If you're reading this, you've been conned. That's because we watched Matchstick Men (2003) and were conned into talking about it on this podcast. Okay, okay... it was the next movie on the list. We dissect this Ridley Scott crime/thriller in which Jolly St. Nic plays a con artist named Roy Waller whose teenage daughter conveniently pops back into his life right when he and his buddy are about to pull off the biggest con since Deadfall! (No face frying in this one.) Of course, we've also got Nic Cage news, The Nic List, a discussion of 90s heist movies, and our final ratings. Check it out! Our next Nic Cage film review will be the always meme-able National Treasure (2004). ---------------------------------------- Hey, have you noticed we're AD FREE?

Learn this fun fact and many more in our deep review of this Academy Award-winning meta-commentary (on screenwriting) starring our favorite actor, Nicolas Cage, plus Meryl Streep and other pretty good actors too.

Our Cagefighters return for a super sexy ménage à trois to discuss Nicolas Cage's Sonny (2002). Although Cage appears briefly, he's been handed the DIRECTOR'S CHAIR from which he's ordering James Franco an all-you-can-f*ck buffet! YUM! That's right: Nic Cage's one and only directed film is full of steamy sex, withering dreams, and mommy issues. So, kick back and listen to us talk about anime and sex (in that order), followed by a deep dive into Sonny and what we think the film says about Nic Cage as an artist.  07:00 - Anime We're Watching 16:22 - Reece's Sex Labyrinth Story 22:40 - Shawn's New Orleans Sex Story 27:42 - The Nic List  33:46 - Movie Discussion 1:07:40 - Our Ratings Our next Nic Cage film review will be Adaptation (2002). ---------------------------------------- Hey, have you noticed we're AD FREE?

We're talking Nic Cage in Windtalkers from 2002: a patriotic reunion with director John Woo that promises massive explosions, stabbings, friendly fire, psychological trauma, racism, and more confusion about who to kill on the WWII battlefield. We also find the historical accuracy to be a bit suspect. Join us Cagefighters as we dive deep into the story and production of Windtalkers, our reviews of the film, and of course some spicy, bee-tastic Nicolas Cage news!  Our next film review will be Sonny (2002): Nic Cage's directorial debut starring James Franco.

Nicolas Cage demonstrates how to win over a town after invading, pillaging and forcing yourself on to the doctor's sexy daughter. How, you ask? JUST PLAY THEM THE MANDOLIN! Don't miss our sizzling review of Captain Corelli's Mandolin (2001) about Italians, Greeks and Germans trying to find companionship in the downtime between the murder that's happening because it's WWII. Nic Cage stars as Captain Corelli opposite Penelope Cruz, whose character becomes incredibly confused after her husband, played by Christian Bale, suddenly returns from the war he'd joined to die and reincarnate as Batman -- only to find out he's been replaced by a steamy hunk with a mandolin! So romantic and sensual. Hey, why are people suddenly getting their limbs blown off? As always, we discuss Nicolas Cage news followed by a review of this cinematic wonder. Like what we're doing?

We FINALLY watched Uncle Francis Coppola's 2019 RECUT of The Cotton Club! The OG film was first discussed in Season 1 Episode 4 of Late Night Cage Fight. However, Cagefighter Steve famously refused to watch it. That all changed tonight, friends. How does the new cut compare? More tap-dancing, mobster shoot-outs... MORE JAZZ? Take a journey with us back to 1930-something as we discuss our thoughts on this restored musical crime drama starring Richard Gere, Diane Lane, and NICOLAS CAGE! That's right... he's in it too!   Our next Nic Cage review will be Captain Corelli's Mandolin (2001).

It's our 50th episode, and we're celebrating with a retrospective of Nicolas Cage's first film (credited as Cage) "Valley Girl"! We watched the 2003 mini-documentary "20 Totally Tubular Years Later," featuring interviews with Cage, his co-stars, and the creators of the 1980s classic. If that's not enough Cage, we also wax poetic on Nic Cage's continued influence on our lives and podcast. If you've been with us for awhile, we invite you to listen to this candid -- and slightly unhinged -- 50TH EPISODE!! Viva El Cage!!

A guest Cagefighter joins the fray to discuss Nic Cage's recent horror offerings in 2024!

