Episodes
#42 Adaptation.
March 18, 2018 16:00 - 48 minutes - 49.4 MBThis week we watched Adaptation- Josh's personal favorite Nic Cage movie, and much like The Rock, this is an episode where one of our co-hosts gets WAY too into the movie and the other one has to sherpa the conversation along in an effort to not waste your time. Also, Charlie teaches Josh what a sherpa is.
#41 Sonny
February 11, 2018 17:00 - 1 hour - 60 MBIn today's episode, we watch Sonny - Nic's directorial debut and the unofficial prequel to Tommy Wiseau's The Room, starring James Franco doing an impression of young Nicolas Cage on xanax. Also - the 4th Quarterly Cage Awards!
#40 Windtalkers
February 04, 2018 17:01 - 48 minutes - 49.5 MBWorld War II is a time in world history that's been covered countless times in film, but never before has it been captured with the blinding light of Adam Beach's teeth. Also Nicolas Cage and Mark Ruffalo's mustache are in this too, but oh god. Those teeth.
#39 A Christmas Carol
February 04, 2018 17:00 - 1 hour - 72.6 MBToday's episode is a special audio commentary! That's right, it spans the entire 77-minute runtime of this bland movie that's almost impossible to find, rendering all of this useless. All of it. All hail the time cone.
#38 Captain Corelli's Mandolin
September 24, 2017 16:00 - 57 minutes - 55.6 MBOn today's episode of Into the Classical Music with Charlie and Wikipedia, special guest Josh DiCristo stops by to discuss Nicolas Cage's love letter to his own singing voice.
#37 The Family Man

#36 Gone in 60 Seconds
September 10, 2017 16:00 - 46 minutes - 48.9 MBThe guys watch Gone in 60 Seconds. I'll be honest, I'm phoning in the description this week. THEY'RE NOT ALL WINNERS, PEOPLE.
#35 Bringing Out the Dead
June 18, 2017 16:00 - 46 minutes - 46 MBIn today's film, Nic plays a melting priest who drives a murder van across New York City in Martin Scorsese's sci-fi dystopian epic, set in the dark and gritty future of the early 90s. Kind of.

June 14, 2017 21:00 - 36 minutes - 35.7 MBA part of Josh dies.
#34 8MM
June 11, 2017 16:00 - 49 minutes - 45 MBThis week we take a deep dive into the dark and disturbing psyche of Joel Schumacher as we watch his superhero origin movie/psychological meditation on porno snuff films 8MM. One of these things is true and it's not going to be the one that you want.
#33 Snake Eyes
June 04, 2017 16:00 - 41 minutes - 42.7 MBThis week we talk about a boxing thriller that contains one hell of a Nic Cage performance for about 20 minutes before it turns into a very different (but still good) movie. But I mean, come on. We want a screaming, coked-out Nicolas Cage for the whole movie or none at all. We also talk about how a lot of musicals have the letter "M" in it. We are not smart people.
#32 City of Angels
May 28, 2017 16:00 - 49 minutes - 50.8 MBCity of Angels was an odd cookie to be sure but also everyone's internet connection breaks on this episode and nobody knows how to handle it so that's fun. We're somehow adults.
#30 Con Air
May 28, 2017 16:00 - 43 minutes - 39.5 MBDue to a technical glitch, we re-recorded this episode two months after we originally watched the movie and thought it would be a good idea to not re-watch it. Basically we're as prepared for this episode as Nicolas Cage was for his southern accent. NAILED IT.
#31 Face/Off
May 28, 2017 16:00 - 1 hour - 89.1 MBFace/Off is the greatest movie ever known to man and if any of you disagree, I will literally rip your face off and wear it as a trophy. And in the second half of this episode, we get into the Third Quarterly Cage Awards! Where we talk more about how Face/Off is the greatest movie of all time, but also Nicolas Cage's penis.
#29 The Rock
October 02, 2016 16:00 - 44 minutes - 44.3 MBThis week, Charlie watches The Rock for the 38th time and Josh watches it for the first time. They take very different things from the experience.

September 18, 2016 16:00 - 47 minutes - 47.6 MBJosh and Charlie discuss Kiss of Death, the fact that John Hancock was an asshole, and the secret occult that runs the National Weather Service. 666 ILLUMINATI IS REAL.
#26 Trapped in Paradise
September 11, 2016 16:00 - 1 hour - 61.7 MBThe talented Nicolas Cage and his talented comedian friends star in this painfully untalented movie. Can movies really be described as untalented? Probably not but who knows! Listen to the episode and see for yourself!
#25 It Could Happen to You
July 31, 2016 16:00 - 41 minutes - 41.4 MBIt Could Happen to You might not be one of Nic’s best movies. Could be one of Isaac Hayes’ best movies. Hey, remember when Isaac Hayes was on South Park but then he quit because they made fun of Scientology? Good times!
#24 Guarding Tess
July 24, 2016 16:00 - 50 minutes - 49.1 MBBlah blah blah Guarding Tess was bad, these guys were funny, blah blah blah listen to this episode. Or don't. Go outside or something. Join a dating app. I don't know your life
#23 Deadfall
July 17, 2016 16:00 - 45 minutes - 44.5 MBI know it's bad form to curse in the description of these episodes but oh my god this movie is so fucking weird.

