Bucky’s Basement Podcast

On this weeks episode of Casting Cage we're taking on the hard to find film by David Lynch, "Wild At Heart".  Starring the one and only Nic Cage, Laura Dern, Willem Dafoe,  and an absolutely unhinged performance by Diane Ladd as Dern's mother.  This movie is a gem if you can find it, and if not just listen to this episode where we break down the movie with spoilers.

What's worse? A toothache or leprocy?

Fast Food. A multi headed hydra of salt, sugar, and saturated fat. And it's delicious.

On this week's episode of "Break Up Letters" Juicebox breaks up with Fast Food, much to the disappointment of Bucky.
