On this weeks episode of Fast Pitch the guys draw the 3 word title "A Different Cut".  Will they write a barbershop movie or take this in a different direction entirely?  Tune in to find out.  

Nic Cage as a jacked gangster, Sam Jackson as a tough cop with a watery eye, Stanley Tucci as...Stanley Tucci, David Caruso as a guy who should have taken more acting classes, Ving Rhames as Marsellus Wallace, and Helen Hunt star in this remake of a movie from 1947. Will this movie live up to the 5.9 rating on IMDB or will the guys have a different opinion. Tune in the find out.

It's time for another episode of Fast Pitch.  Where we draw random words out of a sack to create a movie title, then take 15 minutes to write a "Fast Pitch" for a movie with that title.  We give our dream cast, give it a tagline, and tell you our Movie Marriage (which two movies "got together" to make this movie). Tune in to see what the guys come up with this week in Bucky's Basement.

THIS EPISODE HAS MAJOR SPOILERS!!

On this special episode of Casting Cage, the guys review the brand new horror flick, Longlegs! Does the movie deserve all the hype? Does Nic Cage deliver the performance of a lifetime or does it get away from him? Is Blair Underwood more prolific that Nic Cage? Find out one the weeks episode of Bucky's Basement.

Well we finally made it.  Not to the end, no far from it. But we made it to the pinnacle of Cage's career... or did we?  Does this Oscar winning performance really  live up to the hype or was it a down year for the Oscars?  Is Elisabeth Shue a good actor, or is she just really hot?  What happened to Mike Figgis after this movie?  We'll answer some of these questions on this weeks episode of Casting Cage.

It's Christmas in July on this week's episode of Casting Cage so we all put on our ugly sweaters, boiled up some egg nog (is that what you do?) and set down to torture ourselves almost as much as being with your in-laws for the holidays. (Just kidding, we all love our extended family...right?) 

Anyways, this Christmas romantic comedy is sitting at a whopping 10 percent on Rotten Tomatoes, and you're probably thinking that there's no way a movie with Cage, Jon Lovitz, and Dana Carvey could be that bad...and that was our thought going into it too.  Tune in to see where we landed on this forgotten Christmas movie.  

We're diving into another Nic Cage "Rom Com" this week with It Could Happen To You.  This 1994 nepo baby vehicle explores the relationships between a gold digger, a cop with a heart of gold, and a failed actress (also with a heart of gold).  Will this movie charm us, or will it end up relegated to the "never watch again" category.  Tune in to find out.

This week we're going back into the cage to review another Nic Cage film.  This week we watched the "Comedy Thriller" Guarding Tess.  Is Doug a good Secret Service agent?  Is that one guy wrong in every movie he's in?  Are Tess and Doug secret lovers?  Tune in this week for these answers and more.

On this week's episode of Casting Cage we've finally hit rock bottom...or have we?  The 0% rating on Rotten Tomatoes would suggest that, but maybe this movie has a trick or two up its sleeve?  Tune in to find out.
