Episodes

Face/Off vs Ghost Rider 02.11.2023

Jimmie Herrod lends his dulcet tones to discuss superhero oral, bad CGI and of course: Penis Swap Technology™. Believe us when we say that this is a very face free match up. John Woo's 1997 face toucher tangles with 2007's original boney boy. It's Face/Off vs Ghost Rider (the first one). Welcome back for season 2, baby! This is Cage Match.

Bonus Episode - Kick-Ass 26.10.2023

For the love of god, Kick-Ass, stop going down crime alley! We discuss Matthew Vaughn's 2010 black comedy, Kick-Ass with past and future guest, Eric. Is this a good movie or just some edgelord shit? Listen to Producer Peter cringe and die over the phrase "Big Daddy". This is (bonus) Cage Match.

Bonus Episode - G-Force 19.10.2023

Welcome to the bonus episode of Cage Match. We're joined by our friend, Shey (@ sheydar5000) to discuss one of the wilder Nic Cage accents to date. We review Hoyt Yeatman's (...yeah) 2009 3d action flick about spy guinea pigs and one Cage-y mole. Find out if this one has boom boom pow or is just a Marcy. This is (bonus) Cage Match.

Bonus Episode - The Retirement Plan 12.10.2023

The little buff boys review newest Cage movie: The Retirement Plan. A weird release plan with no real promotion screws over a fun little lark of a movie. Shaky cam action to cover for an aging badass. Ron Perlman and Jackie Earle Haley are amazing. This is Cage Match (kinda)

Season 1 Recap 05.10.2023

We did it! We made it all the way through the first round of the bracket. Are we definitely known now as "The Cage Guys"? Yes. Do we have a ton of Nic Cage swag now? Yes. Did we go mildly insane? Yes. Join us for a look back at season 1. This is Cage Match

Willy's Wonderland vs Snake Eyes 21.09.2023

Hoo boy, mechanical demonic mayhem up against Gary Sinise's weirdly short face. Can a mute janitor upset a coked out Cage in a sweet shirt and jacket? It's Brian de Palma's 1998 classic, Snake Eyes up against Kevin Lewis' 2021 horror comedy, Willy's Wonderland. Keep your ballistics clean and find out if in 32 episodes Sean finally can nail a segue... This is Cage Match

Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call - New Orleans vs 8MM 07.09.2023

Werner Herzog and Joel Schumacher in a match up for the ages. 2009's Bad Lieutenant colon Port of Call hyphen New Orleans goes toe to toe with 1999 creep show 8mm this week. On the one hand we have Iguana Vision™, but on the other we have Max California with sick, blue, Flock of Seagulls hair. So what wins in the match of snuff vs heroin? Who has the best dick gun? Why did they promote him to BAD...

Matchstick Men vs Guarding Tess 24.08.2023

Ridley Scott's Matchstick Men vs Hugh Wilson's Guarding Tess. We go deep on safe podcasting, Pangea, how to get kicked out of Communion classes and what the fuck Ridin' Dirty even means. We might not understand how to talk about movies anymore after thirty of these but we sure do try with these two romantic comedies, or are they adult documentaries? This is Cage Match.

Gone in 60 Seconds vs Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance 10.08.2023

Wild at Heart vs Knowing 27.07.2023

We welcome Darryl Edge of the Cage Rage podcast to discuss some wacky shit. David Lynch's Wild at Heart takes on Alex Proyas' Knowing. We get into some deep chats about the new rules for The Rapture and how to deal with Kevin fuckin' Sorbo. The guys teach Darryl about spider season in the Pacific Northwest and he chides us about our cowardice in the content of family films. We may or may not actua...

Lord of War vs Captain Corelli's Mandolin 13.07.2023

Ooh boy...Sorry, Italy. Some of the absolute worst accent work in 2001's Captain Corelli's Mandolin against 2005's Lord of War. Grab your uzi and your Pellegrino. This is Cage Match.

Moonstruck vs Honeymoon in Vegas 29.06.2023

It's a Honeymoonstruck in Vegas episode! Some of the best character names to ever be put to film and Elvis only weddings. 1987's Moonstruck with an Oscar winning performance from Cher goes up against 1992's Honeymoon in Vegas and James Caan's loaded poker match. Find out how to ward off the Devil and why Nick's Diet Coke tastes so bad. This is Cage Match.

