The word Sack only contains...

On this week's Casting Cage episode, the guy's review the 2006 Oliver Stone flick: World Trade Center. With stars Nicolas Cage, Michael Pena, Michael Shannon, Maggie Gylennhall, Jon Bernthal, and Maria Bello, it's bound to be an instant classic about one of the most tragic days in U.S. history? Right? Right?....right.   Join the guys at Ground Zero as they dig through the plot, attach new Taglines...

This week, we have a very special guest joining Bucky's Basement for a Fast Pitch episode, Nashville comedian:  Shane Soltzfuz   After a sweet Macho Man Randy Savage impression by Juicebox the guys land on a two word title this week: Get Slaughtered! We don't want to spoil the pitches, but we're going into some unique places. Plus, Shane sheds some light on what Bucky is like outside the Basement....

It's 2005. Do you know where your kids are?   This week, we have a Casting Cage episode with the dudes reviewing the Nic Cage cult classic (?), The Weather Man. Starring Hope Davis, Nicholas Hoult, and the ever talented Sir My Cocaine (Michael Caine said in a cockney accent).    We learn Bucky is in Love with Nicolas Cage (it finally happened, you guys). We also get wildly different views on who (...

Yo. We got another hum-dinger of a Fast Pitch episode for you. This week, the guy’s draw the challenging title: “Demonic Victory at Yummy Yard.” While the title certainly invokes a dark presence, you also have a light-hearted side to it. And each pitch goes in a completely different direction. We’ve got evil architecture uncovered, futuristic cyber-punk possessions, and a story about a couple runn...

On this week's Casting Cage episode, the guy's explore 2005's Lord Of War . With stars like the beautiful Jared Leto , so-so Bridget Moynahan , the talented Ethan Hawke ,  charming Eammon Walker , and the enigmatic Donald Sutherland (?), it's bound to be a hit, right? Right?   Loosely based off a real person , the story is that of an international drug runner profiting off war and death. Truly a p...

This week, the guy's draw the unfortunate title of "Chrome Clue Then Timid Stew" for an interesting Fast Pitch episode. Tough, tough title, but they somehow persevere: Crafted Superhero orgin stories, fallen punk rock idols, and a former game show contestant destined for better things. And AI cast Nic Cage in it's movie!! (It's definitely keeping tabs on us)   Also, Oldboy sidetracks into an embar...

Ever wonder what the Founding Fathers did in their spare time? Yeah, us neither. But Nic Cage sure does in the 2004 blockbuster (?) National Treasure! Have you seen it? Yeah? And did you love it?? Yeah??? Hold on, we're going to guess how old you are....   This is one of Nic Cage's most well known movies. It's a Disney flick. It focuses on conspiracy theories, long lost treasure, and American Hist...

Last night I dreamed I was on a game show where the host had the face of Nic Cage, the buzzer was a jar of bees, and every question was just the word “why” whispered in reverse. I lost. My consolation prize was front-row tickets to  “Brother Ropes and the Two Neighbors”

On this week's Casting Cage episode, the guy's review 2003's Matchstick Men.  You've seen it, right? Ridley Scott flick, believe it or not. Yeah, Sam Rockwell is in it, too. It got 7.3/10 on IMDB and has a 83% score on Rotten Tomatoes...you sure you haven't seen it? No? Hmm. Well, neither had we, actually. Take that back, Bucky did see it a long time ago, but clearly forgot the plot, so...yeah.   ...

This week Fast Pitch gets weird with the title “The Light That Parents Tight.”   What starts as a baffling phrase turns into three wildly different movie pitches. Bucky delivers a twisted tale of overbearing parents who discover their kids reading a classic children’s book. Juicebox dives into a sci-fi/horror/love? story that explores how far new parents will go to fix a broken relationship. And O...

This week, the guys at Bucky's Basement review 2002's Adaptation for another Fast Pitch episode. Where to begin...it's a fictional film about real life screenwriter Charlie Kaufman, adapting real life novel, The Orchid Thief, for the big screen,  unsuccessfully... ? Yeah, we confused ourselves, too. Starring, Nic Cage in a dual role, Meryl Streep (she is hot), and the fabulous Chris Cooper (where...

This week on Bucky's Basement,  we have a Fast Pitch episode. The Sack giveth out the title "Many Imps."

On this week's episode of Casting Cage, the guys review John Woo's 2002 WWII epic, Windtalkers. Nic Cage plays a shell-shocked soldier tasked with guiding a Navajo code talker safely through the U.S. invasion of Saipan. Is one stab with a bayonet lethal? Is Peter Stormare's character secretly a foreign agent (that accent...)? And whatever the hell happened to Christian Slater?!!!! He's so cool!  ...

On this week's Fast Pitch episode, the guys draw the title 'The Stairway Caller.' Does a title like that lend itself more to Paranormal Horror or Rom/Com?

True story.    Always unique. Always fresh. In 15 minutes...

Bucky's Basement presents a unique episode of Casting Cage this week, where we review a film directed by Nicolas Cage: 2002's "Sonny" (Cage does cast himself an interesting minor role, one Acid Yellow, which we delve into).

And is Don Cheadle the secret villian in this film? (Kinda seems like he pulls a few dick...
