The Steel Cage Podcast Network

Captain Jack (@JackHeartless) and Lemi Atom (@lemiatom) have reached the vaunted 4th season of Saturday Night Live, and everything’s changing. Dan Aykroyd and John Belushi have just returned from filming Animal House and 1941, along with recording a Blues Brothers live album. Everyone on the cast is taking outside gigs, starting production companies, and on their own roads to super-stardom. But th...

Welcome to AT3 on The Steel Cage, where our Down Under contingent fights off the Drop Bears to discuss their Top 3 of a variety of wrestling topics. Just when you think you’ve got the answers, we change the questions, because… when your podcast celebrates its one-year anniversary, it’s time to pay the piper. Pay tribute to the piper, that is, as we celebrate one of the all-time greats and discuss...

How are you feeling when RAW comes on? Are you sports entertained!? When you watch Rhea Ripley paired with Nia Jax and Shayna Bazler slipping and sliding!? David Lagreca is our Avatar this week. The question of the week; however, where is Daniel Bryan going? Straight to the top against Kenny Omega! One of the things however WWE is finally getting right, factions! Keep it up WWE. Factions work. Win...

Are you ready for another Mortal Kombat movie? Neither were we, but we reviewed it anyway. So "Get Over Here!" and check it out! We'd like to say we all sat down and eloquently discussed the cultural impact that the groundbreaking Mortal Kombat had on early nineties video games, a legacy that holds true even today... but mostly we talked about Fatalities and how awesome Kano was. So if you like mu...

The Golden Age of the Golden Age begins here! Captain Jack (@JackHeartless) and Lemi (@lemiatom) are back and talking more SNL, specifically the wonders of Season 3. Roseanne Rosannadanna, the Festrunk Brothers, King Tut, The Blues Brothers and the Nerds all make their respective debuts this season! Bill Murray has a fistfight with a returning Chevy Chase backstage! Amazing musical guests are all...

Are you a Falcon, a Winter Soldier, a U.S. Agent or a Flag Smasher? Well, if you watched the latest Disney+ / Marvel Television show, The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, you might be a little of everything. We know we are. If you're ready for the new Captain America (and more Marvel Easter eggs than you can poke a vibranium shield at) then get ready to boogie like Zemo into this new episode of Unfu...

AKA MatMania Podcast 197 RAW is being tossed in the trash, just ask Mickie James! But we do our best together with the Mat Mania Podcast crew to roll up our sleeves and dig through the junk on WWE. To find the good stuff on NXT and Smackdown. NXT continues to be the diamond in the rough as the show continues to provide classic matches, memorable storylines, and Papa John (nee- Gargano!). Of course...

Welcome to AT3 on The Steel Cage, where our Down Under contingent fights off the Drop Bears to discuss their Top 3 of a variety of wrestling topics. Sometimes a wrestling faction can create new, main event stars. Sometimes, they unite unusual characters into unique, exciting alliances. And sometimes... they suck. As AT3 turns 18, we threw some shade at some of the worst stables and factions wrestl...

We pull out all the stops as we react to the climax of the cinematic MonsterVerse: Godzilla Vs Kong! In the mighty tradition of Alien Vs Predator, Freddy Vs Jason and of course... Batman V Superman, comes the tip-touching titans that will not stop, no matter how much splash-back is involved. If that last sentence doesn't make any sense to you, check out our latest slugfest of an episode, before th...

This week on the DATEScast, Derek is rich now and Tim refuses to be funny, so the end of the podcast is imminent. But before they wrap things up forever, they want to make sure to rate every cereal they can because, as everyone knows, cereal is a snack, Craig. Our snackologists are ready to do their job (well, Tim is, Derek is rich so he doesn't care) and PER this week's snack, Little Debbie Oatme...

We return to tales of Studio 8H this week, as Captain Jack (@JackHeartless) and returning guest Lemi Atom (@lemiatom) move on to discuss Season 2 of Saturday Night Live. Better hosts, better musical guests, a cast departure AND a cast member debut, a new show title, a disastrous night at Mardi Gras…this season had EVERYTHING. Buckle up and enjoy the ride, it only gets wilder from here! Sponsored b...

Wrestlemania 37 is here, and, in the words of the Macho Man GIF, "you may not like it...but accept it". WWE takes over the entire first week of April with all things WWE, but this time with crowds. And maybe some COVID, so please stay safe! If you are one of the absolute safe ones staying home, pull out your big ol' Peacock and enjoy "The Grandaddy of Them All"! NXT Stand & Deliver will do exactly...

Welcome Wrestlemania Week! We are in the thick of it Bay Bay! It is already on and poppin'! From indie shows, Hall of Fames, and all things WWE, there will be something for everyone. Speaking of, be sure to tune in and follow GCW Wrestling to catch Mega Ran out there as well. He will be hosting and promoting for GCW Wrestling. Check out www.megaran.com/shows for tickets! There is so much wrestling...

