The Wicker Man vs Wild at Heart

Pull up the cuck chair, it’s about to get conspiracy theory-y in this podcast. We’re debating David Lynch’s 1990 freedom hit, Wild at Heart and 2006’s Rollin’ Neil LaBute’s “black comedy” remake of The Wicker Man. Get ready for some hog talk because we’ve brought back Darryl Edge of Cage/Rage and new guest, and dangerous sexy person, Tank. The friends, of course, are the spiders we made along the way. This is Cage Match.

Face/Off vs Con AirAugust 22, 2024

The biggest head to head match-up to date seems an appropriate time to introduce: Podcast Court. The Slicksteen starts while returning guests, Gary and Rox, defend the honor of Face/Off and Shey teaches us a thing or two about Con Air. Let's get thick in the zeitgeist of '97. Who makes the better case? Which movie has the correct amount of face touching? Won't someone please put that bunny back in the damn box? This is Cage Match.
