What's So Great About...

Its the gruesome twosome this week, chatting about Ridley Scott's con man CAPER, Matchstick Men. We chat about this VERY watchable movie, Terry hits us with some BOFF and we chat about Cage in all his glory. Also, Terry saw BULLET TRAIN and Andy chats about not wanting to be Tyler anymore... Its a fun one!

Its the gruesome twosome this week as we chat about this movie directed by Spike Jonze and written by Charlie Kaufman (of I'm Thinking of Ending Things fame). Its another snake eating its own tail of a movie..... but does THIS one work? We got 2 Cages, we got Streep, we got it all! Hope you enjoy folks

We're joined by the very funny Edwin Sammon again as we dissect this often overlooked Scorsese movie! Terry hits us with some fun facts, we guess the box office numbers, and then dive into this movie to see if it deserves more respect! Great time chatting with Edwin as always, we hope you enjoy!

Cage season rolls on with 1998's Snake Eyes. Considered by many to be a let down after Con Air / Face Off the year before, but many consider it Cage's finest work! We sit down with Irish comedian/writer Peter McGann to discuss this movie in all its glory. From the iconic opening 15 mins, the twist, the direction, the acting, the LOT. Peter is a man who knows his movies so it was a lot of fun to chat to him about this, and for Terry to get some PROPER discourse for a change. Enjoy!

At long last the podcast returns! And what a movie to kick us back off. We're talking about 1997's Face Off!! We talk about Travolta, Cage, the plot, the acting, the action, the lot!! Of course, Terry gives us some interesting trivia and we look at the box office figures. We also chat about Andy now being a father of 2, Terry fills us in on the Vince McMahon SCANDAL, and we dive deeper into why Marvel's CGI is so shite now. Enjoy!

Its our FINAL week away, but we couldnt leave yous hanging... so we've pulled out a peach from the patreon vaults... Our latest Pitch Meeting Episode!

We're pitching each other 3 movie ideas that we both came up with! Will they get the thumbs up or the thumbs down?!

We got action, horror, drama, simulations, and Timothy Olyphant? You bet!! 

If you like this we have 3 other pitch meeting episodes and a whole bunch more over on patreon.com/whatssogreatabout 

Enjoy!!

Its our last week away (PROMISE), so what better way to prepare for John Woo's Face/Off, than with John Woo's BROKEN ARROW!!

This one has always been a movie of contention with us, as Terry never rated it, whereas Andy ranks it very high indeed. So we are going all the way back to 1996, with John Woo's Broken Arrow. We got Travolta at a TEN, hamming it up big style, we got Christian Slater doing the opposite, we got nukes, we got explosions, we got one-dimensional bad guys and SO much more. Enjoy!!

PS. If you want to hear the rest of this 90's series, featuring movies such as Bad Boys, T2, Die Hard with a Vengeance, Speed and True Lies, please consider becoming a beloved patron!

No new episode this week due to one of us being away and the other one expecting a baby, but FEAR NOT... We reached into our patreon SACK and pulled out 1997's Con Air!

This was for our patreon series Whats So Great About the 90's, but it fits in PERFECTLY with our current Nicholas Cage series.

Cage. Malkovic. Cusack. Buscemi. Trejo. Chappelle.... Meaney? Its BALLS to the wall, and we even have some of our patented B.O.F.F. for dat ass. 

We are back next week with Face/Off!! (Which yes technically was released before Con Air but WHATEVER). Enjoy!

PS. If you want to hear the rest of this 90's series, featuring movies such as Bad Boys, T2, Bie Hard with a Vengeance, Speed, Broken Arrow and True Lies, please consider becoming a beloved patron!

Nicholas Cage...Sean Connery... Ed (motherfucking) Harris, Michael Bay? Its a cocktail for carnage. We discuss the chemistry between Cage and Connery, we talk about how GOOD Ed Harris is, and talk about what a fun ride this movie is. We also chat about Denzel Washington, the Lost World, and Terry needs glasses! (dental plan)
