We’re back, maybe not a month from last time, but at least it wasn’t a full 2 months… or was it… we’re bad at telling time… but on to the important questions…

Is Nicolas Cage a legitimate acting genius?

An utter piece of silver screen trash?

Or somewhere in between?

This month, we decided to do Summer-y… so Merder chose the modern “classic” National Treasure. Lots of folks swear that this one is a pivotal movie from their youth, but neither she nor Justin had seen it before. Is the movie any good? Are Justin and Merder going to repeatedly confuse the Constitution and Declaration of Independence as they discuss the document that’s central to this film? How’s Nic in it?

All of these questions and more, packed into a tight little podcast for your listening pleasure!

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

Done in 60 Seconds by The O'Mulligans

Follow us on Instagram at @cagematchpodcast to be a part of the show. We’ll have polls for next month’s CAGE-O-METER rating, future giveaways, and much more. You can check out Merder, Justin, and The Farsighted over there too.

The Farsighted is also on Twitter and Facebook too, so join the discussion.

We’ll see you next month with a movie of YOUR CHOICE. Vote below on what we should watch next!
