Episodes
Butcher’s Crossing (2023)
October 17, 2023 22:40 - 40 minutesThis has been a banner year for Nicolas Cage fans, as Butcher’s Crossing marks his sixth (!) new film of the year… so far! This is a moderately spoiler-heavy episode, so if you want to wait until you’ve seen the movie (releasing in theaters on Friday, Oct. 20 and on VOD after that) to listen, just know: it’s Cage’s best movie of the year so far. We talk about feeling re-energized for this podcast based on the success of this movie, we admire the cinematography (and the landscape of the Americ...
The Retirement Plan (2023)
October 09, 2023 13:53 - 24 minutesThis is turning out to be quite the prolific year for Cage -- with still more to come -- as #CageClub returns for the fifth time in 2023 to talk about The Retirement Plan! This one made its way to theaters, but did historically poorly -- and we try to explore why. This movie is Nicolas Cage's version of Nobody or John Wick -- which is exciting -- but if this is the only time he'll ever play this type of character... we wish we got more. Even though our podcast's "brand" is positivity, The Ret...
Sympathy for the Devil (2023)
August 21, 2023 17:15 - 27 minutes#CageClub returns with yet another new Nicolas Cage movie this year -- with even more to come -- in the form of Sympathy for the Devil! This movie marks the return of "Crazy Cage," which (while fun to watch) does not a good movie make. We talk about how Sympathy for the Devil is reminiscent of other (better) movies, like Collateral and A History of Violence, and its determination to add twists and turns to draw out suspense without layering in new narrative. We talk about the things we liked ...
The Flash (2023)
August 11, 2023 14:46 - 19 minutesIt's been long enough since The Flash released for us to spoil the good news: Nicolas Cage finally played Superman in a live action film! We're back with a brief episode (before two more [!] episodes later this summer) to talk about Cage's non-animated debut as the Man of Steel. (Let's never forget Teen Titans Go! To the Movies.) We talk about the frustration of having this reveal spoiled for us (and how incredible it would have been if we didn't know it was coming). We wonder who this cameo ...
Renfield (2023)
April 17, 2023 14:45 - 53 minutesNicolas Cage is back in theaters with Renfield, and #CageClub is back with a spoiler-filled review of the movie! We're talking about Nicolas Cage's portrayal of Dracula, his return to vampire living, and whether or not this was the type of film he always saw himself playing one of his dream roles. Joey shares his worries about the film (and whether or not they manifested), Mike offers some Universal monster history, and we discuss whether or not the movie "feels" like New Orleans. We pitch al...
The Old Way (2023)
January 23, 2023 14:17 - 31 minutesNicolas Cage has a new movie in theaters (well, by now it's on VOD), so #CageClub is finally back to talk about The Old Way! Since the very start of this podcast, Mike has wanted Cage to star in a western. His dream finally came true... but did it live up to expectations? We talk about how Cage held up in his first "true" western, the killer mustache he's rocking, and the authentic look of the scenery and locations. We pick out our favorite moments -- and the issues we had with the movie -- a...
The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent (2022)
April 14, 2022 20:05 - 26 minutesThe Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent is finally here, and we got a chance to see it a little early! We’re keeping this episode almost entirely spoiler-free, so feel free to listen before you see it… and you SHOULD see it as soon as you can, because it’s great! After literally years of worrying, our fears were put to rest as The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent turned out to be much more than a movie where Cage (and the creative team) lean into the meme-ification of his personality. It’s...
110 Prisoners of the Ghostland (2021)
September 20, 2021 12:45 - 48 minutesThis year has treated Nicolas Cage fans very well so far, and the hits keep on coming with Sion Sono's Prisoners of the Ghostland! It's not clear if we'll get another Cage movie this year, but if this is our final one in 2021, we sure went out with a weird, neon-soaked bang. In this episode, we talk about the work of Sion Sono, the rules of this world (and the relatively grounded nature of all this insanity), and why Prisoners of the Ghostland may have been more interesting if its narrative f...
109 Pig (2021)
July 17, 2021 19:47 - 40 minutesMany people are calling Pig "the return of Nicolas Cage," but ask any fan, any real fan, and they know he's been here for years. That said, Pig is easily his best performance since (at least) Mandy, and likely one of the finest in his career. We headed to the theater to watch Cage's latest, and we're here to talk about the quest for truffles and his search for a stolen pig. Plus, as has become custom on these episodes, we look forward to what's coming after Pig to see where Cage may be headed...
