Con Air
11/22/21 • 48 min
Welcome back to Nicholas Cage November and this week we’re discussing the Michael Bay action 1997 film Con Air.
It’s the story of a former Army Ranger who accidentally killed a man while protecting his wife, who has become eligible for parole, and ends up on a plane full of the worst criminals in the world. Featuring a stellar cast of Nicholas Cage, John Cusack, John Malkovich, Steve Buscemi, Ving Rhames, Dave Chapelle, and Danny Trejo. It’s Michael Bay unleashed, so there’s plenty of explosions, slow motion hair, and Nick Cage’s deep fried southern accent that has to be experienced to be understood.
What are your thoughts on the film? Next week, we continue with our Nicholas Cage November with Pig. As always, you can reach us at [email protected].

National Treasure
We’re halfway through our Nicholas Cage November and it’s also the second Jon Turtletaub film we are reviewing (first was While You Were Sleeping) - we are discussing the film National Treasure.
This action/adventure/treasure hunt film came out in 2004 and has a star studded cast including Christopher Plummer, Harvey Keitel, Jon Voight, Diane Kruger, Sean Bean, and Justin Bartha. Even if you haven’t seen the film, you know the line “I’m gonna steal the Declaration of Independence.” It’s a whirlwind film full of hidden treasure, the Knights Templar, Free Masons, our Founding Fathers, and is probably one of, if not the most accessible Nicholas Cage film.

Next Episode
Pig
Hi friends! This week, we are finishing up Nicholas Cage November with the small, independent film Pig.
It’s one crazy premise - Nicholas Cage’s character Robin Feld lives alone in the woods of the Pacific Northwest with only his truffle hunting pig for companionship. They collect truffles and sell them to Amir who in turn sells them to high end restaurants in Portland. One day his beloved pig is stolen and he is dead set on finding out what happened to his friend. What could have turned into a John Wick or Nobody revenge film, instead is a thoughtful examination of loss, family, finding your place in the world, and knowing who you are.
What are your thoughts on the film? Next week, we’ll kick off the Christmas season with Staff Picks - our cinematic presents we received this year.
