Episode 48 - Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse

October 16, 2019 10:56 - 58 minutes - 53.8 MB

Cam is happy we did a good movie for once. Marielle has Cage News! Nicky's just here for a good time.  It's the 2018 animated Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, critically acclaimed and gorgeously directed. But is it a Cage movie? As Spider-Man Noir, he plays a supporting role. Worth it? Listen to find out. DISCLAIMER: The audio quality is not as good as usual. We have tried our best to clean it up, but there are significant echoes in parts and sadly the mics picked up Marielle's childre...

Episode 47 - Knowing

October 04, 2019 13:36 - 55 minutes - 51 MB

Oh my, we're finally back! Yes, from the dead and wishing we were! And we wish we could predict the future to stop us having to watch this movie!  It's 2009's Knowing, in which Melbourne stands in for Boston, due to the extremely similar skylines and number plates. And it's the return of our old friend Men Bendellson.  We are now hoping to return to our regular bi-weekly schedule. How long will it last? If only someone could predict it. 

Episode 46 - Wild At Heart

March 27, 2019 11:57 - 58 minutes - 53.8 MB

What does David Lynch even do every day? What was Laura Dern thinking? Is that Willem Dafoe's real face? How many times can you swear in three lines of dialogue? Is the lead character's name Sailor? What's going on? Did Cam even watch the same movie the others did? These questions and more are answered in our brand new episode on Wild At Heart (1990). 

Episode 45 - National Treasure: Book of Secrets

February 13, 2019 10:14 - 1 hour - 56.3 MB

We're back and guess who hated the second National Treasure even more that she hated the first one? Hint: it rhymes with 'Barielle.' Also we change up the introduction, and say a big welcome to our loyal fan. BANGERS AND MASH BUBBLE AND SQUEAK SMOKED EEL PIE HAGGIS!!!!!

Episode 44 - National Treasure

January 31, 2019 09:45 - 59 minutes - 43.2 MB

We're back for 2019! Except we recorded this last year so in fact with was made we weren't back. It's like having a time machine! Speaking of time machines, Marielle wishes she had a time machine so she could warn herself before watching this movie. It's the one you've both been waiting for, it's Cage vs Conspiracies, it's National Treasure! 

Special episode - GQ Video Breakdown Breakdown

October 03, 2018 11:10 - 43 minutes - 39.9 MB

We're back, and instead of a regular episode, here's a special. Nicolas Cage did a GQ video breaking down his iconic roles. We watched it, talked about it, and broke down the break down. You can watch the video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j_WDLsLnOSM  Theme music by Skin Mechanix, available at Magnatune.

Episode 43 - Joe

August 12, 2018 07:27 - 1 hour - 59.4 MB

We're in the South again. Why are we always in the South? Nic Cage tries to out-accent everyone else and fails, Tye Sheridan is the only one who can act apart from the homeless guy, there's a homeless guy, and we have trouble figuring out what's happening without subtitles. Hit up our Patreon, give us a few bucks, and help us make more shows more often. Y'know, if you want. UnCaged is entirely un-affiliated with Squarespace and Stamps.com, they are bad and do not use them please. 

Episode 42 - Trapped in Paradise

June 06, 2018 11:47 - 47 minutes - 43.5 MB

Christmas has come early! Marielle, Cam and Nicky discuss the Christmas movie Trapped in Paradise, in which Cage plays Cage, Lovitz plays Lovitz, Carvey plays Carvey, Madchen Amick does nothing of consequence and the whole thing is just...sigh. Just...sigh.  Music from Skin Mechanix, available at Magnatune. 

Episode 41 - The Boy in Blue

May 24, 2018 12:31 - 47 minutes - 43.4 MB

It's a movie where Nicolas Cage...rows a boat. Gently down a stream. That's pretty much it. Marielle now owns this movie, Cam felt owned BY this movie, and Nicky can't stop saying 'EH' in a poor Canadian accent. But seriously what even is this movie? Like, for real, I can't even describe it. Music from Skin Mechanix, available at Magnatune.com  

Episode 40 - Astro Boy

May 02, 2018 11:14 - 47 minutes - 43.5 MB

Astro Boy. He's brave. He's gentle. He's wise. But the 2009 CGI adaptation is none of these things. Bill Nighy? Kristen Bell? Sam Jackson?? Eugene Levy??? Charlize Theron??? Donald Sutherland????Why are any of them here? Why were we? Who can say?  Chuck us a few bucks on our Patreon if you're so inclined. Music by Skin Mechanix, available at Magnatune. 