#20 Honeymoon in Vegas
June 29, 2016 04:38 - 44 minutes - 44.6 MBBefore he left Las Vegas... he... had a honeymoon? Sorry, that was stupid. Much like this movie. Much like this episode. Much like this entire podcast.
#19 Zandalee
June 19, 2016 18:02 - 53 minutes - 53.7 MBWhat could possibly outshine a Nicolas Cage performance? That's right. It's Judge Reinhold's Adam's Apple. Welcome to the world of Zandalee
#18 Industrial Symphony No. 1: The Dream of the Brokenhearted
June 13, 2016 00:15 - 44 minutes - 43.6 MBWikipedia describes Industrial Symphony No. 1 as "a short, avant-garde musical play". Josh and Charlie would describe it as none of these things. We would use meaner words. In fact, we do.
#17 Wild at Heart
June 05, 2016 17:31 - 38 minutes - 38.3 MBWhat's weirder than any movie starring Nic Cage? Any movie starring Nic Cage directed by David Lynch. What's weirder than any movie starring Nic Cage and directed by David Lynch? Josh and Charlie trying to do a podcast about it.
#16 Fire Birds
May 22, 2016 17:19 - 43 minutes - 46 MBJosh and Charlie literally can't do anything right. Enjoy as that streak continues with Fire Birds.
#15 Time to Kill
May 20, 2016 03:54 - 38 minutes - 40.2 MBNella puntata di oggi di nella gabbia con Josh e Charlie, i ragazzi guardano ilpellicola, Tempo di Uccidere. Una bella terribile film italiano presentato in molto pessima qualità di persone abbastanza terribile che fanno cose molto terribili e poi dover cose terribili accadono a loro come una conseguenza. Google translate that ya punk-ass bitches.
#14 Packin' Heat
May 08, 2016 16:00 - 24 minutes - 22.3 MBI don't even know where to start so here's what I'll say. Josh and Charlie weren't able to watch a movie this week. They do, however, try to cold-call people who are connected to Nicolas Cage live on-air. Four times.
#13 Never on Tuesday
May 02, 2016 19:54 - 41 minutes - 38 MBNic is in this movie for a grand total of 30 seconds, he's wearing a weird fake nose, his role makes NO sense, and in a fit of rage, Josh tries to convince himself that he was playing an omnipotent God in the movie. So that happens.
#11 Moonstruck
April 10, 2016 16:00 - 46 minutes - 42.3 MBThe guys watch Moonstruck, Charlie struggles to pronounce Cher’s name, and Josh desperately tries to get Charlie to agree to a suicide pact. Look, it's only fair that you guys know what you're getting in to.

April 05, 2016 00:57 - 1 hour - 55 MBOn the first half of today's vaguely-musical double episode, Josh and Charlie talk about Raising Arizona. For the second half, they hold the inaugural Quarterly Cage Awards! Honoring all things weirdly and beautifully Nic Cage.
#9 Peggy Sue Got Married
March 28, 2016 03:39 - 41 minutes - 37.6 MBPeggy Sue Got Married is 1) good, 2) includes large amounts of Nicolas Cage, 3) is not directed by Francis Ford Coppola and 4) does not involve Nic doing a weird voice. One of these is not true. It's the one you all hope it is.
#8 The Boy in Blue
March 21, 2016 00:47 - 31 minutes - 28.8 MBJosh and Charlie watch what is legitimately the worst movies they've ever seen and because Charlie is still recovering from a surgery, he is only able to speak through a text-to-speech app with the voice of a British woman. That should be enough to convince you to listen, right?
#7 Birdy
March 13, 2016 16:00 - 41 minutes - 38.2 MBThis is a movie about a man who's sexually attracted to birds and honestly the strangest thing about it is that the man is not played by Nicolas Cage. This episode gets weird.
#6 The Cotton Club
March 06, 2016 17:00 - 41 minutes - 37.9 MBThis week, Josh and Charlie watch a groundbreaking movie in the Nic Cage movie canon - The Cotton Club. Directed by Francis Kia Sorento Coppola, this film does not delve into the topic of Nicolas Cage pocket watches, but guess who does? I'll give you a hint. It's us.
#5 Racing with the Moon
February 28, 2016 23:58 - 43 minutes - 39.6 MBGirl likes Sean Penn. Sean Penn likes girl. But can they work it out?!! We don't care - we just want to watch Nic Cage dance. And those glorious glorious locks.
#4 Rumble Fish
February 21, 2016 17:00 - 36 minutes - 33.4 MBThis is another one of those movies that Nic is like, kind of in, but mostly it's Matt Dillon playing RUSTY JAMES - a name that somehow no one in the movie (and also Charlie) can stop saying.
#3 Valley Girl
February 14, 2016 20:30 - 47 minutes - 43.2 MBThe guy watch the 1983 comedy that iTunes, Google Play, Amazon Prime, and Josh and Charlie don't want you to see. There's a reason for that.
#2 Fast Times at Ridgemont High
February 02, 2016 02:46 - 34 minutes - 31.4 MBIn this episode we delve into the last of Nicolas Coppola’s onscreen credits before his butterfly-like transformation into the man we know as Nic Cage.
