Face/Off - S09 E67

Shoot The Hostage

This week Dan and Sarah take a deep dive into John Woo's 1997 masterpiece of mayhem, Face/Off.

Strap yourselves in as they dissect the film's ludicrous plot, gravity-defying action sequences, and the career-defining performances of Nicolas Cage and John Travolta.

Dan makes a valiant attempt to untangle the film's convoluted science while Sarah ponders the logistical nightmare of swapping all body parts. They also discuss the film's questionable family dynamics and debate whether it's acceptable to introduce your foster child to the joys of face swapping.

Plus, Dan delves into the murky depths of Nic Cage Facts, revealing just how close Cage came to donning the Superman suit and how many times he's walked down the aisle. (Spoiler alert: it's more than you think!)

Season 9 runs until 24th February.
