Published: April 9, 2020, 4 p.m.

b"Welcome to the double stuffed, full Cage Rage, shit show that is our 5th episode. This week we take a deep dive into 2 of Mr. Cage's worse rated films of his storied career according to Rotten Tomatoes. It's our first official double feature episode as we tackle the Eddie King Saga. First up is Deadfall (1993) a neo-noir film about a man who escapes to LA to find his long lost uncle after his father is killed in a con job gone wrong. Nicolas Cage plays hustler Eddie King in his most gonzo and over the top performance of his career. Once again proving that not only does he steal scenes, he fucking owns them. It's easily his most entertaining and enjoyable roles of his career. Our second film finds Nic reprising his role as Eddie King (who must have been resurrected from the dead) in the direct to DVD crime thriller Arsenal (2017). It's a film about two brothers who have the misfortune of crossing paths with Eddie and the lengths they'll go to protect one another. Mr. Cage is not nearly as eccentric as Eddie this time around, however he is still the best part of this movie. Along the way we'll also discuss the 6 best and worse rated movies of Nic's career, what's the proper way to sample cocaine, if Deadfall is in fact the worse movie ever made, what was the real con of both movies and how the fuck is Eddie King still alive?\\nClips from:\\nGone in 60 Seconds, Color Out of Space, Crazy Ex Girlfriend, Deadfall, Mandy, Adaptation, Face Off, Moonstruck, Red Rock West, Spiderman into the Spiderverse, Outcast, 211, Arsenal, Growing Pains, Left Behind, Grand Isle, Conair, American Psycho, The Terminator, The Monkees, Snot, The Chet Buchanan Show, Hard to Kill, SNL, Liberty Medical, The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson, Die Hard, Avengers: Infinity War, Entourage, Say Anything, The Godfather Part 3, Biloxi Blues, Dish Network, The Outsider, Once Upon A Time in Hollywood, The Waterboy, Derek Smith & Keith Billik, The Who, Lord of War.1\\xa0\\n\\n--- \\n\\nSend in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/NobodyPutsNicInACage/message"
