CAGEMATCH, Episode 15: The Man Downstairs w/ Special Guest “Clown Baby”
We unexpectedly took the Summer off, so in case you need a reminder – this is the podcast where we ask the important questions…
Is Nicolas Cage a legitimate acting genius?
An utter piece of silver screen trash?
Or somewhere in between?
On this episode, we celebrate spooky season with our Halloween episode on the latest creeptastic Cage gem, Longlegs. Justin’s spooky wife Brooke – aka Rockstar Roller Derby’s “People’s Captain” Clown Baby – joins the fray as we seemingly gush over one of the year’s best films. The spookiest thing… even Merder likes it. Listen in to find out just how much she likes it and if she’s even able to admit that Nic is “good” in the role!
SPECIAL THANKS to The O’Mulligans (https://www.facebook.com/theomulligans) (now known as Chonker) for allowing us to use their fantastic track “Cage Rage” as our official theme song! Listen to Chonker on Bandcamp and support the band!
