Cage Match

We get meta in this week's episode as twin screenwriters Charlie and Donald Kaufman square off against 777th degree sorcerer Balthazar Blake.

Little known fact, Charlie Kaufman was originally asked to adapt the film from the Fantasia short, and some things just had to be left on the cutting room floor before it could make it to the screen. Specifically the masturbating.

Oliver Stone's work returns to shine a light on how ignorant we are regarding recent American history. Case in point: we don't know the difference between the FBI and CIA, and continuously call Camp Peary "CIA School". We mine everything we can from the five minutes of screen time Cage has as Hank Forrester and throw him into the ring with H.I. McDunnough. How do we get these characters from opposite sides of the country together you ask? You just might find your answer in...THE CYBERVERSE!

Our first fight in Cage Match is a...err...controversial start to the series as we watch Oliver Stone's 2006 docudrama World Trade Center. We want to stress that we have the deepest respect for the victims, first responders, and everyone affected by the attack on September 11, 2001. Now listen as three dum-dums stumble their way through a hypothetical scenario in which National Treasure's Ben Gates faces off against Sgt. John McLoughlin at the 9/11 Memorial!

In celebration of Nicolas Cage's birthday, January 7th, we introduce a new podcast discussing the finer points of a great actor's filmography. Namely, what would happen if every one of his characters fought each other? In this first episode we discuss our own histories with Cage and get into the analytical mind of Benjamin Franklin Gates.
