Battle in Seattle marks our first true CageClub Podcast Network crossover, as both Charlize Theron and Channing Tatum are in this movie! The Watch The Theron and #MagicMics podcasts crossed over to cover this (disappointing) movie, directed by Charlize's long-time boyfriend (and Mike's mortal enemy) Stuart Townsend, in his directorial debut.

You may not know how to pronounce In the Valley of Elah -- or even know what it's about -- but it's definitely a movie you should see. In the Valley of Elah marks one of Charlize Theron's all-time best performances (so far, at least) and doubles as one of her best films yet.

In the history of the CageClub Podcast Network, we've never tackled a show quite like Arrested Development, or Charlize's specific arc within it. Spanning five episodes in the show's third season, the For British Eyes Only/Mr. F storyline is a fan favorite that also doubles as not-even-close-to-politically-correct. Rita corny, Michael.

How much you enjoy Aeon Flux depends on the type of movie you think you're about to watch. If you want to see a movie where Charlize Theron kicks a lot of ass (and looks good doing it), you're in luck! If you're looking for something cohesive and coherent and well-rounded, well... you might want to keep looking. Like other ambitious sci-fi from this century, one of us (Mike) found it right up his alley, even if it didn't quite live up to his expectations. Joey, on the other hand... well, he might want to keep waiting for something else.

Like Monster just a few short movies ago, North Country represents another prestige Charlize Theron drama that earned her an Academy Award nomination. While she's undeniably great in the movie (along with a slew of other actors all at or near the top of their game), recommending the movie is a tough ask due to the subject matter and the fact that the movie feels less than the sum of its parts. If you're able to stomach the oppressive levels of sexism in this period drama that marked a seismic shift in eliminating sexual harassment in the workplace, you'll see another role for Charlize that's a true culmination of everything she's done to this point, as well as a look forward to her future. Just don't say we didn't warn you: this one's a tough watch.

Today's film was a made-for-TV movie that attempts to tackle, appropriately, The Life and Death of Peter Sellers. But, as it turns out, the life and death of Peter Sellers was filled with events in which he was an unlikable mess, and the movie was so forgettable that it's hard to recall whether or not we even see him die. At the very least, we have a terrific Stanley Tucci as Stanley Kubrick appearance.

Head in the Clouds reminds Joey and Mike of a lot of different movies, and almost none of the comparisons are flattering. It's not that this is a bad movie, per se, but it's boring, unfocused, and tonally inconsistent. Oh, you mean those are qualities of bad movies? Well, then I guess it's a bad movie!

Monster marks the high-water mark in Charlize's career, netting her Oscar and Golden Globe wins. Little did we know, though, how tough of a watch this would be. In her portrayal of hooker-turned-serial killer Aileen Wuornos, Charlize taps deep into her well of acting chops and pulls out a raw and terrifying performance.

While there's great behind-the-scenes trivia about Charlize Theron -- plus the on-screen reunion between her and Mark Wahlberg that we've all been clamoring for since the near-masterpiece film The Yards -- this is a movie you can pretty safely skip. As for this episode, though? A MUST-LISTEN!

In the history of the CageClub Podcast Network (and the nearly 500 episodes we've released so far), rarely have opinions been as split about a movie as they are here. Is Waking Up in Reno a terrible movie, or is it a wonderfully mindless reprieve from the first-half sludge of Watch The Theron? The answer, as it turns out, depends on who you ask.