Episode 39 - Windtalkers

March 27, 2018 10:38 - 58 minutes - 53.5 MB

We're back! We took three months off and chose to return with a terrible decision, 2002's whitewashed war movie Windtalkers. It should be the story of two dispossessed people forced to fight for their oppressors, but no, it's about a dumb white guy and his mates. Marielle loves Adam Beach, Cam didn't watch the whole movie and Nicky is just generally resentful. Music from Skin Mechanix, available at Magnatune.  

Episode 38 - The Family Man

December 26, 2017 12:20 - 54 minutes - 49.5 MB

Ho x3! It's a special Holiday Edition of UnCaged and we are joined by writer Erin Riley for this Cagey Christmas movie, 2000's The Family Man. On one level we discuss issues of class and social changes, but on another we crush hard on Téa Leoni and on yet another, we discuss if this film could be made in a post-9/11 world. It's all the holiday fun as we ponder the fate of Family Cage and the children, and Erin reveals why she wanted to do this movie since we started two years ago. Have a...

Episode 37 - Captain Corelli's Mandolin

December 07, 2017 10:42 - 54 minutes - 49.7 MB

Mamma Mia! Here we go again! It's another movie where Cage's accent is all over the place, into stereotype territory, particularly odd since he is an Italian-American playing an Italian! It's Captain Corelli's Mandolin, based on a very depressing book. Is it a depressing movie? Well, it has a cast of notable Greek stars like John Hurt, Christian Bale and Penelope Cruz. For more, you'll just have to listen. Check out our Patreon at www.patreon.com/uncagedpod

Episode 36 - Drive Angry

November 22, 2017 23:36 - 54 minutes - 50.2 MB

Cage is back from Hell to kick ass and drive...angry. Plus he has a gun for some reason, and he's pursued by a cut-price Christopher Walken. Double plus, Amber Heard beats men up and kicks them in the balls. Big minus: THAT sex scene. Please stop trying to make Sexy Nic Cage happen. It's not gonna happen. We apologise for the delay, and we really hope to get back on schedule soon. In the mean time, you can donate to our Patreon to help that happen. https://www.patreon.com/uncagedpodcast

Episode 35 - Snowden

September 27, 2017 12:46 - 53 minutes - 48.6 MB

An Oliver Stone film about conspiracies and how bad the government is? Surely not! Nicky, Cam and Marielle sat down to watch Snowden, a biopic with an ending you can guess about things you already know. And Nicolas Cage? Barely even there, so why did we bother? Marielle is bothered by Joseph Gordon-Leavitt's voice, Nicky is bothered by Nicolas Cage's sideburns, and Cam is just generally bothered. Music by Skin Mechanix, available from Magnatune. Our Patreon: www.patreon.com/uncagedpod ...

Episode 34 - Next

September 05, 2017 12:01 - 59 minutes - 54.4 MB

Nicolas Cage can see 2 minutes into the future. We wish we'd done that 2 minutes before we watched this. Comedian Lucy Valentine (SBS Comedy, Cracked, Boonta Vista Socialist Club) joins Cam, Marielle and Nicky to discuss the dead animal on Nic's head, the wasted talent of Julianne Moore, the gaping plot holes, and Jessica Biel. Plus, Cam is extremely upset, Lucy got drunk to cope, and Marielle wants rewriting credits. You can check out Lucy on Boonta Vista Socialist Club and on Twitter as...

Special episode - The Room

August 03, 2017 12:10 - 57 minutes - 52.6 MB

Oh hi everybody! You may know The Room as a cult classic, the Citizen Kane of bad movies. And, amazingly, Nicolas Cage is nowhere to be seen. But we watched it anyway, and recorded our thoughts as a special bonus episode, not part of the Cage canon but still bad.  So, so bad. We did not like it, we did not, it's bullshit, oh hi Mark.   

