Each week Meg and Chris review one of Nicolas Cage’s films with a special guest. Each film is analyzed and ranked on a series of metrics all in an effort to Unlock the Cage.
Shirley MacLaine plays a difficult former first lady, and Nic Cage is the frustrated Secret Service agent assigned to attend to her every whim. It’s a cute 90’s comedy that ends with… a 71 year old woman being kidnapped and buried alive? Liz Jukovsky joins us live in studio (a first for us!) and we all make a lot of intense eye contact while recording.

The Weather Man with Keola Racela
In this 2005 comedy cringefest, Nic Cage plays a sad sack weather man, who navigates both fast food projectiles and his strained relationships. This movie features Michael Caine playing an American, lots of archery, and far more discussion about camel toe than you’d probably like! Director Keola Racela (who liked this movie far more than we did) joins us this week.

Pig with Will Gianetta
It’s John Wick meets Babe meets Mandy meets Chef’s Table. 2021’s low budget drama Pig got a lot of hype (and is currently Cage’s best reviewed movie on Rotten Tomatoes EVER), but does it live up to it? We’ve got improviser Will Gianetta back to help us answer deep questions like, “What is a salted baguette?”, “How is this movie influenced by the myth of Orpheus and Eurydice?” and “Are there REALLY underground kitchen fight clubs?”. Plus, we watch the trailer for Prisoners of the Ghostland.