108 Willy's Wonderland (2021)
February 13, 2021 22:25 - 46 minutesNicolas Cage is off to a rapid-fire start with 2021, quickly following up a Netflix series with Willy's Wonderland! Available now on VOD, Willy's Wonderland sees Nicolas Cage in the unnamed role of "The Janitor," tackling a challenge he has not yet faced in his career: an entirely wordless performance! In this episode, we talk about how the movie compared to our expectations, what we hope to see Nicolas Cage take on in the future, and how Willy's Wonderland could have been even more fun. We a...
107 History of Swear Words (2021)
January 10, 2021 21:15 - 37 minutesWe closed out 2020 in a strong way with a few new Nicolas Cage movies, and we're opening 2021 equally strong with the Netflix original series History of Swear Words! The series marks Cage's return to TV after nearly a decade away (he hadn't graced the small screen since his return to SNL in 2012) and his first official TV series ever (or, at least since his bygone TV pilot for The Best of Times). After all that time... was the wait worth it? Is History of Swear Words worth your time? Join us ...
106 The Croods: A New Age (2020)
December 22, 2020 21:22 - 48 minutes'Tis the season for gifts and joy, and what more could we ask for than The Croods: A New Age, our second new Nicolas Cage movie of 2020?! Even better: it's Nicolas Cage's 100th acting credit! In this episode, we return to the Stone Age (right?) after more than 7 years away to re-visit the Croods and to meet the Bettermans for the very first time. We talk about the visual wonder of the movie, the real-world Cagenections, and (of course) the Banana Bros. (Plus, Wigasus, but that's so weird that...
105 Jiu Jitsu (2020)
November 23, 2020 18:23 - 53 minutesThe streak continues! After nearly 11 months of worrying (and 8 months of a global pandemic), a new Nicolas Cage has seen the light of day in 2020: Jiu Jitsu. The internet has created a massive backlash against this movie, but we've gotta say: it's pretty okay! Featuring one of Cage's most grounded performances in a while (pay no mind to our episode art), it's a nice return to form for Supporting Character Cage and a new foray into the world of martial arts. In this episode, we talk about Cag...
104 Color Out of Space (2019)
March 08, 2020 04:01 - 1 hourFinally. At long last, after more than a year of waiting, and just about six months of friends telling us we *had* to see Color Out of Space, the time has come. Joining us to talk about all things Nicolas Cage, Richard Stanley, and H.P. Lovecraft is past guest (and Lovecraft superfan) Chris Podcasts. In this episode, we talk about the unseeable color, the many alpacas, and Wiccan rituals. We also discuss whether or not this is a good adaptation of the Lovecraft story, whether or not that ques...
103 Grand Isle (2019)
December 09, 2019 04:01 - 48 minutesGrand Isle marks the fifth new Nicolas Cage movie in five months, and (maybe?!) the final one in 2019. What a year it's been! In this episode, we're preparing for the looming hurricane (and marital strife) by talking about all of the craziness in Grand Isle, where it ranks among Cage's 2019 releases, and how this feels like an amalgamation of a handful of his other movies. We also talk about KaDee Strickland as a brunette Nicky Whelan, Luke Benward as a buff Slow Joey, and (of course) Nicolas...
102 Primal (2019)
November 09, 2019 04:01 - 40 minutesThe Cage Chain continues with Primal, our fourth Nicolas Cage movie of 2019, and the fourth consecutive month with a new release! Before we dig our proverbial ghost cat teeth into this movie, we revel in the wonder of this streak of Cage movies, and look ahead to the next two months, each with a new release: Grand Isle and Color Out of Space. Then, we grab our spotted white jaguar and board a boat to Puerto Rico to hunt the most dangerous game of all: Nicolas Cage. In this episode, we talk ab...
101 Kill Chain (2019)
October 23, 2019 04:01 - 28 minutesWho will survive the kill chain? That's what we're finding out on this episode as we break down Nicolas Cage's latest straight-to-VOD movie, Kill Chain. In this episode, we further discuss the four tiers of Nicolas Cage straight-to-VOD movies, stick The Runner with some unnecessarily (though possibly justified) savage burns, and then try to make sense of the jumbled plot of this movie.