Episode 33 : Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance

July 20, 2017 05:16 - 54 minutes - 50.3 MB

Have you been disappointed when a movie didn't have a giant skeleton pissing fire? We always are, until now. Ghost Rider/Marvel expert Terry joins Cam and Nicky for a second time to discuss Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance. Idris Elba? Christopher Lambert? Anthony Stewart Head? Nicolas Cage? A giant skeleton driving an earth mover? What could go wrong? You can donate to our Patreon here: https://www.patreon.com/uncagedpodcast 

Quick update about Patreon

July 13, 2017 07:31 - 1 minute - 1.57 MB

Just a quick update about our new Patreon, and how you can help us make a little bit of money to keep the lights on. There is a new episode next week, we promise you. 

Episode 32 - Ghost Rider

June 27, 2017 12:50 - 57 minutes - 52.7 MB

We're back! And our recording equipment didn't work, because Cam's laptop is 1000 years old and made of duct tape. So we have a bootlegged iPhone-recorded version. Old mate Terry, aka "Broseidon" joins Nicky and Cam (and an absent Marielle, there in spirit) to discuss the craptacular Ghost Rider, featuring a flaming skeletons, a big chain, Peter Fonda and Eva Mendes as a lamp. Our website, www.uncagedpodcast.com, is now live! Find us there, or on social media: we're @uncagedpod on Twitter,...

Episode 31 - Seeking Justice

June 01, 2017 12:36 - 53 minutes - 49 MB

When Nicolas Cage's wife January Jones is horribly attacked, Guy Pearce makes him an offer he can't refuse...JUSTICE. Cage is an everyman pushed too far in this movie judged bad enough to pull from cinema, but not bad enough to deny Adam Sandler a Razzie.  Cam has severe issues with the plot, Nicky has severe issues with the beard, and Marielle didn't finish watching it. Our website, www.uncagedpodcast.com, is now fully live! Check it out! You can follow us on social media at facebook....

Episode 30 - Rumble Fish

May 03, 2017 11:19 - 58 minutes - 53.2 MB

The Adventures of Rusty Brains...no, Busty Frames. No, wait, Trusty Blames...ah hell, Matt Damon Dillon. And his friend Mickey Rooney Rourke. It's the Francis Ford Coppola cult classic Rumble Fish, starring Nicolas Coppola Cage except not really. Marielle Janine loved it, but was under heavy sedation at the time, much like the movie. Nicole Patrice didn't mind it and wasn't sedated, but can't stop making Marielle laugh or saying "Busty Flames". And Campbell Peter was mostly bored, but what e...

Episode 29 - Gone In 60 Seconds

April 18, 2017 13:08 - 57 minutes - 53.1 MB

We're back! The gang return for an in-depth look at a movie with no depth. This time, Anne returns to examine Gone In 60 Seconds, a remake that didn't need a remake. Cage stars as Memphis, who must steal 50 cars for Doctor Who, or else the bus will explode. Or something like that. Cam is very annoyed about the lack of logical conclusions, Nicky is, as usual, upset about the hair, and Marielle hates her life choices. Music from Skin Mechanix, available at Magnatune. Stay alert: our websit...

Episode 28 - Valley Girl

March 08, 2017 12:19 - 56 minutes - 51.3 MB

Like, ohmigod! So, like, the totally bitchin' Nicky, the, like, tubular Marielle and the, ohmigod so grody Cam are back to discuss the, like, most eighties movie everrr, all it's missing is Ronald Reagan in a DeLorean. Cam is reduced to a coughing fit, Marielle is upset about pants and Nicky, once again, has important haircut feelings. Music from Skin Mechanix, available from Magnatune.  Find us on Twitter at @uncagedpod or on Facebook at UnCagedPodcast.

Episode 27 - Trespass

February 22, 2017 11:00 - 40 minutes - 36.8 MB

It's a home invasion movie, with a difference. The difference is, we had to watch this one. Well, Cam did. Marielle loves a good home invasion...movie, and Nicky helps Cam rewrite this one. Plus, we keep calling Ben Mendelsohn Men Bendelsohn, Cam watched it on his phone, and we run out of things to say very early. Website coming soon, keep an eye out. Follow us on Twitter at @uncagedpod or on Facebook.  

Episode 26 - Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans

January 18, 2017 11:34 - 1 hour - 55.3 MB

He scored a touchdown! Cam, Nicky and Marielle watched the 2009 Werner Herzog masterpiece Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans, a regurgitation of a 1992 film which replaces Harvey Keitel with Nic Cage and plot with...well, a different plot. Of sorts. Cam has another "what the fuck is this" experience, Marielle is upset by Val Kilmer's hair and Cage's unsafe firearm, and Nicky thinks the dog was the best actor.  We have a website launching VERY SOON. Stay tuned. In the meantime, co...

