Through Nic and Thin

1 Star!

Ever since I was just a little boy, I've always loved daddy longlegs! To be clear, I HATE spiders, but love, love, love, me a good DLL (which are opiliones, NOT spiders, yuck!). They are an ancient, non-venomous species who cluster together stay warm - how cute is that??? So imagine my surprise, nay, my shock when I went into the movie theater expecting to see a movie that celebrated Earth's most fascinating creature and instead I see a mystery/horror/thriller starring a "transformative" Nicolas Cage!! I will not be watching Longlegs (2024) again! Also the person sitting next to me kept eating all my popcorn...

PS - for a good time call: (458) 666-4355

This week, we watched Nicolas Cage's A Quiet Place aka Arcadian (2024), finally (Steve had a work thing). After a long reprieve, Hanna and Steve are back and better than ever!!! Except...they really don't know what certain words mean. Here are some helpful definitions:

Arcadian - relating to an ideal rural place (not what we said in this pod)

Homophone - two words having the same pronunciation but different meanings

Dessert - a sweet course eaten at the end of a meal (not canned vegetables)

Muppet - a portmanteau of the words "marionette" and "puppet"

Excellence - this podcast...

Enjoy!

zzZZzz...zzZZzz...huh? What? Who goes there? Shhhh, it's okay, baby, it's just your favorite podcasters infiltrating your dreams to tell you about the brand new Nicolas Cage/A24 collaboration. The movie is Dream Scenario (2023) and it might just be one of the highest rated flicks of the year, and one of Nic's favorites! Give us a listen while you do your holiday shopping, why dontcha?

Welcome back everyone! First time in a long time that Hanna and Steve go back-to-back with some pods. You might say we're...ready for RETIREMENT??? My goodness - is that the greatest joke ever told? Wow...we did it...

Anywho - happy listening to our latest installment of this Nicolas Cage extravaganza: The Retirement Plan (2023) costarring Ron Perlman, Jackie Earl Haley, Ashley Green, Owen from Dodgeball, and Raven-Symone's mom from The Cheetah Girls!

Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo! We watched Butcher's Crossing, and boy do we have thoughts...

Great Nicolas Cage screams + a below average plot = Sympathy for the Devil (2023)...Actually it equals, like, A LOT of Nic's movies, but this one is certainly one of them. Not sure what else to say, but we had some fun chatting about this flick and cutting in some incredible moments, so enjoy! Don't do anything I wouldn't do...

Greetings goblins and ghouls! And welcome to a very special episode of Through Nic and Thin where we played a bit of Nicolas Cage's first foray into the world of video games! Hope you all don't mind that this especially spooky podcast is a few days late (but certainly not $33 short, eh? Eh? It makes sense if you listen), but hey, gather three of your closest friends around a campfire and hear us fumble our way through understanding horror genre video games and how to pronounce the word "horror." Stayed tuned to the very end for some our favorite lines - it's pure, unadulterated Nic straight to the veins...or ears, I guess...

PS - Happy birthday to our number one fan, Alex!! This one's for you, champ.

SPOILER ALERT

Nicolas Cage is in the movie The Flash (2023). If you are at all curious about the movie and are looking for a detailed breakdown, this podcast is not for you. BUT, oh my that's a big BUT, if you're looking for two lovable hosts blabber about the most random cameo this side of the Mississippi, this podcast has your name written all over it!

We have to run because there's a line of people handing us checks, but before we go, check out our friends on the What We Watched Last Night podcast!

Hey y'all! We watched the omnipresent Renfield (2023) where Nic finally plays one of his three all time desired roles of Dracula (listen to find out the other two). I'd describe the movie overall as hyper violent, but it knows what it is. It's a little bit Tarantino, it's definitely a little bit Micheal Mann, it's kind of a cosmic gumbo. It almost moves to the beat of jazz. #iykyk

We had some minor technical difficulties which resulted in this week's pod being a day late...but you don't want to hear excuses do you? Huh? Do ya? 

Thank you as always and see you next time!

YEEHAW!!! After a quick, hour-long horse ride to central New Jersey to an independent movie theater (the only one within 100 miles showing this week's flick), we are back with another podcast for you fine folks! That's right, Nic Cage dropped a move this weekend out of no where like a SoundCloud rapper (relevant reference, right?). We watched, The Old Way (2023), a modern spin on Westerns that is not modern or a spin but sure is a movie. If you are here for the banter, then listen to the first half. If you are here for the movie review/recap, listen to the second half. If you are simply here to listen to our sultry voices in the new year, listen to the whole thing! See you next time ;)
