What Is A Movie?

S3E1: Halloween (2018)

Bonjour! Grab a baguette or a fresh slice, we&apos;re taking a look at The French Connection in a back-to-back Hack(man) attack. We also connect the dots between this, The Exorcist, Blade Runner, and (of course) the Ferris Bueller TV Show. 

S2E25: The French Connection

Come along as we hop into The Birdcage. We&apos;ve got beautiful images, fantastic performances, terrible politicians, and deeply unsatisfying narrative payoffs. And, as always, Jeb!How &apos;bout those dolphins, huh?

S2E24: The Birdcage

Finally, a film that asks the question on the tip of our tongues: "how rad would a skateboarding vampire be?" and answers with an emphatic "Very. Obviously."Tune in as we chat about vampires, love stories, and Elijah Wood while ogling at the beauty of black and white cinematography.

S2E23: A Girl Walks Home Alone At Night

It&apos;s time for Predator; big arms, big guns, big sweaty men... it&apos;s all here. Join us as we redesign Splash Mountain, compare alien-fighting squads, and reminisce about Kevin McAllister. Also, Dan declares "you cannot fathom how jacked I am."

S2E22: Predator

Today we&apos;re diving into Whiplash, aka Two Dudes Bein&apos; Terrible, aka Dumb Jerks the Worst: The Movie. D&apos;ya like jazz?CW: discussions of self harm, suicide, physical and emotional abuse, and slurs.

S2E21: Whiplash

Happy birthday America, it&apos;s time to slam some raw eggs, punch meat, and triumphantly climb some big, big stairs. Join us as we celebrate by watching Rocky, the story of a big himbo who likes turtles and do a damn decent punch.

S2E20: Rocky

S2E17: Wet Hot American Summer

&apos;The dust and the screamingThe yuppies networking&apos;Today we venture into the world of Patrick Bateman - business cards, pop music, thousands of crunches, and oh so much blood. It&apos;s American Psycho time!

We&apos;re *kicking* it into high gear today with Enter The Dragon. This was a new one for both of us, tune in and see how it went!

S2E15: Enter The Dragon

We&apos;re looking at a real gem of cinema here as we ride a true roller coaster of emotions thanks to the ill-fated, Hanna-Barbera produced, KISS vehicle: Kiss Meets the Phantom of the Park.&apos;... and how about the time we were the hard-rocking quartet of Gene Simmons, Paul Stanley, Ace Frehley, and the bat?&apos; #CriterionCollectionWhen

S2E14: Kiss Meets the Phantom of the Park

Hi all,In light of allegations of abuse recently made public about Richard Stanley, director of Color Out Of Space, we don’t feel it’s appropriate to put any more of a spotlight on that film and are wrapping up this season of Cage Match as is. We unequivocally believe and support Scarlett Amaris and survivors of domestic abuse everywhere. We urge you to look into the groups and organizations fighting domestic abuse if your community and support them in any way you can.In place of our usual programming, here are a few friends we recommend you check out: Huge thanks to our amazing friends Gerry and Jon for making Cage Match possible. Find Gerry on twitter @d_apollo and catch Jon as co-host of the podcast Damn That Television. For more movie talk, check out For Her Consideration - each episode sees our friends Tim and Cassidy watching through past years’ best picture noms and judging the Academy’s decision. Story Chat Radio is by our friends Carly and Jeni, professional editors, who look at a different film each episode to see how you can use its strengths to improve your own writing. It&apos;s great stuff even if you’re not a writer!We’ll be back with our regular programming on April First.