Episode 25 - A Christmas Carol

December 26, 2016 07:14 - 47 minutes - 43.8 MB

The movie was live-action, to begin with. It's Christmas, and in between eating themselves sick and arguing with racist uncles, Marielle, Nicky and Cam examine the not-classic adaptation of a classic novel, complete with Nicolas Cage as a dooooooooomed Jacob Marley, Simon Callow as a Doctor Who character and Kate Winslet as the woman collecting her fee.  We hope you have a safe, happy and prosperous holiday period and can join us again for 2017, where we will continue to torture ourselve...

Episode 24 - World Trade Centre

December 14, 2016 11:07 - 46 minutes - 42.2 MB

Oliver Stone made a movie about the 9/11 attacks and it's not what you expect, because no conspiracies are involved. Nicky, Marielle and Cam are back to review the disaster movie World Trade Centre, which is a disaster as well as being about a disaster.  The long absence is over, let Season Two of Uncaged begin. PS: Cam may or may not have actually watched the movie. 

Episode 23 - Zandalee

October 13, 2016 06:47 - 1 hour - 59.5 MB

We're back, and we're drunk! Cam, Marielle, Nicky and guest Jen discuss the 1991 *erotic thriller* Zandalee, with the red-hot sex combo of Nicolas Cage and Judge Reinhold. All of them have been drinking, because it's the only way to endure this movie.  

Episode 22 - It Could Happen to You

September 14, 2016 13:16 - 1 hour - 59.9 MB

If you won millions in the lottery, would you give it away? Would you take writing lessons like the writer of this 1994 romantic 'comedy' should have? Nicky, Cam and Marielle examine the Cage/Bridget Fonda movie It Could Happen To You where everyone is either cartoonishly nice or cartoonishly evil. Marielle has strong empathy with Rosie Perez, Cam doesn't, and Marielle reveals her Tucciology. Rate and Review us on iTunes to help us out. We apologise for the poor audio in some sections of t...

Episode 21 - The Rock (Edited Highlights)

September 01, 2016 11:23 - 37 minutes - 34.1 MB

We had a recording problem, and lost large chunks of audio! But never fear. Cam, Nicky and Marielle persevere with their discussion of the Cage/Bruckheimer/Bay collaboration The Rock, which is everything you'd expect.  The edited highlights are provided and include trademark feminist rants, hair feelings, bizarre plot points and more. Sadly lost forever is Cam's Sean Connery impersonation. It's probably for the best. Uncaged is released under a Creative Commons, non-distribution share-al...

Episode 20 - The Croods

August 09, 2016 13:32 - 54 minutes - 49.9 MB

It's our first fully animated movie, about the modern stone age family who live in a magical world of strange creatures and stranger drugs. It's The Croods, where Nicolas Cage is a CAAAAVE MAAAAAN, Ryan Reynolds is...well, Ryan Reynolds and Emma Stone is an oddly feminist prehistoric teenager. Nicky and Marielle discuss their kids' taste in movies, Cam didn't understand a single thing that was happening (as usual) and everyone is amused by a bizarre wig. Again. Rate and review us on iTunes...

Episode 19 - Leaving Las Vegas

July 28, 2016 13:00 - 50 minutes - 46.7 MB

Another happy fun installment of a podcast about delightful happy things. Marielle, Nicky and Cam try to find what fun they can in a movie about alcoholism, sex work, suicide and nihilism. Aren't you glad you subscribed? Nicolas Cage won an Academy Award. Glad someone got something out of it.  Nicky shares her anal sex tips, Cam is bored and swears he's not an alcoholic (hi Mum), and Marielle would rather do anything than sit here for another two hours or however long this godforsaken movi...

Episode 18 - Pay the Ghost

July 13, 2016 13:35 - 54 minutes - 49.8 MB

Marielle, Cam and Nicky "enjoy" the direct-to-Netflix horror sensation Pay the Ghost, where Nicolas Cage looks for his son for ninety minutes. We think. It's not clear. The kid's name is Charlie. That's probably important. Nicky has an epic rant about pagan appropriation, Marielle thinks it had potential and Cam doesn't remember the movie much. Thank god he took notes. Better audio than a couple of previous ones; please excuse the occasional buzz. Cam causes this by speaking too close to h...

