We’ve got so much to talk about this week! Teen Titans Go: To The Movies is our main event but we also cover a few of Cage’s very weird cameos (fake noses, cinnabar and all), as well as the wild story about the Tim Burton/Kevin Smith/Nic Cage Superman movie that never was. Our guest is the cohost of the 91 Donkey Lane podcast, Nate Lopez.

“They brought you into this world. They can take you out.” In 2017’s Mom and Dad, Nic Cage and Selma Blair (watch out for our spinoff podcast “The Blair, Which? Project”) are parents who are struck by a worldwide psychosis that makes them want to literally murder their children. It’s a very stylized horror comedy and dare we say… a bit fun? From a rant about anal beads to the angriest rendition of the Hokey Pokey you’ve ever heard, this is peak Cage Crazy. Featuring a great guest, TV and film producer Adam Bradshaw.

Nic Cage is the captain of a sinking ship, which is a great metaphor for this 2016 movie that is a disgrace to the true story it tells. Instead of watching this movie, watch the infinitely more compelling monologue about the USS Indianapolis from Jaws. But also listen to this episode, because it’s a fun one. Our guests this week are the cohosts of “Boy Detectives Presents” on Twitch.tv/2MBStudios, Anthony Zonfrelli and Will Van Antwerp.

This charming 1983 low-budget romance far exceeded our expectations and is a new favorite movie of our guest, singer-songwriter Molly Walburn. This episode we discuss scary clown dolls and even scarier chest hair. Plus, Molly performs a lovely cover of “I Melt With You”!

We’re revisiting a movie that our guest, Michael Trainor, watched when he was WAY too young. 8MM has a great cast (Gandolfini! Keener! Phoenix! Stormare! REEDUS?) that it wastes on a terrible script about snuff films and hardcore porn.

It’s Christmas! The perfect time for a Soulless Capitalist to find out what would happen if he had married his college sweetheart (and became the titular Family Man). Do you want this cake? If so, listen to this episode. Featuring Toonami’s Dana Swanson.

We watched this movie so you don’t have to. Featuring improvisor Mike Laderman, a thicc martial arts alien, Tony Jaa outclassing everyone else on screen and a whole bunch of CGI shurikens.

The Oscar-winning screenwriter of BlacKkKlansman (and Coen Brothers enthusiast) David Rabinowitz is our guest and we sure are glad to have him. In this movie, Nic Cage and Holly Hunter are two lovable dummies who kidnap a baby. Find out where this movie lands on the Cage Gage of Craziness vs. Good Acting (spoiler: it’s our first entry in this quadrant). Plus, we introduce Cage Bingo!

Comedian David Thomas helps us dig into the movie that spawned a million memes. This cult classic movie, about a 80’s businessman who gets bitten by a vampire (or does he?) destroyed the careers of almost everyone involved in it. It’s also Nicolas Cage’s favorite movie he’s ever been in. It’s truly a wild ride.

It’s a Very Sam Rockwell Episode of Unlocking the Cage! Chloe Zwiacher from the podcast True Tales of The Illuminati joins us to dig into the realism of Nic Cage’s portrayal of OCD, 2003 mens fashion, con artists with daddy issues, and most importantly, 😍 Sam Rockwell 😍. Or maybe not - this whole episode might just be a con within a con within a con? Listen and find out!
