We are caught up so...   Whether you have been listening since we had only one crackly mic, since Peggy Sue Got Married (which is our most popular episode for some strange reason), or since the Stoned Cage, Golden Cage, or the Renaissance Cage - we want to give a BIG BIG BIG thank you to all of you listeners for making this journey MUCH more entertaining than we had ever imagined.    Episode 102 (Pig, 2021) is genuinely one of my favorite to listen back to, so if you know our cat's name, if you know which Nic Cage movies absolutely broke us, or if you know how Hanna's neighbor sneezes - this episode is for you!   Don't worry, though! We will be back to discuss and recap every Nic Cage movie as long as there will be Nic Cage movies. And at some point, we will release "Through Nic and Thin: Season 2 - TNT with Friends!"    Always remember...we're here for you...

I Know Why the Nick Caged Bird Sings

Episode 102 - Pig

We're back after a brief break to bring you our analysis on Willy's Wonderland (2021) - a movie which dares to ask the question: What would you do if you had a Chuck E. Cheese to yourself for a night?...sorta...it's a touch more complicated than that, but we had some fun with it. Nicolas Cage turns in this gem of a performance just in time for spooky season!!!

Episode 101 - Willy‘s Wonderland

After a brief reprieve, we are back, baby, with our 100th actual episode!!! Get HYPED!!! This week, we waited a bit so that we could watch Prisoners of the Ghostland (2021) on opening night. Was it worth it? Listen and find out!!!   I know we say this a lot, but thank you all so much for your continued support for 100 freakin' episodes!! 

Episode 100 - Prisoners of the Ghostland

YOOO! It's a bonus episode y'all!!!! We usually only do Nicolas Cage f*ckin' movies whether they're good or sh*tty, but this time, b*tches, we checked out our p*ssy-magnet friend in his first full-length television show, History of Swear Words (2021). Don't be a d*ck and give this d*mn podcast a listen!

Bonus Episode - History of Swear Words

"In this movie, there is a story of a man and his stick. A stick which has traveled through space and time and means a lot to the man. The man, is Nicolas Cage Part 2, A New Age." - My friend who has not seen this movie. But we did!!! Check out this episode (our 99th movie guys, Nic really doesn't stop does he??!) on The Croods: A New Age (2021) to learn about this man who doesn't have a stick, but does have a fun Stone Age time. This movie was fine, we think it's got a better storyline than the first The Croods movie.... but Nic Cage playing a cave man is always a delightful sight.  

Episode 99 - The Croods: A New Age

So every six years, an alien arrives to earth on a glowing comet and enters a temple through a giant portal. This alien brought jiu jitsu to the humans like Prometheus brought fire to the humans. The alien demands that he fight 9 of the globe's best fighters, but, like Prometheus, the gods (in this case Nicolas Cage) became angry and decided to fight this alien differently?...I don't know...something, something, memory loss, something, something...this movie is bad, but SO MUCH FUN. Grab your corn for popping and pop Jiu Jitsu (2020) onto your tv for a great time!

Episode 98 - Jiu Jitsu

Whoa! Wait a second...is this our 100th episode??? Yes that includes bonus episodes, but still - I'll take that as a win!! Thank you again to all of our loyal fans.    This week we watch perhaps the best movie that is ranked as a 0 on Rotten Tomatoes. Grand Isle (2019) stars Nicolas cage, Kelsey Grammer, some dude, and some lady. Enjoy our ranting...for the 100th time!

Episode 97 - Grand Isle

So Monster's Ball (2001) is a movie about romance and not about boxing, but Halle Berry won the Academy Award for best actress as the first Black woman to do so.    Monster (2003) is a movie about a serial killer/prostitute played by Charlize Theron who was the first African woman to win the Academy Award for best actress (she's South African). She does look "rough" in this movie but I don't believe her character is a drug addict. This movie is also not about boxing.   Million Dollar Baby (2004) is, in fact about boxing, and once again, Hilary Swank won the Academy Award for best actress. She was not really the first of anything in this regard.    Primal (2019) is a movie that is also not about boxing. It stars Nicolas Cage and Famke Janssen. Neither of whom deserve an Academy Award for this movie. Why do I elaborate here? Listen and find out!

Episode 96 - Primal

Hey, man! Welcome back to Through Nic and Thin, where we watch every - crap someone's at the door - Nicolas Cage movie in - ugh someone's calling me - in chronological order - I'm hungry - so that you don't have to. This week, we got INCREDIBLY distracted as we discussed the fun 2019 film, Kill Chain. It's a kill chain...you'll get it...

Episode 95 - Kill Chain

Short episode this week! Big announcement in the beginning and then we blaze through some behind-the-scenes info and the plot of Running With the Devil (2019). While Nicolas Cage is an angel, he plays the devil in this movie...but not really...he's not even "The Boss"...sigh...

Episode 94 - Running With the Devil

Based on a short story by a great writer (not so great human) and directed by an average director (also, allegedly, not a great human), Color Out of Space (2019) stars great actor (and a great weird human) Nicolas Cage as the main character. That was a lot of parentheses...too much? Perhaps! Perhaps, listen to this week's episode as we break down this cuh-RAZY movie about "a family getting closer together." If you know, you know...

Episode 93 - Color Out of Space

In this weeks movie, A Score to Settle (2019), Nicolas Cage plays a man on a mission: to settle a score. A singular score...against several people...that does not actually come to fruition...or is it multiple scores? Who cares? The real question is: do you think "beef" is an accurate description of what I've got with your father? Enjoy and have a great holiday weekend celebrating 'Murica (regardless of your 'muricanness)!

Episode 92 - A Score to Settle

Hello and welcome to our quaint little podcast here! This week, you've stepped into an alternate universe where up is down, down is up, and Hanna and Steve switch roles!!! That's right, Steve provides background info on all things Spider-Man Noir and Nicolas Cage's portrayal in this 2018 Academy Award-winning instant classic. Meanwhile, Hanna recaps the movie for you...but seriously - go watch this incredible flick if you haven't!

Episode 91 - Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse

Hi, friends! Give us a listen this week as we discuss the...um...interesting film Between Worlds (2018). Nicolas Cage's most lewd performance yet! This time, we ask the real hard-hitting questions that any good investigative journalist would, like: "What does Steve want for dinner?" "Do you pronounce the 's' in au jus?" and "What is 476 + 24?" Trust me, it'll all make sense when you listen.    Stay tuned to the very end for a post-credit scene where Steve poorly explains how carbonation works...this is a weird episode, we know...

Episode 90 - Between Worlds

We are back after our first weekend off in a long time! Join us this week as we struggled to watch Teen Titans GO! To the Movies (2018) without a toddler nearby - who is definitely the audience demographic for this film. We had some fun with some of the jokes, but ultimately the best part of this movie was to finally see Nicolas Cage play Superman...after all these years...

Episode 89 - Teen Titans GO! To the Movies

Nicolas Cage Extravaganza - a review of his performance in 100+ films