Episode 17 - Season of the Witch

June 28, 2016 11:57 - 1 hour - 59.7 MB

Why not try a holiday in Sweden this year? It's Nicolas Cage and Ron Perlman as the most American knights ever, fighting against demons, witches and an enchanter called...Tim. Nicky & Marielle have a long feminist rant, Cam has trouble pronouncing Ron Perlman's name and forgetting the names of characters, we ponder why Christopher Lee is in this movie and whether or not this would be better with Arnie & JCVD or all three Hemsworths.  Music from Skin Mechanix, available on Magnatune. ...

Episode 16 - Moonstruck

June 16, 2016 13:42 - 1 hour - 56.5 MB

What nationality is Cher supposed to be? Should she have won an Oscar? Is that Cage's own chest hair? How easy is it to not have an affair? What is going on with this movie and what's the moon about? Are there werewolves? Is this a werewolf movie? These are the big questions Nicky, Cam and Marielle tackle in this 80s-tastic analysis of Moonstruck.  Moonstruck: The Musical is coming soon; here's a promo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X1Z4zK7teVU  Music from Skin Mechanix, available at...

Episode 15 - Face/Off

May 25, 2016 11:19 - 1 hour - 59.3 MB

We have been bullied and cajoled into giving the audience what they want. Marielle, Nicky and Cam examine the dubious science and extremely Cage-faced ridiculousness of John Woo's 1997 classic of the surgical-face-swap genre, Face/Off. Cam loves every minute of it and psychoanalyses the characters, Nicky is upset by facial hair and Marielle is very upset by inaccurate medical prescriptions. Music from Skin Mechanix, available at Magnatune. UnCaged is released under a Creative Commons lic...

Episode 14 - The Sorcerer's Apprentice

May 11, 2016 12:05 - 53 minutes - 49 MB

Finally, a Disney family fantasy movie that you could make with literally a cast of potato sacks and sexy lamps. Nicky, Marielle and Cam are joined by their friend Lana to talk about an unnecessary adaptation where Nick Cage helps save the world with the aid of a sorcerer called Dave. And SCIENCE! And something.  Cam enjoys it more than he thought but also hates it, Marielle gets the giggles, and Nicky can't see dogs without smiling.  Music from Skin Mechanix, available at Magnatune. U...

Episode 13 - Guarding Tess

April 27, 2016 12:56 - 48 minutes - 44.2 MB

Nicolas Cage is a Secret Service agent who has to keep his lips...firmly...FASTENED as he struggles with protecting Shirley Maclaine. Nicky, Marielle and Cam discuss this light comedic adventure, how much they love Shirley, Richard Griffiths and the Cageness of blowing off a man's toe. Also, apparently, domestic household tips. Plus, all new Cage News! Find us on Twitter now at @uncagedpod, or on Facebook!  Theme music by Skin Mechanix, accessible at Magnatune.

Episode 12 - Dying of the Light

April 12, 2016 14:01 - 42 minutes - 39.1 MB

Nicolas Cage is...old. And he's ready for revenge on an old enemy. Marielle, Cam and Nicky discuss the perhaps obscure but psychologically interesting Dying of the Light, a film disowned by Cage, his costars and the filmmakers.  We apologise for the odd sound in parts - there were technical issues with our recording.  Find us on Twitter now at @uncagedpod, or on Facebook!  Theme music by Skin Mechanix, accessible at Magnatune.

Episode 11 - Peggy Sue Got Married

April 02, 2016 03:58 - 53 minutes - 49.1 MB

It's Back to the Past, in a movie with the best and worst of the 80s and the 60s combined. Kathleen Turner, we agree, should have been the biggest movie star of her time. We watched Nic Cage's breakout performance, but it's Kathleen we couldn't take our eyes off - we sure wish we could take our eyes off Cage's proto-Trump hairstyle and our ears off his bizarre accent choice.  UnCaged is produced by Cam Rhodes, technical production by Derek Fish, executive producers Cam Rhodes, Marielle Fish...

