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 Fa…

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…

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…

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 animat…

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 sci…

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…

In the late 90’s and early 2000’s movie studios were cranking out animated bug movies like crazy for some inexplicable reason, so it makes sense that Tom Hanks decided to cash in on this short-lived craze and produce a theatrical version of a popular kids book while casting some of the heaviest hitters in Hollywood to star in it. Unfortunately, des…

It might shock you to learn that Nicolas Cage’s highest grossing film didn’t come from his Holy Trilogy of The Rock, Con Air or Face/Off, nor his two turns as Benjamin Franklin Gates in the National Treasure series but rather from a 2013 animated film that racked up over half a billion at the box office. So come along with us as we Oonga Boonga our…

In 1989 Cary Elwes, Charlie Sheen, Emilio Estevez, Judd Nelson and Nicolas Cage were already bonified leading man Hollywood stars, so how in the name of God were they convinced to show up as bit characters in a horribly written cheesy as all hell 80’s “comedy” that feels like it was written by a horny 13 year old on acid? We’ll do our best to figur…

What wins between a tough-ass dude who can't catch a break and a free association thinker who is kind of a dick? Join us for the best Bean flick in town and find out if a…

You’d think if you were given Nicolas Cage, Tom Sizemore, Thomas Jane and one of the most fascinating tales to come from easily the most memorable war in history it would make for one hell of a movie and an absolute slam dunk at the box office. You’d think. Instead, we got a boring, pandering mess with some of the worst CGI since Sharknado, a criti…

Get ready for some hog talk because we’ve brought back Darryl Edge of Cage/Rage and new guest, and dangerous sexy person, Tank. The frie…

In the late 80’s, Nicolas Cage was sent a script about a male gigolo which he immediately fell in love with but sadly the script sat on the shelf for the next 15 years since no director wanted to touch it until Nic, at the height of his stardom, said, ‘you know what, screw it, why don’t I direct it myself’. So, grab yourself some protection as we t…

One of our favorite things about doing this show is that we get to talk about the incredible hidden gems of Nicolas Cage’s career that most audiences have never heard of and there’s possibly no better example of that than a small budget indie post-western neo-noir film from 1993 that, despite being Nic’s highest rated film on Rotten Tomatoes, has b…

The hosts of the upcoming Brother Sibling Movie podcast: Meredith and Evan join the gang to talk two very tonally different movies. 1999's snuff-fest: 8MM goes up against show favorite Pig (2021).

Francis Ford Coppola was already a legend in 1986 having made a slew of cinematic masterpieces like Apocalypse Now and the first two Godfather films so it’s not a shock that he was slightly pissed when he cast his nephew Nic in one of his films and he rewarded one of the most celebrated Director’s ever to live by turning his character into a live a…

Oh, hi there, let us just take off these long legs. We went to see Cage in the new Oz Perkins/Neon movie: Longlegs.

A critical and box office failure that would all…