100 Running with the Devil (2019)
September 24, 2019 04:01 - 43 minutesNicolas Cage may not have hit the 100 movie plateau yet, but this is episode #100 of #CageClub Prime... and what a way to celebrate! While there are far more legitimate/credible actors in Running with the Devil than you'd expect, there's far less David Lee Roth than there should be, which is quite disappointing. In this episode, we continue to celebrate The Autumn of Cage (carefully worded so as to avoid snarky double entendres about The Fall of Cage) with our second new movie in as many mont...
099 A Score to Settle (2019)
August 13, 2019 12:01 - 42 minutesIt's taken more than seven full months, but we've finally gotten to our first Nicolas Cage movie of 2019: A Score to Settle! The bad news first: this is not a very good movie. The good news: not only is it a new Nicolas Cage movie (which in and of itself is a wonderful thing), but it's fun as heck to watch and to talk about. We're going guestless this episode so that we can dive deep into all of the wild and wacky nonsense that this movie serves up. We talk about this film's ties to Fight Clu...
#CageClub Revisited: The Boy in Blue (1986)
June 20, 2019 04:01 - 1 hourHere it is: the final (for now) episode of #CageClub Revisited! Sure, we have some huge movies left to cover, but we're going out rowing with The Boy in Blue. In this episode, we pour one out for the missed opportunity that was the national pastime of sculling, admire Nicolas Cage's chiseled physique, and take a trip down memory lane to the origination of the euphemism "compromise" for having sex. Thank you all for joining us on this ride. Print out that final (again, for now!) #CageClub bing...
#CageClub Revisited: Gone in 60 Seconds (2000)
June 06, 2019 04:01 - 1 hourIt won’t take us a full 72 hours to re-watch Gone in 60 Seconds, but we appreciate the generous amount of time you’ve given us for this episode! In this episode, we join Nicolas Cage on his hunt for Eleanor, albeit with a much smaller crew than the one he assembled, and marvel at all of the many, many similarities between this movie and the original Fast and the Furious. If you’re a fan of #CageClub Revisited, you’re not going to want to miss this episode, as it includes a very important upda...
The CageClub Podcast Network Celebrates its 1000th Episode!
June 04, 2019 04:01 - 2 hoursIn August 2015, we released our very first podcast and proceeded to tear through Nicolas Cage’s filmography at a breakneck pace. We had no idea that we'd continue after we finished Cage’s filmography, but we asked, “What’s next?” and went from there. After nearly four years, we are releasing our 1,000th episode. In this episode, Joey Lewandowski talked many of your favorite CageClub Podcast Network hosts: Mike Manzi of Third Time’s A Charm, Joe Two of 2 Fast 2 Forever, Chris Podcasts of Now ...
#CageClub Revisited: Army of One (2016)
May 23, 2019 04:01 - 1 hourWedding bells are in the air — not at CageClub HQ, just in the world in general — and we’re continuing the journey we began last episode with something new! We’re just trying to get a sword through customs as we hunt for OBL alongside Nicolas “The G” Cage in Army of One! In this episode, we look back at the career of Russell Brand, wonder why Nicolas Cage doesn’t do more comedies, and find a startling number of similarities between this movie and Birdy. Mike also tries to guess more of Joey’s...
#CageClub Revisited: Birdy (1984)
May 09, 2019 04:01 - 2 hoursIt's the time of the year where wedding bells are in the air, and we're kicking off a four episode arc of #CageClub Revisited around something old, something new, something borrowed, and something blue. First up: something old! We're headed way back in time to Nicolas Cage's seventh acting credit, Birdy, on this very special episode of our show. In this episode, we look back at the career of Matthew Modine, discuss the relationship between his and Nicolas Cage's characters, and wind up confus...
#CageClub Revisited: Lord of War (2005)
April 25, 2019 04:01 - 1 hourWe’re continuing our month of 4Kage (Nicolas Cage in 4K) as we travel around the globe with Cage and Jared Leto (who looks an awful lot like Zac Efron) in Lord of War! In this episode, we realize that this movie is very difficult to follow when you’re not hearing the dialogue, so we take an audio detour and help out past #CageClub guest, Walt Hickey, with his @NicCagePlotBot! We also fantasize about what a luxurious life it would be like to be a gunrunner, admire Jared Leto’s cocaine Ukraine,...
