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…

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 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…

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.

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.

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…
