Face/Off: Swapping Faces, Sanity, and All Sense of Reality
Manage episode 503718406 series 2919545
Buckle up for a hilariously unhinged episode of Entertain This!, where we strap on our best face-swapping tech to roast the gloriously absurd Face/Off (1997). John Woo’s action fever dream stars John Travolta and Nicolas Cage, who trade faces faster than you can say “identity crisis” in a plot that defies logic, physics, and good taste. Our hosts cackle through the film’s bonkers premise, from Travolta’s unconvincing bad-guy strut to Cage’s unhinged scenery-chewing that deserves its own Oscar category. We’ll poke fun at the dove-filled slow-mo shootouts, the questionable science of face transplants, and the sheer audacity of a movie that asks, “What if two dudes literally swapped lives… and nobody noticed?” Is Face/Off a cinematic masterpiece or a gloriously deranged fever dream? Join us as we mock, marvel, and maybe secretly adore this ’90s relic.
Warning: listening may cause an urge to dramatically peel off your own face.
