Victims and Villains

Think you have heartbreak problems? How would they compare to Alicia Silverstone, or Jessica Rothe, in this updated MUSICAL version of Valley Girl.

In this episode we’ll talk about which is better of the two, the soundtrack, Logan Paul and much more!

I really can’t say but it’s cold outside. It’s cold because of the frozen ground and Mister Freeze is nowhere in sight. Fortunately for us Nicolas Cage is because we have a double feature on this episode of The Cage Corner Podcast.

Long before he was ever “The Sexiest Man Alive” or Batman, George Clooney was a bank robber fighting off vampires in, the now cult classic, From Dusk Till Dawn. Cosplayer, Dani Arii (https://bit.ly/315guest), joins us to talk about this 1996 thriller and it applies to mental health. We’ll be addressing the redemption of its characters, the relationship between exclusivity and isolation, healthy practices of mental health and the importance of being vulnerable. We’re still film fans at heart. That means we’re still addressing the jaw-dropping opening, the practical effects and the surprise twist among other things. All this and more on this episode of Victims and Villains!
