Published: May 8, 2020, 3:44 p.m.

b"Welcome to what could be our first ever Cagetastically perfect installment. For our 8th episode we explore two gems from Mr. Cage's ecclectic filmography. First up is Ridley Scott's black comedic crime film Matchstick Men (2003). We find Nic playing a depressed con artist with severe obsessive compulsive disorder, who through a series of events meets his long lost daughter, plans a risky con with his partner Frank and tries to better himself with the help of his new therapist. It's a brilliantly acted, written and directed film that showcases Mr. Cage's true range and talent. In our second film Nic plays a married father of two in the midst of a mid-life crisis in Brian Taylor's dark horror thriller Mom And Dad (2017). One day, for reason's no one can explain, parent's across the world are suddenly compelled to kill their children. This unleashes some of Nic's best moments on film and reminds us of just how good an actress Selma Blair is. Along the way we will discuss the time Nic ate mushrooms with his cat, why he only eats animals that don't have weird sex, the unique stalkers he's had in his life and his eccentric pet purchase.\\n\\nClips from:\\nGone in 60 Seconds, Kesha, Serial Mom, Jello Pudding Pops, Late Night with David Letterman, Nine Inch Nails, Monty Python and the Holy Grail, Matchstick Men, Oceans 11, The Green Mile, Drag Me To Hell, Frank Sinatra, Johnny Mercer, Rick & Morty, Color Out of Space, Pulp Fiction, Mom And Dad, Crank, Crank High Voltage, Ghost Rider Spirits of Vengeance, Happy, American Pie, Aliens, Dusty Springfield, Timex, Roxette, MacGyver, Erasure, The Who & Lord of War. \\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\n\\n--- \\n\\nSend in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/NobodyPutsNicInACage/message"
