Subsequent Moviepodcast

It's an absolutely monumental moment in Cagolta Club history this week; they said it couldn't be done, but we've finally found it, a good movie with John Travolta in the lead. Sure, that's partly down to Brian de Palma, John Lithgow, and the world's most bizarre frog sound effects, but we did it.

We're joined once again by our good friend Rose to discuss 1990's Wild at Heart, by David Lynch! An incredible film, featuring one of the most grotesque men to ever live, Nic Cage's Elvis impression, and a heaping helping of Twin Peaks cast members.

How does a movie that features dudes in mesh shirts, people getting incinerated by lightning, eggs everywhere, and a mechanical bullriding contest also manage to be one of the most boring romance-dramas ever made? Just add Travolta and a terrible Texan accent!

We've finally arrived at possibly the greatest performance of Nic Cage's career, Vampire's Kiss! A masterpiece of overacting, soured somewhat by a very 1980's understanding of mental health issues, Vampire's Kiss is still a heck of a time.

NEXT WEEK: 1980's Urban Cowboy!

It's an all singing, all dancing episode of Cagolta Club as we review Grease! What's up with all these 45 year olds playing teens? Why is one of the Scorpions a full on leatherman? Most importantly, are the songs any good?

Stay tuned, because next week it gets crazy, with Vampire's Kiss!

It's yet another Italian-American Stereotype extravaganza this week, as we tackle 1987's Moonstruck! Do Nic Cage and Cher have any chemistry? Why is nobody singing? What's the one missing element that would put this totally fine flick over the top? PLUS, a bite-sized look at Cage's newest movie, Willy's Wonderland, which sucks!

NEXT WEEK: Grease!

Cagolta Club takes a turn for the worst this week, as we dissect 1977's Saturday Night Fever, a movie that for all its hilarious outfits and disco beats, forgets to ever have anything approaching a likeable or sympathetic character.

Next week: Moonstruck!

We're joined this week by poet Arlyn LaBelle to talk 1987's Coen Brothers classic, Raising Arizona! Is this the best movie we've ever done for the show? Almost definitely. Does this movie hate cops and Reagan? Hell yeah it does. What's it like to watch a movie with a smile again? Only one way to find out!

See you next week for 1977's Saturday Night Fever!

Cagolta Club's new theme song is by Alex Keswick, who you can find on Twitter @cellobuster!

It's time for possibly the most bizarre movie we've done yet, as John Travolta dons his Among Us spacesuit for The Boy in the Plastic Bubble! Marvel at Travolta's plastic coffin, his sociopathic tendencies, and a completely uncooperative child actor! Charge those JO crystals, 'cause this one's wild.

NEXT WEEK: 1987's Raising Arizona!

We're taking Nic Cage on for the first time on this week's Cagolta Club, with the absolutely wretched Valley Girl, from 1983! Wooden acting, a dreadful script, an unmoving camera, and a hot MILF; it's Cage without any of the fun.

Next week: 1976's The Boy in the Plastic Bubble!
