There you are, and here we are, and what do you know it is a new episode of the ole CINEPUNX! So glad you could join us for another foray into the wild world of cinema. On this wonderful episode we welcome Josh’s long time friend and my new friend, Matty King, to discuss the storied and diverse career of one NICOLAS CAGE, an actor whose work elicits a variety of opinions and takes.

You won’t be surprised to learn that we and Matty do not have the most common perspective on this often maligned as much as respected thespian. While I acknowledge that Cage has done his fair share of movies that are bad, he is also an incredible performer whose work often elevates an otherwise mediocre film to worth watching. Matty has been on a journey with his partner to watch all of Cage’s films, and is some 80 films deep at this point give or take, and has developed some strong theories around the shape and nature of the man’s career. Besides diving deep on the myth himself we also do our usual wack and on track gimmicks and if you need more info or links feel free to hit us up on socials. Matty was a real joy as a guest, thanks to him for sharing his sharp Cage insights and I hope we can have him again soon.

Thanks for listening! Please spend some time checking out our Patreon and of course, check out the family of shows available at Cinepunx.com.