Episode 10 - Fast Times At Ridgemont High

March 16, 2016 10:46 - 57 minutes - 52.2 MB

Cam, Marielle and Nicky are back, with a new and much-more-professionally recorded podcast, but their movie choice gives them pause. It's Nic Cage's very first movie and he's barely even in it, without any lines. Is there any point? There is agreement, disagreement, analysis, laughter and disgust about all the rape. This is a movie, as Marielle says, we are doing only as a technicality. We're very sorry. And you should be sorry for us. Find us on Twitter now at @uncagedpod, or on Facebook! ...

Episode 9 - G-Force

February 25, 2016 12:06 - 50 minutes - 46 MB

It's our first (partially) animated movie, and one generated by a Script-o-Matic 5000, G-Force. A secret force of guinea pigs and a mole try to save the world from...Bill Nighy? Nic Cage is a very disturbing mole. Moley moley moley the NOOOOOOOODES! Marielle enjoyed not having to think, Cam did not, and Nicky makes lots of guinea pig puns. Plus Marielle comes up with an image which you cannot unsee and has some more Cage News! Find us on Twitter now at @uncagedpod, or on Facebook!  Theme m...

Episode 8 - 8MM

February 09, 2016 07:41 - 51 minutes - 47.3 MB

After City of Angels, we were looking forward to a happy movie. We're gonna have to keep waiting. Nicky, Marielle and Cam discuss 8MM, where Nic Cage goes down the sick rabbit hole of snuff movies. We talk about puritanical attitudes to sex, the Americanness of this movie, more Resting Cage Face, and more. Theme music by Skin Mechanix, accessible at Magnatune. This podcast has a language warning. 

Episode 7 - City of Angels

January 27, 2016 11:41 - 55 minutes - 51.2 MB

The team once again watch a movie so you don't have to and boy, should you be grateful you don't have to. City of Angels, a movie where it's a full 90 minutes before anything happens, and it happens...very...slowly. Has Meg Ryan slowly had the life sucked out of her? Does Cage have Resting Angel Face? How disturbing is it when women masturbate to the thought of a creepy stalker angel? We answer these important questions!  Theme music by Skin Mechanix, accessible at Magnatune.

Episode 6 - Adaptation

January 12, 2016 12:51 - 56 minutes - 51.8 MB

The only actor who can out-act Nic Cage? Nic Cage? Cam, Marielle, Nicky and their twins explore the mysterious, time-jumping, mind-bending world of Charlie (and Donald) Kaufman in a movie that couldn't be further from their last escapade. Cam takes it literally, Marielle doesn't and Nicky is disturbed by Cage's chest hair and masturbation. Theme music by Skin Mechanix, accessible at Magnatune.

Episode 5 - Vampire's Kiss

December 30, 2015 04:55 - 53 minutes - 49.2 MB

You don't say! Marielle, Nicky and Cam discuss the movie and the face that launched a thousand memes. Is Nic Cage high on mescaline, a vampire or does he have syphilis? We investigate, discuss and suffer traumatic flashbacks as we unpack the worst, and Cagiest, movie of 1987 featuring fake vampire teeth and terrible wigs. New theme music by Skin Mechanix, accessible at Magnatune. This podcast contains explicit language. 

Episode 4 - Kick-Ass

December 21, 2015 04:38 - 53 minutes - 48.8 MB

Our first film without Cage as the main star, and our first major disagreement! Kick-Ass: clever, feminist morality tale or atonal, ultraviolent mess? Cam, Marielle and Nicky have differing views about the 2010 superhero action/comedy/drama. Nicolas Cage is not the star of this movie, but he steals it and arguably it is all about him. And, is it Kick-ASS, or Kick-ARSE? Should a preteen girl be fighting and shouting obscenities? Who is this movie even about? These are the questions we try to ...

Episode 3 - Raising Arizona

December 10, 2015 11:45 - 47 minutes - 43.5 MB

The 1987 Coen Brothers classic Raising Arizona features Nic Cage in a more laid back, subdued mode...and a lot of screaming. Cam, Nicky and Marielle revisit this ageless classic, explore the deeper meaning and the Coen Bros tropes that have become famous in the years since.  

Episode 2 - The Wicker Man

November 23, 2015 13:10 - 58 minutes - 53.7 MB

"This is a movie for bee lovers."  Nic Cage hits Full Crazy in a remake of a beloved British thriller that is, definitively, god awful, no matter which version you watch. Cam, Marielle, Nicky and special guest Anne discuss what the hell is happening, Cage's terrible police work and what kind of drugs this movie needs to be experienced with.
