Episode 11: Wild At Heart/Joe

Published: June 20, 2020, noon

b'Welcome to our inaugural SUMMER OF CAGE, a three month theme inspired look back into the Cagetastic film career of the one and only Nicolas cage. For our 11th episode we have a quiet rage character trait themed double feature. First up is the 1990 Palm d\'Or winner for Best Picture, an acid laced Wizard of Oz inspired road trip by David Lynch entitled Wild At Heart. Nic plays Sailor, a snake skin jacket clad convict who runs away to LA with his nymphomaniac girlfriend Lula, as they try to escape not only his past but her bat shit crazy mother. Our second film is the gritty independent crime film Joe (2014), directed by David Gordon Green. Mr. Cage plays the unassuming, grizzled foreman of a Texas tree poisoning outfit, who hires and befriends a young pre-teen homeless boy who is desperately trying to keep his poor family afloat and safe from his alcoholic father. Along the way we also discuss the top 5 busiest actors working today, we rate the 5 best and 5 worst movies from our first 10 episodes (20 movies), we get into how fucking difficult it was to find Wild At Heart to watch it, we dive into how big a threat quicksand and exploding cars seemed to be as kids and divulge our theory that Joe Ransom from "Joe" is actually Red Miller post the events of "Mandy".\\n\\nClips from:\\nGone in 60 Seconds, Kesha, Face/Off, True Romance, Jackie Brown, Hard to Kill, I Tonya, Semi Pro, Once Upon A Time In Hollywood, Pulp Fiction, Mom And Dad, Mandy, Raising Arizona, Matchstick Men, Color Out of Space, Krizz Kaliko & Tech N9ne, Between Worlds, The Rock, KISS of Death, Wild At Heart, Escape From New York, Anchorman, The Muppet Show, The Wizard of Oz, Return to Oz, 10.5, GTA V, Joe, Halloween Reboot, Pineapple Express, Expendables 3, Killing Season, Eyes of Noctum, Queen, Jeremy Frisch, Rick & Morty, The Who, Deadfall & Lord of War.\\n\\n--- \\n\\nSend in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/NobodyPutsNicInACage/message'
