Theron, the legendary Eugene Levy, Nigel’s best buddy and jack of all voices Dee Bradley Baker, In Living Color alum David Alan Grier, Whose Line is it Anyway improv genius Ryan Stiles, Tim Burton’s Charlie Bucket – The Good Doctor and Bates Motel star Freddie Highmore and of course our films father of the year, Academy Award winning actor Nicolas Kim Coppola better known as Nicolas Cage.

    G-Force - #053

    We’ve seen Nicolas Cage take inspiration from cartoon characters more times than you would think on this show such as Woody Woodpecker in Raising Arizona, Pinocchio in Never on Tuesday and of course Pokey from The Gumby Show for Peggy Sue Got Married but what if Nic reused that ridiculous voice when, you know, it actually made sense? We’re about to find out as we hop into our individual hamster wheels and roll through Disney’s first ever live-action/computer animated hybrid film: G-Force A team of genetically engineered super spy guinea pigs and a genius mole rat are the only ones who can save the world from an evil billionaire but thanks to government budget cuts they must first break out of a pet shop, escape the clutches of a teenage future serial killer and battle an army of sentient home appliances. G-Force stars Nic’s Matchstick Men co-star and gift that keeps on giving Sam Rockwell, the man responsible for setting the entire tone of the MCU Jon Favreau, Gob Bluth and Bojack Horseman himself Will Arnett, British film and stage legend Bill Nighy, Academy Award winner and Nic’s Captain Corelli’s Mandolin love interest Penelope Cruz, a man who kind of resembles a guinea pig himself Zack Galifianakis, the one and only Tracy Morgan, The Marietta Mangler AKA Garland Greene AKA Steve Buscemi and of course the guy who finally figured out you can do cartoon character voices for actual cartoon characters, Academy Award winning actor Nicolas Kim Coppola better known as Nicolas Cage.