You wouldn't steal a car. You wouldn't steal the Declaration of Independence. You definitely wouldn't illegally download Gone in 60 Seconds from the high seas and review it for science and/or comedy. Yes, you guessed correctly. We the Cagefighters review Nicolas Cage's first film of the 21st century -- his car heist smash hit that feels forever stuck in the 90s. Did we like it? Did we love it? Listen and find out. But make it quick, I can hear the fuzz coming.

Nicolas Cage teams up with Martin Scorsese to create one of the weirdest works of EMT fiction to ever hit the big screen. We're talking about 1999's "Bringing Out the Dead," which stars Cage as a burned-out paramedic in Manhattan who is haunted by the patients he failed to save. On the plus side, he does get to drink and do drugs on the job, so we're really not sure what he's complaining about. If only SOMEONE would FIRE HIM, DAMMIT! Just like our next episode, that apparently must wait until next week. Next up will be our review of "Gone in 60 Seconds." Find us at niccagefight.com

Cagefighter Steve and Reece share a birthday only five days apart of the same year of our lord Nicolas Cage: 1988. To celebrate, Cagefighter Steve selected horror/mystery Happy Death Day (2017) for this Cageless movie review episode. Cagefighter Reece soon realizes Cagefighter Steve actually wants him dead.  

Have you ever wanted to buy the most deplorable pornography you can imagine from a man beneath the subway? Have you ever wondered how much it would cost to crowdfund a REAL snuff film? (1st world problems, I know.) If you answered YES to either question, then this may be the review for YOU! So switch your cybertruck to autopilot, crank that Vision Pro volume to EARBLEED, and relax with us while we talk Nicolas Cage's role in the 1999 thriller 8MM.  We Cagefighters were admittedly delighted and disturbed by this tragic tale of porno deep dives, one-percenter torture fantasies, and revenge murder. Hear our thoughts and concerns, and please someone get us in touch with a good therapist for the love of god.

We've finally made it to the millennium! Hear our rambling takes on Nic Cage's "The Family Man" (2000).  Ever wonder what it's like to wake up from your life as a filthy rich Wall Street banker to a life of poverty, shame and... CHILDREN? Nicolas Cage stars in this Christmas-themed episode of "Outer Limits" that's stretched out to two hours and filled with super sappy love scenes and Don Cheadle as some kind of timelord.  We also discuss Nic Cage's recent announcement that he plans to step away from acting to focus on being a REAL family man. And we also drop some hints about our next episode, which is sure to be something special. Thanks for listening to Late Night Cage Fight!

Happy Cage-Giving, friends. 'Tis the season for a Cage-y trip down the horrid holiday lane. The first movie of our holiday bunch we subjected our sanity to was St. Nic's 1994 "Trapped in Paradise" -- a Christmas movie so hard to watch it's like being trapped with John Travolta in Hell. Hear us riff on the movie that also stars John Lovitz and Dana Carvey and ask questions about the meaning of life. Why, Nic Cage, why? Was this a "Mandy" prequel? Krampus origin story? The world will never know. But it doesn't matter, because Earth is just one small planet in the vast, infinite Cageverse. 

With our first contender for the season's crown, "Snake Eyes" rolls in our laps like a pair of Cage testicle props from "Prisoners of the Ghostland". Join the Cagefighters for a spirited review of this classic boxing/gambling/Mission Impossible-esque thriller starring our hero of space and time. But not before we force Cagefighter Steve to experience the new trailer for A24's upcoming movie starring Nic Cage called, "Dream Scenario," which will release this month! Tune in for our thoughts on "Snake Eyes" and follow us on social media or visit our website at NicCageFight.com. Are you a Cage fan with an opinion? Email your thoughts to latenightcagefight@gmail.com and maybe we'll give you a shout-out. Cage Out!

We sell our souls to The Devil this Halloween for a flaming skull and one *totally trippendicular* motorcyle! We're talking about GHOST RIDER, baby, which so happens to be Nicolas Cage's initiation into the Marvel cinematic universe. We share our thoughts on the movie and on Cage's performance, and why we think Cage should be in EVERY super(anti)hero movie EVER. So SMASH that play button and prepare to get Penance Stared for 47 minutes.

The Cagefighters took a year off to recover from seeing The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent. Now we're back for another season of Cage movies, beginning with this back-the-blue post-Katrina favorite, Bad Lieutenant. In this film, Nic Cage plays a bad lieutenant and we talk about it. The Cageverse never dies, baby.
