  • The Death of Superman Lives, What Happened? | The Cage Corner Podcast #4
    Ah, what could have been. Did you know that we were close to a 1990s Superman movie? Did you know that it would have saw Nicolas Cage, of all people, taking on the cape of the Man of Steel? The movie would have brought the famous story line of The Death of Superman to life. It would have given us our first live action version of Brainac and Doomsday respectively. To make it even crazier, it would have been directed by Batman director, himself, Mr. Tim Burton. In this episode of The Cage Corner Podcast, we discuss the documentary, The Death of Superman Lives, What Happened? This episode goes as in-depth as the movies does. Special thanks to our Patrons who made this episode possible. You too can help us get mental health resources into schools, get exclusive content and also dictate which Nicolas Cage movies you want us to cover.

  • #337 | Candyman (1992)
    Say his name five times...we dare you! No, we double-dog dare you to. While Jason, Michael, Freddy, Pinhead & Leatherface were miles deep into their sequels; Tony Todd's hook-wielding, bee-stinging myth of a man was stepping into arguably one of the genre's most important films. 1992's Candyman dared to discuss racism, slavery and even how the horror genre treated people of color and women alike. While we've reached the conclusion that the film still is home to problematic aspects. It's not without merit to say, it's heart was in the right place. While we wait for the upcoming "spiritual" sequel, from Nia DaCosta, step back into nostalgia with the original that started it all.

  • #333: The Curse of Audrey Earnshaw
    We’re conjuring up something spooky for this episode to talk about the coming of age, witch movie, The Curse of Audrey Earnshaw. The movie is now available on VOD and all digital platforms.
