Described as part of Nic Cage's "genuinely befuddling and perhaps sad phase", we are joined by friend and guest Kyle P to talk about 2015's Chinese cinema great: Outcast. Cage stars opposite a bland Hayden Christensen as "White Ghost". Join us and find out how many snakes is the correct amount of snakes...This is Cage Match

The Croods
The CroodsJanuary 22, 2026

Pile up, gang, we're talking The Croods. Will Nick love the original Croods more than the sequel? What is your favorite weird hybrid critter? Does anyone remember Clark Duke? Prepare for some weird audio for some reason and Nick's least favorite character list. This is Cage Match.

Seeking Justice
Seeking JusticeJanuary 8, 2026

Grab your pissdog, it's a semi-intense thriller by the director of Dante's Peak so we of course mostly discuss anal insertions. Let's go deep with master pissers, secret societies, vindictive murder, January Jones, and hair plugs. Also, why does Producer Peter look so good with Guy Pierce's hairline? This is Cage Match.

Grindhouse
GrindhouseDecember 11, 2025

Ooh boy, here we go. It's 3 hours of movie time without Nic Cage with a cameo in a fake trailer as a racist caricature. What have we done? Cage Dancer John joins us to talk about the 2007 grind house films Planet Terror (Robert Rodriguez) and Death Proof (Quentin Tarantino). It's campy, it's stupid, but is it fun? Hold onto your ball jar, this is Cage Match.

The Carpenter's Son
The Carpenter's SonNovember 27, 2025

Hot damn, it's a NEW, in theaters, Nic Cage movie. Lotfy (totally not Lofty) Nathan's new movie about the Infancy Gospel of Thomas, kinda, and exploring the life and times of angsty teen Jesus. Oh wait, sorry, "The Boy". Nic Cage plays a SoCal style father figure while FKA Twigs purses her lips really hard. Will Nick keep his oath? Are devils chickens? Mouthy ones only today. This is Cage Match.

The Ant Bully
The Ant BullyNovember 13, 2025

Oh lord, here we go. It's another animated Cage movie. This time by the studio that brought the horrid eyesore Jimmy Neutron to life. So of course we end up talking about Orson Welles and ant magic instead. Oh, and grandmas fuck now. This is Cage Match.

Sonny
SonnyOctober 30, 2025

The most important lesson here is that if you're ever feeling like the cock of the walk after winning your first hand of gin...maybe don't get right into your car. We're obviously talking Sonny this episode. Nic Cage's one and only directing attempt. You have to deal with some James Franco face, but it might be worth it. Keep it in your pants, Halloween Ted. This is Cage Match.

Christmas Carol: The Movie

Get ready to jig and reverse jig your way to debtor's prison...because we're talking Christmas Carol: The Movie...and no, it's not the Zemeckis 3d diarrhea one. We're joined by four time Cage Match guest, Shey, to deep dive into mice in films, chains and The Holiday. Come and be visited by our three horrible specters. This is Cage Match.

Deadfall
DeadfallOctober 2, 2025

Alright, Baby, pre-moisten those lollipops because we're in for a ride. It's Christopher Coppola's 1993 Deadfall! A movie about criss cross double crosses that star Michael Biehn calls one of his worst movies ever. We're joined by friend, Joey "The Smoke" to try and unpack one of Cage's wildest performances. Wig? Check. Fake nose? Check. Weird voice? Fuck yes, check. This is Cage Match.
