Bucky’s Basement Podcast

It's time for another episode of Fast Pitch.  Where we draw random words out of a sack to create a movie title, then take 15 minutes to write a "Fast Pitch" for a movie with that title.  We give our dream cast, give it a tagline, and tell you our Movie Marriage (which two movies "got together" to make this movie). Tune in to see what the guys come up with this week in Bucky's Basement.

THIS EPISODE HAS MAJOR SPOILERS!!   On this special episode of Casting Cage, the guys review the brand new horror flick, Longlegs! Does the movie deserve all the hype? Does Nic Cage deliver the performance of a lifetime or does it get away from him? Is Blair Underwood more prolific that Nic Cage? Find out one the weeks episode of Bucky's Basement.

Well we finally made it.  Not to the end, no far from it. But we made it to the pinnacle of Cage's career... or did we?  Does this Oscar winning performance really  live up to the hype or was it a down year for the Oscars?  Is Elisabeth Shue a good actor, or is she just really hot?  What happened to Mike Figgis after this movie?  We'll answer some of these questions on this weeks episode of Castin...

It's Christmas in July on this week's episode of Casting Cage so we all put on our ugly sweaters, boiled up some egg nog (is that what you do?) and set down to torture ourselves almost as much as being with your in-laws for the holidays. (Just kidding, we all love our extended family...right?)  Anyways, this Christmas romantic comedy is sitting at a whopping 10 percent on Rotten Tomatoes, and you'...

We're diving into another Nic Cage "Rom Com" this week with It Could Happen To You.  This 1994 nepo baby vehicle explores the relationships between a gold digger, a cop with a heart of gold, and a failed actress (also with a heart of gold).  Will this movie charm us, or will it end up relegated to the "never watch again" category.  Tune in to find out.

This week we're going back into the cage to review another Nic Cage film.  This week we watched the "Comedy Thriller" Guarding Tess.  Is Doug a good Secret Service agent?  Is that one guy wrong in every movie he's in?  Are Tess and Doug secret lovers?  Tune in this week for these answers and more.

On this week's episode of Casting Cage we've finally hit rock bottom...or have we?  The 0% rating on Rotten Tomatoes would suggest that, but maybe this movie has a trick or two up its sleeve?  Tune in to find out.

On this week's edition of Fast Pitch the guys draw the two word title "Triangle Hero".  What will they come up with?  Who will they cast?  Will they be defeated by Chat GPT?  Tune in to find out.  

This week on Casting Cage we all got together in the basement to watch Red Rock West. This straight to HBO 90's noir film was nearly impossible to find, which is a shame for a movie starring Cage, Dennis Hopper, Laura Flynn Boyle and J.T. Walsh. Will the guys agree with the 98% score on Rotten Tomatoes or will they have a different opinion? Tune in to find out.

It's time for another exercise in creative writing.  This week the guys draw the title "Who Sleep Exuberant".  What kind of title is that for a movie?  A terrible one, that's what kind.  What will the guys come up with this week.  What will the internet come up with?  Tune in to find out.

On this week's episode of "Are You Not Transportained?" the boys take a ride on the Honky Tonk Party Express.  Is it Nashville's best kept secret? Are the guys creepsters for being the only men on the experience?  Were they just going in circles?  Join us as we discuss Nashville's premiere money making party bus on Bucky's Basement.

17 percent.... 17 percent man.  That's the Rotten Tomatoes score we're currently looking at for Amos & Andrew.  But how could that be?  This is a movie with Nic Cage and Sam Jackson.  Quite possibly 2 of the top names you may think of when someone asks to name iconic 90's actors.  But here we are... 17 percent.  Maybe it was Dabney Coleman's fault for playing such a convincing racist cop. Or m...

It's time for another episode of Fast Pitch here on Bucky's Basement.  This week the guys are writing for the 2 word title "This Matters".  What will they come up with this week and will they be defeated by Chat GPT (Chat Smith)?  Tune in to find out, and don't forget to "tell ya momma-n-em".

On this weeks Transportainment episode the dudes ride the Transportainment OG. The Nashville Pedal Tavern. What will their cover story be and will Bucky's real life job expose them? What are they Pitfall fans now? Who's Margie and why's she partying so hard? Why are they slurring their words? Did they get to visit the Joe C tribute at Kid Rock's Big Donkey Honkey Tonk? All questions will be answer...

On today's very special episode of Breakup Letters, Bucky puts the kibosh with the ever popular, all-powerful Social Media. He's been connected since college Facebook testing grounds up to present day Instagram reels. He's looking to get time back from the greatest time suck of all time. Join us as we encourage him on his journey to splittsville from Mark Zuckerberg.

This week on Casting Cage we're finally coming out of Nic Cage purgatory with the 90's hit Honeymoon In Vegas. Juicebox discusses his hatred of James Caan (is he a good actor or is he just playing the same character in every role?), Bucky struggles to name 5 James Caan movies, and we speculate on who is actually the "Bad Guy" in this movie.

On this weeks episode of Fast Pitch we are trying to write a movie with the absurd six word title "Iceberg Indians, Future Hollywood, Tyrone Square". What will the guys come up with this week? How will Bucky sneak Smoking Ben Affleck into this one? Will A.I. come up with a better idea? Tune in to find out.

On this weeks episode the guys venture out to Opryland to ride the Redneck Comedy Tour Bus. But! This week they brought at guest - their "half-sister" Dana! Join Bucky's Basement this week as they become "turests" in their own city.  Will they become "Redneck Certified"? Can they pronounce Demonbreun? Do they learn how to abuse children?  Is this comedy? Find the answers to all this and more on th...

On this weeks episode of Break Up Letters, Oldboy takes on possible the toughest break up there is. Smoking.  What are his reasons, can he do it, are Bucky and Juicebox supportive.  Tune in to find out.

Nic Cage, Judge Reinhold, Erika Anderson(?) Joe Pantoliano, Steve Buscemi, Marisa Tomei, Aaron Neville, New Orleans, boobs. You would think that list would combine to make a good movie, right? This week we watched the 1991 straight to VHS (and maybe Beta) classic Zandalee. Is it good? Does Cage try a Louisiana accent or nah? Is he wearing a wig? Is anyone in this movie a vampire? Tune in to find o...

It's time for more movie pitches in a 15 minute time limit. This week the guys draw the five word title "Grandparents Age Then Poppers Happen". What kind of crazy ideas will they come up with this week? Tune in to find out.

On this weeks episode we're talking the somewhat hard to find Fire Birds. The guys go through this Top Gun wanna be and analyze Nic Cage's surprisingly subdued acting style. Can TLJ (Tommy Lee Jones) save this movie or is the 9% Rotten Tomatoes score accurate. Tune in to get our take on this weeks Nic Cage movie.     https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0099575/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_1_tt_7_nm_1_q_firebirds
