Cam is happy we did a good movie for once. Marielle has Cage News! Nicky's just here for a good time.  It's the 2018 animated Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, critically acclaimed and gorgeously directed. But is it a Cage movie? As Spider-Man Noir, he plays a supporting role. Worth it? Listen to find out. DISCLAIMER: The audio quality is not as good as usual. We have tried our best to clean it up, but there are significant echoes in parts and sadly the mics picked up Marielle's children in the background. Hopefully you get as much out of this as we did - not that much.

Episode 48 - Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse

Oh my, we're finally back! Yes, from the dead and wishing we were! And we wish we could predict the future to stop us having to watch this movie!  It's 2009's Knowing, in which Melbourne stands in for Boston, due to the extremely similar skylines and number plates. And it's the return of our old friend Men Bendellson.  We are now hoping to return to our regular bi-weekly schedule. How long will it last? If only someone could predict it. 

Episode 47 - Knowing

What does David Lynch even do every day? What was Laura Dern thinking? Is that Willem Dafoe's real face? How many times can you swear in three lines of dialogue? Is the lead character's name Sailor? What's going on? Did Cam even watch the same movie the others did? These questions and more are answered in our brand new episode on Wild At Heart (1990). 

Episode 46 - Wild At Heart

We're back and guess who hated the second National Treasure even more that she hated the first one? Hint: it rhymes with 'Barielle.' Also we change up the introduction, and say a big welcome to our loyal fan. BANGERS AND MASH BUBBLE AND SQUEAK SMOKED EEL PIE HAGGIS!!!!!

Episode 45 - National Treasure: Book of Secrets

We're back for 2019! Except we recorded this last year so in fact with was made we weren't back. It's like having a time machine! Speaking of time machines, Marielle wishes she had a time machine so she could warn herself before watching this movie. It's the one you've both been waiting for, it's Cage vs Conspiracies, it's National Treasure! 

Episode 44 - National Treasure

We're back, and instead of a regular episode, here's a special. Nicolas Cage did a GQ video breaking down his iconic roles. We watched it, talked about it, and broke down the break down. You can watch the video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j_WDLsLnOSM  Theme music by Skin Mechanix, available at Magnatune.

Special episode - GQ Video Breakdown Breakdown

We're in the South again. Why are we always in the South? Nic Cage tries to out-accent everyone else and fails, Tye Sheridan is the only one who can act apart from the homeless guy, there's a homeless guy, and we have trouble figuring out what's happening without subtitles. Hit up our Patreon, give us a few bucks, and help us make more shows more often. Y'know, if you want. UnCaged is entirely un-affiliated with Squarespace and Stamps.com, they are bad and do not use them please. 

Episode 43 - Joe

Christmas has come early! Marielle, Cam and Nicky discuss the Christmas movie Trapped in Paradise, in which Cage plays Cage, Lovitz plays Lovitz, Carvey plays Carvey, Madchen Amick does nothing of consequence and the whole thing is just...sigh. Just...sigh.  Music from Skin Mechanix, available at Magnatune. 

Episode 42 - Trapped in Paradise

It's a movie where Nicolas Cage...rows a boat. Gently down a stream. That's pretty much it. Marielle now owns this movie, Cam felt owned BY this movie, and Nicky can't stop saying 'EH' in a poor Canadian accent. But seriously what even is this movie? Like, for real, I can't even describe it. Music from Skin Mechanix, available at Magnatune.com  

Episode 41 - The Boy in Blue

Astro Boy. He's brave. He's gentle. He's wise. But the 2009 CGI adaptation is none of these things. Bill Nighy? Kristen Bell? Sam Jackson?? Eugene Levy??? Charlize Theron??? Donald Sutherland????Why are any of them here? Why were we? Who can say?  Chuck us a few bucks on our Patreon if you're so inclined. Music by Skin Mechanix, available at Magnatune. 

Episode 40 - Astro Boy

We're back! We took three months off and chose to return with a terrible decision, 2002's whitewashed war movie Windtalkers. It should be the story of two dispossessed people forced to fight for their oppressors, but no, it's about a dumb white guy and his mates. Marielle loves Adam Beach, Cam didn't watch the whole movie and Nicky is just generally resentful. Music from Skin Mechanix, available at Magnatune.  

Episode 39 - Windtalkers

Ho x3! It's a special Holiday Edition of UnCaged and we are joined by writer Erin Riley for this Cagey Christmas movie, 2000's The Family Man. On one level we discuss issues of class and social changes, but on another we crush hard on Téa Leoni and on yet another, we discuss if this film could be made in a post-9/11 world. It's all the holiday fun as we ponder the fate of Family Cage and the children, and Erin reveals why she wanted to do this movie since we started two years ago. Have a very happy festive period, and you can hear more from us next year!   

Episode 38 - The Family Man

Mamma Mia! Here we go again! It's another movie where Cage's accent is all over the place, into stereotype territory, particularly odd since he is an Italian-American playing an Italian! It's Captain Corelli's Mandolin, based on a very depressing book. Is it a depressing movie? Well, it has a cast of notable Greek stars like John Hurt, Christian Bale and Penelope Cruz. For more, you'll just have to listen. Check out our Patreon at www.patreon.com/uncagedpod

Episode 37 - Captain Corelli's Mandolin

Cage is back from Hell to kick ass and drive...angry. Plus he has a gun for some reason, and he's pursued by a cut-price Christopher Walken. Double plus, Amber Heard beats men up and kicks them in the balls. Big minus: THAT sex scene. Please stop trying to make Sexy Nic Cage happen. It's not gonna happen. We apologise for the delay, and we really hope to get back on schedule soon. In the mean time, you can donate to our Patreon to help that happen. https://www.patreon.com/uncagedpodcast 

Episode 36 - Drive Angry

An Oliver Stone film about conspiracies and how bad the government is? Surely not! Nicky, Cam and Marielle sat down to watch Snowden, a biopic with an ending you can guess about things you already know. And Nicolas Cage? Barely even there, so why did we bother? Marielle is bothered by Joseph Gordon-Leavitt's voice, Nicky is bothered by Nicolas Cage's sideburns, and Cam is just generally bothered. Music by Skin Mechanix, available from Magnatune.

Episode 35 - Snowden

UnCaged is a show where Cam (Amateur Hour podcast), Marielle Fish (SomethingFyshy.com) and author Nicky Rowlands discuss every movie starring or featuring Nicolas Cage, from his Oscar-winning turn in Leaving Las Vegas to his Rassie-nominated turns in...everything. Cage's unique acting style and meme-worthy facial expressions are unpacked in a semi-regular enthusiastic discussion of one of the world's most distinctive and versatile performers.
