We're bringing some controversial opinions to the table this week, as we tackle Charlie Kaufman and Spike Jonze's Adaptation! Nic Cage is as good as ever, but we just can't escape the feeling that we'd rather be following Donny than Charlie. Please don't get mad at us.

What if John Travolta made you hack the US government while a goon hold a gun to your head and you got a blowjob? Then you'd probably be Hugh Jackman in Swordfish, Dominic Sena's *other* masterpiece!

Cagolta Club: Swordfish (2001)

It's all about family this week, as we boost some cars, deal with the realities of naming a character Freb, marvel at bizarre set design, contrived heroin subplots and whatever that thing is on Angelina Jolie's head - it's Gone in Sixty Seconds, and it whips.

Cagolta Club: Gone in Sixty Seconds (2000)

We've got the inscrutable Travolta passion project that is L. Ron Hubbard's Battlefield Earth this week, and hoo boy, this one's a doozy. Bizarre camerawork, Korn meets Tom of Finland costuming, Forest Whitaker being debased by the movie, and for some reason Barry Pepper in a leading role. Folks, the vibes are rancid.

We've got yet another BDP classic this week, as we tackle 1998's Snake Eyes! Cage brings the fire as corrupt cop Ricky, and while De Palma hits us with all his usual flair, it's hard not to second guess some of the messages being thrown out by an otherwise fine movie.

Cagolta Club: Snake Eyes (1998)

It's finally here. After six months worth of build, Cage and Travolta finally clash in John Woo's magnum opus - Face/Off. Tremendous overacting on both men's parts, an absolutely wild horny pin-up bomb, bizarre parenting decisions and more!

Cagolta Club: Face/Off (1997)

We've brought in friend of the show John this week to discuss the incredible Con Air! Cage's amazing hair, an all-0star cast of various Jokers, terrible accents and off the shits action make Con Air one of the best movies we've ever done.

Cagolta Club: Con Air

Johns Woo and Travolta have come through in a big way this week, with the absolutely incredible Broken Arrow! Underground nukes, Travolta's audition for a villainous role in a Bond movie, and some all-time great deaths abound in a real treat of a movie.

Cagolta Club: Broken Arrow (1996)

We're fully on board with the Golden Age of Cage this week, as we take a look at maximalist action masterpiece, The Rock! Watch out for Ed Harris' green orbs of death, Sean Connery's incredible drone metal hair, Tony Todd's absolutely hilarious death, and the return of an old friend.

Cagolta Club: The Rock (1996

What if an angel was horny? Travolta's here to answer the question with the absolutely bizarre Michael! Is this one of his best performances? What's up with those wings? Is Michael into GILFs? This is one of the wildest movies we've done yet!

Cagolta Club: Michael (1996)

What if you nut so hard that you fucking died? That's pretty much all we want to talk about this week, as we "review" Leaving Las Vegas. It's a disaster episode for a disaster movie!

Cagolta Club: Leaving Las Vegas (1995)

We're joined this week by good friend of the show Alex Keswick (@cellobuster) to discuss the actually pretty damn good Get Shorty! James Gandolfini is bringing the fire, Danny DeVito is the best around, and Travolta actually kinda feels like a movie star! You can find Alex's music at https://drn-007.bandcamp.com/

Cagolta Club: Get Shorty (1995)

After nearly six months of freedom, Borat is back with the absolutely excruciating Borat Supplemental Reportings. It's an hour-forty of the worst goofs and gags imaginable, so you know we had to suffer through it. Sacha Baron Cohen, please retire.

Borat Club: Supplemental Reportings

Ahead of next week's return to Borat Hell, we're making some predictions about what'll surely be an agonizing experience, as well as tackling the Nic Cage classic (?) Tapped in Paradise! Is this the most miserable comedy ever made? Is Dana Carvey the worst to ever do it? What was the point of putting Madchen Amick in this turd?

Cagolta Club: Trapped in Paradise (1994)

We've hit Cagolta Club's first major milestone this week, with what is probably Travolta's most iconic role and best performance. Quentin Tarantino may be a real creep, but Pulp Fiction still (mostly) shine thanks to great performances - including from our boy - and a great sense of style.

Cagolta Club: Pulp Fiction

Wawaweewa! Welcome to Borat Club, the show where every week Niall and Ryan watch Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan until one or both of them gets sick of it and finds a replacement. New episodes every week. Forever.
