Mandy v. Teen Titans Go! To the Movies

11/04/20 • 71 min

On a very spooOOOooOOooky episode of CAGE/OFF recorded on Halloween, we are hanging out in a scary basement with a sleepy dog and talking about two EXTREMELY SIMILAR films: the trippy, gore-soaked horror-revenge movie Mandy (2018) and Teen Titans Go! To the Movies (2018), a silly animated comedy movie made for babies. We discuss how Mandy sparked renewed interest in Nicolas Cage from the mainstream, how Teen Titans finally allowed Cage to play Superman, and Logan attempts to get to the bottom of Ashley's visceral hatred towards Teen Titans Go! (the show). Follow us on Twitter @cageoffpodcast Our artwork is by Colours Odyssey (@coloursody on Twitter) Our intro/outro music is by Mastad0n Rate and review us on Apple Podcasts!

Previous Episode

Con Air v. A Score to Settle

CONTENT WARNING: There is some mention of sexual assault in this episode due to a minor character in Con Air. On this episode of CAGE/OFF we crack open some Francis Coppola chardonnay and talk about two movies where Nicolas Cage plays an ex-con: the over-the-top action blockbuster Con Air (1997) and the recent VOD revenge movie A Score to Settle (2019). Can the little-seen modern Cage film prevail against one of the most memed Cage performances of all time? You probably already know the answer to that, but it’s fun to pretend! Enjoy!

The Cotton Club v. Wild at Heart

On today’s episode of CAGE/OFF, we complete the trilogy of Nicolas Cage’s collaborations with his uncle Francis with The Cotton Club (1984), a part-musical, part-crime film about the Harlem jazz scene in the 20s and 30s. Then, we go POWEEEEEER MAAAAAD talking about David Lynch’s violent and darkly comic road film Wild at Heart (1990) before deciding which film will be moving on in the bracket! We also discuss which Nic Cage/Francis Coppola film is our favorite, sing the praises of the absolute legend Crispin Glover, and generally gush about Wild at Heart. Thanks for listening!
