  • National Treasure - Casting Cage Ep 35 - Bucky's Basement Podcast

    Ever wonder what the Founding Fathers did in their spare time? Yeah, us neither. But Nic Cage sure does in the 2004 blockbuster (?) National Treasure! Have you seen it? Yeah? And did you love it?? Yeah??? Hold on, we're going to guess how old you are....

     
    This is one of Nic Cage's most well known movies. It's a Disney flick. It focuses on conspiracy theories, long lost treasure, and American History. Starring Sean Bean, Diane Kruger, Jon Voight, Harvey Keitel, and the dude who's in the Hangover that's hardly in the Hangover. Love it or hate it, we're going to watch it for the listenership.

  • Matchstick Men - Casting Cage EP 34 - Bucky's Basement Podcast

    On this week's Casting Cage episode, the guy's review 2003's Matchstick Men.  You've seen it, right? Ridley Scott flick, believe it or not. Yeah, Sam Rockwell is in it, too. It got 7.3/10 on IMDB and has a 83% score on Rotten Tomatoes...you sure you haven't seen it? No? Hmm. Well, neither had we, actually. Take that back, Bucky did see it a long time ago, but clearly forgot the plot, so...yeah. 

     
    Well, we break it all the way down. You into Long Con films, yeah? Good. Because we have a great episode on a (great? Good? So-so?) Con-man film. You can totally trust us

  • The Light That Parents Tight - Fast Pitch Ep 30 - Bucky's Basement Podcast

    This week Fast Pitch gets weird with the title “The Light That Parents Tight.”

     

    What starts as a baffling phrase turns into three wildly different movie pitches. Bucky delivers a twisted tale of overbearing parents who discover their kids reading a classic children’s book. Juicebox dives into a sci-fi/horror/love? story that explores how far new parents will go to fix a broken relationship. And Oldboy? He cashes in on a sequel to his earlier pitch, Shelter Our Darkness, Then Chicago.

     

    Confusion. Chaos. Creativity. Welcome to Bucky’s Basement.

  • Adaptation - Casting Cage Ep 33 - Bucky's Basement Podcast

    This week, the guys at Bucky's Basement review 2002's Adaptation for another Fast Pitch episode. Where to begin...it's a fictional film about real life screenwriter Charlie Kaufman, adapting real life novel, The Orchid Thief, for the big screen,  unsuccessfully... ? Yeah, we confused ourselves, too. Starring, Nic Cage in a dual role, Meryl Streep (she is hot), and the fabulous Chris Cooper (where do i know him from? He's the angry Dad in many a film).

  • Many Imps - Fast Pitch Ep 29 - Bucky's Basement Podcast

    This week on Bucky's Basement,  we have a Fast Pitch episode. The Sack giveth out the title "Many Imps." And Bucky is pissed because he doesn't know what an imp is.

     
    We've got three fresh movie pitches: Juicebox delivers us a long lost, legendary taping of a mysterious game show, Oldboy doles out a story about a Matriarch playing a devilish game with her family over her MLM fortune, Bucky spins us a prequel to a beloved 80's classic, and lastly, and  AI drops a pitch  about a inherited cabin infested with reality-altering imps.

  • Windtalkers - Casting Cage Ep 32 - Bucky's Basement Podcast

    On this week's episode of Casting Cage, the guys review John Woo's 2002 WWII epic, Windtalkers. Nic Cage plays a shell-shocked soldier tasked with guiding a Navajo code talker safely through the U.S. invasion of Saipan. Is one stab with a bayonet lethal? Is Peter Stormare's character secretly a foreign agent (that accent...)? And whatever the hell happened to Christian Slater?!!!! He's so cool!

  • The Stairway Caller - Fast Pitch Ep 28 - Bucky's Basement Podcast

    On this week's Fast Pitch episode, the guys draw the title 'The Stairway Caller.' Does a title like that lend itself more to Paranormal Horror or Rom/Com? Listen to find out which direction Juicebox, Bucky, Oldboy, and ChatSmith take their movie pitches.

     
    Also, we have an interesting story from Bucky where he gets star-struck by Kid Rock! True story.

  • Sonny - Casting Cage Ep 31 - Bucky's Basement Podcast

    Bucky's Basement presents a unique episode of Casting Cage this week, where we review a film directed by Nicolas Cage: 2002's "Sonny" (Cage does cast himself an interesting minor role, one Acid Yellow, which we delve into). This film stars James Franco as the titular Sonny, a male prostitute in 1980's (?) New Orleans, pimped out by his mother, Jewel (played by Brenda Blethyn). There is a lot to unpack here. 

     
    Why is it so hard to determine what decade this movie takes place in? Why does Sonny have a problem with someone sipping sizzerp? Why Sonny's clients trying to stiff him when he did such a good job with the (ahem) stiffing? And who got "Helen Hunted" in that fiery car explosion from the trailer? Find the answers to all these burning questions, only on Bucky's Basement!!
