We Gauge Cage

Howdy ho, neighborinos. 
'Tis been quite the little while. But when your podcast is built upon a single actor's resume, and the well runneth dry between releases, then you have some gaps. 
Brock and Brian catch up: on Disneyworld, on DeezNutsWorld, on their families and their neighbors and all sorts of fun stuff. They have a draft of the Best Fictional Mommies. 
And then they rewatched 2017's "Mom and Dad," the manic horror/comedy from the guy behind "Crank" and "Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance." The boys pick sides as to who came out on top: Team Mom or Team Dad. Last time Brock and Brian (and their wives) watched this movie, there were no children to speak of. Will they identify more with the patricidal urges, or the Blue Bonnet waistline, this time around? 
It's a fun one. And admit it - you missed us!

The boys are back at it. 

Did you think that last episode had too much ball talk? Did you really expect that to change? If so, then you haven't been paying attention to this podcast. 

On this episode, the boys talk more balls. Big and beautiful. They talk high fashion. 
Then, they draft Vacation Spots (with quite possibly one of the worst picks in any draft they're ever done). 

After all the banter, things get rocky and heated as they dust off Brian's Top 6 (!) Nic Cage movie - World Trade Center - and we get to see if Brian can change Brock's mind in convincing him that this is a high-quality film, and not just a corny, heavy-handed mess. 

Let the games begin!

How can they keep getting away with this?

Brock and Brian hop on the microphone to settle old scores (not THAT "Score to Settle"). 
They recap the weekend that followed the last episode. Virtual Golf. Hottest Wings. Axe Throwing. Shenanigans!

Then the boys get wicked and cast aspersions with their "Movie Roles to Replace with Nic Cage" Draft. It gets...interesting. 

To finish it off, the hosts waste time whilst waiting for The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent, and they take a look back at some of Nic's older films about which they were at the most odds. This week is Honeymoon in Vegas (1992), a rom-com that Brock enjoyed and Brian despised. Will either one budge after a rewatch? Tune in to find out!

What the heck are Nic's Bits, you ask?
Well, Brock and Brian have run out of the important movies starring Nicolas Cage, so they take a trip down memory lane, back to where his career started. 
Brian cultivated each and every small appearance of Nic's over the many, many, many....many years. We watched each and every appearance. We gauged him. 
Before all of that, the boys wax poetic whilst staring into each other's eyes and holding hands, they talk friendship, and they rank the 12 films/projects that they have watched since they prematurely ended the podcast's initial run. 
Enjoyeeeeeeeeeee! 

Ho Ho Ho-ly Pig, it's "Pig" Week!
That's right, you unruly swine. 

Brock and Brian watched Pig. Finally. Nic Cage's highest-rated film to date. It stood atop the Rotten Tomato charts at 100% for many, many weeks. All roads lead to Pig, ladies and gentlepigs. All roads lead to Pig. 

Before that, the boys talk Christmas and Barf (naturally). Then they kneel and pay their respects to Robin Feld's name by hosting an epicurious and delectable draft of....Meats. 

Happy Birthday to the Ground! (and to Brock)
And what better way to celebrate his birthday than to gift the world with his innermost thoughts? Thoughts like, "Huh?" or "Why?" or "What the Ungodly F***?!?" - which happened while watching this latest travesty of a film.
Before we get into this...post-apocalyptic, Western, Kabuki, horror, steampunk, action disaster called "Prisoners of the Ghostland," the boys talk postpartum, they trade hot tips on Christmas Decor, and they draft their ultimate Torture Playlists. 

Enjoy!

Wowzers in the trousers, if you know what I mean. 
Brock and Brian went a little long. Went a LIT-TLE long on this one. 
They talk Tay Tay, we spill ALL the neighborhood tea...but most importantly, we talk at lengths about Brock's new haircut....and then Brian gives a little/tiny/blink-and-you'll-miss-it blurb of breaking news whatever let's move on! We have a real crotchety, grumpy-gills Draft! 

Brock and Brian watched Willy's Wonderland this week. It had potential! It fit the description of "Man vs. Machine." It....didn't have much else going for it. 

Enjoy!

It's not a trick, ladies and gentlemen. Treat yourselves to a shallow dive into the wild world of Nic Cage's hosting work. 
In the bowels of 2021, Netflix released a 6-episode docuseries about....you guessed it...the History of Swear Words, hosted by Nicolas Cage. 
Brian and Brock chose to watch 3 episodes, focused on F**K, SH*T, and P*SSY. Clearly, the classiest and cleanest episode of this entire podcast's history ensues. 
Before that, they talk Halloweeeeeeeen!!!! Mostly. 

Indulge!

Finally. The Croods. We made it, ladies and gentlemen! We've reached the top. 

This movie was sorely needed after last episode's sorry fiasco excuse for a film. 
Brian and Brock grabbed their toddlers and watched The Croods: A New Age, the sequel we didn't even know we wanted. 

Before that, the boys talk about *shocker* poop. They draft their favorite Non-Disney/Pixar Animated Movies. And they express their love for one another. 

Enjoy! Or don't. I'm not your dad. 

This movie is that 2020 was...An under-produced, lassez-faire, "Who gives a care," cluster**** of a film. 
Make no mistake: This is not the least favorite Nic Cage film that the boys have ever watched. But this is the WORST film that the boys have ever watched. 
Before jumping into this floppy, flaccid martial art film, Brock and Brian talk Pumpkin Patchin' and Apple Pickin' (tis the season), and they even the playing field by drafting Attractive Celebrity Men over the Age of 51 that Can Still Get It!

Enjoy.