#CageClub Revisited: Knowing (2009)
April 11, 2019 04:01 - 1 hourApril’s the fourth month of the year, so we’re celebrating Cage in 4K this month (aka 4Kage). As we revisit Knowing, we realize: the numbers are the key to everything. In this episode, we’re inspired by the dedication of P.S. I (Still) Love Hoffman, and we try to stay focused and only talk about the movie. Will that work? Watch and listen along and find out! We discuss whether or not the ending is a copout, wonder why no one believes Cage, and debate whether or not Cage steals something (for ...
098 Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse (2018)
March 28, 2019 15:01 - 1 hourIt’s been a while since Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse hit theaters, but now that it’s available on Blu-ray and VOD, we’re finally able to chat about it! We knew that for such an important #CageClub movie, we’d need to bring in the heavy hitters… the guys who dedicate their entire podcasts to Marvel movies and comic book movies. Joining us as we thwip, swing, and flip our way through the multiverse are (most of) the hosts of HTML and X is for Podcast, Nico Vasilo, Kevo Risse, and Jonah Rub...
#CageClub Revisited: The Humanity Bureau (2017)
March 28, 2019 04:01 - 1 hourConsidering how not-good The Humanity Bureau is, it may seem a little surprising that we're revisiting it less than a year after covering it for #CageClub Prime. Lest ye forget that we are never above lumping things in with a really shoddy theme -- like our "Month of Weather-ish Movies!" -- nor are we above blowing through the movies we're less excited to re-watch so that we're (eventually) left with exclusively good and/or fun movies. With both of those explanations in mind, join us as we sl...
#CageClub Revisited: The Frozen Ground (2013)
March 14, 2019 04:01 - 1 hourThe Frozen Ground marks Nicolas Cage's second team-up with John Cusack, and it's in the running for their worst collaboration (though that honor, if you will, likely still goes to Arsenal). For a movie with such a stacked cast of "that guy!" guys, it's a real shame that this movie isn't better than it is. But if you've been looking for a podcast where we watch a movie that features ASAC Schrader, 50 Cent with a ridiculous wig, and Vanessa Hudgens getting taken more times than you can count --...
#CageClub Revisited: City of Angels (1998)
February 28, 2019 04:01 - 1 hourFollowing his epic three-part action trilogy, Nicolas Cage took a hard left turn toward City of Angels so that he could sit on stuff with Andre Braugher and stand way too close to Meg Ryan. We’re headed back to Los Angeles to listen to the sunshine, awkwardly hover near bubble baths, and get taunted by Nick Offerman. One thing that we totally forgot to touch on, which is perfectly understandishable when you consider that we watch movies for Revisited basically on mute, is that this movie’s so...
#CageClub Revisited: Zandalee (1991)
February 14, 2019 04:01 - 1 hourZandalee is the kind of movie that you remember parts of (but forget the rest) and wonder, upon rewatch, why isn’t everyone talking about this movie all the time? In honor of Valentine’s Day, we opted to watch the movie that most closely resembles a Skinemax film in Nicolas Cage’s filmography. Featuring Erika Anderson (who cannot keep her clothes on), a re-pairing with Judge Reinhold, Marisa Tomei (in a part so small you’ll wonder how she won an Oscar within a year or two of this movie’s rele...
#CageClub Revisited: The Runner (2015)
January 31, 2019 04:01 - 1 hourWe recorded the #CageClub Revisited episodes for both The Runner and Raising Arizona on the same day, and it's hard to find two Cage movies more different in quality. Do yourself a favor and don't watch this movie. Please. While it plays (very slightly) better without us talking over it, The Runner is a boring (but decently well shot!) movie that struggles to get going or find a point. It's perfunctory and an oddity. That said, we spend almost the entire runtime of this episode talking about ...
#CageClub Revisited: Saturday Night Live (9/26/92)
January 17, 2019 04:01 - 1 hourSaturday Night Live kicked off its eighteenth season with an episode hosted by Nicolas Cage and a performance by Bobby Brown. Cage isn't in a ton of the sketches, but Tiny Elvis and Baby Names are all-time greats! This is a strange episode of #CageClub Revisited to listen to -- if you can even find the original episode to watch along with us -- but try to enjoy our trip down memory lane to revisit Tiny Elvis, Asswipe Johnson, and Jan Hooks as Hillary Clinton. Note: Our #CageClub Revisited ep...