It is the calm before the storm in WWE. While a lot of matches have been announced for WrestleMania, we can’t seem to wrap our heads around the card. Don’t get us wrong.. We are excited for at least a couple of matches, but there’s something that just isn’t sitting right with us… brother. We’ll get into that, and a whole lot more. No matter what happens, there’s a lot happening in pro wrestling ov...

On this edition of Minutes with the Mayor, Derek is joined by comedian and podcaster Dan St. Germain from the Wrestle Roasts podcast. You may have seen Dan being funny in numerous places, including his own Comedy Central Half Hour Special, or his stand up appearances on Conan, The Tonight Show, Best Week Ever, Not Safe with Nikki Glaser, or a bunch of other places where you can see Dan tell jokes....

It's finally here. After four years and one really annoying hashtag, DC, Warner Bros. and HBO released the Snyder Cut, now forever known as Zack Snyder's Justice League. A (four hour) movie we thought we'd never see. But is it any good? For this 'Agne Cut' of a movie we've already reviewed, we formed a League of our own when Tim, Jared and Greig sat down with Aussie Top 3's Stacey, Mike from Mike...

Captain Jack returns to start a miniseries months in the making on CJAE this week! Lemi Atom (@lemiatom) returns as our Special Guest (along with a few more surprises) as we begin our journey through the first 5 seasons of Saturday Night Live, covering the exploits of the legendary original group of Not Ready For Prime Time Players, the musical guests, and the hosts. We cover the Good, the Bad, an...

NXT can be summed up in one word... WALTER! And thank goodness! There was a recent COVID outbreak at the NXT Performance Center, and we wish everyone a speedy recovery. But WALTER is the saving grace for the NXT show, and the coup de gras was Finn vs Karrion Kross announced for NXT Stand and Deliver. Mania week is developing very nicely. AEW just gave us a FREE PPV on TV. FOR FREE!!! From start to...

Wednesday night is Women’s Night! Thank you to Thunder Rosa and Dr. Britt Baker for the (deep breath, this is a mouthful) Unsanctioned Anything Goes Lights Out Match (phew) that headlined AEW’s St. Patrick’s Day Slam on AEW Dynamite. It was a match that will undoubtedly live on as a standout in wrestling history. The whole show, though, was packed from start to finish with excellent wrestling acti...

Welcome to AT3 on The Steel Cage, where our Down Under contingent fights off the Drop Bears to discuss their Top 3 of a variety of wrestling topics. Tag Teams come in many forms, and some obviously work better than others. Whether it's two main event level talents, a well-trained pair of brothers or just two guys who had nothing better to do; wrestling slaps them together and calls them a team. An...

Hello and welcome to Monday Night Hurt Business! And brother, business is a-booming! Congrats to Bob Lashley and really the entire Hurt Business, they are holding all the gold, but for how long? The Revolution was televised, and everyone will remember the end. It sucks that people are going to really hang on the ‘botch’ because this was the first time a lot of American wrestling fans experienced a...

What is UNT if not podcasting persevering? That’s right, we watched WandaVision (and so did you) so we put together an Avengers-level crossover to talk about it. What did the MCU do for their first ever television series? Did they play it safe? Give us a bunch of comic book splash page images, or bring in a bunch of big-name supervillains like Magneto, Doctor Doom or, wait for it… Mephisto? Despit...

This week on the DATESCAST, they're doing it. They're actually doing it. This week, thanks to a line uttered by WWE wrestler AJ Styles like some sort of open challenge, the guys are picking, eating, and rating the combination of Grits and M&Ms. Yes, I'm serious. Featuring: Derek Montilla (@cap_kaveman) & Tim Agne (@timagne) Music by: Polly Hall & Andrew Barkan & CFO$ (@CFOSOfficial) Inspired by: M...

This week on the DATESCAST, Tim and Derek prepare to be cancelled. They also discuss how hard it is to support brands that do terrible things. Like when Snickers makes a brownie. That's a spoiler. This week, our dynamic duo is picking, eating, and rating Snickers Peanut Brownie Squares. We know...the peanut is redundant.  Featuring: Derek Montilla (@cap_kaveman) & Tim Agne (@timagne) Music by: Pol...

Welcome to AT3 on The Steel Cage, where our Down Under contingent fights off the Drop Bears to discuss their Top 3 of a variety of wrestling topics. Nothing garners crowd support better than a good underdog, so for our Sweet 16, we welcome IPW Australia's greatest underdog, Bodhi Jackson to help discuss wrestlers, storylines and even promotions that succeeded when the universe said they shouldn't...
