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…

The Croods 2 - #057 2:03:07

2:03:07

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…

Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse - #056 1:41:02

1:41:02

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…

Teen Titans Go! To the Movies - #055 1:16:33

1:16:33

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…

Astro Boy - #054 2:11:31

2:11:31

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…

The Ant Bully - #052 2:01:55

2:01:55

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…

The Croods - #051 1:55:19

1:55:19

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…

Never On Tuesday #050 2:05:40

2:05:40

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…

USS Indianapolis: Men of Courage - #049 2:57:19

11M ago2:57:19

2:57:19

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…

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…

Red Rock West - #047 2:21:40

12M ago2:21:40

2:21:40

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…

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…

The last time Nicolas Cage played a struggling screenwriter it netted him Oscar gold, 7 years later he teamed up with one of the greatest writers working today and ended up with his second nomination while playing dual roles. That’s right, Nic plays twins in this film and is absolutely brilliant as both parts. Join us as we breakdown the incredibly…

What happens when you take a classic story from 1843 everyone has already heard a thousand times, pay a warehouse full of animators to painstakingly hand draw the animation in the era of Pixar box office dominance and toss two obnoxious mice doing their best Mr. Bean impression over half of the film? A critical and box office failure that would all…

As a boy, Nicolas Cage grew up watching Nosferatu, Cabinet of Dr. Caligari and of course the original Dracula with his dad Augustus so being able to play the dark lord on screen had always been a lifelong dream. In 2023, after 40 years in film, Nic was finally able to sink his teeth into the role he was born to play and absolutely knocked it out of…

National Treasure Book of Secrets - #042 3:11:36

3:11:36

In Hollywood you’d better believe if you make $350 million on a vaguely original idea you’re getting a sequel, so it’s no shock that Disney brought back the team from 2004’s National Treasure in 2007 for another history inspired treasure hunting adventure. Unfortunately, as is often the case with sequels, the follow up basically copy and pasted the…

2:49:33

Ghost Rider 2 broke Nicolas Cage’s spirit and sent him on a path to reignite the spark he had before breaking into big budget action blockbusters so it makes perfect sense that one of the main people responsible for Spirit of Vengeance would help Nic start his late career renaissance that would eventually lead him back to the mainstream. So join us…

In the early to mid 90’s films starring an antagonizing pain in the ass character who slowly drops their guard only to realize the object of their animosity was actually their best friend all along were all the rage. While Driving Miss Daisy and The Bodyguard managed to gain critical and financial success respectively, Nicolas Cage’s foray into thi…

Sandwiched between Vampire’s Kiss and Wild at Heart is an Italian film largely forgotten by critics and audiences alike that is the only project Nicolas Cage has ever done outside of the Hollywood system and is nearly impossible to get your hands on these days. So why does this film exist? Was Vampire’s Kiss so detrimental to Cage’s career that he …

In 1997 Nicolas Cage and Simon West teamed up to make the first summer blockbuster action film to feature Nic as the leading man with Con Air, then a full 15 years later they teamed up again to make possibly the last with a critical and box office bomb. But does this film deserve the hate it got from critics and audiences alike? Yes, yeah it totall…

Laura Dern and Nicolas Cage had amazing chemistry both on and off screen for Wild at Heart, so David Lynch decided to use that lightning in a bottle to set the stage for a little avant-garde concert film he had planned with sadly recently departed Twin Peaks actress/musician Julee Cruise. So, without further ado let’s dive briefly into the delightf…

Ah David Lynch. A man who can make every moment of a film memorable, albeit in most cases bizarre. But what happens when you team him up with an actor who is also capable of making every line and gesture equally as memorable?

It’s hard to believe that Nicolas Cage has been acting professionally for 40 years, has over 100 credits to his name and he has never once been in a Western, well that was until now. In fact in 2022 Nic shot two of them back to back just to make up for lost time, one was Butcher’s Crossing and the other was a film one critic summed up by calling it…

Well, you get a mediocre movie with a bafflingly strange character who is a shell of what made him interesting in the first place.

3:13:54

Believe it or not, once upon a time Nicolas Cage was considered “too quirky” to star in an action blockbuster but luckily for us, Nic took this to be a challenge rather than a roadblock and in 1996 he embarked on a nearly 20-year action voyage that only Ghost Rider Spirit of Vengeance had the power to shipwreck. So how in the name of Zues’s butthol…

Nic Cage, John Cusack, John Malkovich, Steve Buscemi, Ving Rhames Danny Trejo and Dave Chappelle hopped onto an airplane with Jerry Bruckheimer and the guy who directed the Rick Astley video for Never Gonna Give Your Up, not a joke, and together they managed to get every freak and creep in the universe to churn out an action classic that may just b…

Everyone has to start somewhere, even if you’re the grandson of a legendary composer and nephew of one of the greatest directors of all time, though I’m sure that helps with getting auditions. Nicolas Coppola was no different when he co-starred in a variety show television pilot opposite the one and only Crispin Glover long before his turn as Georg…

Sandwiched between Rush Hour 1 and 2, a pre-accusations Brett Ratner tapped everyone’s favorite “Man” to star in a heartfelt loose adaptation of It’s a Wonderful Life that has largely been forgotten despite pulling in $125 million at the box office. We watched as he burned up in The Wicker Man then saw him get pelted by fast food in The Weather Man…

In 2011 Sony pictures, desperate to hold onto the film rights to Ghost Rider, made a movie so unbearably bad that it single handedly ended the franchise, lead to the rights of the character to revert back to Marvel Studios and forced Nicolas Cage to quit doing blockbuster films for good. Join us as we suffer through an absolute dumpster fire that n…

What originally started as a sexy teen exploitation film to capitalize on the popularity of a 1982 Frank Zappa song turned into a surprise hit that has since become a cult classic but more importantly it featured the very first starring role of a man who would go on to become a legend.