Con Air vs Rage 15.06.2023

Pop on your Crime Jacket...it's crime time. Simon West's 1997 criminal action romp, Con Air enters a knife fight with Paco Cabezas' 2014 gun safety PSA, Rage (or Tokarev depending on where in the world you were). We tackle the hard hitting questions like: how many mall knives does Cage own? Is Buscemi's serial killer the secret hero of Con Air? How much work went into making a Dave Chappelle corps...

Mom & Dad vs Next 01.06.2023

The good news is that any time we fuck up we can just jump back two minutes and start fresh. The bad news is that this week we are reviewing 2017's Mom & Dad and 2007's Next. Loosely bottled rage about paternity and child murder against a charlatan with a stupid magic power and a stupider name. This is Cage Match.

Bringing Out The Dead vs Windtalkers 18.05.2023

Bust out your Big Dog Energy because this week we have 1999's Bringing Out The Dead about a burned out EMT and 2002's World War II epic, Windtalkers. Powerhouse casts in both movies but the real cherry on top is Ving Rhames with hair. Despite all the director and star power, these are two box office flops for Martin Scorsese and John Woo. But really, what kind of name is I.B. Bangin'? This is Cage...

Valley Girl vs The Weather Man 04.05.2023

This week we get a real time capsule movie in 1983's Valley Girl having a food fight with 2005's The Weather Man. Can Cage's first leading man role outdo a bow wielding and down trodden Cage? 80's vibrancy vs a sodden bleige. What's the Spritz Nipper this week?! Come for the haiku, stay for the Cage Match.

National Treasure vs Primal 20.04.2023

Nic Cage is the white jag of our hearts. This week treasure hunter/historian extraordinaire, Benjamin Franklin Gates goes toe to toe with a drunk and surly Frank Walsh. It's 2004's National Treasure vs 2019's Primal. Bad CGI animals and OG 3d glasses. This is Cage Match. White jag!

Bonus Episode - Renfield 18.04.2023

Holy shit what a ride that was. Weirdest theater in Seattle aside, we got the pleasure of watching Nic Cage's newest flick, Renfield. Bug eating, arm ripping, scene chewing mayhem. Do yourselves a favor and go see this movie in theaters before it goes away. This is (bonus) Cage Match.

Mandy vs Prisoners of the Ghostland 06.04.2023

Lumberjacks, cultists, samurai and cowboys. This week's Cage Match runs the gamut of weirdo art films as 2018's Mandy goes up against 2021's Prisoners of the Ghostland (Thanks XYZ Films!). See Nic Cage as a "lovable" lumberjack on a mission and a bomb-suit wearing hero in a post apocalyptic world! We're joined by special guests Alex and Sami from Star Trek: The Original Siblings. Come for the van...

Joe vs Zandalee 23.03.2023

Do you suffer from erectile dysfunction? This week we pumped the zydeco, made a Cool Face™, went through a windshield at 4 o'clock in the morning and we don't give a fuck! 2013's aggressive but good-hearted Joe dukes it out with 1991's horny New Orleans affair flick: Zandalee. Did Sean crack segues yet? No, but he does know how to go hard in the paint in this Cage Match.

The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent vs The Trust 09.03.2023

So when Nic Cage gets to Mallorca...We've got golden guns, we've got hot sauced lemons, we've got Pedro Pascal's enormous head, we've got coked out Nic Cage alter egos. Our head to head this week is 2022's The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent up against 2016's scrappy heist flick, The Trust. What will win? Meta-ness or mustache? This is Cage Match.

The Rock vs Bangkok Dangerous 23.02.2023

What in the name of Zeus' BUTT hole are we doing? 1996 powerhouse Michael Bay flick, The Rock, takes on a real doozy of a remake in 2008's Bangkok Dangerous. Is John Mason really James Bond? Do dick triplets exist? Has Hulkamania ever really left us? Can we please just watch Zardoz? This is Cage Match.

Bonus Episode - The Old Way 16.02.2023

Park it in the horse garage, get a slice of shit-apple pie and hunker down for a deep chat about nasal labial folds. Nick and Sean unpack the new western, The Old Way and learn what it means to cry. This is Bonus Cage Match.

Vampire's Kiss vs Between Worlds 09.02.2023

This week's Cage Match pits Nic Cage as a vampire(?) literary agent against a beer swilling, truck driving fuck-master in Vampire's Kiss and Between Worlds. We've hot a highly quotable, highly meme-able episode full of meltdowns and horny, meta-poetry. Hopefully PETA doesn't get involved. This is Cage Match.
