Two words: Nic Cage. Has there ever been two other words in the history of language that could contain the multitudes that these words represent? Maybe when the ancients were building the tower of Babel and the world's language was confused, there remained slivers of the pure language that contained the secrets to the universe. It's like Nic Cage knew this, changing his name from Nicolas Coppola to Nicolas Cage (after his favorite Marvel character Luke Cage). He knew he'd need to hold back that purity (put it in a Cage, if you will), because otherwise we would have built a tower to Heaven with the ridiculousness and awesomeness that is his filmography.

Maybe it can still get us there. Like to Baby-O in Con Air, Nic is here to show us that, yes, God does exist, and He loves Nic Cage.

That's good. Because we do too!

Here, the other lesser Nic and I each choose our top 5 Cage moments, ranging from the ridiculous and the over-the-top (two phrases you'll here a lot) to the...well mainly more of that. These knobs go to eleven, baby, like no other Filmshake has shaken!

Note to self: listen to Filmshake! Because this episode is one tall glass of love for all things Norm McDonald, especially 1998's Dirty Work. Fat jokes, pee jokes, prison rape jokes, and dead hooker jokes. What is this, the 90s? We even manage to throw some love (one of us more than the other) at 2000's very dumb Norm-starring comedy Screwed. All your 90s favorites are here - Chris Farley, Artie Lang, Adam Sandler, Dave Chappelle, and Bob Saget...wait what? If you like Pina Coladas...I mean, if you like any of these things, then you'll probably like this episode. If not, we just might have to hide fish in your house.

Oh, look. Another glorious Filmshake. Makes me sick!
A virgin lit the candle, and now two men approaching middle age are talking this early 90s film made for pre-teen girls. Do we love these three VERY theatrical, Better Midler-led witches, or do we want to burn them alive in the school furnace? Wait, did you think we were talking Clerks this week?
TRICK OR TREAT, IT'S 1993's HOCUS POCUS!
Jordan is also punished with 1989's Little Monsters. Does he think this Fred Savage-starring children's comedy is the goblin's knees, or does he want Howie Mandel to choke on Doritos?
Hey bud, the only way to find out is to listen!