#CageClub Revisited: Raising Arizona (1987)
January 03, 2019 04:01 - 1 hourWe kind of goofed when we did Raising Arizona for the initial run of #CageClub. It was early in our run and we both loved the movie so much that we didn't really take notes on it. This is our chance to atone. This movie is just about perfect, and we hope you enjoy it as much as we do. I'd chalk it up as a win if you watch this movie, even if you don't listen to this episode. Watch it, enjoy it, and love it. Note: Our #CageClub Revisited episodes are meant to be listened to while watching the...
097 Between Worlds (2018)
December 25, 2018 04:01 - 1 hourWe're closing out 2018 with Between Worlds, the EIGHTH Nicolas Cage movie to be released this year. To celebrate this momentous occasion, we've welcomed in Sean Welsh and Megan Mitchell, the masterminds behind Glasgow's Cage-a-rama 2: Cage Uncaged! (#BringCage2Glasgow) In this episode, we try to make sense of the logic of the Between Worlds universe, figure out how many moments were made just to become Nicolas Cage GIFs on the internet, and wonder whether Joey's hair blindness helps him or hu...
#CageClub Revisited: Trapped in Paradise (1994)
December 20, 2018 04:01 - 1 hourWe're continuing our trek through the holiday season with another Nicolas Cage Christmas film: 1994's Trapped in Paradise! While the movie isn't as good as our last holiday episode, we were joined by Cara Gael O'Regan of the Wistful Thinking podcast to journey to the small town of Paradise and admire this movie's bright lighting, amazing wardrobe, and seemingly infinite hats. We also take time to appreciate the wonderful Madchen Amick (also known as "Madchick," perhaps), while wondering if sh...
096 (Sort of) Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse (2018)
December 09, 2018 15:00 - 14 minutesRecorded live from a parking lot outside of a movie theater, welcome to a mini-bonus episode of #CageClub about Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse! We'll be back to cover this movie in its entirety when it hits VOD or Blu-ray in 2019, but as has become tradition when Mike and Joey see a Cage movie in theaters together, here's a mini-review of the movie. Spoiler alert: it's really great and you should see it as soon as you can.
#CageClub Revisited: The Family Man (2000)
December 06, 2018 04:01 - 2 hoursHappy December! 'Tis the season to celebrate by watching Nicolas Cage Christmas movies. Today, we're watching The Family Man and veering from the darkest timeline to opt for one where we chose love and family instead of work. In this episode, we do our best to focus on the movie as we figure out why Don Cheadle is the weirdest and worst angel of all-time, why Nicolas Cage didn't spend more time figuring out his life by talking to his daughter, and longing for a movie where we see family man C...
#CageClub Revisited: Left Behind (2014)
November 22, 2018 04:01 - 1 hourHappy Thanksgiving! We racked our brains to figure out the most holiday-appropriate Nicolas Cage movie to watch for today. There's a Thanksgiving Day parade at the end of The Weather Man, but we've revisited that one already. Instead, we watched Left Behind: a movie where a family is separated, sinners from saints, forever! That felt appropriate. In this episode, we look back at one of the worst movie that Nicolas Cage has ever made and wonder why these types of movies feel like self-parody w...
Special Announcement: We're on Patreon!
November 13, 2018 20:01 - 13 minutesVisit our Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/cageclub In 2015, we had an idea: we were going to watch every Nicolas Cage movie and record a podcast about each. After finishing in 6 months (at an irrational pace of 3 movies per week), we moved on to cover the movies of actors like Keanu Reeves, Charlize Theron, and Shia LaBeouf. Here's the thing: we have so many more ideas for podcasts! We're launching shows for Tom Hanks and Tom Cruise in early 2019, and dropping seasons of Cinemakers from ti...
#CageClub Revisited: Snake Eyes (1998)
November 08, 2018 04:01 - 1 hourSnake Eyes opens with the greatest sequence in any Nicolas Cage movie. (Is this true? Maybe.) Cage is on fire and the suspense is hard to beat. It's a shame, then, that the rest of the movie never quite captures that energy. In this episode, we re-watch the movie that inspired our love of film conspiracies (you've got to have at least five people... it's a requirement!) while we also admire Brian De Palma's filmmaking style, Carla Gugino's affinity for genre pictures, and the weirdest (and sl...
#CageClub Revisited: Season of the Witch (2011)
October 25, 2018 04:01 - 1 hourMike has been itching to watch Season of the Witch again since first watched it, and since we're out of spooky Nicolas Cage movies for October, here we are! Cage's character in this film, Behmen, is considered by some to be his worst character of all-time, but are things really that bad? Honestly, it's tough to say, because we started playing a new game on this episode that distracted us almost entirely from the movie. If you've ever wanted to half-watch Season of the Witch while listening to...
095 Teen Titans Go! To the Movies (2018)
October 17, 2018 23:00 - 50 minutesIt’s been more than 20 years since the death of Superman Lives, but Nicolas Cage finally got his chance to play Superman in Teen Titans Go! To the Movies! While he’s far from the center of attention here (that honor belongs to the Boy Wonder), it’s clear that the writers and directors of this film cared that he got a chance to play the part, as his character (and the rest of the film, really) is littered with in-jokes and references and homages to the universe that means so much to him.
#CageClub Revisited: Mandy (2018)
October 11, 2018 04:01 - 2 hoursWe were so excited to watch Mandy (and then watch it again, and again, and again...) that we couldn't wait to do a Revisited episode. Recorded the night after the movie hit VOD, our Revisited episode of Mandy (which was actually recorded before we recorded our original episode!) comes immediately after we had finished watching the movie for the first time. Joined by Brian Rodriguez of High School Slumber Party, we dive headfirst into the world of weird and wonder that is this movie to talk ab...
094 Mandy (2018)
October 04, 2018 16:00 - 1 hourMandy is widely considered by many to be Nicolas Cage's best movie in years. While we know he's made a handful of great movies since his last critical darling... we probably agree with the sentiment. Mandy rules. It's a gorgeously intense (and intensely gorgeous), drug-fueled journey through a land of madness. To join us on this adventure, we welcomed back into the fold a co-host of Monkey Club (RIP Monkey Club), Christian Larson, who last joined us for Seeking Justice. This is the point in t...
#CageClub Revisited: Fire Birds (1990)
September 27, 2018 04:01 - 1 hourYou know that expanding brain meme, where each level of consciousness relates to an even greater level of awareness? Some people think Top Gun is great, but Fire Birds is the equivalent of someone pulling a full Lucy and using 100 percent of their brain. Like Nicolas Cage in the film, Fire Birds is the greatest! Sure, it may be nothing more than shameless propaganda to encourage young boys and girls to join the military, but who cares? There are helicopters! Video games! Semi-blind periscope ...
#CageClub Revisited: National Treasure: Book of Secrets (2007)
September 13, 2018 04:01 - 2 hoursNational Treasure: Book of Secrets is bigger, more sprawling, and more successful than its predecessor. But is it better? We're once joined by the Hoff Bros., Kyle and Brian, to journey around the world as we kidnap the President of the United States and discover the lost city of gold beneath Mount Rushmore. Adding Ed Harris and Helen Mirren are really big additions for the franchise, but who would the franchise have added if we had ever made it to a third National Treasure movie? Who's on yo...
#CageClub Revisited: National Treasure (2004)
August 30, 2018 04:01 - 2 hoursNational Treasure is, arguably, Nicolas Cage's biggest movie of all-time. But when you're watching it for a second, third, or fourth time, how does it hold up? We brought in the Hoff Bros., Kyle and Brian, to talk about history, sexism, and stealing the Declaration of Independence. Is Riley a role model? How good or bad of a villain is Sean Bean? And why oh why won't Nicolas Cage let Diane Kruger talk? All of this -- and much more! -- on this episode of #CageClub Revisited. Note: Our #CageCl...
#CageClub Revisited: Face/Off (1997)
August 16, 2018 04:01 - 2 hoursWhat is there to say about Face/Off, the biggest, boldest, and best (?) of the three movies in Cage's action trilogy, that hasn't already been said? Just like the last #CageClub Revisited episode (Leaving Las Vegas), we had to step up our game and cover one of Cage's all-time biggest films for two guests new to our podcast universe... including one who'd never seen either movie! (We fixed that in a hurry.) With nearly two and a half hours of absolute wonder -- and 10 face waterfalls -- Face/O...
#CageClub Revisited: Leaving Las Vegas (1995)
August 02, 2018 04:01 - 1 hourOn this (and the next) episode of #CageClub Revisited, we were joined by two (!!) guests brand new to the CageClub universe, so we know we had to step our game up. We kicked things off with Leaving Las Vegas, the film Nicolas Cage won an Oscar for, and the one Elisabeth Shue was robbed of an Oscar for. (Next episode, we'll go even bigger -- both literally and figuratively -- with Face/Off, so you'll want to come back for that.) We obviously love Nicolas Cage around these parts, but there's so...
